1T is fate not generally known that
half million cats were enlisted by Brit
ain to help fight the Huns During the
second year of the war someone discovered
that cats have deep-rooted aversion to
poison gas, and gave notice of its pres
ence long before any human being had
an inkling of the danger. So hundreds Of
thousands of stray felines were picked
up in London and other cities and shipped
off wholesale to the front. In addition
to serving as gas detectors the cats also
rendered valuable help in the clearing Of
trenches and dug-orts of rats and vermin

Flynn OF the Bureau OF 1nvestiga tons,
who has been at work on the care
for two weeks.
The man who was blown to atoms
had a pal and confederate with him
who also had bomb in a grip. This
man fed when his confederate was
blown to pieces and has not been located.
These facts were learned from Chief
Flynn to-day, He said that great
progress was being made in the investi-
CATION OF the Palmer and other outrages
and that II was only a question of time
before the radicals who were responsible
would all be rounded up.
1t was shortly after this announce
ment by Chief Flynn that the House
Committee on Appropriations reported
the sundry civil appropriation bill, with
heavy cut in tho estimates of the
amount considered necessary by Attor-
ney-General Palmer for clean up OF
anarchists and other dangerous charao-
tiers In this country and a general reor-
sanlsation OF the bureau OF investiga-
ton and the Government corps Of Sc
cret agents.
experimenting Mr.. Flynn's statement
the department tonight made public
testimony OF Attorney General Palmer
before the House Appropriations Com
mittee asking for special fund of
100000 to carry on the hunt for
radicals. The Attorney-G General told the
committee, as the testimony revealed,
that Government officials had been ad-
vised of day set for another attempt
by radicals ITO destroy the Government
at one fell swoop"
I'VE have received 80 many notices
and got 80 much information" Mr..
Palmer told the committee at his recent
appearance, that It has almost come
to be accepted as a fact that on a GER
tain day In the future, which we have
been advised of. there will be another
serious and probably much larger effort
of the same character which the wild
fellows OF this movement describe as
| revolution. a proposition to rise up and
destroy the Government at one fell
swoop."
Before the bill was reported and the
cut in Estimates made known Chief
Flynn had stated that there was little
doubt that another series of bomb out.
RACES might be expected. When 1t Is
10 come he would not hazard a guess
He would likewise make no statement
in regard TO general roundup OF
Reds" before the date, which has been
placed by guess in July. 1t is known
however that such roundup is reason
ably certain.
The House Appropriations Committee
In the face OF this situation. cut the ap-
propr alton asked by Attorney General
, Palmer from 100000 to sl.400 900.
| Attorney General Palmer had gone in q
full details in explanation of his request
1t was necessary, he said, to employ suf.
hcient agents and skilled men and &c
| support the organization recently created
with Chief Flynn a s the head OF the blu.
reau OF Investigations and Frank p. Gar
van as assistant to the Attorney General
| in charge Of all criminal Investigations.
Failure of the full appropriation Is no,
expected to AFFECT these appointments
| but 1t will have a decided effect upon the
contemplated organise ton and the com.
bination of all Government investigating
and secret policy work under one head
