Pittsburgh, Pa, April 29,-Wli-

sutd here tonight, declared that the
recent primaries were warning
that democratic senators should
lose no lime in voting for the RAFT
fication of the peace treaty,
Delay in ratification may de-
luge the world in blood and flood
our country with woe said Mr.,
Bryan. THE recent primaries
should be a warning. In Georgia,
less than one-third Of the demo-
Gratis stood for the treaty without
reservations Two-thirds We're di-
vided about equally between ratifi-
cation with reservation and total
rejection OF the treaty. In Nebras-
ka, Senator HitchcOCk's vote would
not have been worth counting had
he been compelled to rely on those
who endorsed his attitude on the
treaty.
My fight was made on plat
form declaring for ratification with
reservations already agreed upon
by a large majority of the senate.
Senator Johnson's vote Is largely a
protest against the treaty and
blundering of the senators who talk
for the treaty but quarrel over res
erVations.
"A campaign in favor of ratifi-
cation without reservations would
result in overwhelming defeat, but
what is infinitely worse, 1t would
prevent the consideration of press
ing domestic problems and leave
the world to chaos. Our counsel
and advice today may contribute
more to world peace than an army
of a million men would a year
from now.

fication now II must share, even If

GERMAN NAMES Of

ARE OBL|TERATED


Poznanz, Poland, April 29.-Poz
nan, which for more than a hun
dred years under German rule was
known as Posen. is undergoing
many alterations as a result of the
outcome of the war and the peace
conference which gave Poznan back
to Poland. Just recently, the task
of changing the name of every
street in town from German to Po-
lish was completed, the task having
been worked out by commission
which began its duties soon after
Po2nan became city of the new
republic.
One of the principal thorough
fares which had been known as
Berliner strasse has been renamed
the street of December Twenty

sidered the very last day of the
Germans in PoznanZ. A great

convincing German officials that it
would be useless to endeavor fur

Gradually since then German res

them were born in poznan or vi

Within the past fourteen months
it is estimated that approximately
1000 Germans have departed from
Poznan, most of them being off,

tions under the German regime,
and their families, and officers of

Department of Justice Men
Find Binding and Gagginy
of Girl Is School Prank;
German Letters Recovered

The mystery surrounding the
finding of young girl bound and
gagged in the closet of a sorority
house, one block from the campus
of the state university, Sunday af-
ternoon, has at ;asL been cleared
up. 1t was coEege prank, a de-
duction arrived at by the Journal
after investigation and set forth
in report published Wednesday
morning.
Federal Agents Chamberlin and
Powell, who were called into the
case to clear up an alleged German
letter mystery, decided that mas
much as the two cases were linked
together by rumor, that they would
clear up both. About two hours af-
ter investigation was begun they
had solved the mystery.
The principal of the story is
Dorothy Brooks. l5-year-old high
school girl, vivacious, imaginative
and possessed of a love for romance
and mystery, characteristic of
many girls of her age.
The rest of the cast; A sorority
houseful of university girls, the
matron, two high school girls, two
former professors (absent, but lend
ing possibilities in past activities
as only professor of German
could).
The stage: A sorority house, for
merly owned by the professor of
German and also Inhabited by the
second professor, both of whom
were away and did not, it appears,
leave forwarding addresses. Doors
and passageways not common to
the ordinary American home.
Props: Any amount OF old letters,
some of them written in German,
an alleged communication from
General Won Hindenberg, maps OF
seaports and German badges.
German spy stuff
The action" dates back to the
discovery of the letters, maps,
badges and what-not several
months ago. Rumor has 1t that they
were found in the attic of the So
rority house and that the high
school girl, who was staying there
with her sister, a university stu
dent, had fallen through a trap
door and hurt her arm.
The next step was the disappear
ance of the most important or the
German maps, letters and badges.
According to rumor, they We're
taken away in the night. From that
time on the girls began to notice
that small articles were missing
At times it was said men in uni
form had appeared in the vicinity
others were seen walking about In
the dusk. On one occasion giri
reported having seen one OF the
former professors on the street
There was but one reason Tor ms
return: he had come back to re-
cover the papers. This, by the way
was before the papers actually dld
disappear.
Strange Noises Heard.
Strange noises were heard ABOUT
the house and when at last came
the discovery of the girl bound ard
gagged in the closet the inmates or
the sorority house were In very
uncertain state of mind.
The girl had. she said. been
struck from behind and rendered
unconscious. She had felt fingers
about her neck, fingers without
rings on them. She had heard
women's voices, one of them made
deep and husky. as u to initiate the
voice of a man. Things were taken

