Belief' that $100,000 in cash was in the mail car of Illinois Central train No. 3j held up near Paxton last night, and prompted the hold.up, was expressed by railroad men here today- The ban dits, however, missed the most valu able pounch In the cur, railroad offi cials atated, and it wa believed that it was this particular pouch whfch was sought. In the midst of the holdup, when the mail clerks were forced to throw pouches from the car, one of them threw out a sack of newspapers. "Where do you get that stuff," one of the bandits declared, "you know what pouch we want, throw it out here," The pouch believed to contain the fortune, was thrown out, earned a short distance from the train by the bandits and was for some reason drop ped and later recovered -by the train crew. While a posse of deputy sheriffs railroad agents and postal inspectors were scouring this section of the coun try, no trace of the bandits was re ported this morning.

S.-JFrank I.

'8. The final in- termin of stage dressing for the arma ment conference was ushered in today by developments which for the first time concentrated an the great diplo matic drama the alert attention of practically every element qf official Washington ' and jts distinguished guests, Even the senate took a hand m the last' minute preparations by adopting, with tacit acquiescence of Republican leaders, a resolution presented from the Democratic side of the chamber requesting that the doors of the con ference room be opened whenever the full body of delegates were in session, and that a record be kept of every thing that transp.red during the ne gotiations. Amqng those who will actually sit at the conference table? Admiral pa ron Kato, head of the Japanese dele gation and naval minister of the Jap anese government, made himself the center of attention by a public state ment asserting that his nation was willing In the interest of a successful conference to go the length of reduc- j ing her "eight-eight" naval building program if a satisfactory proportional agreement could be reached. Meantime Premier Briand, of France, confining his public expres sions to a general renewal of his na tion's willingness to meet everybody half way in the effort to reduce arma ments, 4aid a round qf official calls. Secretary Hughes, as head of the Washington, Nov. 7. Sergeant Samuel Woodfill, who is to be one of the pall bearers at the Armistice Day ceremonies, for tffe unknown heroes of the var, wrote for Universal Ser vice in his own way, the story of the incident of the Argonne battlefield when he killed nineteen Germans in two hours of fighting. For this ex ploit he was designated by General Pershing as the greatest of the great. His story follows: As a first lieutenant I was sent to the Sixtieth U. S. infantry of the Fifth division late in 1917. My regi ment embarked at Hoboken and sailed on the transport Philadelphia April 16, 1918. .While in active training at Hadol Basse and Hadpl Haute, during which we did, princi pally patrolling. I met with a severe accident which sent me to the hos pital. "On August 22, 1918, the regi ment was , relieved in Alsace and started marching to the St. Mihiel sector. Our mission here having been completed under Major Lee D. Davis, we proceeded to Blercourt in the Argonne by truck, arriving there October 4, In the Argonne while advancing enemy machine gunners and artill ery concentrated a heavy fire on us. Some dropped into shell holes, was forced to take cover In a dummy trench, not deep enough to hide the pack of my back. Tliey kept up a heavy string of fire, knocking dirt and rock over me and puncturing my raincoat. Fritz had me guessing. "I wrote a farewell note on the back of a little photo of a dear loved one, my wife. I did not ex pect to survive. However the ene my, being pushed by Yank troops, suddenly ceased firing. This was while relieving the 319th infantry. The relief was completed. At day break October 12, we were ordered over the top for combat and reconn'oissance. A" terriffle bat rage forced us to dig in for shel- er. The enemy was heavily en trenched and shrouded, I saw the necessity for quick action and sig naling several men to follow me, I crept by deturing on a gun position I could see. I slid my rifle forward raised on my elbows and killed flv) gunners in the pit. One enemy runner attempted a retreat. I killed him with my pistol. I dashed to cover of brush and ran into an officer in hiding. He at tempted to disarm me. I killed him with my automatic. There was continuous Bring by this time, The enemy had been seeping through and was sweeping the Woods with Are, Having lost control of my company in the dense wilderness I continued to advance by taking cover. "I located another machine gun after a short distance. Crawling to a bank position I sniped (killed) five of the crew and silenced the gun. I got" closer to it and encountered three Germans carrying ammunition to the gun I had just silenced. We saw qach other at this same time They yelled.: Ramcrad" and dropped. their equipment. 1 captured them and sent them to the rear, I had gone but a short distance further when I encountered a third machine gun and using the same methods I had before applied I worked my way to a flank and killed five of the gun nets as they took their places at the gun. Heavy overhead nre loreed me to jump into an emetny trench for cover. "As I dashed into it I nearly jumped 6h two Germans crouching there. One of them reached for his lugger. I fired first, Be doubled up. wThe second was reacJltng for his rifle and 1 squeesed my trigger but my automatic failed to go off.
