PLYMOUTH BANK
BURGLARY NETS
I ROBBERS $2.15
Police Investigating Crime
Place Blame on Convicts
v
Escaped From Road
Gang.
J Beatrice, Neb., May 27 (Spe
cial) Five offices, including the
Rock Island station and the Far
mers State Bank of Plymouth were
entered Wednesday night 'by bur
glars, who got only $2.15 for their
night's labor. The loot was taken
from a small cash box in the bank.
t, Beatrice police who were called
in to assist .the Plymouth marshal
and Jefferson county sheriff are of
the opinion that the burglaries were
committed by the two convicts who
escaped from the state road sans:
near Tecumseh. Posses scoured the
tributory country in a search for the
two men.
, An effort to get into the main
vault of the bank where thousands
of dollars were stored failed. The
vault doors were badly battered,
but withstood the attack of the bur
glar who evidently had no explo
sives. Nothing of value was takyi
from the other offices. '

MRS. ALICE GRESHAM
DODD, mother of tha first
American soldier killed in
Franco, who gives entire credit
for recovery of her health to the
wall-known medicine, Tanlac.
CI Pfef )
- The following remarkable en
dorsement of Tanlac was given re
cantly by Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd
,-'.:. t the Gresham Memorial Home, Ga
vin Park, Evansville, Ind., which
home was presented to her by the
patriotic people of Indiana, as evi
dence of their appreciation of the
services rendered to his country by
her son, Corporal James B. Gres
ham, the first American soldier
killed in France. . Expressions of
aymnathy were received by1 Mrs.
Dodd from all parts of the United
States, and the newspapers of the
country carried the story of the
first 'war mother.' '
. The shock of her son's death re
sulted in- the serious breakdown of
'.Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone
will learn with interest and pleas
ure that she is now in splendid
health again. When seen at her
home recently she made the follow
ing statement, giving the entire
credit for her recovery to the well
known medicine, Tanlac.
"After my dear boy's death I had
s a general breakdown in health,"
taid Mrs. Dodd. "At first it was
just indigestion. My food used" to
upset me and I had to diet myself
very carefully, which wasn't much
hardship, as I lost all desire to eat.
Then I had an attack of rheumatism,
with severe pains in my shoulders,
back and arms. Sometimes I used
to suffer a great deal, and my joints
would get all swollen up and stiff.
I was able to do very little about
the house, and at times couldn't
even cook a meal. I got very nerv
ous and restless, and at night would
lay awake for hours, and lost many
a night's sleep as a consequence.
"A friend of mine had received
a great deal of help from Tanlac,
and it was she who advised me to
try it I am so glad I did, for it
' proved the best medicine I have
ever taken. It soon gave me a good
appetite and seemed to settle my
stomach so that I was no longer
troubled with indigestion. I don't
know what it is to have rheumatic
pains now, the swelling, and stiff-,
nees has all gone out of my joints
; and I am able to do the work f
tha house with the greatest ease.
Mv - nerves are now steady and
strong, sleep fine at night, and I
, feel better in health than ever be
fore in my life. I shall always be
mtefnl for what Tanlac has done
for me, and shall recommend it
very chance I get." '

not legally married, Max Harris and
Miss Esther Verbin of Fremont, re
turned to Nebraska last Friday and

formed the ceremony for them May
9. The flaw in the first marriage
was due to the fact that the license
had been taken out in Dodge coun

Douglas.

turn on the license to Fremont.
County Judse Wintersteen notified
him of the illegality of the marriage
because performed outside the coun

Rabbi Cohn then got in touch with
the young couple and the second
ceremony was performed at his
home last Friday, after the Doug
las county court had issued the
license.

CREDIT STRAIN
RELIEVED, SAYS
CHICAGO BANKER
Believes Peak of Stringency
Passed Accredits Improve
ment to Co-operation of
Bank Customers.
Chicago Trlbnnr-Omnhn lire Lowd Wire.
Chicago, III., May 28. A growing
attitude vof co-operation among
bankers, manufacturers and mer
chants throughout the country" is
lessening the strain on credit, ac
cording to James B. Forgan, chair
man of the board of the First Na
tional bank, Chicago, and a member
of the advisory council of the federal-reserve
board. Mr. Forgan re
turned yesterday from attendance at
the bankers' conference in Washing
ton last week and a subsequent
meeting with New York bankers.
"The feeling among the New York
bankers is that the credit strain has
passed the peak in the east, and I
believe it is passing here in the west.
The federal reserve board in consid
ering the reduction of bank loans
did not make any definite distinction
between essential aYid nonessential
loans, as it did not order or ask
bankers to reduce loans on any fixed
percentage basis.
Banks to Make Own Decisions,
"The bankers who attended the
conference agreed that credit infla
tion has not been reduced as is cus
tomary at this time qf year and that
there must be a reduction if the
additional need for credit for new
crop requirements is to be met. Oth
erwise a serious situation would be
confronted. It was agreed the banks
should decide for themselves how
o limit their loans, but that this
wm aepena considerably on tne sec
tion of the country. Itlmay well be
that loans cannot be reduced in the
agricultural districts.
"The banks must take care of their
customers. For example, the auto
mobile industry in Detroit must be
cared for. otherwise many people
would be thrown out of work and
the industry seriously crippled. But
loaning money to people who want
to buy cars is decidedly another mat
ter. Thus it is incumbent on the
banks, to exercise individual judg
ment in making loans. '
"The effect of a clear exposition
of the credit strain imposed' on the
bunks is noticeable in a more rea
sonable attitude on the part of cus
tomers. They now realize that they
must ask as little credit as possible
and must co-operate with, the banks
in relieving the present situation.
They realize there is a limit to fur
nishing credit beyond which the
banks cannot go, no matter how
good may be individual businesses
or how- much larger loans might be
justified in ordinary times.
"The effect of this frank explana
tion also has had a psychological ef
fect on the public. They have come
to understand that there is a limit
to even the great resources of the
federal reserve system and that
they, too. must co-operate by con
serving their resources and Jjmiting
their reeds.
Much Depends on Rail Situation.
"The "credit strain for the last
month has had the transportation
tieup as the greatest contributing
factor. The bankers asked the In
terstate Commerce commission to
hasten a return to the movement of
commodities. The commission has
started to remedy this situation, and
with the movement of commodities
to market and their sale, the- pro
ducer will get his money and pay
off his bank loans.
"Bankers from every part of the
country agreed' that if the railroad
congestion can be relieved in the
next four months the strain on cred
it will be greatly ameliorated and
the banks will be in fairly good po
sition to take care of the autumn
crop movement. Then we will have
passed the worst period of the pres
ent stringency."

NATIONALISTS OF

For Attempt to Crush
"Mere Savages." -
' i"
Angora, Asia Minor, May 27.
Unalterable opposition to the treaty
of peace the allies have submitted to
Turkey was expressed here today by
Mustapha Kcmal Pasha, leader of
Turkish nationalist forces.
"The allied powers, led by Great
Britain, condemned Turkey to
death," he declared, "and began to
apply their decision by the very di
rect material manifestation known to
the world. The Turkish nation nat
urally has declined to accept such a
sentence, Our caliph and sultan,
the Turkish Parliament and the Tur
kish government, the members of
which were legal representatives of
the Turkish nation, were unable to
resist such a verdict and fell into the
hands ofr the British by the sudden
occupation of Stamboul."
Assertions were made by Musta
pha Kemal that the British were at
tempting to discredit the Turks and
represent them as "mere savages
and fanatics." Hj asserted, how
ever, that the new nationalist gov
ernment here would use 'all its re
sources to "combat this campaign.
