ONE PLOT AFTER ANOTHER.

Editor Journal:
Last week it was the Baltimore cal.
amity and this week it is in Pennsyl
vania.
Ever since the kaiser and his cohorts
brought this terrible conflict upon the
world it has been one plot after an
other. Up to the time we were forced
into the conflict everything imaginable
was done to involve us with other ma
tions and ever since we were obliged
to enter into the war, there has not
been a solitary thing that human mind
or even satan himself could conceive
but what has been put into action by
the kaiser. Uncle Sam has a horde of
detectives, but it is impossible to thwart
all the dirty schemes planned and paid
for by and through kaiserism, and car
ried out by his spies in the United
States and they have became bold for
when they are detected they are sim
ply interned during the war and fed by
Uncle Sam. We have due respect for
the prisoners of both sides and think
they should be we'll treated but for the
dirty ours that are carrying out the
kaiser IS pernicious propaganda in the
United States no true American citizen
can refrain from feeling the utmost
contempt, and any one of the lives
they have been the means of destroying
is of more consequence than all this
pusillanimous horde. For ordinary tral-
torious offenses it might be well to in
tern until after the war and then ship
them to the kaiser, with the understand
ing that they should never again set
foot on American soil, but as for the
spies and those who are destroying lives
and property in the United States when
convicted there should be no food time
or money wasted, but the most severe
under the law should be inflict-
ed and some of this abominable work
would soon cease. Treat them as Ger
many treats spies from other nations.
The mothers who have sons in military
service should have the first opportunity
to become the firing squad and do not
believe the fathers or officers would !
need be called upon. When Uncle Sam
gets ready there will be something do
ing in Europe regardless of the kaiser $ |
dirty work here. The writer's parents ,
we're both born and raised in Germany, /
and I think thew were fine people (as
no doubt the bulk of the German people
are), and if they were living now, /

MASTER BOMB
is INVENTED. BY
AMERICAN BOY

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IA
bomb pronounced by ordnance experts
as an absolute Success and to be the
most deadly known, was invented by
Testers P. Barlow, of Pennsylvania. a
first class electrician, while working
at the frankfort Arsenal The bomb
was displayed in the house today by
Representative John @. Tilson, mem
Der Of the house military affairs COM
mittee. Mr.. Tilson said Barlow had
experimental with the aerial bomb
from February. to September, 1915, at
Frankfort, and experts had declared
the bomb was effective and would
explode six feet above the ground. 1t
is now being manufactured, and will
be used by the army and navy.
The bomb explodes horizontally,
said MIR. Tilson, and with terrific
force. The fragments go in every iii.
reetion. The model have here WORKS
only on land. II it strikes water it
does not NeFs. They are developing
one to drop on submarines. l have
seen the drawing. 1t is on the same
principle, excepting its nose. There
is a timing device in this new one
that can be set to let it go at any depth
below the surface of the water before
it explodes, SO that if it hits any solid
substance On or below the surface OF
the water it VITA explode instantly
but if it is simply going down through
the water the machinery will set it
off at the designated depth.
Dropped from Any Height
The one for the use in land war
fare will explode when within five or
six feet Of the ground, Ii makes no dit
ference from what. height it is drop

1t gets within certain distance Of the
ground II fires. y
ttone was exploded at the Sandy
Hook proving ground. They were
afraid to drop it from an aeroplane
there. 1t is dangerous to drop it with
in a mile Of where anybody lives, and
you cannot be quite as accurate from
an aeroplane as you desire. So the
testers suspended IL at the proper dis.
lance above ground snd detonated it
by an electric spark"
Mr.. Tilson said the fearful destrue-
tiEeness OF the exploding bomb was
such that il is difficult to test it in the
thickly populated regions of the east.
He said a large tract of ground had
been recently selected for the next
test, ID.
J. Lester p. Barlow, inventor of the
bomb, is a native of. Pennsylvania, who
enlisted several years ago as a coal
passer IN the navy and developed into
a first class electrician. Barlow was
at one time in charge OF Villas aero,
plane squadron but returned to the
United States when the break came
between this government and Villa.
He is now employed in the making OF
these bombs by an arms company To-
Gated In Connecticut.
Mr.. Tilson recently exhibited to the
house various makes Of machine guns,
rifles and projectiles. He explained
additional types today, but devoted
most of his speech to the Barlow bomb.
