All Federal Buildings TO Be Placed
Under Guard of Soidiers-First
Tryout at Chicago.

Chicago, April 27.-Regular army
troops are to guard all government
property in Chicago until such time
as the daring and successful opera
tons Of the city's criminals are
checked by the local authorities.

ment to the half-dozen big mail rob-
berries recently, which have cost it in
the neighborhoOd Of $2,0OO,O00.
Notice Of the unprecedented move
was received by Postmaster William
b. Garlic in the form of a letter from
the postmaster general. The letter
stated that regular troops We're being
assigned Immediately to guard the
Federal building, the Federal Reserve
bank, postal substations and all other
government property where money or
articles of value are handled.
This move on the part of the gov
eminent was made on recommendation
of Postmaster Garlic a week G in
a letter to the postmaster general.
The letter received almost instant at
t%ention, and in the reply which the
postmaster received he is authorized
to take immediate action.
Mr.. Garlic already has sent forward
a recommendation that troops be as
signed here Immediately.
Mr.. Garlic said that according to
information gathered by post office in
spectOrs, the many recent mail rob-
berries throughout the country have
been the work Of organized gangs who
have worked together. The headquar-
tiers of these gangs, federal authori-
ties believe, has been Chicago and for
that eason Chicago was chosen as
the city where the new plan of using
federal troops will be tried. Later, it
is planned TO use the same methods in
New York, Philadelphia, Indianapolis
and other large cities where large
amounts Of money are sent and re-
ceived through the mails.
