Peace Secrets
By Lowell Mellett


PARIS, April 16.-(By Mail.1-
Some of the suppressed stories of the
peace-making are worth the telling.
There was the time, for example,
that M. Pichon, French secretary for
foreign affairs, told the assembled
correspondents on Sunday in the
very Quai d'Orsay room where the
Big Ten had its daily meeting, that
the league of nations cound not be
embodied in the preliminary peace
pact.
Pichon's statement, given out for
publication, was strangely missing
from all the Paris press next morning.
Inquiry revealed that three or four
deputy chiefs of the various delega-
tions had spent busy night rushing
by auto from one peace sanctum to
another until program OF suppress
sion had been arranged and then rush
ing from one French authority to an
other until all corners of the censor
ship lid had been rivetcd down upon
the Pichon interview.
Then there was the period when the
French press turned the representa-
tives of the American and British
press green by the the remarkable ac-
curacy of it's accounts of the Big Ten
and, sometimes, Big Four, conversa-
tions. AS printed, nobody was quoted
but it became known that the langu-
age which the reports presented as
their own was simply that of some of
the parties to the conversations, strip
ped of quotation marks. After par
ticularyly fragrant case of this kind
the issue was brought to head by
General Bliss rising to remark that il
militar ymatters could not be dis
cussed in these intimate and suppos.
edly secret conclaves without some
body peddling the text of the talks
to the newspapers, he for one woulC
have to cease talking.
Next day thereafter the phono
graphic records of the conversation
were missing from the Paris papers.
While the air was filled with ru
: mors of disagreements between Viii
son and Clemenceau, it remained fo
LEclaire. Paris daily, to raise tn
curtain on the loggerheaded situation
between Lloyd George and the FrencI
premier. A long white space in
regular edition of L'Eclaire reveale
the devastating hand of the censor
, Immediately preceding the whit

"The following has been given u

PUBLIC WARNED
By POST0FF|CE
OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Discov-
cry in New York of sixteen bombs,
each put together by experts, result
ed last night in a general warning to
government empolyes to be on watch
for what authorities here believe to
be an anarchits plot to spread terror
Throughout the country.
While steps were taken immediate
ly to deal with the situation already
developed, postoffce department Of
ficials frankly admitted that there was
absolutely no means of telling exact
ly how many bombs might have been
deposited in the mails. The sixteen
picked up in New York were regard
ed as a catch find, having been held
for lack of postage. Coming on the
heels of the damage caused by an in
fernal machine mailed to Former Sen
ator Hardwick of Georgia, and in the
same sort of package, with the same
department store label, let to prompt
confscation by the government and
quick search for similar weapons of
destruction moving through the mails.
Because of the character of the
men to whom the packages were ad-
dressed, the one thought of the au-
thorities cented in the motive. In a
general way the attempt on the lives
of cabinet members, a justice of the
supreme court of the United States,
a governor, a mayor and others, was
linked up with recent agitation and
discussion of the question of after
the-war immigration. But the author
tiles could not altogether agree or
this as the reason behind the whole
sale attempt at destruction of life.
Word reached Investigators herr
that Gimbel Brothers, New York, de
partment store owners, whose mail
ing tags were on each package, in
cluding that sent to Former Senate
Hardwick, had declared the tag for
gerry.
r Warning Issued to Public.
= No effort was made to disguise tn
fact that this information was dis
! ouieting for it meant, officials said, i
A the event of a wholesale mailing o
1 bombs, that many would reach thei
J.. destinations, bearing the mark o

work of preventing delivery all tn
S more difficult Although the publ
e was cautioned as to the opening
