SUSPENDED
Confined from First Page.l

CONTINUED from First Page.)
perfectly correct The Department Of
State understands that Mr.. van Rap
pard is being transferred to a Euro
pean post pursuant to a decision OF the
Netherlands foreign office last Febru-
ary. The Dutch minister said today
that It was customary for a minister to
remain here four years. and that his
own transfer had been arranged many
months ago. He will continue to be in
charge of the legation for at least two
months, when his successor is expected.
II there are any diplomats in Wash
ington under suspicion, therefore, Of
completely in the sending Of secret
messages to Germany, the Department
of State has decided that it would
not be wise to reveal who they are,
but 1t is quite likely that all the
legations will be more circumspect
about the character OF their messages
hereafter.
Not To End Negotiations.
In this connection, the State De-
partment made it quite clear today
that It did not intend to suspend the
negotiations about food questions
with Sweden. The impression had
been spread that the whole purpose
of the recent revelations was to bring
about a more rigid embargo on ex-
ports to Sweden. Officials disclaim-
ed any such intention indicating that
the exposure of German duplicity was
the real object Of the State Depart
ment's publication of the messages.
And it was quite encouraging to OBJ
serve that these same officials re-
corded themselves as not believing
that because certain attaches Of the
Stockholm foreign office might have
been guilty OF connivance with Ger
many, it, therefore, became the duty
of the United States to negotiate the
embargo question no longer with the
Stockholm foreign office. Faith in the
Swedish government has not been
lost, apparently, and prompt correc-
tive measures taken by the present
ministry. undoubtedly will restore
confidence here.

SOLDIERS WIVES
FILL VACANCIES IN
DISTR|CT'SSTORES
-c0pyright By Harris 4 Ewing.

Many OF washington's married
women are working behind counters
of Washington's big department stores
today to help make the world safe
for democracy.
Especially are the wives of soldiers
working to keep up the families
usual incomes. And then again 1t is
a patriotic duty that these women
are performing. While the volume
OF Washington's business is greater
than it ever was before the big
stores are in a serious plight owing
to the great shortage OF help.
Married women and old men are
being advertised for every day. Only
recently one big department store ad-
vertised prominently in the news
papers for married women, who could
spare only part OF their time-a few
hours perhaps in the middle Of the
day or on certain days of the week.
Experience is not necessary and
even younger girls, who are attend
ing schools, have been appealed TO
to give what assistance they may to
the commercial world at this unusual
time.
Married Women FIJI Ranks.
Married women and old men are
filling up the depleted ranks of
clerks in the department stores" said
George Ostermyer, advertising mana
ger for Woodward & Lothrop's de-
partment store today "Tha mar
chants are glad to get any help Dos
sible. and many married women are
working few hours each day"
Mr.. Ostermyer explained that IL was
now necessary TO advertise promi-
emily in the columns of the news
papers for help. whereas a few years
ago a little classified advertisement
would bring hundreds OF applicants
for the positions.
There never was a time in the
history OF Washington when help of
every kind was so scarce. This is
due to the great inroads made by the
Government, and there is every indi-
cation that this will continue for
some time" said Charles ]. Columbus,
secretary Of the Retail Merchants As
ISOLATION today.
Need More Help.
From both a patriotic and selfish
standpoint. it is essential that more
employees be obtained for the business
houses of Washington.
"It will be a patriotic duty, as well
as a remunerative activity, for men
and women to rally to the business
colors." said Mr.. Columbus.

CONFESS BLAST PLOT,
MORGAN OFFICE aim
German Prisoners Admit Plan
to Start Panic.

New York, May 2.-Confession was
made in court by Wolf Hirsch, arrest
ed with George Meyringer, both Ger
mans, that they were on their way to
blow up the offices of J. P. Morgan &
Co. with a bomb when intercepted by
the police.
Hirsch supplemented before the
court a confession he is said to have
made earlier to the police that the ex-
plosion of a bomb at the Morgan Of
fees was a part of a scheme to create
a stock market reversal, from which
he and Meyringer could profit fnan-
cially. He told the court he had made
the bomb under the direction Of Mey-
ringer and another man in a labora-
tory at the Roosevelt hospital, where
they were employed. He did not know
anything about the construction of
bombs himself, he said.
He said that Meyringer had induced
him to speculate in Wall street and
had suggested as a quicker way Of
getting profits a scheme to frighten
the stock market. The plan included
blowing up the Morgan Office and the
sending out over tapped telegraph
wires of false news that President
Wilson had been assassinated The
men were held in $4,000 bail EACH
