WAR Gas KILLS
FRENCH CATTLE
Death Still Turks in Wake
Of Poison Fumes Used
In Battle.

Paris. June 3-Poison gas used in
the war is still having its deadly ef-
feet. though the fumes have long
evaporated.
The authorities in Alsace have been
mystified for some time as to the
cause for hundreds of horses and
other animals perishing suddenly
while grazing in the Lutterbach re-
gion.
Specialists now have disclosed that
the animals were poisoned by the
grass over which poison gas had
been widely spread during the war.
The gas. resting on plants. turned
them poisonous. but the vitality of
the plants was not affected.

Can YouDecipher This?

One clew which might lead to the apprehen-
sion of accomphces of the Bolshevik agent was
torn scrap of paper found in a hedge by a
Herald reporter near Attorney General Palmer's
home yesterday. The paper contained figures
which probably represented the expense account
of the dead man.
Though blood stained and torn practically TO
ribbons, the paper gives mute evidence that
probably some person higher up in the ranks of
the anarchists requires an accounting from his
agents.

ALLIES WILLING
TO CHANGE PACT
IF HUNS ACCEPT
Germans Must Go on c.ecord
In Favor of Principles
Now Part of Treaty.
LOOKS FOR REJECTION
President Ebert Makes Pre-
diction; Wilson Confers
With American Experts.

Paris. June 3.-Before the allies reply
to the counter proposals. the Ger
mans may be asked indirectly to so
on record as to whether they intend
to sign the treaty. 1t was learned au-
thoritatiyely today.
II the Germans express a willing
ness to accept the principles estab-
lished in the present document. then
notifications will be made, it was
said But if they say they will not
accept the basic principles. the allies
will consider notifications useless.
President Ebert. through the press,
predicted yesterday that the national
assembly will reject the peace terms
unless they are modified. says a Berlin
dispatch. The Ebert government has
ordered suppression of a military cir
euIar asking the German people il
they are ready for armed resistance
AGAINST the peace conditions.
Americans Suggest Changes.
President Wilson conferred today
with American commissioners and
Experts regarding proposed modifi-
cation of the economic section of the
German treaty. The suggested
changes were outlined authorita-
lively as follows:
First-Fixing of a definite sum
which Germany must pay in repara-
tion. to be s25,OO0.O0O. 900 to $4,000
300. 900.
Second-Clarifying of the clause
regarding powers of the reparations
commission as to issuing DEGREES
governing German internal affairs.
Thrce-AllowinS four years in
ftead of two for payment of the
trst 5000. .O0o. 900. of reparations.
Four-Making provisions ena-
bling Germany to acquire merchant
shipping by lease. charter or ether
wise.
Germany ns Mandatory.
American economic experts ad-
vocate that Germany be given man.
datories over her former East Africa
colonies to assist her to meet her
financial obligations.
The subject was taken up in con-
sequence of Premier Lloyd Georges
proposal that upper Silesia be re-
turned to Germany for economic
reasons. The American experts.
however. suggested that Poland re-
tain upper Silesia and the Germans
be given supervision over certain of
her East African possessions.
The President instructed the
American experts to meet their
British and French conferees and
draw up final conclusions for sub
mission to the big four.
Wilson. Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau now are agreed on the advis-
ability of modifying the treaty. The
question now was said to be the de-
gree of modification necessary and
when it should be done.
Lloyd George favors changing the
terms before compelling the Ger
mans to sign. Clemenceau was re-
sported to insist that the present
treaty should be signed and be re-
opened for notifications deemed es-
sential.

The Washington herald., 1919-06-04

The police had failed al a late
hour last night to find a clue to
the identity of the would-be as
sassin who met his death by his
own internal machine at the resi-
dence of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer, PISA R street
northwest Monday night.
Department of Justice agents
and almost every man of the de-
tective bureau of the Metropolitan
police were busiIy engaged all OF
yesterday running down every
theory that might possibly reveal
the identity OF the Bolshevik
agent.
Notes I'm Alien Language.
One article on which the police are
bssing their case is a red leather
wallet containing several notes in
foreign language, a score OF cancelled
stamps. a postcard picture of a boy.
probably nine years old. and a blank
sheet OF paper.
Maj. Pullman refused 70 divUlge the
contents of the notes or 20 tell in what
language they were written. but the
beRei is current that they were in
RussiSn.
Detective Sergeant Guy BurIin-
game left Washington last night for
Philadelphia. with instructions to
run down accomplices OF the terror
list if he had to cross the ocean.
Maj. Pullman said nothing could
be given out at present relative to
the affair. but remarked that his
men arr not being sent to out-of-
town points to attend burlesoue
shows. Apparently the police de-
partment is working on the assump-
tion that the anarchist did not come
to Washington alone.
Try 10 Piece Body Together.
At the morgue last night a scene
was enacted that suggested a case
handled by detectives famed in nc-
tion. when the parts OF the dead
mans body were pieced together in
an effort TO bring out some die
tinguishing marks that might es-
tablish his identity.
Parts of the scalp were mounted on
a form and the bits Of torn flesh were
assembled by surgeons in an effort
to bring out the features. Their ef-
forts were unsuccessful
The few parts OF the scalp that were
found indicated that the man was
careful of his personal appearance
yet showed conclusively that he waA
not an American. The hair was long
and coarse, such as usually charsc-
terizes Slavonic people.
Fragments of flesh and parts Of
limbs. when assembled. led the police
to believe that the man was OF large
build. basing their assumption on the
fact that the limbs were heavily
muscled and the bones larger than
the average.

ing. according to officers of the
Secret Service.
Divided Only on Methods.
The whole program credited to
the combination of Bolshevists. L.
w. w, anarchists and Socialists is
predicated upon the theory that
labor and capital have nothing in
common. Destruction OF capital
and capitalists mean the elevation
of labor. the antis believe, and the
factions differ only in method.
The more conservative believe their
object can be attained industrially-
by the starvation of capital. The
direct action" contingent, following
the teachings of Lenine and Trotsky,
believe in the bomb and the torch.
The campaign for destruction has
been well financed and well organ
ized. The exact sources of money
used have not been definitely traced,
but it is said to be sent from many
parts of the world by Bolshevist lead
ers determined to seize the reins of
American government and demon
strate their theories in a land not
impoverished by war. -.
Rich Pickings Tempt Them.

of government Is to grab what they
want, and when that has been used,
