 MISSING CANADIAN FACE"

New York, June 3.-The possibili- ty that Captain Mansell R. James, Canadian ace. who has been missing since last Thursday when he attempt ed to fly from Lee, Mass, to Mineola, may have been. forced to descend on Mount Riga, near Millerton, N T., was indicated in reports received here to- day by officials of the Aefo Club of America from army f1iers who left Hazelhurst Field this morning to make an aerial search for the missing air man.
 Mount Riga is virtually equi- distant from Millerton and West Cornwall. Yesterday P. G. Grant of Port Wash ington, N. Y, who was spending the week end in West Cornwall, informed Aero Club officials he had heard an airplane motor Sunday, presumably grounded in woods nearby.
 Today this report was apparently confirmed by Lieutenants John W Frost and Rolph Starkweather, who piloted one of the three search planes from Mineola. They telephon- ed from Hartford that they had been in communication with H. R. Grant assistant freight agent at Millerton who said that he had heard an air plane motor on two occasions last Sunday.
 The sounds, he said, came from Mount Riga and today he was instru- mental in having a detachment of Boy Scouts detailed to search the noun tain.

CONDENSED REVIEW OF
 INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
(By The Associated Press.)


 There is a probability that Germany may secure, as a result of her strong counter proposals. some lessening in the severity of the peace terms of the allied and associated powers Ger many's pleas that it will be impossible to fulfill the financial requirements of the allies and her protests against certain territorial reHnquishments have been needed and are being dis cussed by the council of four. Paris report has it that in certain quarters of the peace conference the German viewpoint is receiving strong support
 A full discussion of the German counter proposals, especially concern ing separations and other economic features of the peace treaty, has been had by President Wilson and the staff of American experts of the American peace delegation. Great Britain is said to favor a number of concessions to Germany, but France continues firm in her stand not to waver from the original terms. On the other hand the Americans are declared to be not averse to minor concessions, but are not in favor of going to the extent that the British propose.
 The German government is incenSed over the formation of a Rhenish re- public. It has ordered the arrest of Dr. Dorten, the president of the republic, and also has protested to the peace conference and the armiStice commis : sion at Spa against the behavior of the French authorities in the occupied Rhineland. French support of the Rhenish republic is characterized by the German government as high trea- son against the empire. Strikes by dissatisfied Germans in the American of f against the formation of the republic. American occupied area, called in pro- test against the formation of the re- public. ended quickly when the Amer ican commanders issued a warning against the movement.
 The supreme council has been re- quested by the Lithuanian delegation to the peace conference to have an al- lied commission investigate alleged po- sroms and other illegal acts by the Poles in occupied Lithuania. An unconfirmed report has reached 1 Copenhagen that Petrograd has been captured by Finnish and Esthoniar | troops.
 The head of the Austrian peace del l egation has departed from St Ger main for Innsbruck. carrying with him 1 the allied peace treaty. Counter Trey i olutions are reported from numerous 1 towns in western Hungary.

BENDING EVERY ENERGY
 TO CAPTURE ANARCHISTS

New York, June 3.-Worlling behind a close veil of secrecy. the police and federal agents here were bending every energy tonight toward the capture of the anarchist or anarchists responsible for the bomb explosion early this morning at the home of Judge Charles C. Mott. Jr., of the court of general sessions
 Discovery during the day of incen- diary pamphlets near the scene of the crime, similar to those found in Wash ington and other cities where bombs were planted, removed all possibili- ty for doubt that the New York ex- plosion. which resulted in the death of a night watchman, was d part of the organized plot.
 Although unusual reticence was evinced by officials in charge of the investigation here. it was intimated that. as was the case in the attempt in Washington to blow up Attorney General Palmer, the trail of the out laws led to Philadelphia.
 There was no general roundup of known anarchistic radicals here today and so far as could be learned, none is contemplated,

