Mrs. Wilson Grccts Women.

WASHINGTON, July 4--This In
dependence day message was given
out today to the women of America
by Mrs. Wilson, wife of the presi-
dent.
THE greeting which | am glad TO
send to the women of our beloved
country who are playing so large
and noble a part in this day OF our
supreme test can have but Il single
thought for its theme---the thought
that is in all our hearts.
'"Tlat thought is that we are sus-
taining. Not a government, but the
very principle OF our nations life.
The morale OF the war is in the
thoughts and aspirations and hopes
of the women as well as of the men.
They stand at the very center Of
every issue involved, as the men do,
and in that sense the war is theirs
1t is war for what is humane and
right. They can put all that is best
of them into the struggle. And
they are doing so.
II deeply admire them, and am
proud to stand with them. A new
glory attaches to the fourth Of July
because we are striving to make the
world free

 FEDERAL BLDG.

While this paper had word that there. had been arrests of persons charged with complicity in the bomt ing of the Chicago federal build ing, probably through stress of war news, our correspondent inadyert- ently overlooked sending the news of the occurrence through The Portland Telegram for Sept. 4, gives the following account:
 Chicago. Three persons were killed and 75 injured this after noon by the explosion of bomD in the Adams steet entrance to the SIS, 100000 federal building.
 William D. Haywood, convict ed head of the Industrial Workers o' the World, and 8 lawyer were believed to have been in the build ing before the United States circuit cour of appeals attempting to ob- tain bonds when the explosion Oc- cured.
 Hundreds of windows Were shat tered in the neighboring structures and some of the injuries occurred in hese. Policemen threw 8 cordon around the building as quickly as possible and compelled those who would have rushed from the buildin to submit to examination. It was rumored that the perpetrator of the deed had been caught, but this wAs not confirmed at the time.
 Shops and offices in the neigh borhood were filled with injured. Ambulances were summoned from Tarious Police stations and a de- tachment of firemen began clearing away the debris. The great granite entrance was wrecked.
 One theory was that the suitcase containing the bomb was sent by parcel post, as this department is near the scene of the explosion.

 PEACE BY VICTORY

Paris, Wednesday, Sept. IS. The peace with victory sentiment has absolutely crushed" all efforts to promote an international Socialist conference at Berne, said A. M. Si- mons, chairman of the American So sialist mission to Europe, to the Associated Press today on his arri- val in Paris from Italy.
 The working classes" he added, seem to be satisfied that 8 mili- .ary victory is the only victory possible; that a conference with the German Socialists would be of no avail, and that peace through ne eotiation is an impossibility. The re- suits of the recent offensive have stifffened immeisely the morale Of the working groups, making them determined to carry out the war until 8 decisive victory. Even the redical groups have changed their attitude about peace by negotia- ton and now are unit in demand ing the crushing of the German military party" .r
