Secret Service
Active In Search
For Bomber:

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Investi-
cation of the bomb explosions in eight
cities which were intended to kill
public men, has convinced secret ser
vice chiefs here that the outrages
had a common source, and that they
probably can be classed as an unsuc-
cessful attempt on the part of a still
unknown anarchistic group to resume
a campaign of terrorism begun with
the May day attempt to deliver a
series of internal machines through
the mails out of New York.
Washington police yesterday de-
voted their efforts to re-assembling
fragments of the man who was killed
at the door of Attorney-General
Palmer's home while attempting to
plant his cargo of explosives. Mr.
Palmer himself dismissed the Incl
dents today as utter failure to ter
rorize the country and stay the hand
of the government which purposes
he ascribed to the authors of the
outrages.
Police at New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Newtonville,
Mass, Boston and Paterson, N. j.,
were engaged in the widespread hunt,
Detectives were sent from Washing
ton to the first two named cities in
order to connect up operations.
The hat of the Washington bomb
planter was purchased in Philadelphia

bility that the consignment of ex-
plosives had been sent out from
there.
Another connecting link in the
view of authorities here was the sim
iarity of the anarchistic handbills
found near the scene of the explo-
sions in several cities.

LANE AND LABOR

Tn my judgment" said Secre- tary Franklin K. Lane recently, in a statment published in the New York Post, i've have no problem of reconstruction excepting in our attitude toward things, especially our attitude toward labor. There is no cut-and-dried formula by which justice will surely be done to the man who has been thrifty and saved his money, and therefore, is a capitalist, and to the man who has his labor and skill to sell Pa per programs do not work. Logic is not determining factor as against human nature. But in a democracy all men must have living, and a good living, living that will keep them from being hopeless and bitter.
 The best insurance for continued industrial peace will be the adop- tion of plan by which every man willing to work can have work on such needed government projects as the reclamation of public lands, the building of roads and the diking of outlet in times of stress and an assurance that the willing will not suffer. And in the next place we must try to stop the turnover in labor by tying the workmen to the plant through loyalty to his own interests. This may mean better home near to the plant or a bit of farm home or share of the profits or mutual insurance against unemployment. And we must not look on the worker as a machine which merely has to be well fed. The new attitude is tha, he is human being, who demands recognition. and we may as wei know that he is going to have it There must be some way found b, which the distinguished service medal can be given to the workman in every plant; that is to say. tha distinction must come to those who are competent in peace just as wei as to those who are competent il war"

Since Utah enter ed the prohibition column of states many soft drink parIors have em- ployed women to take the place of men, allowing them to woyk behind bars where liquor formerly was sold.
 The custom, according to Chief White, had developed to such a point where he feared underworld practices might follow.

to do. No place to wash, no place to sleep and to eat cold lunches. The only trouble was that we did most of our travelling at night for in the day they shunted us off on some wood spur and forgot about us unti lthe next night, when an engine would come along and take us to some other place. On the after noon of the third day we came to little place called Cologne, in the Department of Haute Marne, and as it looked like good town to someone way up, they dumped us off. We marched up to the town, and then started the fun, billeting That is an English word and they are welcome to it. The game is to find all of the old stables and hen houses you can and then see how many soldiers you can crowd into one of them. The C. o. picked on me for billeting officer, and then the troubles of my young life com menced. There were two companies of us, 300 men in all, and the town was only a small one, but by Lick ing out several pigs, cows. horses and million chickens and ducks, we managed to crowd our men in and make them as comfortable as they could be under the conditions. Then we started out to find what quarters there were for us officers and we sure got some dandy ones. l had a room as big as a Nenana pool hall all to myself and the bed was a wonder about six feet high and the blooming thing had a lid on Irregular tent pitched over the bed. As it was late, l started to crawl in, and the first thing I did was to wonder how I was going to get in without step-ladder. Then, again, there was a big overgrown pillow about six feet square right in the middle of the bed and I knew darn well that that thing was not for my head, as the thing was four feet thick, took up half of the bed. So l gave it up as bad job, and with great care placed it on the floor, and with running jump to get aboard and in three seconds l was fast asleep in the finest old bunk that 1 have ever been in. Had Norman Hadley's at Emile bar beater a mile, and it reminded me of "Eat- em-up Franks place, it was so diff erent.

