 When the burglar alarm sounded the robbers forced Irwin to accom- pany them to the door of the bank. Windows in many stores along the downtown section were riddled by the bullet barragc laid down by the robbers.
 Officials of the bank said they had feared robbery and posted armed guards, but the bandits dis armed the guards and made them lie down with other employees.

Write New Treaty

London, April II P)-Delcgatons to the five power naval conference were engaged today in writing the finale to their 12 weeks of labor to produce a treaty limiting the navies of the world sea powers.
 The treaty will involve limitation on the part of only three powers Japan, Great Britain, and the United States, but it will have a chapter containing such supplementary fca- lures as are agreeable also to France and Italy, and will provide for the future inclusion of their own bilateral limitation agreement when, and if. that is ever reached
 Although there was almost no editorial comment this morning. the London morning papers. sometimes given to editorial expression in their news stories and headlines, hailed the three-powcr limitation agree ment and a possible five power agreement on battleship holiday as a real step in the direction of disarmament.

Great Brit ain and Japan. "The differences in the naval requirements Of France and Italy have proved intricate and have not, so far, been resolved" he added
 Mr. Macdonald said q white paper would be publishod covering the work accomplished, and he con cluded:
 At meeting this evening be- tween the French, Italians, and United Kingdom delegations it was decided that as such substantial agreement had been reached 1t was unnecessary to keep the full body Of delegates sitting at London pend ing settlement of difficulties which primarily concern these three dele. gations only
 So we shall propose aI a plcn. ary sessions carly next week that the agreement now reached Sh8ll l., signed and the conference adjourn. ed on the understanding tha France, Italy and ourselves shal continue efforts 10 come 10 al agreement in unison with tha which has been reached by the United States, Japan and ourselves.

There was varied reaction in the commons to the announcement Stanley Baldwin. leader of the con- servativcs, refraining from praise, asked MT. Macdonald when the three power agreement or pact or treaty, or whatever name you like to give il" would become effective and by what legal processes. The prime minister answered that he was not familiar with Japanese constitutional requirements, but that it would have to face the American senate, and this, I suppose, will be
 done as speedily as possible He 1 promised the commons ample op- portunity "of expressing it's views.' Liberals Cheer Statement The rank and file of the govern
 ment party, and the Liberals cheer
 ed the announcement, and Sir Her
 bert Samuel, speaking in the ab- 1 scnca of David Lloyd George, said: All of us have been most kcenly dcsirous of the success of this con- l ference. We congratulate the prime
 minister on the measure of success
 he has achieved. We regret that | circumstances have not made it
 possible 10 render that success more complete
 As envisaged here today tho treaty will contain three parts, | Chapter one would contain the
 points on which all five powers arc | in agreement, such as humanization
 of submarines. submarine size linn l itation, and, possibly, the idea of a 1 battleship holiday.
 Chapter two will include the three i power agreement covering all cate gories Of ships as reached by Japan,
 America. and Great Britain. Chap
 ter three will declare the intention
 of France and Italy and Great Brit ain 10 compose their differences and
 work them into the treaty to conl-
 plete it at some future time.
 There probably will be one all important clause, to the effect that either Of the three nations signatory
 to the limitation treaty, if mcnaced
 by the building programs of na-
 tion or nations not signatory, may
 alter it's own program accordingly. Proportional increases by the re-
 maining two powers then would be in order

Arouse Some Comment

For the moment at least disChs- sion of a security formula guaran- tceing France against attack has been dropped by the British, and, with il, the suggestion of three weeks ago that the United States
 might enter q consultative pact. ! Both ideas aroused considerabl
 inimical comment among the home
 folk of Britain and the United 1 States.
 The naval delegations themselves
 may not sign the treaty as evolved
 here. An effort will be made to get as much work done as possible i prior to the Easter holiday, and the ! Americans may be able to keep i their reservations on the Lcviathan,
 which leaves for New York April
 22. Ambassadors of the four visit ling powers, remaining here, prob
 ably will sign the treaty and con
 clude the business of the confer cnce.
 A plenary session will be held
 probably next Tuesday, at which the final formal statements of the conference will be made.

Program to Be Cut

Washington, April II P>-Curtail- mcnt of the biG-cruiser building program already approved by con- gross was foreseen today as the principal source of any opposition to the London naval agreement in the senate.
 The accord reached at the Brit ish capital was interpreted as mean ing that of the 23 vessels of this Itype authorized, five would not be
 built Tho big navy group of the senate has insisted that all 23 are essential to an adequate national defense
 With the approval of two-thirds of the senate necessary to ratifiCa- tion of tho treaty, the capital today was watching that branch of con- gross for indications of it's reaction. Members of the big navy group however. declined to comment un- til they could give the London agreement more study and until more details of the accord arc available.

Medicine

Miss T.. Hanback,

Herb Juice), has been on sale by
the Peoples Drug Stores. During
this time special representative

cine to the hundreds that call
each week. Thousands have mar

overComeS ailments of long stand
ing and like Miss Hanback,, who
resides at 1882 G st. 8. E., say
that such a remedy cannot be
praised too highly. Miss Han
back said: For a couple of years
I suffered with rheumatism and
medicine I used helped very little.
My joints would be swollen at
times and the pain was so severe
could hardly stand 1t; then I
was troubled a great deal with
my stomach, everything I ate
caused gas to form, the lower
part of my stomach felt sore, I
felt nervous and was continually
taking a laxative. I have now
used six bottles of Miller's Herb
Extract and as I have often re-
marked I cannot praise it too
highly. First of all it relieved
me of the rheumatic pains and
that alone was worth all it cost,
to say nothing of the other ways
1t helped me. I am now able to
eat anything I want, no sign of
gas or indigestion. in fact every
ache and pain is gone and I feel
better in every way than I have
for years. 1 can also recommend
this medicine as being the ideal
laxative and very good regulator
for the entire system" See the
