taking over of the mines by the gov

insure an equitable distribution OF
the product throughout the country

resulting in one hundred per cent.

Starting on January Lancaster

HUNT BOMB SUSPECTS
Summary Action Is Promised by
the District Attorney.
Bomb Was Intended for President
Wilson, U. s. Official Suspects
Was Expensive Machine.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Vigilantly follow
ing every possible clew, government.
state and city secret service and po-
lice officials vigorously pushed their
investigation into every possibility
that might bring to justice the person
or persons responsible for the death
bomb exploded in the Adams street
entrance to the federal building, kill
Ing four persons and injuring 30
more.
A sinister thought was injected into
the investigation Of the outrage when
q government official said:
Suppose this bomb was not meant
for this occasiOn?"
"What do you mean?" asked the re.
porter.
''Well, indications are that it was
an expensive, powerful bomb; that II
took long time to manufacture" re-
piled the official. "The general belief
last week was that President VIII.
son was coming to Chicago on Mon
day to view the Labor day parade
and to see the opening Of the war ex.
position"
The hunt for the murderer who
planted the federal building bomb,
which killed three men and woman
and injured 80, has narrowed down tt
q definite line. Within a few hours the
identity Of the perpetrator or perpe
traitors Of the outrage may be known
In the hands Of the police was a mar
believed to have a direct connection
with the crime John w. Wilson, I. w
w. leader, 1t was learned, was ques
toned in Chief Alcock's office. He was
brought from the federal building te
the city hall. Later Wilson was locked
up in cell.

JUST SIMPLE COMMON SENSE
Really Nothing to Be Alarmed About
When Speaker Uses Pretentious
Word "PsychoIogy"

One way to get an audience nova
days is to call the subject of ones
talk Psychology" A Harvard pro-
fessor recently amazed a convention
Of clothing manufacturers and deal
ers by delivering an address upon this
topic, in which he laid down several
principles about the effect of clothing
upon the wearer, and the surprise of
his hearers was due to the discovery
that what the learned man had digni-
fed by long word was nothing more
than what more commonly passes for
common sense. A good many of the
things he said were already known to
them, if they had stopped to think.
When he placed them under the head
of psychology they sat up and took
notice, says the Oregonian.
He said, for example, that the we'll
dressed man is 10 per cent more eff
cient than the poorly dressed man. He
said that clothes that do not fit pre-
vent the wearer from doing his best.
Cleanliness promotes self-respect. Self
respect is contagious, like confidence.
The man who does not think well of
himself is unlikely to win the good
opinion Of others. Comfortable cloth
ing, made Of good material, well brush
ed, was the foundation of the super
structure, he said. He was talking to
hard headed business men, and they
believed him, because their own expe-
rience showed his statements to be
true.

YANKS DRIVE HUNS BACK
Enemy Put to Flight in No Mans
Land in Lorraine

Enemy Put TO fllght IN NO Mans
Land in Lorraine.
With the American Forces in Lor-
raine, Sept. 6.--German patrols made
a sortie from their lines following sew
eral hours of shelling of the village Of
Frapelle. They evidently were plan
ming on being able to take prisoners.
An Amuerican lieutenant saw the en-
emy party coming and proceeded into
No Mans land with scouts in an at
tempt to surround the Germans The
enemy was put to flight, leaving two
prisoners in the hands Of the Ameri-
cans. No casualties were suffered by
the Americans. In the bombardment
Of Frapelle the enemy used about g.
600 shells, including many gas projec-
tiles, upon the town, which they re-
Gently lost to the Americans.
American forces took prisoners in
the Woevre, where the enemy artillery
and trench mOrtars were active.
(The Germans have shown marked
nervousness on the Toul region, con-
stantly seeking information as to units
opposite them by attempting to take
prisoners.)

HapIess C!aribeI's Encounter.

The sun was slowly sinking in the
usual place. Claribel Skippenhop, over
whose youthful head scarce thirty-sev-
en- summers had lightly flown, sat in a
regulation-size hammock, idly swinging
her foot to the tune Of "Keep the
Home Liars Squirming," played on a
Hottentot bagpipe ~ miles away.
Suddenly thought seized her. She
tried to scream and break it's hold. She
succeeded in both. Probably one and
fifteen eight-milliOnths of a cubic
second was allowed to elapse between
her scream and the time the thought
was covering at her feet.
"Avaunt," she cried. 'Don't you
know this is my thoughtless day? Now,
dOggOne it, I'll have a headache"
Then she went back to swing her
foot and the hammock.

