A French Port, Nov 25.--Sufferlng
from cold, exhaustion and hunger,
three American naval airmen were
picked up by French patrol boat last
night, after having been lost at sea
for nearly sixty hours.
The three men, in a huge triplane
hyro-airplane, left French base
Thursday morning in search of four
enemy submarines which were re-
ported operating off the coast.
When they failed to return within
the usual time fears were felt for
their safety and other machines were
sent out to search for them. The
searching machines, however. re-
turned after several hours and re-
ported that they had seen no trace of
the missing plane or its crew.
The naval authorities then sent out
a general warning to all allied boats
off the coast and the search for the
Americans was continued throughout
Thursday night, all day and all night
Friday and throughout Saturday with
naval air machines assisting in the
search during the daylight hours.
About dusk Saturday a French pa
troll boat saw the missing machine

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov 25.-Twenty-
four hours of vigorous investigation
has failed to disclose information as
to the identity Of the person who was
responsible for the explosion of a
bomb which killed eleven persons in
police headquarters here last night.
Twenty Italians are under arrest, in
cluding Giuseppe Mazuinni the Ital-
ian who carried the bomb from the
basement of the Italian Evangelical
church to the police station, but no
action has been taken by the police
as the result of the questioning which
the prisoners underwent today.
Aimed at the Church.
The fact that the bomb had been
placed in the basement of the church
and timed to explode when the church
would be crowded, and that consider
able enmity existed between the Rev.
August Guiliano, pastor of the church,
and some unknown persons, has caus-
ed the police to look to that quarter
for a key to the mystery.
Captain of Detectives Sullivan de-
.lared today he believed the bomb
was planted" by persons whose de-
sire it is to break up the religious
services which the Rev. Mr.. Guiliano
is conducting among the Italians.
The casualties which resulted from
the explosion remained at eleven dead
and two injured, no other bodies nav
ing been found when the demolished
room in police headquarters was
searched thoroughly. Many gruesome
sights confronted the searchers and
great crowds of curious persons stood
outside the building anxious to
glimpse the scene.

were said to be connected with the
Bayview riots several weeks ago wher
n religious meeting held by the priest
was broken up, is set for Wednesday,
Rev. Guiltano has stated his decision
to appear as a prosecuting witness
and there is some thought by the
police that the bomb may have been
placed by persons who wished to pre-
vent him and others of his congresa-
ton from testifying against the men
on trial.

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is so
dependent for support. Little else eX-
cept the gaining of this town and of
the wood has had a place in the

The army of the German crown
prince has not given up its efforts t.
overcome the success of the French
troops last week northwest OF
Rheims, where the gradual incursions
into the German line are threatening
Laon. Here the Germans again have
made two violent attacks but theil
efforts Brought them nothing more
than repulse and the additional loss o.
numerous men. Similarly in the re

been worsted in attacks against Gen

In the Italian theater the troops o.
General Diaz are more than holdins

the Austrp Germans from region o

but have been held by the Italian

The fighting along the Piave rive
has been sporadic, but at one place
