WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Oficials
of the department of justice in
charge of the investigation and pros
ecution of the bomb plot cOnspira-
tors believe that the back bone of the
epidemic of munition plant dynamit-
ing and general incendiarism due to
activities of foreign agents, has been
broken.
Chief Bielaski of the federal bu-
reau of investigation, said today that
the foreign agents apparently are
discouraged by their lack of success
in carrying out the most pretentious
of their plots. Asst. Atty. Gen. War
rem, in general charge of prosecu-
tiOns, declared that he believes that
operators of the big munition plants
by this time have weeded out the
dangerous characters among the
men who were hastily employed TO
handle rush war orders and have
broken in those whose ineXperience
enhanced danger of accidents.
The department has not relaxed
its vigilance. however, those officials
stated. Several more indictments
are expected as the result of cases
on which the department has been
working for some weeks. but no new
outrage has been reported.

FIT. Madison, Nov 29.-Henry Muel
Ter VS.. Western Union Telegraph Co.,
is the title of case somewhat out Of
the ordinary which is set down for

The petition alleges that Henry
Mueller was in Detroit, Mich, in Aug,
ust, 1913, attending national conven
ton of the Loyal Order of Moose. On
August 81, Mueller wired Ernest Burs.
ter here to send his $15. In the first
trial Burster testified that he had
given Frank Spring the money and
that he had returned with a receipt
from the local Office of the Western
Union showing that it had received
SIS for transmission to Mueller. The
suit alleges that Mueller never receiv.
ed the money, though he called sever
al times at the Detroit Office and ask
ed for it. Negligence on the part of the
company is charged in the petition as
the cause for the non arrival of the
money. 1t is set forth that Mueller be-
cause of the failure of the money to
arrive, was damaged in the sum OF

FOOD SITUATION DESPERATE
London Daily Mail Says Americans
There Are Near the Point of
Starvation.

London, Nov. 29.-The Daily Mail
makes feature story of what it
describes as highly authentic infor-
nation that the food situation in
both Germany and Austria ungtry
is more desperate than had hitherto
been generally believed. This in
formation is based on what is claim:
ed to be the necessity of the Ameri-
can officials in both countries to send
food. The food supplies, it is said,
are now arriving and are being
placed in depots under the vigilant
supervision of American officials.
The newspaper says its informant
declares that the Americans in the
past few weeks have reported to
Washington that their ration tickets
are useless. as there is little or no
food to ration the nation and that
the action of the American govern
ment in Fastening supplies of food to
them is only interpreted in the light
of showing that the American en-
bassies and consulates now regard
the food situation in Austria and
Germany with the greatest possible
anxiety.
In an editorial dealing with this
story the Daily Mail says it explains
the peace intrigues which the Ger
mans are fomenting in the United
States and elsewhere" and urges the
British government to exert every
possible pressure, especially the
tightening of the blockade, to prevent
Germany from taking advantage of
the seizure of the corn lands of Rou-
mania.
