JOBBERS GET ARMY
BACON FOR so Cents
Re-Sold To Consumer For
Almost Double That
Amount

Washington, Aug. 12-While tbs
nation has been crying for cheaper
meats, the government recently has
sold millions of pounds of bacon for
so cents a pound to rehandlers. Ul-
timately this meat reaches the con-
sumner. The present retail price of
such meats is from Sc to 60 cents
a pound.
Large quantities of army supplies,
&c was learned today. were sold to
various concerns by the War De-
partment before a halt was called on
unregulated selling by Congress and
other agencies.
In the future the bulk of the sup
plies will go to- the municipalities and
more directly to the consumer by par
eel post, and there will be no more
selling of surplus in Europe in con-
formity with the demands of Con-
gress.
Big Bid Fails.
One of the biggest of the PROPOSE
tions of the War Department to sell
vast stores by competitive bidding
failed some time ago because the
prices that were offered by those who
wanted large lots were so small t
the War Department cancled all of
the bids. Before that, however, the
following sales were made:
To the Hudson River Day Line
900 pounds of mutton at eighteen
cents a pound.
To Baltimore firm-Two million
pounds of bacon at thirty cents a
pound.
To another Baltimore firm-44S,-
geo pounds of bacon.
To Brooklyn firm-Two sales
one was 44S,OOO pounds of bacon
which brought $764,56O; the other
was 2.24S,OOO pounds which brought
S713,S6O, (about 80 cents a pound
The original idea of the War De-
partment was that large quantities OF
surplus should not be put on the mar
ket at any one time because such q
policy would disturb the market
Large quantities, however, have been
recently offered tn nugh agencies OF
municipalities and the Post office De
partment direct to the consume. am
Inc effect has Hcon that the market
was in fact disturbed. 1t had, &C
cording to the War Department state
ment of yesterday, the effect of caus
! ing retailers to lower their prices.

FRENCH ACT insult
To U. 5. AT Vienna
Bitter Because Americans
Ask That Rumanians
Quit Hungary.

h Paris, Aug. 1.-THE story of a de-
liberate act of effrontery against the
United States peace commission here
and of how the Americans got even"
has just became known.
Brig Gen. II. H. Bandholtz, the
American member of the allied mis-
sion to Budapest, was prevented by
the French from accompanying the
other members of the mission to the
Hungarian capital in the special train
chartered and run by the French.
Use Special Train.
At the last moment, General Band
holtz was notified there was no room
for him aboard that train. The Amer
leans swallowed the insult but inn
mediately secured special train from
the Austrians at Vienna and with it
beat the French train into Budapest.
(Note)-It appears from the dis
patch that the allied-American Off
Gals were in Vienna at the time the
mission was decided on, so that I.
blame for the conduct toward General
Bandholtz lies with French officials
at Vienna. not with the French gov
eminent at Paris)
So bitter is the French attitude in
Austria and Hungary against the
Americans because of the American
demand that the Rumanians, whom
the French support, should leave
Hungary, that every possible obstacle
is being placed in their way. The
treatment of General Bandholtz is
only an illustration of the whole con-
duct toward Americans by French Of
fcials in the former Hapsburg empire.
In the face of immense difficulties
the Americans, being virtually power
less in that sphere of influence
have taken the situation as good na.
turedly as they could, swallowing
many an insult and trying to work fol-
harmony.
Because of it's diplomatic delicacy
no mention is made of the Bandhoit2
Incident in official quarters. MOI are
the Americans complaining. In the
effort to accomplish something con-
crete in the face of the strong oppo
sition, they are willing to stand al.
MIST anything.

SOUTH CARROLLTON
BANK BURGLARIZED
One Of 3 Highwaymen Cap
tured-Others Make
Escape

Three white men, poorly disguised
as negroes, entered the Citizens
Bank of South Carrollton, last Mon
day at about o'clock, =. NJ, and a.
the revolver's point held up the Off
GERS and robbed the bank, securing
approximately $1,000 in cash, the
greater portion of which, If not all,
was i'm gold, $4,000 of coupon bonds
ana S15,O0O in registered bonds, the
latter of course will not be lost to the
owners.
The three men drove up in an au-
TO and after holding the bank up, at
tempted to get away in the auto, but
for some reason the motor worked
poorly and but little distance was
covered before they took to their
heels. Marshal Ashley encountered
the bandits as they were getting away
from the bank and shots were sent
his way, one of which inflicted leg
wound that disabled him. The rob
bers crossed the river into Ohio coun-
ty. and then back into Muhlenburg.
at least one of them did, where he
was captured late that evening. as he
was emerging from a thicket. The
captured man is John Wells "A resi-
dent of Central City, and according t.
his confession his two partners in
the crime are likewise residents of TIE
same place, or have been until re-
Gently. Their names as given, are
Forest Withers and Alfred Arm
strong. all are said to be of good fam
lilies
A large posse searched long and
faithfully for the uncaptured bandits
, but so far without results. II is now
thought the men have succeeded in
elualng capture. for the present. De
tectives have been on the grounds
for some time, and as the two escaped
robbers are well known their cap
few days at the most
The holdup was nicely planned by
the three. according to Wells story
in Cincinnati, Ohio. some time ago
The Carrollton bank being selected
because each OF the three were famil-
lar with the bank and surrounding
country. The burglary too, was per
petrated under ideal conditions
There was big show in Central City
on that day and almost everyone who
was not busily engaged was, OF
course, attending the show, as Central
City is only three miles from the
scene of the robbery.
The looted bank carried burglar
insurance which fully protects the
interest of stockholders and deposit
tors. No material loss will be sus
stained by any patron of the bank, ex
cept, however, owners of some of the
unregistered bonds, who may haY'
left them with the bank merely as
matter of convenience, may sustain
losses to the extent Of the amount Of
their bonds stolen. OF this matter
tho, we are not advised.
