The other man then se lected the best watches and diamonds from the trays in the safe and put them in a small grip he carried, says the prisoner. The robber with the gun. says Depp, kept him covered until th other robber was safely outside.

DEAD ARE BURIED 1M LAYERS OH GROUND Trenches 150 Yards Long Are .Graves of Those Who Fell in Battle of Marne. MEN MEET HAND TO HAND Place Often Taken and Retaken as Fortunes or War Change Ger- . mans Magnificently Equipped With War Material. LONDON, Sept. 19. The Times corre spondent, telegraphing from Sezanne, In the Department of Marne. 25 miles south of Spernaj-, says some idea of the great slaughter in the battle of the Marne may be gained from the fact that some of the burial trenches are 150 yards long, the dead being laid shoulder to shoulder and often in layers. He continues: "The peasants, who re rapidly com ing back to the scene, are marking the grave trenches with crosses and planting flowers above or placing on them simple bouquets of dahlias, sun flowers and roses. Beautiful Chateau Battle Center. "Some of the hottest fighting of the battle took place around the beautiful old chateau of Mondement. on a hill six miles east of Sezcnne This relic of the architectural art of Louis XIV occupied a position which both sides regarded as strategically important. To the east it looked down into a great declivity, with the concealed marshes of Saint Sond at the bottom. Beyond are the downs and he:'..:s of Epernay, Rheims and Champagne, while i - heights of. Arvonne stand out boldly in the distance. To the west is a rich agricultural country. "The possession of the ridge of Mondement was vital to either the at tackers or the defenders. The conflict here was of furnace Intensity for four days. The Germans drove the French out in a terrific assault and then the French guns were brought to bear, followed by hand-to-hand fighting on the gardens and lawns of the chateau, and even through the breached walls. (Germans Mamif lccntly Equipped. "The French agriiin held the building for a few hours, "only to retire before another German attack. On the fourth day they swept the Germans out again with shell fire, under which the walls of the chateau, although two or three feet thick, crumpled like paper." The correspondent describes evidence on the battlefields of how magnifi cently the Germans are equipped In the manner of ammunition and war material. He saw pyramid after pyra mid of shrapnel shells abandoned in the rout: likewise innumerable paniers for carrying such ammunition. These paniers are carefully constructed of wicker and hold three shells in exactly fitting tubes so that there can be no movement. The villages of Oyes, Villanueve, Chatillon and Soissy aux Bois were all bombarded and completely destroyed. Some fantastic capers were played by the shells, such as blowing away half a house and leaving the other half in tact: going through a window and out by the back wall without damaging the interior, or going a few inches into the wall and remaining fast without exploding. Villanueve, retaken three times, is in absolute ruin, including its fine, old church.. BANKS REPORT INCREASE Astoria Figures Show Activities' In Lower River Iistrk't. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 19.

Embassy Cttea Letter A skins; News of Cavalry Lieutenant Wounded Auarust 2 on French Soil, WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. The French Embassy tonight Issued the following statement: "In an interview attributed to the German Ambassador the statement is once more repeated that Germany was attacked and that she conducts (on her neighbor's territory) a defensive war. We have said all along,' the Interview reads, 'that they, brought about the war by attacking us.' "The Ambassador does not say whether the attack was Initiated by Belgium, on whom his country declared war to punish her for her 'folly' in ob serving treaties, or by France or Rus sia, on whom war also was declared by Germany. "The fact Is that when France de cided to mobilize, eight German array corps had been moved to the frontier while France had only five. To ore- vent any incident, so long as there was the slightest hope of peace, French troops were kept 10 kilometers dis tant from the frontier and all the early skirmishes took place on French ground. 'Germany's haste was such that she did not even wait for the declaration of war. The following letter addressed by the German Consul at Basle to the French one shows that on August 2 that is, the day before Germany her self declared war the Germans had crossed the frontier and an appeal was made to us for news "of an officer who had been wounded on French terri tory.' Translated word for word, the letter reads:- ' 'Kaiserlich Deutsche Konsulat. Basle, August 4, 1914. The relations between Gremany and France being nterrupted for the present, I appeal to your generosity at the request of the commander of the cavalry regiment No. 5 at Mulhausen to have news of the condition of Lieutenant Mayer, wounded day before yesterday near Delle, on French territory.

Rupture To successfully co-operate with Nature in the work of healing, the supporting device must be m constructed that the rupture retaining part oer laps and draws together the breached opening in stead of pressing directly into it. The trusses of today are sadly larking in this quality. They nearly all give that direct pressure into the opening, whirh can not help but enlarge it. making it that much harder to retain the bowel later on. resulting in uncontrollable rupture with serious complications. The Schuiling Rupturo Lock was invented to overcome just such faults. It is made to com ply with Nature's laws and reach the objective point by the safest and shot trot possible route.
