Disappear With
$223'OOO in Bonds

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Liberty
bonds valued at $223,O00 were stolen
yesterday from two brokerage firms
in the financial district here, it was
learned at police headquarters late to-
day. The stolen bonds in each in
stance had been intrusted to mes
sengers, who have disappeared.
Richard Whitney & Co. were the
victims of the larger theft. This firm
dispatched messenger with $178,000
worth of bonds to the offices of Kid
der, Peabody & Co., brokers, across
the street from the Whitney office.
The bonds consisted mostly of Victory
notes, although among them were
of the earlier issues. The messenger
a boy, did not deliver the bonds, and
the police are searching for him.
The other theft was from Simmons
& Slade, whose loss totaled &45, 900
in Liberty bonds of the second issue.
They were stolen under circumstances
similar to those under which the bonds
of Whitney & Co. were taken.
At the police commissioners office
it was stated that the messenger who
was intrusted with the $45, 900 Liberty
bonds by Simmons & Slade had rec
ord of similar theft here of $4,000
in Liberty bonds for which he was
brought back from Los Angeles last
April and given a suspended sentence.
ut doesn't look as if his record had
been looked into very carefully" it
was added.
Both messengers were under bonds
of surety company.

Colonel John j. PhcIan, in charge Mt
the armory, said he had no information
from any source about the return OF
the troops.
The Womcn's Auxiliary will meet
Wednesday and discuss plans for the
reception Of the 165th. The members
have been in almost constant touch
with men Of the regiment, both here
and abroad, and are practically ready
with their welcome plans.
There are about TOO wounded men of
the old Goth Regiment in hospitals
throughout the country. Most of the
wounded, who reside in New York, are
IN hospitals here.
While II Is possiblc that the FIRST
units OF tho regiment may have sailed
from Franco yesterday, it Is believed
more likely that they started from the
interior Of Germany, where they have
been on duty, and are now en- route for
port of debarkation.
Arrangements have not been com
pleted for Il parade of the Rainbow
Division, though it is believed the
lo5th Infantry will hold celebration

hour on the flood. The master and tho

the bridge made excellent calculations.

For sheer bravery and grit, officers
of New York's Metropolitan Division,
the 77th, arc certain that their unit has
an officer with the most remarkable
record in the entire American army.
He is Captain Wardlow L. Miles, Of
Princeton, known to his men as 1.-THE

i'm southern New Jersey with one leg
off and an arm shattered Some time,
in the course of events in the War
Department, there will come the an
nouncement that he has been awarded
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
That coveted and comparatively rare
decoration has been won by half
dozen men Of the 77th About 150
others have been or will be awarded
the d. S. c., according to reliable in
formation, but Major Allen Lindley, a
member Of the advance party now here
arranging for the divisions homccom-
ing, declares no man in any army ever
deserved more one of the little tokens
IN recognition Of gallantry.
Major Lindley, who was notified bv
cable yesterday OF his promotion from
captain, told the story at the advance
party's headquarters at the Biltmore.

Miles came to u.s." he said, latter
the second Plattsburg camp. He was
1orty-five years old, the father of four
children and lieutenant, a gray-haired
lieutenant among the flock of boyish
subalterns. He had been professor
OF English or English history or some
thing at Princeton, and somehow he
looked it. The men smiled at him and
called him THE Professor but soon
came to love him. When we got to
the front in the Baccarat sector in
June he began to show what a man
he was.