 WILLING TO CEDE TERRITORY

Berlin, Monday, June 2.-(By The A. P) Rumors in circulation in Ger many that he is willing to sacrifice parts of German territory threatened by the peace terms if the counter-pro- posals are accepted are denied by Count Von Brockdorff-R -Rantzau, the head of the German peace delegation, in an interview with the Versailles correspondent of the National Zei- tung aThe- counts attention was drawn to the feeling in Danzfg that Germany was ready to sign peace at the expense of that city if the allies made conces- sions regarding upper Silesia. the for mer colonies and the merchant ma rine.
 The count said that all interests would be represented equally and equally. Great financial sacrifices can be made by Germany and offered, he added, only on condition that the Ger man counter-proposals were looked upon as a coordinate entity.

SAY BOMB oUTRAGEs
 HAD A COMMON SOURCE

Washington, June 3.-Investigation of the bomb explosions in eight cities which were intended to kill public men, has convinced secret service chiefs here that the outrages had a common source. and that they prob ably can be classed as an unsuccess- fui attempt on the part of d still un- known anarchistic group to resume a campaign of terrorism begun with the May Day attempt to deliver a series of internal machines through the mails out of New York.
 Washington police today devoted their efforts to reassemblng fragments of the man who was killed last night al the door of Attorney General Pal mer's home while attempting to plant his cargo of explosives. MT. Palmer himself dismissed the incidents today as "utter failure to terrOrize the coun- try and stay the hand of the govern ment," which purpose he ascribed to the authors of the outrages.

CONSIDERING THE ECONOMIC
 DIFFICULTIES OF GERMANY

Paris, June 3.--(By The A. P.)-The economic difficulties of Germany, as exposed in the counter proposals to the peace treaty, are being seriously considered by the inter-allied leaders. Acceptance of the German counter-of- fer of 100,000,000 marks indemnity and a change in the provisions regarding Silesia to give the Germans certitude of receiving the necessary amounts of coal for East German industry are, ac- cording to reports in well informed quarters, the most probable of any changes in the treaty, should any con- sessions to the German pleas be made
 Those favoring acceptance of the German offer are found in the British and American camps, while the French representatives are inclined to stand firmly upon the original proposal of the total reparation fixed by the econ omic commission and the collection of as much as it is found possible to col lect in the course of subsequent years by the commission

Philadelphia, June 3.-A 24-hour in- vestigation by agents of the depart ment of justice abd the local police, working together, failed to develop clue to the identity of the perpetrators of the bomb outrages in this city last night, when the rectory of a Catholic church and the home of a private citi- zen were badly damaged. Neither was there advanced any tangible reason why these places were selected for de- struction. Severa men were arrested on suspicion Of being connected with the explosions. but all were released because nothing could be found to connect them with the crimes.
 Most of those working on the case seemed 10 agree that one gang was responsible for the outrages in Phila delphia and seven other cities, the bomb explosions here last December and the mailing of internal machines in New York in April. It also has been established with fair degree of def niteness. according to the police, that Philadelphia is the headquarters of the violent radicals of the east and that their emisSary who blew himself to atoms in front of Attorney General Palmer's home in Washington was sent from this city
 Although every effort was made to establish this mans identity, nothing definite was learned. The proprietors Of a hat store located in the Italian quarter of the city. whose tag the bomb thrower's hat bore, said they had sold a large mum Der of hats answering the description wired by the Wash ington authorities and that they could not remember the sale of such hat 10 any particular person. They said most of their trade was with Italians.
 Every meeting place in the city of radicals of all nationalities is under tlose surveillance and particular at tentiou is being paid to those in the Italian section
 There was a gathering here last Sunday of a score of radical agitators from other cities according to Super intendent of Police Robinson, but uo7e cf them could be found today. Che theory is that final plans for the v'5o- spread bomb explosions were made at this meeting.
 The police department today issued orders for the arrest of persons post ing red-lc-tered notices of a general strike on poles and other places throughout the city. The call is for a general strike to free all political prisoners" and it is the opinion of the police that the aEitators aim to inau- gurate here a strike similar 10 the one that recently swept Canada.
