There are mountains in your soul.
Arise, dullardsi
Sinking at your daily task,
Blind to all the world can offer.
In the sunlights you would bask;
Beware the toll.
There are mountains in your soul,
To arms, faithlessi
Pull yourself together, man,
See beyond your low horizon.
Get some steam up-sure you can;
Use grit for coal.
There are mountains in your soul,
Be quick, fellow!
Start a-climbing up your hill,
Reach for heights of things accom-
plished,
Push ahead and fight until
You reach your goal.

CHINA APPOINT
anew PREMIER

Peking, Dec. 19.-General Chang
Shao- Shao-Tseng, the military
leader, has been appointed premier
with the approval Of parliament.
His selection, which was support
ed by General Tsao-Kun, is be-
lieved to indicate the intention Of
the military party to resume con-
troll of China.
The Chinese newspapers pub
lished reports that President Ii
Yuan Hung will soon retire and
that General Tsao-Kun will take
his place. Another report says
that Tsao-Kun, with the backing of
General Chang Tso-Lin, is prepar-
ing hostilities against General WI
Pei Flu for early spring with the
purpose Of placing the pending
government completely In the
hands Of the militarists.
The appointment Of Chang Shoa-
Tseng to the premiership is de-
clared to be q concerted move OF
the militarists to regain control. 1t
is said that with the support of the
military group in 16 provinces.
Tsao-Kun induced President Ii
Yuan Hung to nominate the new
premier and that parliament voted
almost unanimously in his favor.
This is taken to indicate that par

Denver, Colo, Dec. 1s.-Eighteen
hours of searching by federal. coun-
ty and city officials, and question
ing of 16 persons at police head
quarters had failed today to re-
veal any trace of the identity Of the
bandits who yesterday robbed a
federal reserve bank truck Of $780,
600 after a gun battle in the Unit
ed States mint here in which
Charles T. Linton, one Of the truck
guards, was fatally wounded.
The truck, accompanied by J. E.
Olsen, cashier Of the local federal
reserve bank, who was in charge of
the party, Guards Linton and J.
Adams, ana Chauffeur William
Havener, had called at the mint to
transfer the 100000, all in S. bills,
from the mini. vaults to the bank.
The mint guards had taken part of
the money to the curbing, turned
it over to the bank employees and
returned inside the mint building
when the bandits drove up and
stopped their car behind the truck.
Return Fire.
The bandits at once opened fire
on the main door of the mint and
one of them shot Linton in the
stomach. Linton died two and one
half hours later without regaining
consciousness.
Employees of the mint, all Of
whom have guns near their posts
Of duty, seized their weapons and
rushed to the doors and windows,
but were handicapped in returning
the bandits fire because the bank
employees were between them. and
the robbers.
While the gun battle ragged. one
of the robbers put the money in
their car and as soon as this work
was completed they drove OF.
During the fight, one bandit
stood on the running board to fire
a final volley at the mint guards. A
bullet from one of the guards guns
apparently hit him for he crumpled
up and was dragged inside the car,
which continued on its way.
Robbers Going to Chicagoa
Chicago, Dec. 19.-Working on
the belief that the bandits who OBJ
tanned 100000 in currency in a
daring robbery at the Denver mint
yesterday might be headed toward
Chicago, federal agents today were
ordered posted along highways en-
tering the city. Federal authori-
ties said that they received a tip
from q woman that the robbers
might attempt to lose themselves in
this city. All overland trains also
will be searched, they said.
According to information they
said they had received, the officials
added that the bandits were ex-
pected to come within 100 miles Of
Chicago by train and attempt an
automobile dash to the remainder
of the distance.
