Civil Authority on Rhine.

Paris.-The substitution of civil for
military authority during the period of
occupation on the left bank of the
Rhine is one of the important
changes proposed In the allied reply
to the German counter proposals. This
is provided by the establishment Of a
civilian commission made up of one
member each of the great powers.
The commission will sit in the occu-
pied territory and supervise the ad-
miIhstration of the local civilian au-
thorities.

viii Call Conference

Atlantic City, n. J.-Frank Morrl-
son, secretary of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, announced to national
convention delegates here that Post
master General Burleson had promised
to give orders which would result in
conferences between representatives OF
the striking commercial telegraphers
OF the Western Union and Postal com
panies and representatives of the com
panies. At these conferences, he said
machinery for settling difficulties"
would be arranged.
The Elbert County tribune., 1919-06-20

An inexpensive auto crossing and
stock guard is used very extensive in
several states to avoid opening gates.
This is cheaply and quickly construct
ed and found to be very effective.
There is square hole four feet deep,
dug in the ground in the center of the
guard. This hole is beneath the axel
of the car shown in the illustration.
The method of construction is fully eY-
planned by glancing at the picture, and
If these were constructed by all farm
ers and ranchmen at convenient
places, in short time the bother of
opening and closing gates would be a
thing OF the past. This especially ap-
pealed to women drivers and found
to aid greatly in taking children to
and from school in public cars in rur-
al districts.

cesses are considered to have strength

uation Is viewed here as decidedly seri.

JULY SET AS DATE TO BLOW
UP MANY PROMINENT PEOPLE.
EXISTENCE HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO DEPARTMENT ABOUT

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, June 13.-Following an
appeal to Congress By Attorney Cen
eral Palmer for an appropriation OF
100000 to run down the authors of
the recent attempts to assassinate
public officials, 1t became known that
200 secret agents of the Navy Intelli-
gence Bureau are investigating
gigantic plot to explode bombs in Chi
cago and more than q score of other
large cities July 4.
About fifty government detectives
are working in Chicago. suspected of
being headquarters of the plotters.
Others are pursuing leads in Detroit,
indianapolis, East Chicago, Hammond
and other Middle West industrial CEN
ters Suspects are under surveillance
in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, st. Louis,
Louisville, Cleveland, Akron, Toledo
and Moline.
The plot called for July bomb DEM
onstrations in all of these cities except
Milwaukee. and in Pittsburg. Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, New
York, Trenton, Newark, Jersey City,
Bridgeport, Taunton, Fall River, Provi-
dence, Boston. Pittsburg, Memphis,
Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, Birm-
ingham and New Orleans.
Navy intelligence operatives were
assigned to the investigation at the re-
quest of the Department of Justice,
whose own detectives have become too
well known to the Reds.
Existence of the plot became known
to Department of Justice operatives
about two months ago, when an oper-
ative who had Joined a terrorist
group and gained the confidence OF
members of the inner circles at Chi
cago headquarters of the organization
succeeded in purloining papers con-
| tanning a program of bomb explosions
for large number of cities where
Fourth of July celebrations on large
scale were to be held.
In many of the cities where the cele-
brations planned were to be municipal
in character, the point at which the
largest crowds might be expected to
assemble were indicated.
Evidence of the widespread nature
of the plot includes large number of
pieces of mail, kilograms and messages
delivered personally found in places
where raids had been made on radical
centers.
The subject matter of these mes
sages has been communicated to chiefs
of police in the cities concerned and
the local police officials are cooperat-
ing with the government in the inves-
| tigation.
The $50O,0OO asked of Congress by
the attorney general to fight the bomb
plotters is In addition to 81 500 900 for
the departments bureau of investiga-
ton.
THE comparatively recent violence
and the attempted violence on the part
of individuals associated with anar-
chistic organizations" said Mr.. Palmer
in his letter to Congress, "discloses
existing conditions which renders the
supplemental estimate necessary in or
der that there may be ample means
for protecting the public and enforcing
the laws of the United States"
Mr. Palmer also requested authority
to appoint a director of the bureau of
Investigation at a salary of $500.
This is the post to which william j.
Flynn has been appointed.

