Tho lad believed he had learned the rea

Ho went to his friend. Willie Haas,
of this city, also 17 years old, and told
hlm all about It. The explanation was
so simple that Willie readily fell In with
Frank's plans.
Frank, tho motion-picture operator, had
his kit of tools with him. He took out
a long chisel, used it as he had seen
burglars In, the movies using a jimmy
and pried open the front door. Silently
the two lads crept Into the cafe at
Clementon Park, 15 nilles from Camden.
Frank went to work on the cash drawer
with a chisel.
One thing the pantomime of the motion
pictures had not taught the boy, and that
was to muffle the steel with which he
worked. His chisel came In sharp con
tact several times with the metal cash
drawer, and the noise awoke the pro
prietor. The latter produced a revolver
and the burglary was suddenly halted by
shots whizzing over the heads of the
youthful Intruders.
Neither boy knew much about tb town
at that time. They fled precipitately and
without system. After running a few
blocks they ran into the arms of a wily
bfueeoat and were locked up. Today they
appeared before Judge Boyle, and Smith.

JAPAN SENDING TROOPS TO CHINA
Following Is nn extract fiom a private letter icceive-J by a Phlladnlphtan from
n correspondent In Japan who has had opportunity to glean reliable Information on
the Chino-Japanese situation:
"Tlicso'nie xerj uuccitaln times, and most people arc picdlctlug war between
Japan and China. At any late, the situation between Japan nnd China la very
ticklish Just at piesent and troops are being sent on tlie i. t. to China as fnst ns
they can be. Perhaps that Is Just a move to intimidate the Chinese, but It may be
something more serious. I.ven In the event of war between the two countries It
vvould not necessarily affect the foreigners out hero unless, as Is likewise predicted,
Ametica should iiIko be drawn in. In that case It would be well for all Americana
to get out as quickly ns possible and not have the experience of the Geimans, who
are being deported giadually but surely fiom this country."
