GERMAN INTRIGUE IN RUSSIA FAILS, WASHINGTON HEARS This Is News From PetrO- grad on Eve of Departure
 Mission Headed by
 MT. Root

N,.sAAngton, May 15-On the eve of the departure of the American commission to Russia, the state department has re. ceived advices from Petrograd that the German government is not meeting with success in it's effort through intrigue and propaganda to break down Russian pro- visional government and bring Russia to separate peace or lessen ner mfritary effectiveness.
 Hope is felt here that the provisional government, which already has sur- mounted many obstacles, not only will stand firmly by it's understanding with her allies that there shall be no sepa- rate peace, but will continue to prose- cute with vigor it's plans for setting up permanent democratic government and rehabilitating the country
 SINISTER REPORTS
 To meet sinister misrepresentation of the purpose of President Wilson in dis- patching the mission headed by Ellhu Root to Russia, it was authoritatively stated today that the mission contenl- plates no interference in the thermal af- fairs of the new born republic, nor effort to sway the judgment of the Russian peo- pie as to which faction shall control. There are just two objects to be served to convey to the Russian people the high sense of qualification with which the gov- ernment and people of the United States have witnessed the sudden transformation of an ancient despotism into a republic, and like the commissions from London and Paris and the one soon to come from Petrograd. to render any helpful service possible The American government will

Bomb Explodes in
Court House at Boston;
Two Men Killed

Boston, March 16.--Two persons
were killed by an explosion in the
Suffolk county court house late to-
day. The explosion occurred in a
wash room on the second floor of the
building. A big hole was torn in the
floor. A police official said it was the
explosion of bomb.
The two dead men were believed
from pieces of their clothing picked
up to have been soldiers. Their bodies
were torn to bits. Court Officer Rich
ard Murphy, who was nearby, was
struck by flying metal but was not
dangerously injured.
Judge Loring was holding a session
of the superior court in a room sd-
joining that in which the explosion
occurred.
The police admitted that their
present theory was that there had
been a premature explosion OF a
bomb or bombs while in the hands Of
two men who were carrying them to
the court with murderous intent. This
theory would place the responsibility
on the men who were killed.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Rome, March s.-Itaiy will be able
to redeem its war bonds to the last
lire through the earnings of the new
industrial enterprises developed by
the war, according to Minister OF
State Luigi Luzzati, Italy's best
inown hnancier. To correspondent
Of the Associated Press he said:
Italy is far richer than strangers
give it credit for. 1t is striking
fact that we have surprised ourselves
during the struggles Of this war. In
time of danger we have discovered
capacities which have astonished US,
particularly in our industries. We have
now operating more than 1000 fac
tories for war materials employing
about 100000 workers. Americans
know how saving are the Italians who
go to them. Therefore, it may not
astonish them to know that in war
time our savings banks are actually
increasing their deposits, despite the
heavy popular subscriptions to our
war loans. ......... ...

debts, punctually; no one more than
we have a stricter idea of the day

stitutes the financial honor of peo-
pie, an honor which should be as un-