BRITISH BoMBARD ANARCHIST
BASE AT KRoNsTADT-
HEAVY GUNS.
CALL ELECTION
KoIcHAK OF ALL-RUSsIAN HEAD
WILL CRUSH BoLSHEVik
MOVEMENT.

Stockholm. June IA British
squadron is bombarding the Bolshevik
base at Kronstadt with heavy guns.
according to a report published in the
Aftonblad.
The Bolshevik batteries, however,
are not replying to the British fire.
The Bolsheviki have placed floating
mines in the nearby waters.
The Aftonblad's report suggests
that the Bolsheviki are trying to evac-
uate the town.
Omsk.-On the northern end of the
front west of the Urals, the Siberian
troops have captured Glazov and are
advancing toward vintka, an official
announcement says On the southern
front there is fighting near Sarapul
and near Ufa.
The statement from the Siberian
general staff reads:
"A battle is being waged north of
Sarapul. Detachments of the Red
army tried to cross the River Bielaya,
near Ufa, but were repulsed."
Paris.-Admiral Kolchak, the head
of the all-Russian government at
Omsk, in his reply to the first letter
from the allied and associated powers,
which resulted in second letter prom
Using him allied support, declared that
he did not propose to retain power
longer than required by the interest of
the country.
He reafflrmed his intention to call
elections for the constituent assembly
as soon as the Bolsheviki have been
crushed The text of the admiral's
reply was made public yesterday. The
allied letter was handed to Admiral
Kolchak at Titman by NJ. de Martel,
the French charge d'affaires at Omsk.
Paris-The big four" is unofficial
ly trying to explain that Admiral Kol-
chak, head of the all-Russian govern
ment of Omsk, is not recognized, but
merely aided under the agreement an
nounced, but since neither France,
Great Britain nor the United States
can send troops to Russia, 1t is pointed
out that laid" merely means the con-
tinuous sending Of food and the turn
ing over of vast allied stores which
have been rotting in Siberian ports for
months and years and which are en-
tirely unfit for usage.
This pseudo-official recognition of
Kolchak was engineered when Clemen-
ceau saw Japan was preparing to
jump back of Kolchak. The French
premier saw good chance to arrange
a deal to obtain Kolchak's promise to
recognize Russian indebtedness to
France If he gains the mastery.
| Originally the British and French
privately agreed to recognize the Kol-
chak government when the admiral
should reach Moscow, and since his re-
treat there had been no further idea
on the part of England and America
of recognizing him.

London, June 16.-Capt John Al
cock and Lieut. Arthur w. Brown, In
their yickers-yimy biplane, landed at
Ciifden, Ireland, completing the first
nonstop airplane flight across the At
iantic- Their trip from St Johns, n.
r., was made in sixteen hours and
twelve minutes. The landing was
made at 40 o'clock, British summer
time, Sunday. In taking the ground
the machine struck heavily and the
fuselage ploughed into the sand.
Neither of the occupants was injured
Much of the flight was made through
"a fog, with an occasional drizzle. This
hampered the airmen considerably.
Captain Alcock explained the ST.
lence of his radio Instrument during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.
1--WE were much tammed by strong
wireless signals not intended for US,
he added

Word came from Clifden that the
pilot and navigator of the biplane were
leaving for Galway, whence Lieuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
hA ahI.A IN flU n I nndnn n the m NJ
chine which made the record flight
as soon as 1t could be repaired. 1t
was planned to have him give an ex-
hibition over London in the machine,
If possible.
The Aero Club received a message
from Clifden not long after the trans
atlantic fllers landed, signed by them,
which merely stated that they had
completed the flight in sixteen hours
and twelve minutes. They requested
instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap
tain Alcock: Keep machine intact
until observer arrives"
The air ministry stated that certain
marks We're put on the airplane al

declared to have been officially com
pleted. 1t was said at the ministry
that it was probable one of its of
ficers would leave Dublin in an air
plane to relieve Alcock and Brown.
1t WAS hardly believed there thai
the machine could be repaired before
several days had passed, and 1t was
thought both the aviators would pro
ceed to England by train. Alcock and
Brown stood the trip well.
