OFFER REWARDS
FOR ARREST OF
BOMB MAKERS
Nine Policemen and Woman
Killed by Missile in MiIWau-
kee Police Station.
RESULT OF CHURCH FEUD?
Chief Jansen Believes Band of ltal-
ian Anarchists With IconocIastic
Ideas Responsible for Deaths
eleven Face Trial.

Milwaukee, Nov. 26.-That the bomb
which killed ten persons, injured two
and wrecked the central police station
here Saturday night may have been
manufactured by experts in Chicago
is the theory that now holds the atten-
tion Of the authorities who have the
investigation In charge.
This theory, the plan of offering Of
substantial rewards by the city and
state for the arrest of the criminals
responsible for the explosion and the
detention of half dozen Italians were
the outstanding developments in
crime that has stirred the community
as 1t has not been aroused in half a
century.
In addition citizens have already
started pouring in subscriptions for
the families of the police officers and
the woman who met death when the
bomb exploded.
Offers Of help came from practically
all the large police departments in
the country, but the only one accepted
thus far was that from Chief Herman
Schuettler of Chicago, who sent Ser
geant Mike Mills and Julian Bernacchi
here.
Bomb Found In Church.
The bomb was found In Rev. Gull
Hani's church by Miss Maude Richter,
church organist. She sent an Italian
boy, Tony Massone, with it to the Cen
tral station and handed it to Station
Keeper Deckert. The station keeper
carried it into the squad room, where
detectives and police coming on or just
going off duty were assembled. A mo-
ment later there was a flash and a
roar. Buildings rocked for blocks
around. The smoke cleared. Where
detectives and the station keeper had
stood was a mass Of wreckage and
fragments of human bodies.
Will Offer Rewards.
Gov. E. L. Philip and Aldermen
William l. Greene and Louis Weiss
were authority for the statement that
substantial rewards would be offered
by the city and the state.
List OF Dead.
The list of dead follows:
Frank M. Caswin, detective.
Henry Deckert, station keeper.
Fred w. Kaiser, detective.
David O'Brien, detective.
Stephen II. Stecker, detective.

Italian Not Killed.

Contrary to the first reports, Sam
Mazzone, the young Italian, who is a
member of Rev. August Agiuiana's
mission congregation, was not killed
or injured, although he was in the
station when the bomb exploded
1t is the belief of Chief Jansen that

for the death of his officers and the

GERMAN SUB-SEA RULES
THAT CAUSED THE SPLIT

The note presented to Secretary
Lansing by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, was the reply of
the German government to President
Wilson's world peace address before
the senate. It's declaration of unre-
stricted naval warfare, assumed to
mean the sinking without warning of
all passenger and freight vessels COM
ing within the restricted zone caused
profound surprise. There had been no
official hint that such a development
was coming,
Following is the appendix referred
to in the German note:
From February /, 1917, within the
barred zone around Great Britain,
France and Italy and in the eastern
Mediterranean, as set forth in the fol-
lowing, all sea traffic will be forthwith
opposed.
Such barred zones are:
In the North sea, the district around
England and France which is limited
by a line 20 nautical miles; the area
along the Dutch coast, as far as the
Terschellig lightship and 20 nautical
miles distant along the Spanish north
coast as far as the French frontier.
With regard to the southern area Of
the Mediterranean:
For neutral shipping there remains
an open sea district west of line from
PIT. de les Placquett as far as 38 de-
grees 20 minutes north and 6 degrees
east as well as north and west of a
zone go miles broad, along the north
African coast, beginning on-degrees
western longitude
Neutral ships plying between the
barred zones do so at their own risk.
Although precautions will be taken
that neutral ships being on February
on the way to ports in the barred zone.
during due period of delay hall be
spared, yet it is urgently advisable that
they should be warned and directed to
other roads by all means at disposal
Neutral ships plying in ports of the
barred zone can with the same safety

Safe conducts have been requested
by the state department Of both Great
Britain and France for passage
through the allied blockade, and no
doubt is felt that they will be ac-
corded.

