The sensation of the week in the
United States was the uncovering of
a grisly plot to assassinate leading
citizens in all parts of the country.
Several scores of cleverly constructed
bombs were mailed from New York
city to members of the cabinet, SEN
ators, representatives, judges and
wealthy men. and only the failure to
attach sufficient postage prevented the
murder or. manning of many of the in
tended victims. Practically all of
those whose death was thus sought
have been concerned in some way
with the prosecution or deportation
Of members of the 1. w. w. and other
radicals, so the source of the bombs
Is not far to seek. The reds had
threatened demonstration on May 1
in behalf of Thomas ]. Mooney and
others convicted of the San Francisco
bomb outrage, and Eugene V. Debs,
when sent to prison for violating the
espionage act, had voiced similar
threat. Investigation showed the
bombs had been mailed on different
days with the evident plan that they
should be received by the victims on
the same day. The Socialists denied
any part in the plot or any knowledge
of it, but its discovery and the general
feeling Of Indignation it aroused result.

That the former kaiser will be tried
for at least some of his crimes seemed
reasonably certain, since the commits
sion on responsibility recommended
that he be arraigned before an inter-
national tribunal mot for an offense
against criminal law, but for a SUI
preme offense against international
morality and the sanctity of treaties"
This decision was reached despite the
sentimental protests of the japanese
and the painfully technical objections
Of Mr.. Lansing. The viewpoint of the
Japanese is easily understandable,
since for them to admit that a kaiser
of Germany is responsible for his ac-
tions to anyone short of divinity
would be knocking off one of the legs
Of their own emperors throne. Per-
haps Mr.. Lansing could make his DO
sition clear to a committee Of the
bar association, but the layman can
scarcely comprehend it.
According to the recommendation of
the commission, offenders of lesser
rank are to be tried before tribunals
Of the country or countries whose ma
tionals suffered by their crimes. The
German government is required to fur
nish all documents and information in
its possession necessary to discover
the offenders and fix their responsible
ity. The Netherlands government is
to be asked to surrender the ex-kaiser
and the German government is called
on to give up all the other accused
persons.

Bomb Plot in America At
trlbuted to Radicals.
BY EDWARD W. PIcKARp.

In the interest Of an early peace and
OF the successful organization Of the
league Of nations, President Wilson re-
laxed last week somewhat from his
hitherto uncompromising attitude in
the matter of secret treaties and self
determination. AS a result the contro-
versy over Kiau-Chau and the Shan
fung peninsula was ended in favor of
Japan, which is to get all the old Ger
man concessions and grants. The. Chi
nese delegation argued and protested
In vain, and there was an intimation
that, though 1t would not withdraw
from the conference, It would appeal
20 the United States senate.
Viscount Chlnda successfully object
ed to the publication of the treaty of
1915 which was imposed on China, and
the two countries will be left to agree
on the details Of carrying out that
pact and the agreement of 1918. The
understanding is that the city of Kiau-
Chau win be given back to China, but
that Japan will retain the port privi-
icges. More important are the rights
Japan obtains in the Shantung district,
Including the most valuable railway
and mineral concessions.
Since Great Britain virtually refused
to support the American contention in
favor of China and evidently intended
TO stand by her japanese alliance, and
as japan made it clear that IL her de
mands were rejected she would not re.
main IN either the peace conference
or the league of nations, there was
nothing for Mr.. Wilson to do but
yield, and thus one of the most serious
disputes Of the conference was settled
The American delegation considered
the agreement the best possible to bt
obtained, and confidence is felt that
the league of nations will be able tC
protect China's rights fully in the fu
fure. The. Japanese military forces
are TO be withdrawn from Shantung as
speedily as possible.

Paddy Ryan's ring career was the most abbreviated and yet the most unusual of
 any champion in pugilistic annals.
 Ryan battled but twice during his ring
 lifetime.
 In his first contest he battered his way
 through to victory and by that triumph
 he won the heavyweight championship

 more like fiction than q recital of life sefved asrthe stepping stone that elevated John L. Sullivan to the boxing heights
 that he dqminated for 10 years in such la glorious way.
 Defeat at the hands of Sullivan ended the ring life of Ryan.
 Ryan was of the brushing type of fighters-and one of the most powerful warriors of all time. He was more on the order of Jim Jeffries than any pugil- Of his bulk was made up of vital flesh an inch beyond six feet, he weighed 221 | pounds in, his best days-and every ounce | if his bulk was made up of vital flesh and bone.

And when Joe Goss accompanied by. Johnny Dwyer as his sparring partner, appeared l in Troy in 1878, one of Ryan's happiest moments came when he was introduced to both men.
