purchased the materials for the man

thence 10 the purchasers themselves.
And this yielded results.
These steps led almost at once to the
doors of the Scheele Chemical Labora-
tory, IN Hoboken. And here were
found. in process Of being tilled and
made ready, as choice "A collection Of
hand-tooled home bombs as could be

there. too, three hundred nice. new

But said four German gentlemen
were promptly arrested, together with
four other Teutonic bomb impresarlos

clerical work relating TO purchasing is
done b. a staff OF about seven officers
and few subordinstes. the latter

erals who have seen active service are
taking part. At the French Mission a

al day with work. They are housed
in pretty section OF the city, just