there were no tugs and barges for us, we started to do stevedoring, and Jack O'Neil never hustled as much freight at Nenana as we did at Gregny, and it was the most mixed up stuff you could think of. A short time after our tugs and barges started to come in and 1 was shipped to Paris to take charge of the floating equipment, with the high sounding title of "Tug and Barge Operating Officer" You should have seen the junk that we were given to work with. All the old junk that they could find in England. The French would not let us buy any barges that were of any use; and made us take old things that were falling to pieces: The barges used on the Seine river are square ended chunkers, about 100 feet long and 16 feet wide anl will hold about 300 tons, drawing six feet of water. They are lowed by good tugs. one after the other, from a log tow line. The Seine river is good sized creek, but they spoiled it by so many bridges.
 Life in Paris is pretty quiet now, but along in August and September we had little excitment. The Big Bertha would spit shell into town at the rate of one every twenty minutes, and then on a clear night Boche aeroplane would sail in and drop a love token in the shape of 300-pound bomb. They never got over the city, but sure gave some of the smaller towns in the outskirts hell.
 You would be surprised at the small amount of damage one of them long range shells would do. I saw one hit and it only made small hole in the street. But the aerial bombs sure raise hell. Thern are 300 pounds of high explosives in them, and when they hit house they go clear through to the cellar. The people of Paris took all the smelling and bombing in very calm manner, though I should say that thirty per cent of the people moved away.
 Paris sure gave Wilson one send off, and it is one that he will re- member as long as he lives. The streets were lined with people and they made more noise than boiler factory.
 I had little luck one night with barge of gasoline that was on fire and got a British decoration for it; the military medal, and am recommended for a French one.

WHY THE DELAY?


 ably have a kick coming against the war department because of the failure of that department to make provision promptly for the discharge of Alaskan soldiers desiring to be released, the blame should not be laid at the door of the officers commanding the various Northern posts-not in all cases, at any rate. Toward the end of last summer, large numbers of regulars were withdrawn from Alaska, leaving the new soldiers of the National army to look after the posts. When the war ended conditions of travel pre- vented the return of the regulars and if the post companies are to retain anything like their normal strength it will be necessary for many of the new soldiers to remain in the service until relief can be sent them, which will be after the opening of navigation.
 That is the position taken by the war department. The officers in com mand of the various posts appear helpless to relieve the situation. The boys of the Fort Gibbon de- tachmcnt are no worse off in this respect than those of posts on the Alaska coast, where complaints have been numerous.
 There are many men. for in stance, at Fort William H. Seward, who have a right, under the regula- tions, to be discharged, and the officer commanding the post is held responsible because of the delay in providing discharges. Similar conditions exist at Fort Liscum, the commanding officer there being also blamed for the delay. The men in sist that the fault is not that. of the war department or any one at Washington, but of the officer in charge of the posts.
 In a letter of explanation, Cap tain Hewes, of Fort I.iscum, re- gently informed the Territorial Council of Defense. of Juneau, that positive orders had been received that his ccompany was not to be mustered out" until relieved by a detachment of regular troops. which he expected to reach the post within short time. He stated, further, that the company had been reduced to the smallest possible number consistent with military require ments. He pointed out the neces- sity of retaining troops at the docks to guard the properties of the Alaskan Engineering cOmmis- sion, bridges, docks and other large properties" Peace had not been declared, he said, nor had there been any orders received to relieve any of the various detachments.
 The fact remains that regulations were issued many weeks ago pro- viding for the discharge of soldiers who have positions awaiting them business that demands their atten tion, and for other reasons, and il is not just to them to compel then to remain ip the army beyond that time. The boys gave their service. in good faith, ready to fight tho Hun to finish for the preserva tion of liberty and democracy, ant now that the country no longer needs them for that purpose, the. are within their rights in demand ing their immediate release.
