Am- brose, recently of Camp Sherman, Chilicothe, Ohio, were in Wilmette this week on a brief visit with the * captain's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Ambrose, 1222 Central avenue. Captain Ambrose, who has been in charge of the Educational department of the Reconstruction hospital for wounded and disabled soldiers at the Ohio cantonmeant, has been trans- ferred to Fort Rilev, Kansas. where he will be assigned to the Depart- ment Base Hospital, continuing his educational work. He and Mrs. Ambrose left Wil- mette today and will visit relatives at Blue Rapids, Kansas, before pro- ceeding to Fort Riley. Captain Ambrose gained distinction in the Educational department of the army during the war. He was in charge of an important school at Camp Sherman throughout the war which had as its purpose the devel- opment of the mental side of the soldier along with his physical training. He is credited with intro- ducing practical systems of study for the men. a -----_ _-- B---------------- Robber Fires on State Bank Cashier; Is Felled By Police in Gun Duel Wilmette is no place for bandits and police are death on crooks. Re- sult. George Micke, alleged burglar, is communicating his misfortune to the black walls of his dingy cell in the Village lock-up. Peter Swanson, bank Encouragement. "What makes you so strong in boosting Bliggins as an art critic. He doesn't know anything about pie- tures." "That's why. He's more like- ly to pick out something that doesn't amount to much and so assist some struggling beginner." Ink on Oak. Ink stains get ingrained on the wood of an oak desk in a very short time, so remove them if possible when they are new. The best way to do it is by put- ting spirits of wine on the marks, then allowing it to remain for some time before rubbing off. William D. Leary, assistant cashier, had just taken his place at the win- dow in the front enclosure of the and pushed what at first glance ap- peared to be a genuine check on the Wilmette State Bank. Imagine Leary's surprise when he read the paper. "Pay to the Bearer all yout have." --signed, bearer." "Why this check isn't signed," half- queried Leary. "That don't make any difference," came the reply. "Well how: much do you want?" Leary questioned. "All that you answer, "But, I can't give it to you this morning," from Leary.-- Then a shot. Leary ducked out of sight. Em- ployes stampeded to the back rooms of the building. Leary arose and the bandit was gone. Leary rushed across the street to the Village Hall. Policeman, Sam Hoth was standing outside the build- ing. "A bank roPber ran up Twelfth street," shouted Leary. fi Hoth commandeered a taxi-cab sta- tioned nearby and whirled into Twelfth street at top speed. He saw a man turn west on Lake avenue, a block north. The car turned west in Lake ave- nue and bounded over the railroad tracks in hot pursuit of the fleeing man. have," was the banking room. Up stepped Swanson bandit, is dead, pierced through the heart with a police bullet. . The story of George Micke's capture on Monday night by Patrolman Henry Brautigam graces another column of the IL.ake Shore News and here is the account of how Swanson met his fate after a thrilling revolver dual with assistant chief of policz Sam Hoth. . Attempts Early Robbery Promptly at 8:10 o'clock this morning when commuters were passing hastily to the Chicago trains, a lone man entered the Wilmette State Bank at Twelfth street and Central avenua. just swung open for, the day's business. Officers and employes were making ready for the day of toil and an air of busy preparation pervaded the place. The big front door of the bank had At Seventeenth street and Walnut avenue the fugitive caught sight of his pursuers. The car gradually drew down upon him and he slackened his pace. - Hoth called a halt, he was answer- ed by a bullet whizzing by his left ear. Bernard Smith, the chauffeur, dropped to the floor of the machine at = Hoth's command. There were three swift and true shots and the bandit lay, bleeding, on the pave- ment. Before Hoth could get to his side the man placed his gun at his own chest and sent a fourth bullet near the heart. At the Evanston hospital the bandit gave the name of Peter Swanson, his address as Chicago, his age as 32 years. He was well dressed, smooth shaven and about five feet ten inches in height. He died at 12 o'clock. Miraculous Escape That Leary escaped with his life is declared nothing short of Miracu- lous. The bullet glanced off a slender steel bar on the cage window nearly snapping it in half. The bullet was later found in a pile of canceled checks a few feet away. Business was resumed in the bank within a half hour after the attempt- ed robbery. Reports were current about the Village today that special action would be taken by prominent citizens to grant appropriate rewards to both Hoth and Brautigam for their. display of bravery and highly creditable police work. League Figures Show War Costs In letters received from north shore residents from the Committee to En- force Peace, of which William How- ard Taft, is president, the following statements are made: "The war just closed called 56,000,- 000 men to arms, and cost 26,000,000 casualties, 11,000,000 men killed and $221,000,000,000 in treasure. Through- out four and a half years of horror the peoples were told that they were fighting a war to end war--that with peace would come a league of nations to guard the world against the repe- tition of such a catastrophe. In that hope the people fought the war through to victory. "Shall they now be denied the fruits of that victory? Shall the hopes of the world be defeated through partisan bitterness in the United States senate? "The League of Nations must come. The alternative is a crushing race of armaments, another war more de- struction than all former wars, and the suicide of civilization. "If you believe these things, help! Public opinion, especially in the states whose senators are opposed to the league, must be organized and trained on Washington. The cam- paign must go on until the senate vote on ratification is taken. "The stage is set, the destiny dis- closed. It has come about by no plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God, who led us into this war. We cannot turn back. Wa can only go forward, with lifted eyes and freshened spirit to follow the vision. It was of this that we dream- ed at our birth. America shall in truth show the way. The light streams upon the path ahead, and nowhere else." Early Days of Mail Carrying. Royal Mail vans, the driving of which is now intrusted to women chauffeurs, originated in the mail- coaches which were instituted in 1784 by Mr. John Palmer, M. P., for Bath, ané manager of the Bath theater. He had to overcome strenuous opposition before he could induce Mr. Pitt to su- persede Allen's system of postboys, whose contract rate of speed was five miles an hour.--London Times. Uncle Eben. "A whole lot of whut dey calls sports," said Uncle Eben, "consists in gittin' into a powerful fret over sump- in' dat dey wasn't no particular neces- sity fur."
