Chicago Thieves Reap
Harvest; Holdups Many
During Christmas Eve
Chicago. Ill Dec. 25. Christmas eve
holdups spent a fast and furious 48
hours previous to the dawning of
Christmas day. Four boys well dressed
and apparently not over 17 years old
each executed nearly 20 robberies and
obtained more than $1000 besides
watches rings stickpins and overcoats.
They used a small car and covered a
wide range of territory.
Three armed robbers held up William
Rucker and searched him without find-
ing any money. Then they took the
Christmas turkey he was carrying
home and sold it to a pedestrian for 3.
Then they took the turkey away from
the pedestrian again.
Three other armed men showed a
flash of Christmas spirit after they
held np Dr. Benjamin Augustus.
"Leave me something for carfare."
he said. "I'm on a sick calL"
"Sure." one of the robbers replied.
"here's half a dollar. Merry Christ-
I mas."
The same band held up Henry Lynch
getting $13. and later Robert McCous-
i tin reported being robbed of $S by men
: who were apparently the same trio.

It has been realized from the be-

tente for the publication of the central

ing of Germany and her allies in the
unfavorable tactical position of show-

A decision however apparently has

that Germany may be willing to place j
a statement of her terms In the hands
of a third party if her opponents are
willing to do the same can only be
given as that ot individuals although
