Gas Bomb Burns Home;
Injuries 5 in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 4.-The
residence OF Oscar Lawler, former
ly United States attorney general,
and also formerly United States dis
trict attorney for southern Califor-
MIA, was fatally destroyed early
yesterday morning by what the po-
lice believe was a gas bomb. He and
his wife were badly burned. There
is little hope for Mrs Lawler's re-
covery.
Three children also were so bad
ly burned that they may die. Two
children of the family were out of
the city. The other boy, years
old, was saved.
Lawler, as United States district
attorney in southern California, had
charge of the Mcnamara prosecu-

VICTORY LOAN
TO FINISH JOB
PART OF BIG LOAN TO HELP
WOUNDED MEN.

Atlanta, Ca, April S.-Thcre isn't
a single basket case" among the
American wounded either overseas or
in the hospitals at home, according to
q definite statement from Major
General Merritts w, Ireland, surgeon
general of the Army.
A "baskket case" is soldier who
has lost both legs and both arms, and
therefore must be carried in basket
General Ireland says that he has per
sonally examined the records and
finds that no American has been so
wounded in the war Malicious
rumors of such cases had been circul-
ated
But there are plenty of men in the
hospitals who have lost leg, or an
arm, or their eyes, and the govern
ment is working hard in the big re-
Mobilization hospitals to give them
new start in life by teaching them
now trades and professions. Some of
this work is going on at Fort McPher
son the big general hispital near
Atlanta, where hundreds of wounded
men are being cheered up by being
taught how to use one arm or no eyes
at all.
This is one of the items of expense
to be paid as part of the cost of the
war; and one of the reasons why I'm

him another five billion dollar this

less sweeping in their character and

diminishing objections with attacks
upon President Wilson for the man
ner in which the matter has been
handled. The provision in the con-
stitution relating to the approval of
treaties by and with advice and con
sent of the senate is still being re-
lied upon to challenge the conduct of
the president in ignoring, as it is
said, the proper functions of the SEN
ate.
Senator Lodge has been particular

ence to the attitude of the president,
