The springing of another big bomb
plot by terrorists early in the week
has aroused the national government
TO the necessity of rounding up and
disposing of the anarchists who are
running amuck in this country. VIII
liam J. Flynn, new chief of the bureau
of investigation of the department Of
justice, has been given a free hand,
with orders to end anarchy in the Uni
ted States, and his record warrants the
prediction that he will go far toward
doing that very thing. This time the
Reds" sought to kill Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer and other law-enforcement
officials in eight cities of the East.
Cordite bombs were exploded at their
residences but they all escaped death.
One of the conspirators was blown to
pieces by his own bomb in Washing
ton and a Waterman was killed in New
York. The attorney general says extra
legislation is not needed to take care
of these bomb thrOwers and he wishes
the authorities to treat them like other
criminals and not to give the radicals
the chance to say the government is
prosecuting them.

Germans, he made frequent reference
10 the fourteen points. and so did the
Vienna papers when the terms were

clared the terms were cruelty harsh,
and much anger was shown against
the Italians, Czechs and Jugo-Slavs
The people generally were bitterly dis
appointed to find that they were not
being treated much better than the
Germans, and big meeting of protest
was held. The public view was ex-
pressed by Doctor Treichl, a banker,
who said 1.-THE only thing for the Aus