HERE'S ANOTHER FROG STORY
New Workers. Experience Seems to
Corroborate Tale Told by the
kaiser's Press AGENT.

This Is the time of the year when
fish stories are permissible, SO the kai-
ser's press agent cannot be blamed for
pulling that one about the frogs croak-
ing in such deafening fashion that
they enabled the Germans to bring up
| their batteries without being discov-
cred by the allies. Hank Newman, who
invented the famous snapper" elixir,
partly bears out the statement made
by the Hun war correspondent. He
knows all the habits Of the Johnny
Crapauds and he declares that they can
make some noise when they begin to
croak. 81 don't know anything about
those bloodthirsty frogs Of the Chemin
des Danes, however" explained Mr..
Newman. "But down in Ozone Park,
+ where live, there is frog pond, and
hundreds of them live a quiet, peace
full life. In fact, the frogs down my
way are musical, for they lull the ma
tive to sleep. There is one big fellow,
however, who has q high pitched voice
named him Caruso because he war
bles louder than any in the flock. For
some time CaruSO and me were quite
ehummy. AS soon as he heard my
alarm clock go off at five In the morn
ing, he would come to my window and
sing roundelay, which indicated that
he was hungry. That was when l
had daylight work. Now I'm On nights
and don't get to bed until three in the
morning. And for the pastthree weeks
Caruso and his entire chorus made
sleep impossible for me, so found 1t
necessary to move far from the frog
pond."-New York Sun.

Bolshevik Mob Loots Consulate
at Moscow.
Details of "Search" of Embassy at
Petrograd and Killing of At
tache Told.

London, Sept. 6.-The British con-
sulate at Moscow has been attacked,
according to the Central News.
Details of the search" of the Brit
fsh embassy in PetrOgrad last Satur-
day are given in an Amsterdam dis
patch from Moscow, quoting the news
paper Pranda. Forty persons, for the
most part British subjects, were ar
rested, the newspaper states.
The reason for the action, it says,
was that the Moscow authorities had
received report that the counter
revolutionists, Savinkoff and Flo
nenko, were hiding in the embassy.
Accompanied by scouts, the account
continues, commissioner, M. Hitler,
went to the embassy and, proceeding
to the first floor, was met by shots
which killed one Of the scouts and
wounded another
A fight ensued in the corridor, and
the scouts were obliged to fire, It is
declared, and Attache Francis Cromie
was killed
According to the foreign Offices
advices, Captain Cromie opposed the
bolshevik troops and killed three SOL
diers with his own hands.
1t is feared that similar outrages
will be committed against the French
embassy at Petrograd. Precautionary
measures have been taken, the for
eign office says, and some French SOL
diers already have arrived at Petro-
grad. The bolshevik are reported to
be encouraging the populace to mas

urged to begin classification immedi-
ately. Questions relating to. the order
OF call and to the time Of drawing
General CrOwder set aside In discuss
ing the subject, leaving only the inti-
nation that these would be announced
shortly.
"The necessity Of filling the October
acquisitions either in part or in whole
out of the electives to be obtained un-
der the new classification" General
Crowder said, after explaining that a
few class l men from the August "a
registration would be available to f1ll
early October calls. "makes 1t neces-
sary to look forward to substantial
speeding up in the work Of the local
boards at that stage Of the operation
and indeed from the very beginning of
the task. It Is imperative that the
work of the boards proceed much fast
er than year ago. In every possible
way steps will be taken to make it
possible for this speed to be attained"
To accomplish this, General Crowder
said, local boards are asked to see that
the return of the cards from registra-
tion Is as prompt as possible and there
after that the process of assigning
series numbers to the cards is
FASTENED. Accomplishment Of this
work insist Of ten days now is asked,
while In 1917 it took nearly thirty
days. It may be possible to hold the
drawing on October 2, General Crow
der explained but it cannot be start
ed until the lists Of serial numbers
have been completed by all boards

Equivalent of Forces Brought From

Germany is still Strong despite her
