Withrow, Mimi. April 5.-Robbers
broke into the State Bank of Withrow
last night and escaped with loot from
safety deposit boxes only, after fail
ing to open the safe.
The robbers gained access to the
bank by cutting their way through a

Proffcred Aid Not Accepted.
"In addressing ourselves to the

tain facts are at once apparent. For
four years, ten OF the SO departments

Only a little has been accomplished
towards the rebuilding of homes, the

the land, in the two years that have
elapsed since the ending of the war.
For the immediate rehabilitation of
these devastated regions Germany
has repeatedly proncred labor. tech

These have not been accepted, nor
have they even reached the point OF

not far to seek.

"Other considerations have been adj

he proposal that our former oppon-
ents in the great war should partici-

produce only proceeds in paper

indeed, the Allied and Associated gov

proposals in the treaty of Versailles
by taking for themselves a first mort

sources of income of the German

of the problem. The government of

The immense government airdome at New Castle with it's complicated wireless and telegraph equipment was dismantled by insurgent strikers, and telegraph poles and wires were cut down near Shields.
 Extensive incendiarism marked the course of the strike last night. Sporadic outbreaks of fighting also occurred and houses were footed in the strike area.
 With no evidence of compromise coming from the strikers, the govern ment and coal mine owners today prepared for industrial war of long length. Army, navy and air reserves called out by King George probably will be used to replace the strikers and transportation and cornmunica- ton maintained.
