NEW YORK.-Three masked men
entered Stephen Vassassilpoulous'
living quarters, in the rear of one
Of his fifteen orangeade stands on the
Brighton Beach board walk, before
dawn. When Mr.. Vassassilopoulous
awoke they were aiming revolvers at
him.
One of them produced a roll of ad-
hesive plaster, and after his comDan-
ions had tied Mr.. Vassassilpoulous'
hands and feet and placed him on his
bed the man with the tape began to
wind it around their victims head. He
enveloped Mr.. Vassassilpiuulous'
head almost completely in the layers
of sticky bandage, gagging him most
effectually.
He stood guard over Mr.. vassassi-
lopoulous while his two companions
set to work on safe in the next
room in which were $400 in Liberty
bonds and $1,700 in currency. Mr.
Vassa ssilpoulous' eyes were not
covered, however, and in his anxiety
concerning his savings he tWitched
and rolled on the bed to see how the
safebreakers were progressing.
Every time Mr.. Vassa ssilopoulous
moved the man who stood guard over
him seized two or three hairs of the
right side of Mr.. Vassassilopou1ou
mustache, which protuded from the
headwrappings, and pulled them out.
In spite of this punishment Mr.. Vas

his curiosity, and long before the

STILLS ARE RAIDED
ON OGEECHEE RIVER

Telegraphic dispatches received at
the federal prohibition offices in At
lanta Thursday morning brought the
news that large outfit of stills and
d1stilling apparatus had been cap
tured in raid near Savannah, on the
Ogeechee river, Wednesday after
noon.
Federal officials, including men
who have been in the prohibition
service for some time, declared that
the outfit captured Wednesday was
the largest in the history of the serV-
Ice. Eight copper stills, two metal
stills and I'll fermenters, together
with 1900 gallons of beer and SO
gallons of whisky were reported cap
tured. The dispatch stated that the
outfit was found on the land of a
man named Ed Lloyd.
Federal Agent e. c. Pearce led the
party of prohibition agents that
staged the raid. The dispatches re-
ceived Thursday in Atlanta gave only
the meager details concerning the
raid and did not state the exact To-
cation of the outfit. Federal agents
in Atlanta were of the opinion that
it was an outfit which is believed to
have been supplying a large portion
of the whisky which is said to have
been coming from the seaboard. They
have been searching for such a still
for some time.
I've been in the service for a long
time" declared Agent G. T. E. Harde-
man Thursday, but this is the larg-
est outfit that I have ever heard of
being captured. The men certainly
must have been making lots of
money to put so much money in
stills and locate them all in one
place"
No arrastS xx,ara MOI de in the raid
but 1t was stated that the officers
have sufficient information to make
cases against the operators Of the

| new type steamers have been allo-
Gated by the shipping board for serv-
ice from New York to Brunswick,

pany is negotiating with the At
lantic Refining company for gas to
be furnished Brunswick from Arco,
the plant of this company. 1t is
OF superior gas available at the Arco
plant, being a by-product Of the re-
filming processes in the manufacture
of gasoline and kerosene. The quail
ity of the gas is said to be equal
or superior to that now being fur
ter company The cost to the con-
sumner will probably be less.
The chooner Louise Howard, be-
longing to the Ocean Leather com
pany, went aground at Beaufort, S.
u, on her way to Brunswick. Re-
ports are that she has broken UP.
The Louise Howard was en- route

PRINCE RUPPRECHT
FORESAW DEFEAT

LONDON.-A letter written by
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
in July, 1917, to Count Hertling, then
imperial chancellor, is quoted from
The Muenchener Zeitung by the Ber-
lin correspondent of The London
Times. 1t is evidence of the fore
bodings of forthcoming disaster in
the mind OF TIC o:ipCe VINO, from
his experiences as a general at the
trent, fcresaw TO WHIT Germany was
coming.
The crown prince insisted in this
letter on the necessity of peace with
Russia in any case by the beginning
of 1913, and urged that all idea Of
anneXations and compensation should
be excluded. Dealing with German
submarine warfare he said that it
was shardly likely to lead to the star
walton of England, or at any rate
only after q very long time. He
considered the bomb attacks on Lon
don entirely mistaken. They only
led to reprisals and to an increase
Of bitterness against Germany.
He advised negotiations with the
enemy and proposed that either the
king of Spain or the king Of Sweden
should be told the German war aims,
which shoul dbe limited to return
to the status quo ante with the ex-
clusion of claims for compensation.
The conclusion of peace should not
be brought to shipwreck by insis-
tence On the return of the colonies.
Austria must be induced to cede some
districts to Italy in order that at
least that adversary may be dis
lodged
Referring to the situation at home,
the crown prince stated with great
force that the middle class in Bava-
ria had become anti-monarchist, and
in the other German states anti-mon-
archial feeling was even worse. Ref
erence to the kaiser showed that feel
ing is Of such a nature that many Sc
riously thinking people doubt wheth-
er the dynasty of the Hohenzollerns
can survive the war

down here in which about fifty cVu-
pies stand in a circle. AS the music
plays, we all walk slowly around,
the men catching the girls hands
as they pass.
when there is a pause in the
music, each man takes as his partner
the young woman opposite him.

when the princess came in. She be-
