case and escaped without injury. He
was standing just inside an open
doorway watching the parade. The
concussion threw him to the floor.
Veterans Avert Panic.
To the men of the Grand Army of
the Republic who had faced explod-
ing shells before fell the task of
averting panic when the ranks of
the paraders were split by the shrap-
nel-like blast.
The grizzled veterans were almost
on the scene of the explosion when
the detonation came. For moment,
while crawling women and men could
be seen cropping painfully through the
smoke caused by the bomb, the lines
halted in confusion and disruption
seemed imminent
Then some unnamed marcher
sprang to the front of the thin blue
line and called attention" Instantly
his comrades returned to their places
and the little column, somewhat fee
bly,, but with the determination that
made them survivors of the civil
war, marched on past the huddled
heaps of dead and injured on the
street and sidewalk.
Newspapers Receive Warning.
All the newspaper offices in San
Francisco Saturday received a COM

with an indelible pencil, many of the
words being heavily underscored. The
communication was signed "The De-
termined Exiles From Militaristic
Government, Italy, Germany, U. S.,
Italy, Russia" In several instances
the writer repeated himself. The
communication read:
editor: Our protests have been
in vain in regards to this prepared
ness propaganda, so we are going to
use a little direct action on the 22d,
which will echo around the earth and
show that Frisco really knows how
and that militarism can not be fore
ed on us and our children without
violent protest
Things are going to happen to
show that we will go to any extreme,
the same as the controlling class, to
preserve what little democracy we
still have. Don't take this as joke,
or you will be rudely awakened"
