PARIS, Feb. 2.--The next war, SAYS
the French General Maitrot, holds as
many surprises on land as on sea.
France, he says, since the armistice
has perfected projectile so powerful
that dozen would wipe out city like.
Berlin. Since the war great progress
has been made in all European coun-
tries in the construction of tanks
silent guns and heavy artillery of all
kinds. These will be the chief land
weapons in future battles. Of aero
nautics General Maitrot says: "Who.
ever masters the air will rule tn )
EARTH" The airplane will be undis-
puted master of future territorial
battles.
The great danger which surface yes
sells run in the future is shown by the
power CT the new French air bombs. AT
the time of the arristice the French
already were preparing half-ton pro
jectile which if it exploded within j
hundred feet of cruiser would in
fallibiy sink it. The latest French
bomb of this type weighs ton, or
twice as large as is needed to sink a
cruiser.
About the Germans, General Maitrot
says:

Screams Bring Police
Robbers, However, Had Es-
capped; Chauffeur Held
ON a Charge of Completely

Screams coming from taxicab mov-
ing east along Thirty-fourth Street
last night attracted the attention of
Patrolmen Finn nd Foley, of the West
Thirtieth Street Police Station, and
led to the arrest of James Fox, the
chauffeur, for alleged completely in the
theft of $4,000 Russian sable coat,
which had but short time before
adorned the person of his screaming
passenger, Mrs. Frank L. Thabot.
The policemen caught the car driven
by Fox after they had Communicated
another automobile and chased him as
far as Broadway. At the police station
Mrs. Thabot said that she had engaged
Fox at Forty y-eighth Street and Broad
way to drive her to the Hotel Penn
sylvania, where she said she was stay
ing. Instead of doing so, she said that
Fox drove her to Thirtyfourth Street
and Ninth Avenue, where the taxi
stopped and was entered by two men,
who robbed her of her coat.
Says Chauffeur Promised Aid
Fox, she said, comforted her with
the words: "That's all right, kid; we'll
chase 'em"
He failed to do so and drove in the
opposite direction, she said.
Fox said he was twenty-seven years
old and gave his address as 365 Ninth
Avenue He was charged with acting
in concert with the thieves, who are
still at large.
Mrs. ThaDot said that the actions of
the taxicab driver convinced her that
he intended to aid the thieves rather
than to protect her. He went out of
his way, she pointed out, to pass the
spot where the theft occurred.
Thieves Fled Toward River
When she had been compelled to sur
render the coat, she continued, the
thieves fed toward the Hudson River,
She started impulsively to pursue them
afoot. she said, but Fox left his seat
and thrust her back into the cab, Civ
ing his omforting pledge to take up
the chase.
Instead of turning west, said Mrs;
Thabot, Fox started east and sped
swiftly through Thirty-fourth Street
needless of her repeated commands to
stop. He showed no intention OF
slackening his pace, she said, even
when she leaned from the window OF
the vehicle and began screaming SO
loudly and continuously that persons
on the sidewalk turned to watch the
speeding taxicab

Plot to Blow Up Legion

28 Sticks of Dynamite Put Under

ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. 2.-An at
tempt to dynamite the American Legion
Building here tonight was frustrated
by Henry G.. Lancaster, Legionnaire,
who discovered the smoking fuse of a
package of dynamite planted beneath
corner of the building and stamped
it out
About fifty members of the American
Legion were in the building at the
time.
The package, containing twenty eight
sticks of dynamite, was wrapped in a
copy Of a Montesano, Wash, newspaper
and had ten-foot length of fuse at
tached,
Lancaster was passing the Legion
Building when ne saw man crawling
away from it, and accosted him.
Lancaster's Investigation brought to
light the package, which he turned ever
to the police after extinguishing the
fuse.
1t ia believed here that the attempt is
an aftermath of the Centralia Armistice
Day murders, when four former service
men were shot down. The Aberdeen
Legion took part in the early days OF
the trial of the slayers in guarding the
county Jail at Montesano.

