 The bombs were generally believed to have been the result of illfeeling where negroes moved into white neigh borhoods. Negroes have charged that some bombs were set off by whites.

First Strike o( Ar Mail Pilots
 Finally Settled

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Sec- ond Assistant Postmaster General Praeger reached an amicable set clement today with the air mail pilots who went on a one-day strike last week. The reinstate- ment of Pilot E. Hamilton Lee, one of the two men whose dismissal re- suited in the strike was announced.
 Leon Smith, the other dismissed aviator, will not be reinstated MT. Praeger stated. This action was said to have met with approval of a representative of the pilots.
 Under the settlement the depart ment's order concerning flying un- der adverse weather conditions has been clarified so as to permit the managers of the flying field de- termine whether the pilot shall take the air when his life might be endangered. In the event the man aeer is not at the field, as is the case when pilots make an early start, the pilot need not leave the field pending the arrival of the manager, when in his judgment flying would be unsafe.

HUNGARIAN BLOCKADE ID CONTINUE UNTIL
 NEW REGIME SET UP

PARIS, July PA strong arraign- ment of the present Hungarian govern ment is contained in the allied state- ment issued today in which it was made to the Hungarian people that they could only obtain a removal of the blockade and receive food sup plies if they busted Bella Kun and set up truly representative government The text of the statement follows:
 ''The Allied and associated govern ments are most anxious to arrange a peace with the Hungarian people and thus bring to an end a condition of things which makes the economic re- vival of Central Europe impossible and defeats any attempt to secure supplies for it's population. These tasks cannot even be attempted until there is in Hungary a government which repre- sents it's people and carries out in th. letter and the spirit the engagements into which it has entered with the as- sociated governments.
 "None of these conditions, is fulfilled by the administration of Bella Kun, which has not only broken the armis- tice to which Hungary was pledged, but is at this moment actually attack ing friendly and allied power.
 With this particular aspect of the question it is for the associated govern ments to deal on their own responsi- bility. If food and supplies are to be made available, if the blockade is to be removed, if economic reconstruction is to be attempted, if peace is to Do settled, it can only be done with a government which represents the Hun- garian people, and not with one that rests it's authority upon terrorism.
 The associated powers think it op- perfume to add that all foreign occupa- tion of Hungarian territory as defined by the peace conference, will cease as soon as the terms of the armistice have in the opinion of the Allied comma nder- n-chief, been satisfactorily compiled with

clear that the sovereignty Of nations is not impaired in
regard to their own measures of defense. There is not
one syllable in the covenant Of April % which makes it
incumbent upon members of the league to maintain only
a minimum military strength. but the spirit Of the docu-
ment is, Sof course, plainly in favor of keeping. army
preparations at their lowest possible point.
The obvious purpose is to make it impossible for any
nation to become an aggressor against others. The
league fully recognizes the right each nation has to
prepare for its own defence. but 1t contains nothing with
which pending American legislation is in conflict.
Those who make an effort to interpret the
tendencies OF the present age, look optimistically for the
day when it will be unnecessary to maintain any large
army. but as the worlds affairs have progressed. it is
naturally out of the question to do away entirely with
army organizations Unsettled as conditions stul are and
will befor a long time to- come. nations must consider
the element Of the possibility Of sudden ana unexpected
dangea and it would be, indeed, grievous were a coun-
try like the United States to be caught mapping in the
face Of another world catastrophe. One need not be a
rank militarist' to see that preparedness still is emf
nently justified.

ALL LOOK TO AMERICA

Francesca Nitti, Orlando's successor as italian pre-
mier, is reported to be most friendly to America, and one
of his wishes is said to be to establish very close financial
and economic relations between his own country and the
United States. =, f.-
1t is the same tale we hear from every nation in Eu-
rope, whether proud or oppressed: They are lokoing to
America. They want to increase the warmth of their
friendship with the Omitted States. and not solely for
following the armistice American ideals have gained un-
and again we hear of the highest compliments being
paid this country because of it's attitude.
l. Now, naturally Americans<a are not essentially differ
ent from the races dwelling in Europe-so racial diff
ferences cannot be the principal reason for, the respect
entertained for the United States. The actual reason is,
1t seems, that in this country certain exalted ideals have
been able to thrive and flourish because Of the political
~ isolated position of the country and because of thei I'M
selfishness of most Of its leaders. Europe notices such
facts and is glad to extend a hand Of friendship and af-
lection for that people who perhaps more than any other
has been able to retain it's idealism through all vicissi-
tudes~ N ~
While passing through the recent crisis America
lost none >of her idealism and whatever there was of
materialism decreased perceptibly. The horizons widen
ed. vision became keener. and the Inspiration Of a great
fresh enthusiasm which became national and internA
ttonal in its scope where it had often formerly been rath-
err provincial.
1p other words, 4 looks as though both Europe and
America will gain mpch from the intensified -friendship
which has been established, and which will continue to
be q factor in the future life OF the world.

LOOKING FOR A HOUSE

Dispatches from Amerongen, Holland. inform the
world at large that Wilhelm Hohenzolern, erstwhile
emperor OF the Germans, is looking for a house in which
to establish his permanent residence. Some days ago
it was reported that a number of visitors had arrived
Of persuading the ex-kaiser to return to Berlin and to
take matters into his own hand once more: this sup
position appears to be erroneous, for now it is said that
the visit was a purely personal one having only the Sc
lection of ar abode for William in view.
Whether or not the former emperor will live in
Germany, is a matter of conjecture; Holland seems to
have been picked out as the country on which the some
what dubious distinction of housing the fallen majesty
will fall, but it is well known that William himself has
a strong desire to settle down in his own country.
Planning like this may be wholly unnecessary in
William before a court in an effort to establish his guilt
as an instisator of the world war. It is not likely that
they, it they do find him guilty, will sentence him to
death, but it is at least probable that he will be interned
in a place which he will not be permitted to select.
Exactly what his status before an international tri-
bunal will be, has not been made clear. for the carc
against him is without precedent In the history of law
and Of the world. At>the> present time prospects would
indicate that his personal share Of the guilt for the out
cannot be escaped. but to what extent the conouerors

Anyhow. it looks as though it were better for the
ex-emperor to hold his plans for a future home in abey-
ance. for in all Likelihood a home will be provided for
him in which the only privileges accorded him NAV be
that of nerely EXISTING. Z
