italians Threaten Life
Of Milwaukee Attorney

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 27.-Another
bomb plot has been disclosed in Mil
waukee. This was made known today
when a death letter was opened at
police headquarters and the new de-
velopment may lead to the discovery
that a combined plot had been made.
The letter had been written to At
torney Thomas J. Mahon, who de-
Tended the three deputy. sheriffs and
federal agent in the suit started by
former Sheriff f. T. Melms, charging
them with unlawfully disturbing a
peace meeting in Bayview. The let
ter had been mailed from Bayview
Saturday night. 1t was written in
Italian and was signed "Deo" and
said:
Prepare for death. You have been
marked"

a result the commission has declared
that Mr.. Hainer can no more appear

apology is Forthcoming. The apology
to date has not arrived.
Enter Red Ink.
The controversy today resolved it
self into a contest of words and
vigorous poundings upon the hard
wood table in the Office of Commits
sioner Hall. Commissioner Hall ac-
cused Attorney Holmes of having
taken bottle, of red ink before COM
ing to the state house.
On being accused of drinking red
ink, Judge Holmes got red-headed,
so to speak, and shouted. Il came up
here like a gentleman. You have
seen fit to insult me, but I'll be gol
burned if I'll submit anything to you
when you've prejudiced the case
against me-"
The controversy was over all appll-
cation of the Rock Island railroad to
take off two trains before hearing
could be had. Hall refused to do so
intimating that the railroads were
trying to. cut down service in order
to make money, under the guise of
patriotism and conservation of fuel
and equipment.
This started things and though

shouted Holmes.

Gust try it and see what will hap

Don't you say things to me again

Judge Holmes, as she shook his INST

and nobody Else is big enough to, say
'em. I'm not going to come up here

Chairman Hall, but the state of Ne

OUR BOYS GIVEN
WAR CROSSES AND
THANKS OF France
In an Impressive Ceremony
French General Presents
Decorations to Americans
Who WithstoOd Raid.
(By Associated Press.}

With the American Army in
France, Monday, Nov. 26.-An im-
pressive ceremony marked the pres
entation of the French cross to the
American soldiers who withstood the
first German raid early this month.
Fifteen officers and men, cited with
their company by the French general
commanding the sector, were deco
rated today.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the regiment to which the company
which suffered the casualties is at
tached marched to tie top of big
grassy hill. There, under skies
threatening rain and with the cold,
wintry wind blowing, they formed
three sides of hollow square. At
the base of the square the regimental
colors and the Stars and Stripes
cracked in the wind. The regiment
was called to attention as the gen.
eral commanding came up and took
his position in the open side OF the
square.
Congratulates Company.
The general first read the citation
for the whole company, which was
standing near the colors, breaches in
the ranks showing where the men
now prisoners in Germany or in hos
pitfalls had formerly stood. Then he
congratulated the company and pre-
sented the company's citation and
cross to the lieutenant commanding.
Next the three lieutenants stepped
from their positions, saluted and re-
ceived their individual crosses. The
general congratulated each. Next
the noncommissioned officers and
men marched up, were congratulated
on receiving the honor and then re-
.urned to their places in the ranks.
The company lieutenant was given
the cross and citation for corporal
who was unable to leave the hospital
because of severe wound. To the
regimental colonel the general en-
trusted the decorations awarded the
three men killed in the raid, asking
him to see that they were sent to the
next of kin in the United States.
Daniels Opposes Decorations.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Decorations
of any officers or men of the Ameri-
can navy by foreign governments for
war services will be opposed by Sec
retary Daniels. He declared today
that if asked for an opinion he would
advise a strict adherence to the pro-
vision of the constitution which pro-
hibits it.,

Turkestan--the area which feeds all
Russia. This union is extending the
promises to cover the Siberian corn
land.
General Kaledines, holding the
gold reserve and the bread supplies,
is master OF the situation and those
he serves will accept dictation neither
from Kerensky, Lenine nor anybody
else, least of all from Germany.
"The allies may safely admit a
bowing acquaintance with the curious
individualities thrown up from the
depths by internal disturbances, but
for intimate friendship and future
partnership they must look else
where, and in the meantime they must
wait unconcernedly until their old
friends reappear above the present
turmoil"
a Says Document Garbled.
Paris, Nov. 27-Censiderable irri-
tation is shown by the newspapers
over the publication of Russian state
secret documents by the Maximilists,
who are accused Of collecting those
which they think most likely to en-
barrass the allies and supply Ger
many with arguments. The note of
October 9, written by M. Terestchen-
ko, the Russian foreign minister, to
Secretary of Sta,a Lansing, thanking
the secretary for not having had
David R. Francis, the American am
bassador to Russia, associate himself
on behalf of his government with the
step taken by the Italian, French and
British ambassadors in demanding
the constitution OF firm power to
reorganize the Russian army, is con-
sidereG amusing by the Journal Des
Debats.
IF Mr.. Francis did not visit Pre-
mier Kerensky with his three col
leagues. says the newspaper, ut was
only because he received his govern
ment's authorization to do so too
late"
