UULOnCVIdld 111 BOTTOM OF BOMB PL0TSIS BELIEF Police Find Anarchistic Pamphlets Near Scene of Ex- ' plosions in Philadelphia. (By Associated Press.) PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Dec. 31. federal and local authorities today were Investigating a series of bomb explosions which wrecked the homes cf Justice Robert von Moschzosker, of the Btate supreme court; Acting Superintendent of Police Mills, and Era est T. Trigg, president of the Philadel phia Chamber of Commerce, late last night. Although the force of the explosions was so great that occupants of the houses were hurled from their beds and scores of windows in nearby houses were" shattered, no one was seriously hurt One man was arrested It was at first reported that one of the bombs had been set off at the home of Judge James E. Gorman, of the Municipal court, but it later developed that it was at the Trigg residence next door. The police, however, said they were confident it was meant for the judge, who is seriously ill with pneumonia. It is feared the shock of the explosion may hate a serious effect upon his condition. The damaged houses are located In widely separated sections of the city, and in each instance shrapnel bombs were used. Local authorities expressed the belief that the men responsible ' for the explosions, which took place within half an hour of each other, came here from New York. Pamphlets Found. Scattered over the streets in front of the wrecked houses were a number of pamphlets denouncing organized law and order. One of them read: "To the Exploiters The Judges, Policemen, The Priests and Soldiers: You. the handful of parasites who have lived upon your brothers, who have depended upon your brothers to slave for you. Again: "We have asked too many times for the right of free speech and free press given by the constitution. We have asked for bread. The answer by your things in uniform has been anything but Justice. Sow we have chosen other means; learned to use other weapons instead of words. Men's weapon is now dynamite. Science triumphed ovpr the Torquemada's century. Anarchy will triumph over the present Torqnemadas of your century. We have demanded the freedom cf all political prisoners, of free press nrd free speech. You have refused. We war against you." The man taken into custody gave h'n name as Jehu Lafferty. He denied any connection with the affair, but was hJd for further4examlnation tortay. 1 The police sayhe was seen to pick vn many of the mmphlets. Fearing that atemptsyi-ould he made to Mow up other bulldt Vs special details of police guarded e residence of United States Senator Penrose, Mayor Smith, District Attorney Roten, local and federal Judges and other prominent citizens throughout the richt.

A. 3 T yl 3 Q ' THE MEETING "Ruth." said Edith, as the little bigeyed dressmaker wa3 about to leave for the day "I want you to stay for dinner tomorrow night. Now no refusals, no excuses; I want one evening of sheer friendliness, without having to fit little Jack's panties and cut out Virginia's dresses." She knew better than to commit the blunder of mentioning that her brother Ned was to return on the morrow. How well Edith remembered when, as a girl, well-meaning friends arranged meetings with eligible bachelors! There were always elaborate announcements of "You're sure to be perfectly wild about each other. Henry is exactly the sort of man you ought to marry!" Or, "I've told Alphonzo all about you. dear. He wants to meet you. I know it will be a case of love at first sight You're MADE for one another!" Then, when she had met Henry or Alphonzo, what a hideous farce it was! . Each was consumed with selfconsciousness, if not actual hatred. None of the fondly planned friendships ever progressed beyond a few desultory and more or less painful encounters. And each found a mate by some casual, happy chance of their own. "We'll have an every-day, quiet, dinner just the family. The youngsters have been plaguing me to death to hav you 6tay. They adore you, Ruth Allison." Edith gave-the girl's arm an affectionate pat. "What makes everyone like you?" she added Impulsively. "Whew! Evarybody doesn't!" Ruth laughed. "If you do, it's 6lmply because you and I strike sympathetic notes. You bring out likable qualities In me. Lots of folks dont. Some people think me a most dreary individual. And I am with them. Mighty few of us are the same person to everybody. I've been to houses where I surprise my own self with my niceness and cleverness." went on Ruth, her big eyes flashing merrily. "And at others I have seemed to be clamped up into the most wretched state of restraint . imaginable. Nobody would have believed I had human intelligence. 1 actually suffered with shyness and . inhibition. They simply weren't my kind of people, that's all, and I wasn't their kind! You're my kind, though," she finished, waving good night to Edith as she took up her work satchel and went out. "I'll stay tomorrow!" she added through a crack of the door. Edith watched her as she went down the road in the golden light of the setting sun a trim, slim little figure with a cleanness of outline that somehow

