revolver to fire at the policeman, but
for the second time the hammer merely

the street, Kelley took up a position
behind a pillar supporting the subway
track at Southern Boulevard and Free

At the third attempt. Kelley sue

REDS LITERATURE
Is CAMOUFLAGED
Found in Packages Wrapped
With Copies Of Conserva-

ADDRESSED TO THE WEST
East Side LuDchrooms Found
Selling Socialist Maya
zines.

More light was shed yesterday upon
the varieties of camouhage employed by,
ultra radical groups for disseminating
throughout the, country quantities of Sc
ditious reading matter.
According to officials investigating the
activities OF the various groups com
monty classed as Bolsheviki, the Russian
Peasant Society of East Fifteenth street
is one of several that have been caught
in the act Of shipping their literature by
express so wrapped that ordinarily no
one would suspect it's real nature.
Several bundles Of matter expressed
by the Russian radical organization were
found to contain on the exterior copies
OF the most conservative American pub
locations and on the interior pamphlets
OF such Violent nature that they would
never have been delivered by any ex-
press company knowing their contents.
The matter was addressed to Western
extremist groups.
Discovery OF the scheme came about
through the same source by which the
agents Of the Department OF Justice and
members Of the police bomb squad
learned Of the smuggling OF radical lit
erature to aliens on Ellis Island and
in various prisons.
officials said yesterday that they had
heard OF various attempts by imprisoned
anarchists and extreme radicals to con-
vert their wardens and keepers. as well
as directing vigorous campaigns to en-
list fellow convicts in the ranks OF their
organizations

u. S. PART IN BALKAN
TREATIES UNCERTAIN
Vcnizeios Raises Question of
Participation.

PARIS, July 21.-Thcre is liluch specu-
lat!on in Peace Conference circles as
10 whether the American delegation will
continue active participation in the fran
ing OF the Bulgarian peace treaty, since
1t Is not positively known that the United
States will sign this treaty.
Premier Venizelos of Greece raised
the question whether the American deie-
cation would sign. and the clear init
nation that country which did not
intend to sign could scarcely insist on
participating in treaty negotiations. This
resulted In message being sent TO
Washington from the American delega-
tion' asking whether the United States
intended to afix its signature to the
compact
1t was generally understood before
President Wilson lere' France that the
President expected the United States
would sign both the Bulgarian and
Turkish treaties, but the opposition in
the Senate to the German treaty and
the possibility that the United States
might make reservations concerning the
League of Nations raised uncertainty in
the minds Of several delegations as 10
Americas proper part in the Bulgarian
Turkish negotiations
This uncertainty probably has been
heightened by rumors in Paris that the
United States will not accept the Ar
menian or any other mandate and that
the members of the Chinese delegation
say that no compromise has yet been
framed which will make II possible for
them 10 sign the German treaty. II is
known. however. that the Entente
Powers are working on a plan to effect
an agreement with Japan concerning
Shsntung which will satisfy the Chinese
and induce them to sign the German
treaty.
The British delegation is known to be
leading In compromise movement.
which may result in Japan putting into
written form the oral agreement ga Id to
have been entered into by Japan for the
restoration of Shantung TO China at
some fixed time.
Since the debate in the United States
Senate on the Shantung situation became
40 acute this question has assumed
great importance IN conference circles.
and especiaily among peace delegations
other than OF the United States.
