At the Ritz Carlton last night Mr..
Ford gave out more detailed account Of
his mission here. He said the big bridge
over the Danube is to replace one blown
up by the Rumanians to prevent the Ger

BANDITS STEAL SILK
VALUED AT $4,000
Drivers Held Up and Two and
q Half Tons Taken From
Truck.

Highwaymen held up an automobile
truck carrying two and a half tons Of
silk on the Tunnel road in Morristown.
N. j.. yesterday afternoon and got away
with the entire load, valued at between
$4,000 and 100000. The police of
northern New Jersey and detectives in
the employ of the Silk Association OF
America are combing the country for
miles about the scene of the robbery
In an effort to locate the bandita And
their plumber. They have only the most
meagre description.
The truck and its contents belong to
the Wilkesbarre silk Mills Of Wilkes
barre and Paterson. 1t was being driven
from the former to the latter city by
street and Louis Deacon OF 40 Pearl
str Get, both OF Paterson.
According to the story told the police
by the drivers large limousine, driven
by n negro, appeared directly In front OF
them. They were obliged to slow down
to avoid a collision. As they did so, two
men Jumped out Of the limousine and
covered werser and Deacon with revoiv-
ers. They were ordered to leave the
truck. they said. and to enter the limou-
sine. Once inside. the curtains were
clambered In after them.
Then commenced q ride over a route
which they cannot describe, but which
they say lasted for at least an hour.
They were constantly threatened with
instant death. according to their story.
II they made the faintest outcry. At
length the limousine stopped and they
were ordered out. They found them
selves on lonely road. which afterward
proved to be in Caldwell. fifteen miles
from Morr1stown.
To the astonishment OF werger and
Deacon. the truck they had been driving
toward Paterson was standing beside
them. It's rear door was open and the
cargo of silk gone. The couple were
made to climb inside. still at the points
Of revolvers, and the door was slammed
behind them and locked from the outsidN.
after which the limousine sped away
they are unable to say IN which direo-
ton.
Werger and Deacon commences
pounding on the inside of the truck IN
an effort to attract attention from pas
sersby. The road at that point Is I'M
frequented, they say, and 1t was some
time before they were able to make
themselves heard by woman who
CHANGED to pass. She called aid and
the two drivers were released They
were 90 excited that tho police had
difficulty at first in obtaining a con-
nected story Of the robbery from them.
They ware able to give only the vasuest
description Of the couple they say held
