not been the only enemies of Antwerp.
Holland, lover of freedom as she is,
was unable in the past to resist the
temptation to play the part of a Rhine
robber and levy toll on the ships SAIL

century and a half of this injustice.

and compelled Holland to relinquish
the dues. Antwerp then forged ahead,

that Napoleon built. All went we'll

Examination showed that the bomb
was made of a five-pound oil can and
that IT was filled with guncotton, slugs
and bullets. Magistrate Campbell said
that he had no idea who would seek
to take his life unless it were the
writer or writer's of threatening let
ters he had received during the re-
cent trial of Industrial Workers of
the World leaders at which he had

The police believe that the bomb was

Magistrate Campbell this afternoon
turned over to detectives a communi-
cation, written on the letterhead of a
Church of the Social Revolution, which
he said he received day before yester-
day. In it he was invited to attend
a reception" given in Carnegie Hall
last night to Bouck White, the clergy

This looks like begging, but there are

We met few Belgian men. Eighty per

thousands of articles of clothing, rang
ing from pairs of baby socks to warm
dresses and coats for women, and in
