NO HAND GRENADES FOR
THE KIDS AFTER ALL
Savings Banks Idea Declared Dang
erous, as Reds May Cop Banks to
Make Bombs.

The Savings Organization Of the
Tenth Federal Reserve District has
just been informed by the Treasury
Department that the Secretary of War
deciding that hand grenades converted
into savings banks should not be sent
broadcast through the country. has
cancelled his arrangement to furnish
grenades to the Treasury Department.
Although more than 5000 of these
grcnades have been sold to the banks
in the Tenth District, the children
who have entered into the savings plan
during their vacation, mus, content
themselves with certificates of Appre-
citation issued by the Treasury De-
partment for their services. These
certificates are being prepared in
Washington and will be issued by the
Savings Organization.
The War Department gave its
approval of the grenade distribution
several weeks ago. Its recent decision
comes as a surprise but was evidntley
made on account of complaints made
that the grenades might become n
menace to the safety of the children
and families owing to the possibility
of again converting them into danger
Gus weapons.

DR.. Walter Rathenau. head of the
"Allegemeine Electrische Gesell-
schaft," the electrical trust of Ger

DR.. Rathenau, who has been one
of the most unpopular pacifists in
Germany. said he had talked with
q number of his capitalist COLI
leagues. and they are going to well
come the proletariat's seizure or all
wealth. He said Bolshevism wf1i

prevails in Russia. but that IL VIII

extent that the extente cannot col

Or. Rathenau said he reached his
radical conclusions during the war
when his opinions were for the
most part forbidden from pubiica-
tions, owing to his ardent pacifsm.
He blamed the war largely on the
capitalist and wealthy classes OF
Germany. Russia, France and Eng
land. He is one of the wealthiest
men of Germany and probably con-
trolls more industries than any
