Springfield, Mo., June 23.—Some- where in the wooded depths of the Ozark mountains, presumably in Shannon county, the four automobile bandits who Thursday blew the safe of the bank ‘of Waynesville, Mo., and escaped with $1,500 are hiding. Scouring the forests and hills in Shannon and adjacent counties is a posse of Waynesville and Mountain Grove officers. Tonight it was re- sported that no trace of the robbers had. been found. It was reported several hours after the robbery that two of the four men had been surrounded and captured in Wright county, near Mountain Grove. The pursuers were in sight of the fleeing safeblowers at that point, but the fugitives lost the officers in the mountainous country. The robbers were more than an hour blowing the safe, despite the fact the first charge aroused the citi- zens, Taking refuge behind trees and buildings they kept up a steady fire Flower Missions, Mrs. Deweese.

C., June 23.—A nation-wide drive of one week to re- cruit 70,000 men to bring the regular army up to its authorized war strength of 300,000 men, began to- day in accordance with President Wilson’s proclamation calling for volunteers. This is the first step in the war or- ganization of America’s army. Next is the task of completing the full strength of the National Guard; then comes the selection of men for the new National Army, from the mil- lions who registered June 5. The President calls upon unmar- ried men between the ages of 18 and 40 years who have no dependents, and who are not engaged in pursuits vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war. This means that those between the ages of 18 and 21, and 31 and 40, as well as the recent registrants, will be given an opportunity for immediate training and the prospect of early active service. The urgency of filling the ranks of the regular army is emphasized by army officers, who declare it will be necessary within the next six months to take many of the regulars as in- structors for the new selective army. It is planned to incorporate in the new regiments of the regular army portions of already established and training units as a framework to as- sure rapid development. The recruiting offices throughout the country will have the assistance of the press, the State Defense Coun- cils and patriotic societies in the ef- fort to bring 70,000 men to the colors within a week.
