Randolph, Mass, Nov. lS.-The Ran
dolpb Savings bank, which was robbed
of nearly $4,000 yesterday, was
searched minutely to-day for finger
prints or other clues to the identity
of the armed bandits who in broad
daylight held up the treasurer and his
assistant In addition to the state po-
lice regularly assigned to this district
a special force OF officers was al work
on the case, and the Boston police in
spectors and representatives of two pri-
yate detective agencies were actively
assisting
All were agreed that the robbery was
the work of experts who had carefully
planned it and had probably made fire.

he could recall he had never seen any
Of the bandits until they attacked him
yesterday, leaving him bound and
gagged in a corner of the bank while
they cleaned the vault Of valuables.
The automobile used by the robbers
was probably one that was stolen last
Friday from the garage of A. w. Lum-
bert, shoe manufacturer in Brockton.

night as his. The number plate on
the Lumbert ear had been removed and
replaced by a plate stolen from the
automobile of another Brocleton man
As the latter has been accustomed to
leave his car, an old one, in his back
yard at night, il was an easy matter
to obtain his number plate.

REPUTATION
OF THE TREATY
Says Lord Robert Cecil of Action of
Senate on German Treaty
Reservations.

London, Nov lit would be diff
cult to exaggerate the gravity of the
international situation, said Lord Rob
ert Cecil in the House of Commons
yesterday while the governments Rus
sian policy was under debate. 1t was
impossible to ignore either, the serious
news from the United States, he said,
in referring to the action of the Senate
on the German peace treaty. He did
not desire to express an opinion of the
legitimacy of the Senate's action from
the American viewpoint, he declared,
but sthe reservations that had been pro-
visionally accepted amounted almost
to the reputation of the covenant, and
the reputation of the treaty.
"At the best" continued Lord Rob
ert, nothing is to be expected but a
long period of negotiations and the pos
sibility of further reflections when the
negotiations are concluded. We desire
American cooperation and American
leading but if the United States de-
cides not to share in this great inter
national effort we must go on and the
burden will be the greater upon us
and the other nations
Lord Robert declared that bolshevism
at its best was oppressive tyranny and
at its worst bloody, brutal despotism
He said it appeared impossible to crush
bolshevism by force. He was convinced
that foreign Intervention was useless
and expressed the hope that General
Denikine (leader of the anti bolshevik
forces in southwest Russia) and Ad-
miral Kolchak (head of the all Russian
government would abandon the at
tempt to reach Moscow and endeavor
to establish stable government in the
territories already occupied. This, Lord
Robert asserted, would have an over
whelming moral effect on the neighbor-
ing bolshevik country.

Paris, Nov. Is. Regardless Of the
American governments attitude, the
peace treaty Of Versailles will be put
into force, according to the prevalent
view here to-day, following receipt of
the report that President Wilson might
withdraw the treaty from the United
States Senate.
Whatever happens, the feeling in
French circles is that France cannot
meet the German plenipotentiaries
again, and French opinion is that Italy
and Great Britain have like feeling.

Silver and silver plate manufacturers
have been so pressed with business
during the last few months that sew
eral OF the larger concerns have been
forced to refuse orders or to accept
them only with the understanding that
deliveries would not be made for two
or shree months. An added stimulus
has been given their business through
the unusual demand that has come
from retailers and dealers for silver

large sllversmith declared yesterday
that the outlook for the Christmas bus
mess is excellent. and that orders al
ready received for delivery prior to
that period are greatly in excess of
those OF any previous year.
Retailers are particularly anxious to
obtain the better grade articles. Manu-
facturers are receiving large orders for
