ROBBERY CT the UnitcG States
mails is to become a little more
hazardous than it has been in the
past.
The postmaster general has
instructed tnat men who handle
valuable mail shall 60 armed and
ready to perforate any bandit
who appears. He also offers a
reward of $1,000 to any mail man
who brings in a robber.
Citizens of small towns and
rural communities have not been
so vitality interested in the re.
ign of crime as are people in the
large centers of population, where
the bulk of the banditry -four
ishes. But when it comes to
looting the mails the blow strikes
home to every citizen, no matter
how isolated his residence may
be.
The only good robber is a dead
one. The mail men will likely
shoot often and straight and the
reward should be paid for a dead
head as freely as for a live car
caSS.

ever or, lnized in he worlds history

that military men, Allied, neutral and

stituted oday.
That lie efficiency of the training
system c the American forces in Ger-l
many, t. excellence of their equip
ment anu their faultless military beal-
ing, are generally recognized through
out Europe is shown by the fact that
missions from various countries have
either visited Coblenz during the past
few months or have applied for per-
mission to come to this base and get
first hand knowledge of how it is
done.
A few weeks ago the Chief-of-Staf
OF the Swiss army, accompanied by
several officers, spent week in Cob
lenz as the guest of General Allen,
the American commander, attended
inspections, visited the barracks re-
viewed the troops and returned to
Berne to tell the officers Of the Swiss
army that the American army on the
Rhine was "the most up-to-date, the
best equipped and the best lookins
military outfit of all the armies OF
the world"
