Bank officials said one of the bandits handled "his" pistol with' feminine grace and showed nervousness during the whole hold-up affair. Charles Tovee, Chico police chief, believes the -nervous bandit is a Stockton girl who has been living on the edge of the law for some time, and who donned masculine attire to help one of two criminals with whom she has been friendly.

The pair were last seen speeding south on the state highway from Durham, their auto headed for Marysv'ille. The two bandits, whose black masks could not conceal their youth, quickly made it plain that they meant business when they found the bank empty of patrons. Qsne of the bank employees was preparing to close up for the day when a gruff voice commanded him to throw "up his hands. He turned and looked into the muzzle of an automatic, and promptly complied. The second ba'ndit lined up the five members of the bank staff while his companion went about closing the door and pulling down the shades as was customary to indicate that banking hours were I over.

When Cashier S. N. Graves made a move to escape, he was seized by one of the bandits and thrown bodily into the vault. The tellers were then marched after him wWh their hands raised above their ffeads. AT BOTES BO-YES SPRINGS, Aug.

Such an accord ig planned to include a most-fa-vorert-nation clause and would smooth out customs annoyances across the Rhine, making provisions for governing the. steel cartel and perhaps give Germany certain commercial rights in French North Africa. 11 BILLION FRANCS. The chief stumbling block, bo far as the present negotiations are concerned, is the French feeling that the Germans would gain more from the treaty at present than the French.

The amount of business under present provisional agreement is calculated at 11 billion francs, of which more than six and a half billions represents French exports, a tidy favorable balance. On the French side it is' clear this figure would mount If the negotiations were successful in eliminating the German duty on silks, linens and some agricultural products. Before waiving the duty, the Germans want corresponding free entry into France for gome of their electrical machinery, and chemical products. The negotiations have been extended many months and re-opened several times, but unless a last minute hitch occurs, an agreement is thought imminent. On the other side a serious divergence of opinion continues regarding occupation of the Rhine-land.

Here, in the political sphere no such agreement is likely as is promised in the economic field. All France has been stirred by the speeches of German extremists and considerable mystery surrounds the report of General Guil-lamaut, chief of the Rhineland army of occupation. DENIES FIRST REPORT.

At present the British have an army of 7300 on the Rhine, the French 66,700, and the Belgians 6200..

It is extremely unlikely in the face of public opinion that, the French will reduce their force by more than 6000.