A Journal reporter got a tip
but on the request of the depart
ment of justice, agreed to hold the
story until further Developments,
The following day it appeared in
another publication. With the 'cat
out of the bag" the journal pub
lished its deductions the following
morning. branding the binding and
gagging of the girl as a college
prank, and stating that the perpe-
traitors were frightened beyond con-
fession by the great mystery that
had suddenly sprung up about
them.
AS with all mystery stories and
plays, the solution is simple when
the facts are known. The high
school girl was not frightened by
the German connection and made
use of the secret passage to scare
the other girls. The strange noises
were made only in the spirit of run,
as the prank of the little girl who
hides in the hall and cries, boo"
to her homecoming father. In the
same spirit of fun high school friends
bound her and put her in the closet.
There were three other persons in
the house at the time. They did
not hear any suspicious noises. Miss
Brooks was not struck on the head,
but may have found the closet
closer than was anticipated.
/ Mountain Made of Moiehill.
The German letters were taken
away in the daytime-not at night
and by persons who were not
Germans, but who considered the
move a wise one. Federal agents
decline to comment on this matter,
but admit that the letters, badges
and papers are now in their pos
session.
Now that the mystery has been
cleared Dr. ID. S. Hilrs investiga b
tion ends. Some of the sorority
girls are laughing at the prank that
victimized then; friends are assur-
ling them that they would have been
as badly frightened under the cl-
cumstances. AS for the girl. she is
returning to her home at Cimarron.
All because circumstance lent their
aid toward making mountain out
of a mole hill.

Washington, April 20. - Plots
against the lives of more than a
score of federal and stab officials
have been discovered by the de-
Dartment of justice as a part OF

Attorney General Palmer an
nounced tonight.
The assassinations and assaults,
Mr.. Palmer said. were included In
ahe May Day program organized
by the communist tabor par " and
other radical elements and were
in addition to strikes and other
disturbances intended by the radl-
Gals as an effort in behalf of peace
with soviet Russia.
State officials marked as "yic-
tims' have been notified by the
department the attorney general
added, of the information In the
lands of the federal government
and their cooperation requested in
repressing radical demonstrations.
The department has information,
according to the attorney general,
that the instigators of the May day
demonstration have been working
''in direct connection and unison"
with leaders of disturbances set for
Europe.
As in Europe, attempts are be-
ing made to incite strikes in all ba-
sic American industries, Mr..
Palmer said. although he did not
believe they would be successful.

am just making public some Of the
things our agents have discovered.
But if will to upset our nations

anything, the radicals may cause

Mr.. Palmer said that while he
could not disclose the nature of the
communist labor party's plan in
connection with further strikes,
leaders of that organization had
concentrated on several important
industries and that the demonstra-
tions planned threatened to cause
trouble in the way of walkouts.
All of the propaganda advocating
May day disturbances referred to
'inhuman treatment" of the soviet
government of Russia by the Unit
ed states and the allied powers Mr.
Palmer continued. In foreign sec
tions of industrial centers, appeals
for peace with Russia have been
employed as the main method in
stirring up dissatisfaction with this
government, Mr.. Palmer ssaid.

simply are meant to emphasize to
