lLL THERE IS TO LEARN.
Mr. W. C. Lowe. head of the shorthand department of the high school. Atlanta Ca.

Paragon has met with phe- nomenal success in our schools during the year just passed. As previously reported to you. our three classes who graduated ir Paragon were far the best we have turned out during my twelve years connection with the school. Among the many advantages of Parogon over the old systems, will mention but two here--sim- plicity and legibility. Some of our pupils who labored faithfully with the old system. and praeti- cally failed, have learned Para gon with comparative ease. The uniform success of our Paragon graduates in filling the most diffi- cult positions fully attests the adaptability of Paragon to fulfill all requirements.
 ''I have studied, taught and re- ported in the old Pitmanic sys- tems for more than twenty years; l have also investigated the lead ing connective-vowel systems, but after three years experience with Paragon in our high schools. l am more convinced than ever that it is far superior to any other system"

German Delegates Pleased.

Versailles, May 2.-The German delegates to the peace congress today expressed themselves as well satisfied that the first meeting Thursday with representatives of the allied and asso- ciated powers took the form of a mu- tual exchange of credentials rather than one-sided demand for the pro- duction of the German papers for pur- poses of Identification. They take this as an indication that the negotiations are to be conducted on a basis of equality.

THESE SLEUTHS TOO SHARP. Bomb" They Soaked in Water Was a
 Statue of Pershing for Wilson.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 1.-Milwau- kee postoffice employees thought for a while today they were going to share honors in exposing the nationwide bomb plot. A package addrest to President Wilson and evidently sent by an Italian arounsed their suspi- cions. The "bomb" was placed in water and allowed to soak. When ex- amined it was found to contain a plaster of paris statue of General Pershing.

BOMB OUTRACFS
 FRUSTRATED MANY
Reds Believed to Have Flooded Mails With Internal Machines to Start Reign of Terror" on
 May Day.

New York, May 1.--With the dis covery and illustration of nation wide bomb conspiracy here yesterday against the lives of many important citizens, every agency of the federal and municipal governments was at work today, not only in an attempt to trace the authors of the terrorist plot, but to guard against the reds boast of a countrywide surprise on May Day.
 Roundup of Reds.
 Members of New York's famous "bomb squad" under the direction of Inspector Faurot, and hundreds of detectives, watched the haunts of ev- cry known radical here and it was in- timated by the police that before night there would be a general round up of extremists of all types in this city and suburbs. While thirty-six bombs have been delivered or inter- eepted in various cities, all apparent ly mailed from New York in identi- cal parcel post packages, Postmaster Patten said:
 "The likelihood that other machines will be brought to light in the next "A hours does not comfort me. This is absolutely appalling"
 The postmaster said that evidently the packages were mailed with a view of reaching the address on or about May first This is indicated by the fact that parcels reaching the Pacific coast bear the postmark of April 23. Those detained here were put into the mails April 26.
 Tho all the packages identified were sent from New York, the postal authorities believe that others may have been sent from other cities and postmasters turnout the country have been warned to watch out for suspi- cious parcels.
 Ingenious Contrivance.
 The police today made further ex- aminations of the sixteen packages found in the general postoffice yester- day, where they had been held for three days because of insufficient post age. The bomb experts worked six and one-half hours in opening one of the packages. Owen Eagen, an au- thority on internal machines, exprest astonishment at the ingenuity of the contrivance.
 Tt does not resemble any machine l have ever come across" he said "It is the neatest and from the stand point of mechanical arrangement the cleverest I have ever seen. Whoever perfected this thing must have been an expert mechanic and chemist"
 The packages, in size and shape, are suggestive of biscuit package. Members of the firm of Gimbel Broth CTS reiterated today that the printed wrappers on the packages purporting to come from this store were faked.
 Examination of the typewriter ad- dress on the packages indicated, &C., cording to the police, that they were made on the same typewriter. There were number of misspellings.

Chicago. April 30.-What may prove to have been one of the bombs discovered in New York, was found on the desk of Judge Keneshaw Moun- tain Landis today while the judge was absent at Rockford, III.
