Banton already has the confes-
sions Of Anthony Paladino and Leon
Kramer, members of the gang.
Paladino disclosed, according to the
authorities, how the Whittemore
gang worked with the smoothness
of well-coached football team.
Every robbery was rehearsed In
advance, and each man was coached
In the part he was to play.
Paladino named two fences, who
bought the proceeds of most Of
the robberies. These men are being
hunted, and, IL captured, will face
long prison terms.
As far as the bandits themselves
are concerned, Banton said he has
plenty Of evidence to convict them
all.
Whittemore will be turned over to
Maryland officials soon, it is be-

aged prison guard.
Whittemore also has been identi-
fled as one Of the bandits who took
part in the killing OF two bank
guards in q hold-up at Buffalo.

INDICTMENT
OF WAR

n ecATHING indictment Of
81 war vas set down by the
young American flyer in his war
diary which is now running in
Liberty. Just before his own
death at the front. when his com
rades were being killed off like
flies. he recorded:
"War il . horrible thing, q
grotesque comedy. And it. is so
useless4 This war won't prove
anything. All we1l do when we
win is TO substitute one sort of
dictator for another. In the mean
time, we have destroyed our best
resources. Human life, the most
precious thing in the world, has
become the cheapest. After we've
won this war by drowning the
Hun in our own blood. in five
years time the sentimental fools
at home will be taking up a col
lection for these same Huns that
are killing us now. and our fool
politicians will be cooking up an.
other good war.
why shouldn't they?" the
diarist bitterly asked. They have
to keep the public stirred up to
keep their jobs, and they don't
have to fight, and they can get
soft berths for their sons and
their friends sons. To me the
most contemplate cur in the
world is the man who lets politi-
cal influence be used to keep him
away from the front. For he lets
another man die in his place.
THE worst thing about this
war is that it takes the best. If
It lasts long enough the world
will be populated by towards and
weaklings and their children.
And the whole thing Is so use
less. so unnecessary, so terrible.
Even those that live through it
will never be fit for anything
else"