November Hold Up Here

for a Loan at Memphis

Broadway Firm Received
Them and Reserve Insti-
tuition Disclosed Identity

Two hundred and thirty-fve> thou
sand dollars worth of the S466, 1000 in
Liberty bonds stolen from brokers'
messengers in front of the Igo Broth
ers factory on Metropolitan Avenue,
Brooklyn, November 80, were found yes
terday. They were discovered only
after the robbers or their agents had
cashed in on them in exactly the same
fashion employed months ago, when
the epidemic of bond robberies was at
its height.
Bonds aggregating 100000 were
turned into the Federal Reserve Bank
yesterday by C. F. Childs & Co., of 12o
Broadway, to be exchanged for bonds
of lower denominations. Although the
bonds had been through at least one
other bank, and probably in the hands
of several brokers, it was not until
they reached the Federal Reserve Bank
that it was noticed that their numbers
were those of bonds stolen in the hold
up on Metropolitan Avenue.
Prosecutor Starts Inquiry
District Attorney Harry E. Lewis of
Brooklyn was notified by the Federal
Reserve Bank and started his inquiries
at the office of Childs g. Co. That firm
was astounded to discover that not only
had it sent almost 100000 worth of
stolen bonds to, the Federal Reserve
Bank but that it had $145,O00 more of
the stolen bonds in it's vaults.
Officers of the firm of Kean, TAYLOR
& Co., from whose messengers the
bonds were stolen, identified the securi-
ties. The firm of Childs & Co. received
the bonds from its Chicago office, and
IN endeavoring to trace their course
since they were snatched from the hand
of the messenger whom the robbers
felled with revolver butt. District
Attorney Lewis found that they had
been disposed of in the same manner
employed by the bond-stealing gang
which was so active last year.
SO far as he could discover, the bonds
reappeared for the first time several
months ago at the Union and Planters
National Bank, Memphis, Tenn. They
were deposited there as collateral for
loan and were filed away in the vault
without any suspicion that they formed
0art of the loot of a daring robbery.
Came Here From Chicago
The robbers or their agent followed
LAe usual CHSIoIi Oh paying no IufLNef
attention to the loan obtained on the
bonds and in due course they were sold
by the bank and came into the hands
of the Chicago branch of Childs & Co.,
which sent them to the New York
Office.
Although the trail probably is cold
by this time, District Attorney Lewis
sent detective to Memphis last night
to try to find out who had negotiated
the loan at the Union and Planters
Bank, how he got possession of the
bonds and what had become of him.
Two men were arrested in connec-
tion with the robbery soon after it
took place. One of them, who had
been head messenger for Kean, Taylor
& Co., is said to have admitted calling
up barber shop on East Eleventh
Street and informing "the chief" that
The messengers were on their way to
Metropolitan Avenue with the bonds.
The other prisoner was identified as

nave recently completed remarkably
heavy 500 luick-hring, sound!ess gun.
The krupps also have a new 77-milli-
meter gun modelled along the lines of
cur glorious 75s. 1t is as mobile and
rapid, but is lighter and carries as far
as 10 kilometers. The Krupps are now
endeavoring to make this gun sound
less. 1t would be revolution of the
art OF war'if the position of the enemy's
batteries could no longer be gauged by
sound. 1t is imperative that the French
keep up to the same standard by study"
General Maitrot says that the rapid
pace which an airplane can travel now
adays must not be forgotten. "At 200
kilometers an hour" he points out, "it
would take only three hours to fly from
the right bank of the Rhine to Paris.
In few hours our capital could be
annlhilated without a struggle, no re-
slstance being possible. Even at a
height of $4,000 feet it is remarkable
what accuracy can be obtained by a
bomber If he descends q few hun
dred feet the precision of his aim is
alarming.
Air projectiles can be made to deal
certain death by containing poison gas
as we'll as explosives. BY using the
new methods of compressing noxious
gases, it will be possible with gas
laden bombs to submerge entire dis
tricts in poisonous waves.
eff the Germans and Bolsheviki
unite one day against France we can
expect this kind of an &nvasion."
