nicely the rice and the omelet, but the

to shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between

Washington, Jan. 1l.-Somewhat Of

Tuesday by the discovery OF what APP
peared to be a definite and serious at
tempt to blow up or deface the statue
of Frederick the Great given to the
United States by Emperor William of
Germany and erected in the arsenal
grounds near the army war college on
the Potomac river water front in the
southern part of the city. Ii was be-
lieved at first that a crank had made
q serious effort at destruction Of the
statue. but after a careful investiga-
ton the police officials say the ma
terial used was incapable of produc-
Ing damaging results. All the evil
dence secured so far. the police an
nounce, tend to show that the attempt
ed effort to injure the statue vas
puny and amatureish to a degree. IL
is regarded as an attempt to work up
Q sensation. A hole in the soft mud
about six inches deep by six inches
wide and twelve inches long, shatter-
ed window panes in nearby buildings
and FIVE or six splotches Of yellow clay
on as many granite steps summed up
the damage done by the bomb. which
had been placed on a high picket fence
surrounding the statue. An analysis
and examination of the bomb shows
the substance used had not sufficient
strength to wreck the fence.
