FRENCH HURL WAR CHARGES AT GERMANY Deputies Claim Preparations Being Made for Great Chemical Struggle. b'l Uniterl Preen PARIS,' Dec. 10.—Charges that Germany has been preparing for “a most formidable chemical war and Joday constitutes the gravest danger to peace,” were made by French deputies today during a discussion of the war budget in the chamber. Henri Franklin-Bouillon led the attack, asserting that he was “raising a cry of alarm” only because he had received many letters from German pacifists detailing Germany's alleged militaristic preparations. Other deputies described the German “chauvinistic mentality” as unchanged since Versailles, declaring that Germany has not disarmed and, as before, she wishes to remain a great power, making treaties which she later can break, to retake her place in the sun. Pierre Cot said France had dictated the terms of the Versailles treaty, yet she still was forced to spend heavily on her military budget to feel secure.

BOMB FOUND IN BROKER'S HOME; GUARD MANSION Butler Finds Explosive as Guests Sit Down for Dinner; Fuse Out. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Discovery of a dynamite bomb in the dining room of the Lake Forest mansion of James Norris, wealthy broker, with connections here and in New York, just as he and several guests were about to sit down to dinner, has led to a guard of five private detectives armed with shotguns patrolling the estate today. Police guards were protecting Norris, who owns the controlling interest in the $7,000,000 Chicago stadium, and Sidney N. Sfcrotz, also a wealthy broker and heir to the fortune of the late C. N. Strotz. A butler discovered the bomb on a window sill. The fuse had burned half way along and gone out. The men took the explosive, which police said would have killed every one in the room and wrecked the house, out of the room without saying anything to their wives. Norris telephoned for police aid and the heavy guard was posted. Police also guarded the stadium today, on the theory the plot grew out of Norris’ connection with the big west side structure. A bitter struggle for control of the stadium resulted in the ouster of Patrick T. (Paddy) Harmon as manager recently.
