Reads Like Fiction.

(By The Associated PressO
Warsaw, Dec. 17.-Plots and coun-
terplots reading like a chapter from
fiction, were involved in the search
for clues in many parts of Europe by
American secret service agents, which
resulted in arrest here yesterday Of
Wolfe Lindenfeld, Z. alias William
Linde, in connection with the Wall
street explosion in New Y ork in Sep
tember, 1920. ,.a.5a-
Lindenfeld has fully confessed, the
authorities say. naming the ringlead=
ers in the plot. which he declared was
aimed at J. p. Morgan. the Internal
machine exploding prematurely.
Names Others.
According to Sylvester Cosgrove and
Paul Altendorf. who trailed Linden
field, the suspect has named FIVE primo
ipals in the plot now in Europe, who
received $4,000 from the Moscow
third internationale through the New
York communists. Lindenfeld has de-
clared his willingness to return to
New York as soon as possible and
thorities say he was exposed in 1895
as a Russian secret agent and ned to
America at that time, returning to
Europe last spring.
Atendorf came to Europe in Feb
ruary last. while Lindenfeld came
over in March. During the summer

istic centers. obtained clue which
led him to seek Lindenfelds acQuaint-

Warsaw two, months ago, posing a1-

THE IRISH FREE STATE.

There Is worldwide cause for great
sciolciny In the Irish settlement. 1t is
an agreement for peace founded In
justice and common sense. 1t In n
treaty subscribed TO not under dure.s
but in the spirit OF forbeerancc and
cancellation.
The peace negotiations In London
seemed TO have reached their darkest
hour when the terms of the settle
mert We're agreed upon. They had
dragged on for months, until a fina'
breakdown had looked inevitable. Sud
denly from the conference chamber
IN Downing Street issued the news
that the treaty OF peace had been
signed. The situation had never been
hopeless, because behind the delegates
was the lmpelling force of the demand
of the people OF Great Britain and
Ireland that the way be found 10 aver;
further civil war.
In the recognition of the Irish Free
State the Sim Fein obtains for Ire
land not merely the full rights of self-
government for Ireland but the sub
stance OF national independence. AZ

gates also gained their point, while

OUR ARMY ON THE RHINE,

The gradual withdrawal of the
American troops from the Rhenish
territory which they have occupied
since the end of the war will give sat
isfaction to our own people and 10 the
German Government. We cannot but
feel that our soldiers are out of place
In Germany after the conclusion of
peace. The idea of their doing any po-
lice duty in Europe is repugnant.
IL may be that we shall not be able
10 bring them all home for a consid-
erable time, because in our treaty of
peace with Germany we have taken
over portions of the treaty of Ver-
sailles, and the allies appear to enter
tain the opinion that we are bound Ia
maintain a military force in Germany
as long as they, in order to insure full
fillment of German obligations. This
point may be left to the Judgment of
President Harding and his advisers.
For the present the British and
French representatives at the inter-
allied conference on the cost of the
armies of occupation do no more than
express the hope that a small Ameri-
can force will remain on the Rhin,
until the German promises are kept
and the allied forces entirely with.

WASHINGTON BRIDGE.

The fine new bridge across the
Brundywine river at Washington
street IL not yet ready for regular and
complete traffic, but yesterday II was
opened TO the Boulevard line of the
Wilmington & Philadelphia Traction
Co., and ears of that line are running
regularly across IL. This will be a
great convenience to many residents
of the north side.
Trolley. service across the old bridge
came to an end on August .. 1920,
since which time all rail traffic 20 and
from the north side has been by way
of the bridge at Market street, and
foot travel has been diverted in n like
manner. This has been long extern
sion OF such n serious deprivation.
But time is required for the con-
struction of such n bridge as the one
now spanning the Brandywine at
Washington street. II is splendid
structure, representing an expenditure
of more than fully three quarters of n
million dollars. But IL was built with
a view to future needs, and no doubt
will answer all purposes for years tc
come. While the date of its entire de-
votion to traffic purposes has not yet
been announced. IL il not believed this
