Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or go and help to put
out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is dan.
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress 1t
than to stop fire bell wnen it is ring
ing, but should cure the disease that
is causing the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used 1t with the most benefi
cial results. 1t is especially valuable
for the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack Of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. lS-The finding :
Of six bombs in the plant of the RemIng-
ton Arms Company here today. 1t is re-
ported, cirCumvented well-laid plot to
destroy the plant. Had the bombs e1-
ploded the lives of 5000 employees would
have been endangered.
Every precaution Is being taken to keep
full details OF the alleged plot from be-
coming public. In the meantime agents
OF the Department OF Justice, assisted
by detectives employed by the Rening-
ton Company, are making an investiga-
ton.
From reliable sources 1t is definitely
learned that the company suspects GeE-
man agents. Protective forces in the big
plant have been urged to redouble pre-
cautions and prospective employees are
compelled to undergo a rigid exam
instion as to their past history and con-
nections.
The Remington Company is working
night and day in shifts OF eish, hours
each, on orders from the allies for muni-
tions. 1t has been reliably reported that
the total orders on the company's books
amount to considerably more than $780,
10000.
That IT was the intention TO destroy the
entire plant at one blow is understood
from the fact that each Of the six bombs
was planted in vulnerable spot. All are
said to have been timed to explode stimuli
taneously. They contained enough explo-
sive to wipe the entire city OF Bridgeport
off the map
Discovery of the plot was due to a
workman who accidentally came across
one of the bombs. 1t was well hidden
under some heavy materials. He carried
the bomb to the office. Two minutes later
the entire plant was being subjected to
rigid search.
The composition and mechanical equip
ment Of the bombs have not been made
known.

BY vote OF 55 to IS the Senate yesterday
ratified the treaty with Nicarauga, under
which the United states acquires a strip
Of property in Nicaragua known as the
canal route and also the right to estab-

For this concession the United States
agrees to pay LiNicarauga the sum Of

voted to ratify the treaty; five Demo-
cratic Senators voted against ratifica-
ton.
The treaty was originally submitted by
Secretary Bryan, but it has been much
modified to meet objections, or 1t would
have failed. The resolution of rstifica-
ton carried a proviso submitted by Sem
ator Broussard assuring the protesting
Central American republics OF the good
Intentions of the United States and de-
claring that the rights of these states
would be safeguarded.
The grant to the United States by
Nicarauga under the terms of the treaty

of interoceanic canal by a Nicara guam

and the right to establish a naval base

The treaty also comedies an option to
the United States or renewing the leases

years. The territory leased il to pass
under the laws and sovereignty of the

not made free of taxes in the treaty

Milan. Feb. lS-It is reported that
the Pope Is writing a vigorous protest to
Austria against aeroplanes dropping
bombs on Italian towns.
After the destruction of the famous
ceiling painted by Giovanni Bsttista Tie
pola, in the early part OF the eighteenth
century in the church OF Venice, the
Pope sent an urgent request to Emperor
Joseph to spare the Italian churches.
His Holiness thereupon received as
surances that the Austrian air plots
would respect the sacred edifces. These
assurances were idle, as occupants of
the machines from a height of 5000 feet
cannot distinguish a church from a
barrack. rH
When the news of -ihe incursions at
Ravenna and Milan were received. the
Pope expressed surprise at this new af-
Fiction. and Immediately asked for full
reports. Cardinal Ferrari at Milan sent
description of the raid on this city
and expressed in scathing terms his in
dignation against the Austrian methods
of warfare He also asked the Pope TO
stigmatize as they deserved these at
tacks upon unarmed populations.

from terrifying the people. these incur
sions only strengthened their hatred of
the Austrans and as result in Milan
there was greater ardor than ever
for war.

After the Pope read the letters he shut

that he was busy drawing up a very

Six months ago the Germans could be

would occupy these places in the mar
kets from which IT seemed impossible
that German trade should be expelled.

There is still a short space OF time
during which Germany might come to
terms. Without loss of honor her enemies
might m AXE a decent and enduring peace,