spoke both of practicality and of delicate realism. Edith liked Ruth Allison with an enthusiasm she felt for few persons. She wished she knew her story. It would be interesting she felt sure. Some day Ruth would tell It to her of her own accord. Next morning Ned Flowerton arrived, better in mind and body for his taste of rough ranch life. He was bronzed and husky looking; yet there was an intangible something in his manner that suggested gentleness, He was not so boisterous, not quite si debonair. All day Edith had a feeling of excitement under her casual manner, as she saw to the household machinery and worked with Ruth in the sewing room. She did so hope Ned would be drawn to Ruth Allison. He ought to be; men were easily caught on the rebound in love affairs! And she did so hope Ruth would be attracted to her brother dear old Ned, who had so much that was good, even great, in him, and so much that was irresponsible! If . the thing had been a play and Edith the stage manager, it could not have happened with better effect. The day's sewing had been put away and Ruth had suddenly sat down to the piano and wakened the keys in a succession of rippling fragments unstudied things, part improvisation, and part classic. Edith didn't know she played, but somehow it seemed quite natural that she should. At this moment Ned came running into the bouse from the shops of the beater company, where he had been all day. He paused abruptly at seeing a stranger, as if deciding whether It would be an awful bore to have to talk to a girl. It was Edith's tact that made him stay. She greeted Ned, but did not present him to Ruth, who went on playing softly while Ned and Edith talked. "But who's that?" queried Ned. "My little dressmaker who comes by the day. She's dining with us. Want to meet her, Bud?" "Yes," said Ned quietly. Ordinarily he would have said, "You betcha life I do." And as Edith performed the rites of introduction she saw their two faces light up in a way that made her leap. . (To be continued.) General Grant was nicknamed Old Unconditional Surrender because of his reply to General Buckner at Ft. Donelson in 1862. when Buckner asked what terms of surrender would be allowed: "No terms other than an unconditional : and Immediate . surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works."

WAR DEPARTMENT CRITICIZED BEFORE

SENATE MEMBERS Chamberlain Charges Inadequate Hospital Facilities for Wounded -Lack of Definite Plans. WASHINGTON, Dec. Zl Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the Senate military affairs committee, spoke for more than three hours Monday In the senate in criticism of the War Department, dealing ' particularly with what he termed the failure to provide adequate hospital facilities for returned wounded soldiers and to formulate a definite plan for demobilization.' -, . The senator reiterated many of the charges he made in his address at New York soon after the nation entered the war and in a subsequent address in the senate, and said that information that had come to light since had justified the statements he had made. Senator Chamberlain's New York address brought forth a sharp statement from President Wilson. Referring indirectly today to that criticism, the Oregon senator said his purpose then and his purpose now was to bring about an improvement in conditions. Scores Aid for Contractors. Senator Chamberlain, who was heard by crowded galleries, said the War Department now in pursuing with re gard to hospital facilities the same dilatory tactics it adopted in the prosecution of the war many months ago. "If the War Department," he declared, "paid one-half the attention to preparations for receiving these boys as they are to getting legislation through congress in order to protect contractors who made contracts for war supplies over the telephone, in violation of law. this matter would Boon be settled." ' The need " for a definite policy of demobilization was urged by the senator, who said that if one were established unrest among the men in cantonments and overseas would cease. He praised the British plan for returning its soldiers to civil life, saying it was framed along economic lines.

RUSSIANS HOPE FOR ALLIED AID AT CONFERENCE PARIS, Dec. 31. "Russia has been granted a respectful hearing by the allies in her request for representation at the Peace Congress, and I am hopeful that the sentiment of a mapority of the Russian nations will be listened to and regarded by the congress." Boris A. Bakhmeteff, the Ambassador to the United States, said to the Associated Press today. "The Ambassadors and other prominent Russians now in Paris," he added, "feel that Russia comes to the congress as a copartner in victory. Without Russia the war could not have been won. Unfortunately, Russia collapsed before the war ended, and, as tl ere is no Government recognized at present by the Entente, it is naturally impossible for any Russians to sign a peace treaty, unless recognition should ccme before the signing. But we feel sure that Russian affairs will not be disposed of by the conference without heeding Russian public sentiment. Spirit Still Lives. Russia exists in spite of her misfortunes. The spirit of united Russia lives, and is being fostered at Omsk, Archangel, Ekaterinador and other centers. Russia will eventually right herself even without allied assistance, but she can recover more rapidly with aid from her allies, who need a united Russia to oppose German - machinations through the Bolsheviki. A stable Russia is necessary to offset the spread of Bolshevism and to protect the far East from disorder" Ambassador Bahkmeteff and other Russians in Paris are delighted over the reports of the Rusian victory over the Bolsheviki at Perm. They had expected this, as Admiral Kolchak, the leader at Omsk, had advised them of successful advances toward Perm. The clear enunciation by French statesmen of the Entente policy toward Russia also is gratifying to the Russians, who express confidence that the various centers of Russian j unity are growing stronger. Ambassa-, dor Bakhmeteff and his associates believe that money and supplies are all1 that are necessary to insure the sue- j ctss of the Russian army in Siberia, which now numbers 100,000 men, with 2CG.000 more recruited and awaiting equipment. . .
