BOMB IN ROOM
 OF LAWYERS WHO PROSECUTEI.W W. W.

Chicago, March 1-Discovery of a bomb in the federal building has fur nished a mystery on which number of government agents are working to- day. The bomb was found yesterday partly hidden under a pile of rubbish in one of the rooms occupied by law yers in charge of the I. W. w. prose- cution.
 The bomb was a heavy steel cylin- Ger 12 inches long and about two inches in diameter. A long fuse in one end had not been ignited. Ex- perts of a powder company found the cylinder contained a number of metal slugs and an explosive powder. They gave it as their opinion that the ex- plosion of the bomb would have wrecked the entire wing of the fed eral building.

NoRwAIK SCHOOLS TO OPEN.

South NorwaIk, March For the first time since the Christmas hoH- days the schools of the city of Nor walk will open on Monday, March 4 The schools with the exception of the high school and the junior high schools have been closed because Of the lack of coal or other fuel. The schools that have been open have been burning wood at the rate of six cords a day and have had a fuel bill of $60 a day. The reason for the opening of the schools is because the 1S0 day minimum to obtain the state school allowance of about $15,0 900 can be made if the schools open on March and remain open until July 12

Dealing With the Epidemic

Within a few days the world-pan-
demic Of grip has assumed distinctly
more serious proportions in New York
and other cities. There has as yet been
no serious rise in the death rate, but in
the army camps that rate has become
threatening. In week it has risen
from 81 per 1000 to 81 per 1000, and
that is a rise from under five per 1000
month ago. In Massachusetts, we
know, the epidemic reached alarming
proportions and high mortality. 1t is
evident that every possible means should
be taken 10 combat its spread.
Former Health Commissioner DR.. S.
S. Goldwater has issued a sharp criti-
cism of the failure of the present Health
Department to take more active meas
ures. He especially urges the mobiliz-
ing Of the entire medical and nursing
forces Of the city, all social workers and
voluntary aids, with the working out of
zone or block plans, to relieve the over
worked and press into service all pos
sible aids.
1t will be noted that DR.. Goldwater
does not advocate the closing of thea
tres, schools, shops and factories. Nor
does the public health committee of the
Academy of Medicine, nor Surgeon

THEIR vanished dreams wait through
l. the mist, they left the home fires
burning,
To face the shadow out beyond and take
their fighting chance,
And now, in endless marching sweep with
out backward turning,
Their lines are blottnp out the roads
the long white roads Of France
And ghosts of years that used to be before
the final order,
And dreams of years that wait ahead
beneath some friendly sun,
Must fade together through the mist, where
out the shell-swept border
Their goal is rbw the Western front
until the job is DONE
It's sweet enough to dream at dusk Of
eager, wistful faces,
OF eyes that look across the sea to where
the lost track runs
OF maple shadowed lanes that wind
through we'll remembered places,
That come and 60 like startled ghosts
bewildered by the guns.
It's sweet enough to dream and hear the.
lonely night wind calling,
With ghosts of voices blown across the
weary miles between;
To hear them whisper back to you, as soft
rose leaves falling,
Of life where summer days were long
and summer fields were green.
How many years it used to be nobody may
remember,
For marching men have come between
in never ending rine,
And June, arrayed with shrapnel snow, is
bleaker than December,
Where sullen guns amid the mud are
waiting for the sign.
For Fate must gather in its toll and leave
Its legions sleeping,
Where ghosts and dreams must bide
their time until the tale is spun:
Must fade together in the mist where,
through the red dawn creeping.
Their goal is now the Western front
until the job is done.

raine? The Germans do not know
We ourselves do not know. 1t
stands to be debated.
We wish the President had said
to Prince Macmillan of Baden
this: "The peace conditions you
refer to are for discussion between
the American government and its
allies. They will represent our
agreement on the state of the
world henceforth. It is not for you
either to decline or accept those
conditions. We will impose them
upon you. The only thing we will
accept from you is unconditional
surrender"
Germany does not offer to sur
render.
Why should she?
We have not demanded it.

