 On the desk Of one of the members Of the Morgan firm was jagged piece of cylindrical iron about four to i've inches long and two inches in diameter. This was one of many sim- liar pieces of metal found near the scene of the explosion last night and this morning and gave force to the theory that the explosion was caused by a giant bomb or torpedo.
 At the sub-treasury the days busi- ness opened without interruption. but at the assay office, in front of which the explosion occurred, it was found necessary to close the front doors. and access to the building was not obtainable without permission.

NO PEACE POSSIBLE
 TILL TIMES CHANCE
AmamentS Must Be ReduCedF First,
 Baker Declares.

Waterloo. la, Sept. 17.-There will be no peace in Europe until the bur- den of armament is lifted and the fear of war destroyed, Secretary Bak- CT declared here today. in a speech devoted wholly to discussion of the treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations covenant.
 Challenging a statement from Sem ator Harding's speech accepting the republican presidential nomination that the league was "so utterly inn potent to prevent wars that it has not been tried" Secretary Baker de- clared the leagues operation has already saved one war, though Sena- tor Harding did not know it'' He recited the submission to the league council by Sweden and Finland of the Aland Island dispute. s
 Under the old order" MT. Baker said, Finland would instantly have occupied the Aland islands with her military forces: Sweden would have mobilized her fleet, cut off Finnish ships if possible and prepared expe- ditionary forces for immediate at, tack"
 The secretary also took issue with what he described as Senator Hard ing's assertion that some such inter- national court as The Hague tribunal with teeth in it was the sole agency necessary for the preservation of world peace.
 All of which sounds very simple" MT. Baker continued, but whose teeth is the senator going to put into The Hague tribunal. His criticism of the covenant of the League of Ma tions is that it may require the use ot the armed forces of the United States. Now our armed forces are our teeth. If The Hague tribunal is to have teeth it is to have force, and the only. kind of force which operates among nations is armed force."
