Marlon, Ark—Two masked bandits
held up Frisco passenger train No.
SOI, 8t. Louis to Memphis, about two
miles west of Bridge Junction and es
caped with two packages containing
about $0,000 in currency taken from
the express car.
When the engineer warned the rob-
bers he was due to pass Frisco train
No. 108 at the Junction, they told him
M>ey had sent a man ahead to flag
that train to prevent a wreck.
The bandits, the engine crew assert-
ed. climbed over the tender and forced
the engineer to give up Ills throttle.
Bringing the train to a stop, it Is re-
related, they uncoupled the train be-
hind the mail and express car and ran
them ahead about a half mile.
Again stopping the engine, they con-
fronted the express messenger, de-
manding that he surrender the money.
He told them there was none In the
car, but they informed him they knew
he had taken on packages of cur-
rency at Blytheville and Wilson and
forced him to give them up. The rob-
bers then left the train, and the crew
brought It back to Marion.
No trace of the bandits had been
found at a late hour, according to re-
ports received here.

This is the Infbrmation brought to
Oklahoma City by Tom Wade of Mari

man from Oklahoma, who recently re-
turned from a session of the commit-
tee in Washington.
Wade and John Doolan of Alva, who

Paris.—'The American peace dele-
gation, has definitely agreed upon the
amendment it will offer to Article X
of the covenant of the league of na-
tions to safeguard the Monroe Doc
trine.
The amendment provides that
agreements under the covenant shall
not be construed as an Infringement
upon the principles of International
policies heretofore generality recog-
nized.
During a three-hour Session the
league of nations commission, consid
ering the proposed amendments to
the iovenant, disposed tentatively of
the first sixteen sections, agreeing up-
on a number of changes in form
which the members of the commis-
sion believe will meet more than 50
per cent of the objections offered by
Senator Lodge and other American
Senators.
President Wilson was in attendance
at the session at which suggestions
from neutral nations aa well as be-
ligerents were dscussed.
The Japanese amendment to secure
the equality of nations belonging to
the league, was not considered and
no action was taken on the creation
of an International military staff.
LIFE FOR NEGRO RIOTER
Many Cases of Infection Proved to Be
Due to This Habit, Altogether
Too Common.
"When I became a man I put away
childish things.”
Not always, and hence the aphorism,
“Men are but children of a larger
growth.”
One of the first nets of volition Is
when the child puts Its hands, or any-
thing it can get hold of, to Its mouth.
In spite of reason, this Instinct con-
tinues strong through life. If saliva
were a bright green color we would be
kept busy washing our hands. Most
bacterial diseases are now believed to
be contracted through the mouth, with
food or otherwise. As a matter of
fact most of us carry our fingers to
our mouth or nose many times a day
and in so doing transmit to ourselves
diseases that others have spread about.
Beginning with instinct It has become
a habit. Further comment seems su-
perfluous.—George H. Glover, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Col-
orado.
That's Right, Too.
Bill, the family hlgh-school young-
ster, was just recovering from the in-
fluenza. So was his father. And while
Bill had suffered and groaned he had
noticed that father had done likewise.
One day when he felt sufficiently im-
proved to make comments he said to
father: “There’s one good tiling about
the ‘flu’—isn’t there, dad? It makes
you so sick that you’re not afraid to
die.” „
Discreditable Association.
"Why should the bolshevists have se-
lected red for their emblem?”
“I don't know,” replied the artist.
"It’s a libel on a mighty attractive and
valuable color.”

NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID
Colonel Roosevelt’e Answer to Envoy
of German Kaiser Seemed to Cover
the Ground Thoroughly.
Not until after Colonel Roosevelt's
death has It been brought to light that
early In the war the kaiser deliberate-
ly tried to persuade Roosevelt that
etiquette demanded that Roosevelt
cease his opposition to Germany. In
September, 1914, the kaiser sent a spe-
cial envoy to Oyster Bay to wait upon
Colonel Roosevelt. The colonel re-
ceived him formally in the trophy
room. The envoy clicked his heels and
bowed and said:
“Mr. Roosevelt, his majesty the Ger-
man emperor sends you his cordial
greetings and asks me to tell you that
he remembers your visit to Berlin with
the greatest pleasure and trusts that
the cordial reception which you re-
ceived there will always remain fresh
In your memory as It does in his.”
Roosevelt did not click his heels to-
gether, but he did click his teeth In a
way that he had when he was about
to utter something which was Intend-
ed to end discussion.
“Tell his majesty from me that I
thank him for his cordial message and
that I remember my visit to Berlin
with the greatest pleasure, precisely
with the same pleasure that I remem-
ber a similar visit which I paid at the
same time to the king and queen of the
Belgians."
The German envoy clicked his heels,
bowed and left the room without an-
other word.—Exchange.
Cave Culture.
The Professor of Anthropology—The
Intelligence of the cave man was but
little above that of the lower animals.
The Sophomore—Then where did
they, get all those scientific names for
their animals, like plesiosaurus, and
such ?

Chicago.—Mors than a million mem-
bers of the Modern Woodmen of Am-
erica experienced an Increase In their
rates to meet the abnormal death los-
ses resulting from the Influenza epi
demic which caused a reduction In
the beneficiary fundi of the order from
$12,000,000 to $700,000.
On the present membership the in
crease is a flat advance of 50 percent
and all new members Joining hereafter
will have to pay materially Increased
rates.
Even this Increase is said to be not
a strictly adequate rate but it was as
far as the membership could be in-
duced to go at this time. For several
years, it is said, the deaths have av-
eraged more than the assessments, as
the organization operated under very
low rates. Since last October, the
deaths have averaged $2,000,000 a
month more than receipts.
Britain to Deport 100 Bolshevists.
London—In pursuance of the gov-
ernment’s policy to deport all known
Russian bolshevikl from Great Britain,
i batch of about 100 of the most no-
torious of these persons are to be
shipped about mid-April to Odessa,
says the Daily Mall. If, In the mean-
time, Odessa Is captured by the bol-
jhevlkl, the newspaper continues, the
fleported persons will be landed on the
beach under the guns of the British

St. Louis.—Leroy N. Bundy, East
St. Louis negro dentist, was found
guilty and sentenced to life imprison-;
ment in the circuit court at Waterloo,
111., on a charge of conspiring to mur-'
der In connection with the killing of
two detectives in a riot in East St.
Louis the night of July 1, 1917.
The murders led to the riots the
following day, in which a number of
negroes were killed. Ten negroes
previously have been found guilty,
and are now serving terms in the
penitentiary. Bundy went to Ohioj
and because he resisted extradition;
he was not tried with the others.
His case was continued a number of
times.