President Cheered by House.
A usual committee of congress-
men met the president and escorted
him to the speakers dais. The whole
body rose and cheered as the presi-
dent, acknowledging their greeting
without his usual smile but grim faced
and solemn, took his place at the
clerks desk and began reading the doc
ument
Not a sound came from floor or gar
leries, but the clear calm tones of the
president, reading slowly and dis
tinctly. The assemblage of senators,
representatives and notab1es about
him, listened with closest attention to
words which may recover one Of the
somber moments of American history
if not, indeed, of the world
AS he concluded there were cheers
of approval from both sides of the
chamber, and the president returned
to the White house to discuss meas
ures of precaution with Secretary
Daniels of the navy and Secretary
Baker of the war department.
There were expressions of support
and approval of the presidents course.
AS the joint session dissolved both
| houses went back to work.
Soon after Count Won Bernstorff's
passports arrived, United States secret
| service men threw a guard about the
ambassador and his suite, to make GER
tain that the hospitality of the United
States is not violated while he remains
on American SOIL The status of Count
Tarnowski, the Austrian ambassador
was undecided, although he called at
the state department to arrange for
presenting his credentials to President
Wilson.
Spain to Represent U. S.
Spain will care for American inter
ests in Germany, now that diplomatic
relations are severed.
It is expected that the German gov
eminent will give a period of grace OF
fifteen to thirty days in which the
Americans may leave, similar to the
action taken with reference to bellig-
erents at the beginning of the war.
No particular steps have been taken
to get Americans out of Austria, as Of
fetal reports show that there are not
more than thirty native Americans in
all Austria.
Ambassador Penfeld has been kept
advised of the situation. It is assumed
at the state department that these few
Americans would be able to make their
way to Switzerland without hindrance.
The 5000 Americans in Germany
presented a more serious problem, but
inasmuch as there are large number
of Germans in America, it is assumed
that reciprocal arrangements can be
madeSto get them to neutral countries
if they can not reach home.

HIGH OFFICIALS AT BERLIN SAY
DETERMINATION TO ENFORCE
ZONE RULE Is FINAL.
CALL PEACE CHANCE SLIGHT
Submarine Campaign Without Loss of
Some American Lives Thought
ImpossibIe-U. S. Diplomats
Ready to Leave Berlin.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-Peaceful contInu-
ance of GermanAAmerican relations
after the departure of the respective
embassies at Washington and Berlin,
in the sense indicated by President
Wilson in his address to congress, ap-
pears to be very slight, judging by in
formation gathered from some OF the
highest authenticity.
1t was stated positively in high polit-
ical circles that the German orders fol
the conduct of a submarine war coulc
not and would not be modified; that in
Germany the determination to enforce
the prohibited zone order was absolute
and final and that the only security fol
shipping was in avoidance Of the pro
hibited zone.
Submarine Best Weapon.
Germany, it is stated, resorted to
this measure after the shameful" re
lection by the entente powers of peace
overtures and only after the fullest de-
termination and as the imperative
weapon in defense of it's threatened in
terests; Germany can not relinquish
this weapon-the only one promising
speedy end to the War-reiuctant as
Germany was to take this step.
The government had hoped that the
United States would see it in this light
and was and is actuated by no animos-
ity to the United States in it's deter
mination Germany, therefore, is very
keenly disappointed and grieved by
the terms of Mr.. Wilson's message,
but the government can not alter or
modify the course upon which it has
determined
Causes No Surprise.
The morning newspapers treat the
breach as matter of great gravity,
but all the editorials are pitched in a
calm and moderate tone.
Most of the newspapers say the
news created no surprise, some saying
this step was expected, III view lof
President Wilson's message Of last
April.
A number Of papers adopt a regret
full tone over the wreck of the old
friendship. 1t is generally assumed by
the newspapers that the United States
will make an early declaration of war
against Germany, for they say the sub
marine campaign can hardly be prose
cuted without the loss of some Ameri-
can lives.
While the entrance of the United
States into the ranks of Germany's
enemies would be highly regretable,
the newspapers say the country must
meet this danger as the lesser of two
evils. The danger of the United
States as a war factor is treated as
comparatively unimportant, owing to
the remoteness of the area of war and
the time that would be required to
create an army. The opinion liz
evinced in some quarters that the sub
marines will decide the war before the
United States can take an active
hand.
The American embassy building has
been thronged with Americans seek
ing advice and help. All embassy en-
ployes have notice from the ambas-
sador to pack their belongings and be
ready to leave at any moment. So far,
it is asserted, the route which the DIP
lomatic corps will take to America.
has not been determined. 1t is prob
able, however, that they will leave via
Spain.
