Tha robbery and murders took place
between 7:30 and 8 o'clock last night.
Shortly after. 8 o'clock a regimental
tentrv natrolllng near the bank heard
, (roam from within. He entered and
saw che bodies lying on the floor. He
notified tha military police and Captain
J. C. Small wood, "acting provost officer,
went to the bank with a squad of men.
A cordon waa thrown about the camp

RENEWAL of the Kusso-Cier-man
armistice for another
month is announced 'today from
I'etrogrnd. At the same time,
Brest-Litovsk dispatches, coming
by way of Amsterdam, report
that Trotsky has receded from
his demand that the negotiations
between the Holsheviki and the
Central Powers be transferred to
neutral soil. The leason ifiven
for this change of front is that
the Holsheviki arc anxious not to
fjive the Germans nny pretext' foi
uroakinK off negotiations.
Dispatches from Copenhagen
declare that the German envoys
at Brost-Litovsk will now present
separate peace terms picpared
along "militaiistic liiu ." If this
is true, it would indicate that the
Pan-Get mans feel themselves
strong enough to go ahead with
their program w ithout i egard for
the attitude of the Liberal elc
ments.
Washington expects a icpiy
fiom Germnny to the terms
enunciated by President Wilson
and Lloyd George within n month
at the outside.
In Home it is intimated that
thesPope has called the Austiian
Empcroi's attention to the Wilson
speech and has urged him to in
