ESCAPE BANK H0L0UP
IN APRIL AND MAY

Indiana was one of eighteen
states in the entire country which
went through the months of April
and May without a bank robbery,
it was revealed today in survey
of such crimes made public by Don
E. Warrick, editor of the Hoosier
Banker.
Mr.. Warrick, whose offices are

that the state was without bank
robbery from Feb. 10 until June
Is. The Ladoga State bank was
held up June Is. He attributed
this good record to the work of
the state police and commended

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
JAPAN, FRANCE
STIR ACTION IN
naval FARLEY
informal Conversations to
Be Scene of Demands by
Two Nations.
By United Press

By Dntted Press
LONDON, June 26.-PreSent naval
conversations. carefully planned as
informal and preliminary, seemed
certain today to go on record as the
implanted 1884 naval conference.
To the confusion caused by the
presentation OF an informal Brit
ism big navy program, there was
added today the news that Japan
and France will make the converse
lions the occasion for presentation
of demands of their own.
A United Press Toxic dispatch
said the japanese government, APP
parently anxious over the way
things were gong, would rush to
London a delegation of sufficient
strength to deal with substantial"
subjects.
Sources which usually reflect the
French admiralty view told the
United Press in Paris that France
within the next few days will make
big navy demands that will rouse
both Italy and Germany.
1t was added that the demands
might be regarded as SO large that
Japan would protest on the ground
that her ratio as compared with
France and Italy would be endan-
gered.
British and American experts
were preparing to resume their con-
verSationS here.
What was described as the
shock" with which Americas dele
gates received the outline of Brit
aims naval needs was somewhat re-
lieved by Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald, who intimated the
needs would arise only in the event
the present naval treaties were not
renewed.
The way was left open for the
United States to suggest revised
program, based on the possibility
that the 1885 naval conference
would succeed.
The news that Japan intended to
send a strong delegation to London
seemed to reflect concern over the
British demands.
IL dIlCC P1dIl W NCLlo4AO lllOlC
ships was reflection of its anxiety
over the possibility of German re-
armament and desire to protect
both it's Atlantic and Mediterranean
coasts.
1t was limited that France would
demand as much naval tonnage as
Italy and Germany had combined.
Italy has shown no sign that it
will accept a lower ratio than
France, as France demands. Ger
many is yet to be heard from, but
has announced that it insists on
being included in any naval con-
ference with the understanding that
the sharp limitations imposed by
the Versailles treaty shall be al
tered.
