Working on Two Theories.

Government officials are working on
two theories One is that the bomb had
been planted by crank or an anti
American who sought to blow up the
theater The other is that the device
had been placed in the theater as a pro-
test against expenditure of money for
opera.
Battalion Chief Corrigan of the hre
department. who was on duty in the
'theater, hurried down the aisle as soon
as smoke was noticed. picked up the

Sermons Kept in Background.

by the time a man is back from the
lines he is in no mood to listen to SER
mons. and with rare tact the Y. NJ. C.
A. realizes that and devotes its efforts
first to get that man to laugh, and then
to cheering him up with cinema films,
with songs and with warm, inviting
rooms to rest up In.
British soldiers have come to regard
the Y. NJ C. A. as a necessity Of life.
That is why they are glad to see it
taken up in this country in a business
like way. not as war charity which
was the mistake we made at first.
IF the Y. n. C. A. did not do this
work the government would have to,

yours-would not do ii so we'll"

The bomb was taken for investiga-

Two women who occupied seats neal
where the blaze f1ared up told Hintor

few grains of powder had dropped
from the fuse and ignited. causing the

also is held.

Sum Seems Staggering.

ITO us Englishmen the sum you have
set about raising seems almost staggering.
Apparently there is no obstacle too
great nor any task too tremendous for
you Americans.
Every dollar spent for this cause is
an actual investment in the success Of
the great cause for which we are fight
ing. and believe the Y: NJ. C. A OFFERS
one of the best channels for such i'm
vestment now open"

the active part he is taking as a team

Sergt. W. NJ. Bristow of the Royal
Army Medical Corps told of the Y. NJ

the street with it.
I'VE could find no caps about 1t nor
could we learn that any one had heard
a detonation." said Corrigan. The first
thing we noticed was the smoke and
the sulphurous odor that permeated the
theater.
The device Is made from a piece Of
gas pipe about eight inches long and
about two inches in diameter. One end
Is stuffed with paper. One end also
may have contained a fuse, but 1t is

Firemen at the engine house, where
the gas pipe was taken. said it con-
tained black powder and guncotton.

Purpose Not Disclosed.

in the theater. 1 am rather of the
opinion that it was the act of some de-
luded person or crank. AS near as 1
am able to determine it was not a real
bomb. but of the variety used by NOV
ing picture concerns to make a smudge.
ut is barely probable that some dis
gruntled German who objects to our
program of eliminating German operas
took this method of showing his disap-
prevail. / am rather inclined to dis
count this theory, as we have received
no protests in letters or otherwise. In
fact, most of our German patrons of
