violent to wrench loose the doors of
cabins nearby. The authorities be-
lieves the explosive had been placed
! with criminal intent in a trunk which
was stored with the baggage of first
class passengers in No. 2 hold.
Aroused Suspicion
! With this first report of experts at
hand, the State attorney at Havre eX-
amined as many passengers as could be
REACHED. The witnesses stated, accord
ing to the Matin, that they had been
amazed at the statement made one
night during the voyage by a fellow
! passenger when they were discussing
/ German threats to torpedo ships pass
ing through the war zone. This pas
senger is quoted as having remarked:
"Oh, that isn't the only war zone
that would be dangerous; Germany
is strong enough to do what she wants.
This ship herself. even before she
reaches the war zone, might be oblig-
ed to have recourse to the doctors and
nurses aboard to care for the passeng-
ers."
only passing heed, however, was
given to this assertion when it was
made, but in view of subsequent events
lit appeared to the investigating at
torney to have considerable import
ance.
The passenger in question, who was
quoted as having boasted of Germany's
power, was listed on the ships rec
ords as Raymond Swoboda, 3s years
old. an American subject; profession,
financier; destination, Paris"
Placed Under Arrest
! Commissioner Dubert, attached to
the Secret Service Department of the
Ministry of the Interior, undertook the
task of tracing Swoboda.
He found him in the Place De Ri
voli, where he was arrested. When his
room was searched, the police declare,
a number of letters written in Ger
man were found which seemed to
point strongly to his guilt. He was
turned Ger to the Havre police by
| the Paris authorities.
/ Mr. Morrison, the broker, when told
of Swoboda's arrest, expressed amaze
ment. "I had business relations with
iSwoboda," he said but he always was
perfectly honorable in his dealing with
ime. / knew that he formerly was en-
lployed in a large Paris bank and I was
not astonished at his wide knowledge
of finance. I knew also that his busi-
ness brought him large income"

Rock Candy agreed. They sent to ask Mrs.
String if she would let the children visit them
for a while and she said she would The
Strings, of course, were delighted. Every day
they ate the bread and milk, jam, eggs and
