Within the shadow Of the great Capitol

Dol throughout the world of real democ-
racy. Of hope, of faith and common
refuge for the oppressed of the globe,
songs Of anarchial elements have been
sung.
Beneath the folds Of the Stars and
Strips. which. flying today in the far
corners of the earth, signify to all peo-
pies progress under the guidance OF
benevolent and sympathetic government.
not ''Old Glory but another anthem
has been sung. 1.-THE Red Flag" the
song of anarchy, social. industrial and
commercial chaos throughout the world:
ruthless slaughter have been committed
with acclaim and with the chant:
with heads uncovered, swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim.
The song will be our parting hymn
Sing Pledge to Disorder.
American citizens, surrounded by
healthy conditions which know no equal
throughout the civilized world, carried
away by the ranting pleas of dishevel
ed minds, have sung with gusto this
pledge to death and disorder, this in
suit to the sacred traditions Of most
is a minority which speaks and carols
anarchial notes in open defiance to get
order.
1t is an insidious, scheming, be-
smirching minority that today strives
to mislead and misguide intelligent
American opinion into the belief that
the vicious cure adopted by Lenin and
Trotsky for European social and eco
nomic conditions can be applied to
America.
1t is minority of citizens that to-
day would grasp the torch in one
hand. the saber or pistol in the other
and tread the highways and byways
giving vent to all the vicious instincts
that now are suppressed by law and
order.
The sentiments reflected are not So
cialism, not preachments in advance
ment Of the cause of labor, but are
in advocacy of bloodletting of broth
ers that vicious minds may grasp
present governmental reins for the
sake Of perpetuating their own phys
ical welfare. Once in power it would
be ITO hell with our dupes." and to
hell the people would go If they fol-

'over the Top Celebration in View

All Washington is planning for the
"over-the-top", celebration in the vic
tory loan drive. set for Thursday
night. To make the celebration pos
sible 1t is necessary that every Wash
1ngtonian who Is contemplating sub
scribing to the victory loan shall
dig down into his jeans Immediately
and purchase his bonds. It is neces-
sary that every WashinRtonian.
whether he has hitherto contemplated
buying victory bonds or not, shall
do the same thing.
It is no small job to raise approx
mately S10,000.00O in bond subscrip
tions, and have the subscriptions com
pleted, or paid in part, in four days.
That is the task the central liberty
loan committee has set itself. and
1t needs the backing Of every pa
triotic American in the District of
Columbia. The committee believes
that the capital Of the nation should
set the pace for the rest of the
country. The report is that the loan
is tagging. in many places. It has
been tagging here.

AMERICAN ORIGIN
Of BOMBS SHOWN
Governments Analysis Will
Give Clue to Material in
Death Machines.
EXPERT WORK DISCLOSED

Bombs addressed to prominent men
in the country and intercepted at
the New York post Office on May
day were of expert American manu-
facture and had no German origin,
Clarence Hall. chief explosive expert
Of the bureau of mines, announced
after an analysis of samples here to-
day.
Details of Construction.
Several of the bombs were brought
to this city for examination. Their
business part, it was shown, was two
inches of gelatin dynamite. Ihls
was packed in the bottom of the con-
tainer.
Above this were three detonators.
They were made of cotton wadding
with a little slug of lead perched
upon the top. On the lead was a mix
ture of potassium chlorate and sugar.
and the initial end of the explosive
was a bottle of sulphuric acid. held
in place on it's bottom by brass
clutch plate. Putty joined the top or
the bottle with top Of the container
If the container top was removed Dy
a twist the acid would. trickle down
into the mixture of potassium chic
rate and sugar, causing flame, wMcn
and reach dynamite, starting the
death work.
A thorough analysis is being made
of the dynamite ingredients. The
formulas Of different American manu-
facturers are known to the bureau
of mines. When the definite formula
is discovered it will narrow down the
field of possible purchase of the ex-
plosive. Investigators are using this
method as one of the main leads in
the search for the originators.
Orders to 5000 Agents.
Fifteen Thousand agents of the bu-
reaN of mines scattered throughout
the United States, haye received
orders to apply themselves to the in
vestigation and make reports Of prog.
ress direct to the bureau. Most OF
these agents are officials in state and
municipal positions which bring them
into contact with users OF explosives; o;piastns.
of the bomb plot for May day has
