The sensation Of the week In the
United States was the uncovering Of
grisly plot to assassinate leading
citizens In all parts Of the country
Several scores Of cleverly constructed
bombs were mailed from New Yolk
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 l. W. w. and other
radicals, so the source Of the bombs
Is not far to seek. The reds had
threatened a demonstration on May 1
In behalf OF Thomas J. 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 1t, but its discovery and the general
feeling Of Indignation II aroused result
ed In the suppression Of their plans for
elaborate May day celebrations in va.
rious cities.

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than Dr..
Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y. Tho cases that
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. Or. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from. which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favonte Pres
cription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every.
where. Aweakly, sickly, backachy, head
achy, nervous, respondent woman, with
regular or irregular pains--with feminine
disorders that come in youth or middle
AGES pretty sure to find in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription the exact remedy
that her condition calls for.

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 su-
preme otTense 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 n kaiser
Of Germany is responsible for his ac-
lions to anyone short Of divinity
would be knocking of one of the legs
OF their own emperOr's throne. Per-
haps Mr.. Lansing could make his po-
sltion clear TO 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 Ak their responsible
lty. The Netherlands government is
to be asked to surrender the ex-kalser.
and the German government is called
on to give up all the other accused
persons.

cause 1t left undecided the proportion
OF the total reparation money to be al
l0tted to them, and the Brussels gov
eminent decided its delegates could
not sign treaty that did not provide
for complete fultilment OF the prom
ises made Belgium by her allies.
These and several other matters hav-
Ing delayed the completion Of the peace
treaty, II could not be presented to the
Germans last week, but this ceremony,
It was believed. would take place Mon
day. The German plenipotentlarles
arrived at Versailles on Wednesday
and were received by representative
of the French foreign ministry with
cold but carefully studled-out formal
lty, after which they were housed in
the Hotel des Reservoirs. On Thurs
day they handed over their credentials
TO an allied commission headed by
Jules Cambon. and the same day wit
messed their first formal meeting with
the allied peace commissioners as rep
resented by special committee that
included Americans.
Though these Germans are called
plenipotentlarles, there was some
doubt last week as to the adequacy
of their powers and especially as to
their qualifications to speak and act
for Bavaria. Examination into this
matter, It was said, might further de-
lay the presentation of the peace terms
1t Is understood the Germans will be
given enough time to study the treaty
and TO transmit II to the national as
semhly nj Weimar. but that its terms
would not he subject t. any material
notifications ut their demand. Should
the Germans refuse to sign the treaty
their further resistance to the allies
could be but little more than passive,
and doubtless Marshal Foch has In
hand full plans to meet that situation.
These presumably w<ild include the
occupation of more German territory,
the seizure Of more material resources
and the continuation Of the blockade.
Prominent Huns are quoted daily In
protest against the "harshness' of the
terms, which they aver will only throw
Germany into the hands Of the bolshe-
Wiki. An argument that already has
lost most of its force. The publication
of the terms which Herr Erzberger had
drawn up to be imposed on the allies
after their defeat doesn't tend to In
crease the spirit Of leniency toward
the Huns, for they we're planning to
impose on France and Belgium the
most crushing Of terms.

Once more we are asked to believe
that the bolshevik regime in Russia
Is waning, and according TO the story,
Lenine and Trotzky have sought In
vain for assurances Of asylum In va

Is being evacuated by the bolshevlli,

the government is sending away many
of the inhabitants. On their western
and northern fronts the soviet forces
met with decided reverses, but their
leaders claimed these were counter.

The soviet government OF Munich at
last accounts was still holding out,
but the city was being closely sur.

eminent and the rule of the commu-
nists, II was said, was near Its end.
Elsewhere In Germany II was the same

Spartacans, street fights and riots, and

shown an erractic disposition. at
many places leaving its old bed and
wandering aimlessly north and

1.-The following resolution vas

In view OF the fact that the Fed

submitted to the states by Congress
cannot become a law in time for
women to vote in the 1922 Presidential
elections unless special sessions of
state Legislatures are held for the
purpose Of ratification and because
OF the fact that in addition to the
Legislatures of Maine and Califor-
MIA which meet soon in special ses-

complete ratification.

ADJUSTMENTS
PLAY PROVED TO
BE SENSATION

1t was predicted that Why not
Me-A Woman" would be a SEN
sation. 1t proved TO be at the Au-
gusta Opera house yesterday when
the first two presentations of this
brand new comedy drama were
given. 1t is sensation. 1t is more
than that: it is a lesson. lesson for
men and for women. 1t takes up sex
equality IN an entirely new way
And it is clean.
Lovers of the salacious need not
go TO this play with the idea that
they are going to be shocked. 1t
doesn't do that. 1t surprises, but it
Sdoesn't shock. 1t tells the story of
Donald Brook and his wife Eileen.
Brook is a man who believes in sex
equality. He thinks that if a man
is tolerated by polite society for
something he has done. then the
same consideration should be shown
by woman.
And so he pursues the even tenor
of his ways. Having provided his
wife with a rich home. expensive
dresses and everything that he thinks
she needs, he then proceeds to neg
lect her. 1t isn't nice of him, but
she is pining for society and the
/ love and companionship of her hus-
band. Denied this. she seeks else
where. Mrs. Madge Slocum through
revenge and with the assistance of
Frederick Mason concocts a plot.
Mason makes love to Eileen. Eileen
really believes he cares for her. She
is found partly intoxicated at a fash
ionable roadhouse by her husband
and Brook accuses her of loving Ma
son. She says she does Brook
leaves her and starts proceedings for
a divorce. A child is born to Eileen
by Mason and she urges Mason to
marry her to give it name. He
refuses and she attempts to commit
suicide when her husband finds her
1t is then that the play comes to
gripping, heart-rending climax. 1t is
unusual. 1t is new. Why not Me
y Woman" proves itself drama
more than worth while
The presentation Of this play by
the Luttringer Players is a distinct
triumph for this company. Highly
artistic work is done by Ann Kings
ley as Eileen and Al. Luttringer as
Donald Brook. Leona Hanson as
Mrs. Slocum and William Laveau as
Frederick Mason bear the heavy"
end of the acting with their accus-
toned skill while some more excel
lent character work is done by John
Dugan. Especially worthy of note
are the beautiful gowns worn by the
women. for they have greater OPP
portunity to dress in this play than
any they have yet presented.
Another gripping drama. but told
through the medium of pictures. is
THE Hornets Nest" the Vitagraph
production in which Earle Williams
appears. 1t is the story of a man
who was ruined by the extravagances
Of his wife and forced to wander an
outcast. His struggles and his final
restoration to his former position
through the help of a second woman
form the theme of the play. The
other pictures on the program are
provided by the ever popular eau
mont News and Topics of the Day,
a new service.
