A year ago people were reading with exas-
perating frequency of attempts, some Of them
successful, to blow up our factories, bridges
and other important utility structures. There
was clamor for somebody to do something, and
the secret service did in time show some ac-
tivity. Now the federal bureau of explosives
takes cognizance of the fact that there have
been thefts of dynamite from magazines belong
ing to contractors here and there throughout
the land and is moving to put sharp restric-
tons on all users of dynamite. This is good
thing to do and it would have been an exceed
ingly good thing to have done year ago.

General Maurice says that there is no rea-
son to believe that the Metz Notifications, about
which so much has been written these many
years, are impregnable to modern offensc, nor
indeed more difficult to reduce than some of the
defenses already demolished by siege guns in
the war. Namur was regarded as triumph in
defensive fertilization, but it was reduced with
comparative ease. Modern weapons when con
centrated on a fixed object mean practical OBJ
liberation to it. Take Metz2 It can be done.

THREATENING LETTERS
NO OFFENSE, SAYS OFFICIAL.

Washington, May 3--If the moru-
ing mail should bring a letter from
your worst enemy threatening bodily
violence at the first opportunity and
also informing you that he intended
to burn your house, barn, corn crib
and other buildings, all you could do
would be to smile sickly and pray for
the police to be around when he
showed up.
For, under the present law, accord
ing to the Attorney General, It is NO
offense to send threatening letters
through the mails unless in further
ance of scheme to defraud, or as a
means of accomplishing extor.ion.
Letters threatening injury to life
or property" says his report, may
be sent with impunity. Obviously this
should not be So

GOING OVER THE TOP

Atlanta, Ga, May ACCORDING to
serve banks Of the nation on the first
reports from the twelve federal re-
morning Of the Third Liberty Loan
campaign, more communities reported
ever the top from the Atlanta district
right on the jump than from any
ether.
This information has just been re-
ceived by w. G. Wardlaw, chairman
Of the Liberty Loan Executive COM
mittee for the Sixth district in a tele-
gram from the Treasury Department
and has caused much satisfaction
among those who have been directing
the campaign.
There have been several reasons
for the majority of the Atlanta dis
Itrict subscriptions being reported or
tie final week of the campaign, thus
keeping the district at the bottom O.
the list during the greater part OF thu
drive. Those in close touch with tht
situation have felt that this should b.
no reflection on the district.
That the people Of the territory arr
quite as patriotic as their fellow citi

by the added fact, just announced
that at the very beginning, before tn

GERMANS HELD BACK Jew
ISH CHARITY FUND.

Zurich, Aug. PA person who
recently arrived here from Germany
states that in the occupied Russian
territories there has been serious
strife between Jewish organizations
and the military authorities, s,-rs .i
In order to ameIorate the terrible
position of the Jews in Poland and
Lithuania societies of German Jews
collected large sums of money,
which were sent for distribution to
the sufferers last year. The military
authorities refused, however, to part
with the money for several months.
When the Jewish organizations
in Germany learned what had oc-
Cured heated protest was adj
dressed to the Government, which
was made to understand that Ger
man Jews would make reprisals UNI
less matters were rectifed The
Government then ordered the con-
fscated money to be released and
distributed among the famished
Jews.
The affair has produced very
painful impression among the whole
of the Jewish population of Ger

JEWS AND MOSLEMS IN
PALESTINE.

A significant example of the good
relations of Moslems and Jews in
the Holy Land was afforded by
little ceremony which took place
recently in Jerusalem. DR.. Weiz-
mann, head of the Zionist Commits
sion to Palestine, had been so for
tunate as to be able to acquire in
Cairo the historic copy Of the Koran
belonging to the town of Adrianople,
and he formally handed it over to
the Grand Mutt of Jerusalem The
Moslem community was much
touched by this mark of consider
alton on the part of another religion
and acknowledged the gift with
cordiality and enthusiasm.
