declared Americas attitude after the World War was “deeply ignoble,

affairs, have made “waste paper of the treaty of Versailles." The former

Lawton, Ok., Nov. 10.—J. W. Ba-
er, station agent of the St. Louis-
San Francisco railroad at Elgin, 15
miles north of here, was wounded late
today in an exchange of shots with
three bank robbers, following the
looting of the bank of Elgin. Ths
robbers escaped with several sacks of
silver and an undetermined amount
of currency, with a posse of citizens
st their heels.
The robbers had obtained all the
money in sight and were placing of-
ficials of the bank and customers in
the vault, intending to lock them up to
cover their retreat, when another
customer entered. He was command-
oed to join the others in the vault, but
ran from the building, giving the
alarm. The bandits’ motor car was
parked three blocks away and before
they reached it the town had been
aroused. Speeding out of the bumi-
neps distriet, they encountered Bak-
er who had been hunting. Baker open-
ed fire and is believed to have wound-
ed one of the robbers in the head. All
three returned the fire and Baker was
struck in the knee.
Citizens organised a posse and took
up the chase, with the bandits less
than a mile in the lead.
