French Army Is Robbed
OF Millions in Marks
Theft of Bags of Money From
Cellar of Postoffice Re-
vealed bv Four Arrests

PARIS, Oct. 13.-The theft of several
million marks, valued at 38OO.0OO
francs, from the treasurers office of
the army postoffice in Paris in Septem-
ber, 1919, which the army had not
missed has been revealed by the ar
rest of four alleged members of a
gang that quietly carried off the bags
of money, which had been left in a
corner of the cellar.
Albert Grandin, formerly an ORDERLY
in the office, said, according to the DO
lice, that he found a few bags of
money in the cellar and waited until
there were several million marks
enough to make it worth whle.' He
and his brother, CASTOR, and two women
are now in the hands OF the police, and
others of the gang are being sought.
The band suffered severely by rea-
son of the exchange on marks. the DO
lice say, realizing only 100000 francs.
The money melted rapidly, and Albert
Grandin, who opened q cabaret in a
suburban town, informed the police
that he had been reduced to highway
robbery.

PARIS, Oct. 13.=In lthoritative
French quarters it is believed that
an active -Bolshevik policy now
on the part of all the small countries
bordering Russia would result in the
early collapse of the Soviet govern
ment in Moscow.
Conversations with the obiect of
initiating such anti-Red policies are
already taking place under French
inspiration among all the borde-
peoples from the Baltic 90 the Black
Sea.
If an agreement for joint action
and mutual support results from
these conversations, the Russo-Polish
armistice and preliminary reace pact
signed yesterday at Riga viii only
provide an interval in whiea the
Poles can prepare a new offensive.
1t is understood that ihe states hor-
dering Russia are more inclined this
time than on previous occasions ta li+-

The most impressive feature of the

the comparative uniformity of prices
throughout the country, a condition
caused in part by the high prices in

of December prices in Idaho, usually

were higher than in Maine, which
commonly has been relative high in

less difference between prices East
