STORY OF A HERO

LONDON, Jan., 17- Of the many stories of heroism during the war On which official records are silent but which are being brought forth with relaxation of the censorship, is that of Captain Larcombe of the anti air craft defenses of the London District. His job for four years has been to find and dispose of German aerial bombs that failed to explode when dropped on London.
 After each air-raid, and in the early part of the war there were many. Larcombe and his men would go about the city seeking the "duds". It was dangerous work extricating them from wherever they happened to drop, transporting them out of the city and exploding or otherwise destroying them. During the excitement after q raid few people thought of the bombs that failed to Ego off" but all of them have ceased to be menace to the city.

 'It seems to be a question as to whether President Wilson's claim for an open diplomacy is to be discarded entirely. The British and other allied nations do not want open discuss ion and I trust that President Wilson will make hard fight for this" said Senator Borah.
 Publicity is one of the most vital propositions before the conference The Senate should show that it is in sympathy with those opposing sec reey."

SHOWING ALIENS
 THE RIGHT WAY

DENVER COLO. Jan, IT. The Americanizantion of aliens of the Rocky mountain region is the object i've of an undertaking begun a shor> time ago under the direction of paul Armstrong, chief naturalization ex- ofthe district.
 The work will be carried on in Col orado, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, states in the district, the examiner and his staff having charge ofthe subject of Americanism clearly before resident aliens.
 The workers will goto factories and shops employing aliens and make ar engagements with officials to have them informedof their desire that make application for citizenship. In making applications aliens in the past sometimes had to go to better cducat- ed countrymen for help. The workers will relieve them of this necessity.
 Another fact that has been deter rent to many aliens becomeing citi- zens is that they had to lose a day's wages to file their "first papers" as filing could not be made only in day time. To overcome this the clerk of the federal district court here will open his office in the evening to re- ceive these papers.
