The explosion of the bombs which
the old nihilist had secrcted in his
cellar had literally torn the house
asunder. Yet by one OF those whims
which so frequently characterize the
action of high explosives, though the
front bf the house had been trans
formed into heap OF debris. the
rooms at the rear remained intact and
almost uninjured. Thus it happened
that Morton and Olga, standing be-
hind the curtain which hung at the
entrance to the dining room, though
hurled to the floor by the force of the
explosion, had escaped with few
bruises, while Stephanski, who had
been in the front room, only a few
feet away, now lay dead amid the
debris-killed by the very bombs with
which he had planned to kill others.
On the other side OF the room, half
furied beneath heap of fallen plaster,
Hope was stretched. His eyes were
closed and only faint heaving OF
the chest, so slight as to be almost
imperceptible, showed that he was
living.
Morton and Olga, still screened by
the curtain behind which they had
concealed themselves when Hope
broke into the room, had scarcely re-
gained their senses when they were
dumfound6 to hear outside the house
the voice Of Cleo--Cleo, whom they
had left bound and gagged in the eel

MEAT IS Distributed

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Berlin, June 1.-The suburb Of
Grunewald has adopted a unique
method OF dispensing with crowds
waiting outside Of butcher shops, by
announcing that it is to give to each
Of its citizens a number, according to
which each inhabitant will be enabled
to buy meat on specified days.
The butchers will be notified reg
ularly that on Monday meat may be
sold to a given set OF numbers (de-
pendent in size upon the available Of

to another specified set, and so forth.
The plan, it is believed, will result in

ing to take the federal oath would be

diately has been prepared by War de-

may be presented to congress- today,
The Hay resolution would put into
immediate effect section III Of the
new bill, which will not become effee!
tive under its own terms until July /.
1t authorizes the president to draft
all members of the National Guard
reserves in his discretion when con-
gress shall have authorized the use Of
the armed forces Of the country,
For Defense Purposes Only.
As only congress has the power to
declare war, the president could use
the guardsmen even under this sec
ton only for repelling invasion. 1t is
held, however, that the militia may be
sent across the international line II
necessary in the operation of defend
ing American territory. Section Ill
says:
"All persons so drafted shall, from
date of their draft. stand discharged
from the militia and shall from said
date be subject to such laws and reg
ulations as may be applicable to men,
bers of the volunteer army"
The section also provides that Off
GERS of the forces. so drafted above
the rank of colonel shall be appointed
by the president, while lower officers
shall be selected from the personnel
of the force.

service the doctors of the medical re-

ton was in progress.
The men will be held at state mo-
bilization points until mustered into
the federal service. II the entire

border service the units not sent south
probably will be granted furlough.
1t is certain, however, that the en-
tire force, the minimum strength OF
which will be upward Of 100000 men,
will be held under arms for two weeks
or a month while the processes OF
muster into the federal service and Of
equipment are being worked out.