We Mean What?
"War Aims and Peace Proposals"
By Theodore Roosevelt
In The Kansas City Star

it absurd and hypocritical for US to
promise to enter such a league in the
future until this failure is confessed and
atoned for. And let us at once send
Major General Wood and $4,000 men to
aid the Czecho- Slovaks in Siberia and
establish our front we'll to the west of
the Ural Mountains.
Again, the talk of merely giving au-
tonomy to, the subject races of Austria
amounts to betrayal of the Czecho-
Slovaks, the Jugo-Slavs, the Italians and
the Rumanians. The first should be
given their independence and the other
three united to the nations with which
they really belong. Moreover, it is
betrayal Of civilization to leave the Turk
in Europe and fail to free Armenians
and the other subject races of Turkey.
Again, let us define what is meant by
aboishing secret diplomacy. If it means
that the Administration is to renounce
the system Of secret and furtive diplo-
macy which it now perseveres in concern
ing what has happened in Mexico, Hayti
and San Domingo, l heartily agree; but
l do not see why it needs an interna-
tlonal mandate before it tells our people
the truth in these matters Moreover, be-
fore it undertakes a fresh agreement. let
1t explain why for two years it kept
secret from our people the full knowl
edge it had of Germany's conduct and
attitude toward us, including all the mat
ters set forth in Ambassador Gerard's
books. The American nation has never
seen such secret diplomacy practised by
the government as it has seen during
the last five years
1t is evident that before these four
teen points are accepted as the basis for
peace discussion they should be stated
III such straightforward language that
we may understand what they mean. The
prime necessities at present are sim
pllclty of language and the souaring of
deeds with words. The thing we do not
need is adroit and subtle rhetoric which
can be interpreted to mean ANYTHING or
nothing.

Portugal:s Flag

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Since the twelfth century Portugal
has had several national emblems. Up to
the fifteenth century it was always white
flag, either decorated with the Cross. or the
"Qulnas" Give maravedis), or an armillary
sphere, and it was the flag carried by the
great navigators Vasco da Cana to India.
Cabral to Brazil, etc.
The heraldic flag of King John II was
white with red border; these colors were
seen in triumphal course over the two
hemispheres and inspired the greatest per
sonages of Portuguese history. Since then
the red has been more or less retained in
the national flag.
In 1870 the colors were changed to blue
and white; under these coors Pedro "
granted constitution to the Portuguese
nation, and this flag with coat of arms
and CROWN remained the ensign until
October 5, 1910, when successful revolu-
ton overthrow the ancient monarchical re-
glme and established the Portuguese Re.

expression of the autonomy of Portugal.

lie Health Department.. This Is in line
with the advice of DR.. Chaplin, Of Provi-
dence, we'll known authority, and Of
experts generally.
What appears to be urgent are the Wild
est possible inspection and quarantine
of cases and adequate care and seclu-
sion of the victims. No person clearly
showing the disease should be allowed
III shop, theatre or other public or
crowded place, and especially in the cars
and subways.
1t is evident that the figures given
out daily reveal but little the prevalence
of the epidemic. DR.. Copeland says that
so far less than per cent of the city's
population has been affected But even
that would mean near to 100000 cases,
instead of around 10000 reported. And
DR.. Goldwater's belief is that the actual
figure is nearer 10 per cent. which
would mean nearer half a million in
greater New York alone. Either way
it is evident that the onset Of the dis
ease here has, SO far, been relatively
mild. But Massachusetts is a warning
that it may not remain so.
The greatest danger, it is evident from
the army death rate, is from over-crowd-
ing and close contact with active cases.
1t is almost certainly and almost wholly
contact or carrier disease, as most
epidemics are. 1t seems to travel di-
rectly from one person to another. The
way to avoid it is to avoid Contacts"
and keep the nose and throat we'll
sprayed and clean.
In all large establishments physi-
clan should be in attendance in the
morning to spot all possible cases and
send them home. In many quarters such
influenza visits" have become popular
and resulted in much good. DR.. Manages,
of Mount Morris Hospital, points out
that the severe form of the epidemic
has been largely confined to adults of
eighteen and over. That is an ex-
tremely benefcent feature, for it cuts
out nearly one-half of the population.
But it means that it is far more serious
for the active, working part of the COM
munity than other infiuenzas have been.

