EXPLOSION Charged
To ENEMY Aliens
81 900 Reward Offered for Capture
of California Dynamiters.

Sacramento, CAL. Dec. 1s-An anti
American plot was generally blamed
for the apparent attempt to assassi-
nate Gov. William D. Stephens and his
wife as they slept in the executive
mansion last night, when an explosion
partly wrecked the mansion and dam
aged property for blocks around.
With the police admittedly at a loss
for clews, the attorney generals Office
undertook an independent investiga-
tion. - Attorney General Webb sum-
moned L. J. Forralt, Federal ex-
plosives expert from San Francisco,
and it was announced he would direct
an attempt to trace the perpetrators
Of the outrage through the explosion
itself. Oficials are convinced that the
blast was the work of novices,
1t Is believed seasoned dynamiters
would have placed the charge further
inside the building. Had that been
done 1t is more than likely both Gov.
Stephens and Mrs. Stephens would
have been killed.

Allies Put Ban on Rule
Of Bolsheviki Government

The allied governments will not rec
ognize any Russian government domi
mated by Lenine and Trotzky. This
statement has been definitely made to
the United States. The allies have
positive evidence that Lenine and
Trotzky are German agents. The at
tItude OF. the United States on the
Bolsheviki government Is awaited by
the allies with supreme interest.
These facts are from authoritative
allied diplomatic source.
The allies consider that the decision
of the United States with regard to
Russia at this junction involves the
solidfty Of the entente.
No hint of what President Wilson
will do has escaped from the ad-
mistration- 1t Is believed in diplo-
matte circles that Col. House is now
enlightening him on the importance
Of the Russian decision.
As England and France view 1t, rec
ognition Of the Bolshevik by the
United States at this time would only
prepare the way for the last des-
perate German move-the Christmas
peace offer.
Germany Faces Defeat.
The attitude of the entente nations
is said to be based upon very deti-
mite information which has reached
them from the interior of Germany.

lined here:

Eight distinct and separate probes

5-If the United States recognizes
the Bolshevik government 1t will rec
ognize the government which alone
has broken the pact OF London, the
pact in which the entente nations
agreed to fight side by side to the
end.
1t Is in this sense that the recogni-
ton Of the Bolsheviki by the United
States is considered to strike at the
foundations of the coalition against
Germany. Taken in connection with
the slowness of the United States in
getting into action 1t would be QUOT
ed throughout Germany as proving
that the United States did not intend
to fight after all.

TO WIN VICTORY
Mccormick Back from the
Front, Brings Word from
Gen. Petain.

II the war is to be won, 5000 cam
non must be forged in American fac
tories for ourselves and the allies,
Mednl Mccormick told the Senate
military affairs committee today,
which Is conducting the probe of the
War Department.
The Illinois Congressmen brought to
the committee the fruits Of his recent
trip along the French and italian
fronts. His testimony was secret, but
by permission of Senator Chamber
lain, part of it was later made public.
Neither the French nor the Italians
have artillery to spare, and the Brit
ish, who have far more, will not real
ly have enough, until spring. It Is up
to America, said Mccormick. q
Gen. Petain said to him In France:
Petaln Asks for GUNS.
Make guns. Send us guns and am
munition rather than steel billets. We
are grateful for The iiftls force you
have sent US. The echo Of its foot
falls carried hope to every hearth in
France. But as 1t grows there must
be a period when we shall be taxed
to supply it While its numbers SLOW
ly increase, you Americans, who are q
great Industrial people, must see that
this war is an industry of destruction.
You will understand how urgent it
is to send us guns-middle heavies
and shells in order that we may be
armed to win victories and to defend
ourselves that some of US may be
alive to fight by your side when at
last America is ready"
Calls for Department.
This country must create a DEPART
ment of Munitions, said Mccormick.
I'VE need one in order to stop delay
and to turn out the 5000 cannon"
which he declared, 'is not a figure
summoned from my inner conscious
ness but the estimate Of the best mill
tary opinion Of Europe"
Picturesquely phrasing his words, the
Illinois man said:
"The middle heavy is to this war
what the steam shovel was to PAN
anna" If we make guns enough and
got them to France before the spring
of 1913, we should win the war with
out terrible losses"
without the gun," he added, I'VE
shall lose the men and maybe lose
the war.
Ged Rid Of BIunderers.
After the session today, Senator
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey. issued
a statement demanding the heads of
the incompetents.
''There is no disposition to punish
said he. "If. however, any
monumental blunders are exposed, 1t
is believed the President will promptly
retire from the service those respon-
sible for them"
