Riding in a large motor car with part of the money for the week's Sheahan, paymaster of the company, was within half a block of the plant when a smaller car drove alongside and four men jumped out, demand ing surrender of the money. Within two minutes after the bandit car drew alongside the pay car, the former was racing away with the five cash bags. So far as can be learned not a single shot was fired by any of the guards in the pay car, nor those in a car following. The o-uards in the car behind did not realize what was going on, but seeing Cooper run out from the curb and engage one of the bandits, they stopped their car and ran forward. They were halted by the other bandits, who swung upon them with a rifle and pistols. Four shots were fired at the guards who hastily retreated ninjured. ACT QUICKLY.

Under the merciless concen tration of shellfire, the Austra lians are holding on to their gains today after their advance last nig-ht on a front of two miles. The Germans already have de livered three powerful counter attacks to retake the lost ground and all have failed. In one of the counter attacks the Germans came forward hold ing up their hands. Behind them the British guns had placed cur1 tains of shellfire through which it was impossible for them to re treat while the Australians ma chine guns and rifles, mowing them down made it hopeless to continue thecharge.
