work bomb was found hidden yesterday
IN the Ministry of War at CONSTANT.
nople according to a dispatch from Sa-
loniki. 1t was timed to explode at an
hour when the council would be in ses-
sion. The meetings of this body are at
tended by Enver Pasha, Minister of
War, Field Marshal Won Der Goltz and
General Liman Won Sanders.
An investigation is said to have dis.
closed that the bomb was placed in the
room by a sweeper who had come to
clean the chimney and who then disap-
peared. Several minor officials connect
ed with the Ministry of War have
been arrested on suspicion of being his
accomplices. The police believe the
plot was directed against the Young
Turks and the Germans.
Members of the committee of union
and progress are said to- have decided
at meeting to which no Germans were
admitted to adhere to waiting pol.
icy," but to favor the conclusion of
a separate peace with the allies if
Germany failed to provide assistance
sufficient to repulse an attack on the
