Approaching, one on each side of the car, the men thrust pistols against Odell's ribs. In the meantime Odell had suspected the purpose of the trio, so he dropped his bunch of keys on the floor. x “Start that engine and be quick about it,” commanded one of the bandits. “I can’t; the boss took the keys in the house with him,” lied Odell in answer. “You’re a liar, for T heard you drop ’em on the floor,” exclaimed the other bandit. “Step out of that car,” went on the outlaw in nervous tones. . Tn complying with the demand Odell managed to draw his pistol. “He’s got a gun!” yelled the man who stood on the left side of the Alcock machine as he began running around the front of the car. Odell leaped out of the car as the man on the right fired two shots at him. Both bullets missed their mArk. Odell’s alm was better and the bandit fell Into the street. The Other man was in flight toward the gray automobile. Odell fired at him two rimes as he leaped into the machine, which was under way by that time. The first deputy, hearing the noise of battle, rushed out of the house and sent two more shots after the speeding gray car. Odell ran after it, firing, for a block. Then, seeing that he was distanced, Odell ran* back to where the man lay dying. Alcock was bending over him. They rushed the bandit to the sanitarium.

We must reach an agreement with Bulgaria concerning Bulgarian outlets to the sea, and also must conclude with Serbia a lasting agreement. “Concerning Asia, we will hold out ..for restitution of Greek territory, and eventually we will succeed In arriving at such relations with Turkey as will put an. end to the massacres of Greeks In Asia Minor. \“I always have tried to establish friendly collaboration with Roumanla and Turkey, and still' maintain that our efforts should be united. ‘Turkey Must Observe Treaty." “But In order that this may be done; Turkey must accept the accomplished fact created by the Sevres treaty. “We shall keep to the letter of the treaties just signed.. It would be solely with the alm of insuring their execution that we would accept co-opera-tion with the little entente.’ Such co-operation, even then, would be conditional, on Greece not being dragged into any adventure.” Referring to the situation created by th4defeat In . the. elections of Premier Venizelos, Constantine is reported to have said: i “I can count on the sympathy of Italy. And England itself, if it desires, will find in me as faithful a collaborator as my former premier. Regarding France* when the whole truth is known she will find that I never wished to break with my father’s traditions.”

LOWER PRICES AID BUSINESS

Demand for Merchandise Shows Moderate Increase—Cotton Mills Curtail Production. New York, Nov. 22.— Dun’s Review of November 19, says: Certain changes for the better have appeared in business. ' The improvement is slight, and none at all Is visible in various quarters, but some of the ink dications are more favorable than in recent weeks. While immediate commercial revival Is not expected, sounder condition In the future are foreshadowed. Demand for seasonable goods has moderately Increased, and offerings of merchandise at lower prices seems to be meeting with a somewhat broader response. A decline in October building permits does not marie a new development but the decrease —<0.9 per cent Is larger than has been witnessed in recent months. Narrowing of the disproportion between the prices of Independent steel companies and those of the leading producer has continued. The demand nearly everywhere has receded. Signs of improvement in the leather trade have not been wholly lacking, and a better feeling has developed in the Rast from the fact that some large buyers have made inquiries. A little more activity has also appeared in the Wept. Development of a somewhat broader inquiry and demand for dry goods appeared this week, though price concessions are still necessary to stimulate buying. With curtailment of cotton production at mill centers Increasing steadily, less than 400.000 bales of raw cotton were consumed in this country last month. For the sixth consecutive week bank clearings disdose reductions from last year figures. this week’s total of $7,976,830,086 as reported to Dun Review being 12 per cent less than the corresponding period of 1919. The exhibit is again decidedly against this year, showing a loss of 17.0 per cent.

BELGIUM URGES LEAGUE ARMY

Envoy at Geneva Proposes International Military Force and Staff. GERMAMY REPUDIATES PACT Berlin Government No Linger Coneider* Itself Bound by Claus* of Versailles Treaty by Which Germany Loses Colonies. Geneva, Nov. 22.—An international military force, with an international staff, was pipposed to the assembly of the League of Nations by Senator Henri La Fontaine of the Belgian delegation. Senator La Fontaine had somewhat stirred the assembly by declaring the world was not yet ready for disarmament. — ■ ' “It is necessary to say frankly to the people,” he said, “that the time for disarmament has not yet come.” “Before the world could disarm,” he added, “entirely different ideas than those that prevailed before the war must be inculcated and applied.” He proposed that the armaments and armies be comprised in an international force, with an international staff, ready to be used “In the cause of right,” in such a case as arose from the present situation of Armenia. The first formal step toward the revision of the covenant of the League of Nations was taken by the assembly. The Dutch minister of foreign affairs, EL A. Van Karnabeek, Introduced a resolution for reconsideration of article 18, having to do with the registration of treaties. Germany Repudiate* Pact. The German government no longer considers itself bound by the clause of the Versailles treaty by which Germany surrenders her colonies to the allies, according to the official note of protest presented to the League of Nations. The note declares the allies have not fulfilled their undertakings regarding the danse of the treaty concerning the allotment of the German colonies and mandate. • It adds that, having signed the pact of the League of Nations, Germany understood she would be admitted to the league, and consequently take part in the allotment of mandates, but that now she ho longer considers herself bound by that danse of the treaty. Labor View Presented. Mandates, open diplomacy and the admission of former enemy states to the League of Nations furnished material for much discussion. For the first time the word “revision” was pronounced, and for the first time also the viewpoint of labor as regards the league was presented. The Views of labor were presented by George Nicoll Barnes of the British delegation, who was applauded when he declared that “a general peace is impossible until we have Industrial peace, and industrial v peace is impossible until labor gets Its full share of the product of its own effort.” For Admitting Former Enemies. - Twice again the admission of former enemy abates into the league was advocated. Labor was quoted by Mr. Barnes as in a large majority demanding it There now have been represented in the demands for the admission of the 'former enemy states South Africa, Great Britain, Switzerland, Argentina and Scandinavia. It still appears, however, that no one of, the delegations is ready to take the initiative in proposing the election es Germany to membership. Lord Robert Cecil of the British deb egation has said he will not do so, and Honorio Pueyrredon, head of the Argentine delegation, who has spoken strongly in favor of Germany coming in, declares he will not nominate her.
