the Wall Street outrage strengthens
opinion here that both were the work
OF anarchists, who probably intend fur

There is no doubt that the explosion
in Genoa was due to a time bomb

damage in New York.
Bomb Failed in Purpose
Most London newspapers comment
this morning on the explosion, all,
with the exception of The Daily
Herald, which admitted receiving
S37o,OoO from the Bolshevik govern.
ment, accepting the view that it was
the work of american Bolsheviki.' -
The Telegraph says:
IF this was plot to deal a deadly
blow to capitalism it proved a com.
plete failure. The sufferers were
mainly quite humble people of modest
/ means, clerks of both sexes and other
lnconspicuous but useful workers.
Apart from a slight hurt inflicte d
upon j. S. Morgan, no Capitalist ap-
pears to have been SO much as
scratched. The plot can achieve no
purpose except TO arouse feelings of
Indignation against men who could
plan such an Infamous crime.
1T is nearly always the same with
tnese crazy les of society; they
MT out blindly and strike down scores
of persons against whom they can have
no possible grudge. Meanwhile the
civilized world will hope that the mis-
ereants speedily will be laid by the
heels and duly punished. They have
given signal which, we trust, will
not be without effect in other coun-
tries, causing effective steps to be
taken to guard life and property
against such diabolical crimes of dis
eased brains"
The Daily Mail, after pointing out
that this is but the latest of a crop of
outrages resulting from the literature
CT Trotzky and Lenine says:
"Civilized governments of the world
would act wisely in putting up an un-
climbable fence against these Grim
1na!s and announcing that their funds
Will be seized and they themselves
treated as ordinary robbers and muir
derers and denied the immunity of DO
litical OFFENDERS Then the Moscow
banditti and their friends will realize
that their own necks are in danger.
PlOtters In England
I'm this country they have rewarded
the deplorable weakness of our povern-
ment by conspiring against the state
and endeavoring to create a venal rem
tie press in order to cause a revolr-
ton" 0'o'o-
me Daily Express says: "There are
lot OF lunatics about, and only a ner-
son OF unsound mind could be guilty of
such an act. People who spread the
tent and envy have much to answer for.
Usually the high priests of agitation
are people who themselves are com
fortably off-theorists, addle.pated
babblers, who love to hear themselves 8
talk.
Their victims take them seriously.
Some day society will find a means to
deal with the trouble brewer"
The Daily Herald says: THE New
York disaster was at first attributed to
accident, but in a country 80 nervously
aPPIOACHSlSC aoOQS ISeOS the second
version was inevitable-the version
transiating a cruel accident into vicious

The Westminster Gazette says:
There seems to be little doubt that the
explosion was no accident, but was
planned and carried through by means
of tremendously powerful bomb. We
might say that it was the work of Q
madman, but things done on that scale
are not carried through by one man."