Lesson: One Theatre, $75O,OOO!

The President started it. In a few
minutes it had developed into bond
buying riot" There was a pandemonium
of subscriptions, whole audience shout
ing frantically to have their names put
down Think what it meant! There are
perhaps forty such theatres in greater
New York as the President attended Fri
day night. 1t may have been an unusual
audience when it became known that the
President would attend. But consider
still the fact that casual theatre crowd
of perhaps 1900 persons could subscribe

and not one very large subscription in
the lot.
Take your pencil: 40 X 0,O00=$3O,-
100000. In one city. In one night.
Say that New York is 10 per cent of
the city population of the country. Re-
peat the dose in the other 80 per cent
and you have s3oo,oOo,Ooo. From thea

1t is time to study it. This is a social
and sociable world. It's units do not live
to themselves alone. Their fellows play
a deep and accrescent role in their lives.
That audience did not buy their bonds
because they had carefully calculated
just what was each individuals share in
this war. They did not think of Az per

premium ON Liberty bonds. They bought
in response to that electric wave of deep
social emotion that big, enthusiastic,

~ UR war aim ought to be uncon-
ditional surrender Of Germany
and of her vassal allies, Austria
and Turkey. We ought not to consider
any peace propositions from Germany
until this war aim has been accomplished
by the victorious arms of our allies and
ourselves.
1t is worthy Of note that the Central
Powers show greedy eagerneSs to
accept the so-called fourteen points laid
down by President Wilson. l earnestly
hope that when the time for discussing
peace proposals comes we shall ourselves
repudiate some of these fourteen points
and that we shall insist on having all of
them put into plain and straightforward
language before we assent to any of
them. Let us remember that Congress
shares with the President the right to
make treaties and that the people are
bound to insist that they, the people, are
in peace treaty is followed by both the
President and the Congress.
For example, what does that one of
the fourteen points referring to the free
dom Of the seas mean? If it means what
Germany interprets it to mean, then
every decent American ought to be
against it. The kind of freedom of the
seas upon which it is really vital to count
is freedom from murder International
law at present condemns exactly the kind
OF ml1rNor which
the case OF the Lusitania and in hun
dreds OF other cases and is still practis-
ing We ought to make her atone heavily
TOR such conduct and explicitly renounce
it before we ever discuss any other kind
Of freedom Of the seas.
Again, we ought to know just what the
President means by freedom of COM
merclal intercourse. If he means that
ne proposes to allow Germany to dump
her manufactures on us without restric-
ton, we ought to be against it. We ought
TO INSIST on keeping in our hands the
complete right to handle our tariff as the
vital interests Of our own citizens, and es
peclally our own workingmen, demand.
again, "Hdl Is meant by the league
OF nations? If it means that GERMANY
Austria, Turkey and Russia, as at pres.
ent constituted, are to have the say as
to Americas future destiny we ought
to be against it. They would treat anv
agreement with US as a scrap of paper
wherever 1t suited their interests, and
we ought to realize this fact. Moreover
we already belong to de facto league
of nations which is a growing concern
Let us stand by our allies before enter
ing into a league with our enemies
Therefore, let us at once declare war on
Turkey. Any such league is of value
only II all its members are willing to
make war on the same offenders, and the
culpabe failure of our government to
make war on Turkey and Bulgaria makes
