GEN. WOOD WARNS
OF GERMAN BOMBS
Disguised as Canned Beef and
Are Used to Start
Fires.

CHARLESTON, 8. c.. June ga warn
ing that German agents are using u
small ingeniously constructed bomb for
destroying manufacturing plants was
issued to-day at the office Of Major
Gen. Wood. commanding the South
eastern Department. This formal state
ment was given out:
I'VE have recently received informa-
ton that the Germa ms are sending TO
France agents whose mission is to
cause fires In Establishments engaged in
national work. For this purpose they
are furnished with incendiary bombs,
Of which the following is a description :
The bomb is centimeters in height,
the larger end measuring 91a centme-
ters long by centimeters wide; the
small end centimeters long by 5is
centimeters wide.
The four sides and the top are made
of thin white metal. while the bottom is
composed Of a thin sheet OF cardboard
covered with a light colored varnish. the
whole being covered in printed paper.
On one side are the words, Advance
Special Cooked Beef, F'rigorifco Argen-
tino Central. Buenos Ayres.' with the
picture of an OK. The same words are
on the corresponding side. but without
the picture. On the remaining sides are
instructions for using the (supposed) }
contents, In English. French and Span
ish. printed in white on a blue ground
This box contains hi.''ly infiamma-
BILE powder. the chemical nature of
which has not been determined. To
operate the bomb a special apparatus is
necessary, which within about half an
hour of being set working ignites the
powder contained In the box and sets
fire to the surroundings.
1T Is. OF course. improbable that the
same labels would be used in this coun-
try should the Germans attempt to use
similar machine here. but we COM
municate the above information in case
they should make some such attempt"

ACT TOIMPEACH'
CHICAGO MAYOR
Aldermen Repudiate Him
Criminal Proceedings Also i.
Intimated.

CHICAGO. June 22.-Mayor Thomp-
son and his school board were repudht-
ed by. the City Council to-day in one
OF the most riotous sessions of that
body. The Mayor left the chair after
a deliberate attempt to gavel through
an adjournment. and caused such anger
among the Aldermen that two books
were thrown at him as he walked out
or the door. Then the council took its
affairs in its own hands
1t reconsidsred its confirmation Of the
nine school board members last Monday
and refused to confirm them by a vote
OF IS to %. This was one of several
features Of the meeting. Other develop
ments were:
statement from States Attorney
Hoyne intimating that criminal action
might be brought against the Mayor
for alleged malfeasance In Office.
resolution. introduced by Alder
man Link. demanding that the Mayor
resign.
An order directing the committee
on judiciary to determine whether
legal grounds exist for impeachment
proceedings against the Mayor.
resolution requesting that Jacob
N. Loeb resign from the Board Of
Education. -s-~-.
An order from Alderman A. A. Nc
Cormick directing the Chief OF Police
to remove the fifty policemen sent
to the Board OF Education offices at
the instance of the city administration.
All resolutions and orders, however,
were sent to committees and will be re-
ported on at the next meeting of the
council.
Mayor Thompson's action more than
anything else. caused the Aldermen to
reconsider and refuse TO confirm his
school board slate. From the minute
he took the chair until he was hooted
and shrieked out Of the chamber he
attempted the gavel rule and almost
got away with 1t. The number Of police
men on hand gave the room the aspect
OF prisoners detention camp. They
guarded the doors. the floors and the
galleries.
The administration. some say. threw
up the sponge regarding the contention
that reconsideration was illegal when
the Mayor tried to crack the whip by
refusing to entertain parliamentary mo-
tions and failed. when the council went
along without him.

BRITISH WAIT FOR
u. S. TO AID IN AIR
Poor Policy to Attempt Ger.
man Reprisals at Present.
Special Cable Despatch to The suS

LONDON. June 22.-It is possible that
the British army leaders may be forced
by popular opinion to take some action
in reprisal for the German air raids
over London and the coast, but It ia
conceded in military circles that Il
would Ne poor policy to institute re-
prisals before great surplus OF air
planes could be accumulated over the
number required for military operations
This can come only when Americas pro-
duction OF alrplanes reaches It's maxi
mum efficiency.
When the German airmen raid London
they are under n severe strain only after
they cross the channel and coast line,
while the allied airmen trying to bomb
German towns would be under heavy
fire almost from start to finish, with
the probability OF severe losses. Aviators
believe 1t would be much better to main
tain offensive operations on the ba title
front than to take a chance OF weaken
Ing the army.
Public agitation for the adoption Of
air reprisals against German cities as a
reply TO recent Zeppelin and airplane
raids on Great Britain mas been the sub
ject of several private conferences be-
tween military and political leaders here.
