John J. Pershing having given their
personal endorsement of the move
ment and good wishes for a big sue
cess; and the accounts of the nation
al organization are audited at reg
ular intervals by a registered ac-
countant.
The pastors of the Helena churches
have been invited to emphasize the
Boy Scout movement at their services
next Sunday, preliminary to the drive
for associate members which will start
on the following day. Chairman Hep

tees and teams, and expects that the
drive in this county will be finished in
couple of days.
Returned service men are asked in
the national committee to interest
themselves in the movement to the
extentspossible.
In telegram to State Chairman
Goza, Mr.. McAdoo said that "plans
have gone too far to permit of defer
ring campaign for associate members
until later date; local Boy Scout Of
ficials have privilege of postponing
campaigns for local work, but not for
associate members of the national
council"

BOMB THR0WERS SPREAD
TERROR THROUGHOUT U. s.
Several Explosions Take Place ir
Eastern Cities-One Anarchist
Blown to Bits.

Washington, June 3.-Department
of justice agents and police through
the country today were hunting the
organized bands of anarchists who
last night launched what they called
an attempt to overthrow the govern
ment by assassinations with high ex-
plosive bombs government officials
and prominent men opposed to the
spread of organized lawlessness.
Explosions took place in Washing
ton, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Newton
vile, Mass, Boston, Philadelphia,
Paterson, N. j., and New York. None
of the men for whom the bombs were
intended were hurt, but one man, a
watchman in New York, was killed,
several persons were injured, build
ings were wrecked, and in Washing
ton one of the plotters himself was
blown to pieces when an internal ma
chine intended for Attorney A. Mitch
ell Palmer exploded prematurely.
The police have established that the
dead anarchist who was probably an
Italian, came to Washington from
Philadelphia and they have reason for
believing that the nationwide plot
was directed from that city.
Hope was held out by federal agents
that the plotters might be apprehend-
ed. The identity of the anarchist who
was killed apparently has been estab-
lished, and the next step is to deter
mine who were his associates.
The outrages were believed to be a
sequel to the May day bomb plot,
when internal machines were mailed
to a score of prominent men over the
country.
The explosions last night were ac-
companied by the scattering of an
archist literature written by persons
who were not illiterate. The literature
contained the stock doctrines of rad
icals who have been preaching class
war.
Homes Are Guarded.
The homes and persons of promi-
nent officials and. business men in
Washington and elsewhere were be-
ing protected today against further
outrages.
The police are confident the plans
to blow up the house of the attorney
general and kill it's occupants would
not have miscarried had not the an
archist in his excitement in the dark
ness, stubbed his toe on low cop
ing six feet from the front door,
where, it was obvious, he intended to
place the powerful Internal machine.
The coping tripped him and when he
fell the concussion apparently set off
the bomb.
The neighborhood in which the ex-
plosion occurred is one of the most
fashionable in Washington. Two doors
away lives Senator Swanson of Vir-
ginia. Directly opposite lives Rear
Admiral Theodore F. Jewell. The
home of Helmer H. Brin, Norwegian
minister, adjoins that of Admiral Jew
ell, and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, lives
short distance away.

reached the platoon sergeant was
wounded. Corporal Manning then as
sumed command of the platoon, which
was near the center of the assaulting
inc and-was meeting with desperate
resistance. Though he himself was
severely wounded and was the only
survivor of his squad, this soldier led
forward the 80 effectives remaining in
the platoon against an enemy strong
point which was wired, intrenched and
lated the entire Ourcq valley. He was
repeatedly wounded, but he succeeded
in getting .foothold at this strong
point with but seven men remaining
with him. While the latter consolidat-
ed their position under his direction,
with the platoon on the flank, he held
eff considerable number of the enemy
80 yards away by fire from his auto
matte rifle. He remained in this posi-
ion until the entire line had been con-
soldated, when he crawled back to
shelter, having received nine wounds.

Unpleasant stories are coming from
Nladivostok To the effect that the anti
bolshevik Russians there are bitterly
attacking the middle-of-the-road policy
that is being followed by the American
expedition, and are accusing the
Yankees of being the friends OF the
bolsheviki. The antagonism is fos-
tered by several newspapers which are
said to have been subsidized by some
japanese agencies. The Americans i'm
Siberia are scheduled for return i'm the
spring. Just why the Yankee troops
should fight the bOlsheviki i'm north
Russia and not i'm Siberia is not dis
cernible at this distance.
Directly connected with the strained
relations i'm Siberia is the row i'm Tien
Tsin. where Japanese troops and police
made what is declared to have been
an unprovOked attack on American
officials and soldiers. Washington
may demand an apology and repara-
tion from Tokyo.
