Four persons were killed and more

the explosion of bomb in a crowded

to the l. W. W. Raids on two head

of employees drawing relatively low
pay.
The garnisheeing of railroad en-
ployees is forbidden by Director Gen
eral McAdoo as a means of eliminating
much legal work heretofore necessary.
It is made plain, however, that en-
ployees who do not pay their debts
will be summarily discharged. This

partial confirmation has been given

Belgium, to Bonn, Germany.
Americans who lose their lives in
the war abroad will be buried there
