Police Bending Every Effort To Solve Mystery of At-

ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. A. Headed by Gov. Louis F. Hart, who offers $500, rewards for the capture, dead or alive, of the man who placed a bomb under the American Legion Building here Wednesday night to- day totaled $5,50O. Subscriptions by business men account for the balance.
 Five men were arrested as sus- poets yesterday and today but rigid police examinations failed to reveal any direct connection with the out rage on the party of any. Police authorities all over the state are CO., operating in the search for the guilty man. ~-
 That the dynamite was discovered while the fuse was burning and the fuse extinguished is considered little short of miraculous. More than fifty persons were in the building at the time and heavy loss of life would have been inevitable had the charge exploded.
 The dynamiter was detected crawl ing out from under the building By Henry G. Lancaster, who at once investigated and sounded an alarm after stamping out the fuse.

 Mme Aspasia Manos, the morgan atic widow of the late King Alex ander, continues to attract general at tentiOn in Athens. She now lives by herself in rather modest dwell ing in the kiphissia Avenue. The Princes and Princessos who preceded King Constantine and Queen Sophie to Athens rather look upon Mime. ManOs as an intruder, and gave her the cold shoulder. Queen Sophie s motherly instincts, however, got tho best of royal blood prejudices and she received her morganatic daugh- ter-in-law with open arms. Alexander was Queen Sophie's favorite son.
 Queen Sophie has given orders for the employment of a first class English nurse in preparation for the birth of Mime. Manos' child.

Actin4 Judge Advocate declared Punish ment for offenses in the army hayC been based since 1914 on a consensu cf those fixed by different State. for similar civil offenses. The ex ecutiye order reduces maximum pen alties for such offenses as frludI lent enlistment, desertion and other peculiarly military in nature. ou maximum penalties seldom have beer awarded for those offenses."

TURKS TO DEMAND
 REVISION ALLIES TERMS FOR PEACE.
Five Specific Changes in Treaty Will Be Asked at
 Near East Conference.
WANT DEFENSIVE ARMY
Modification of Military Clauses, Maintenance of
 Sovereignty Demanded

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 4. = Open and passive resistance to the Allies peace terms in Turkey has crystallized into five demands which will be presented by Turkish lead CTS at the coming conference on the Near East question, according to au- thoritative announcement here today. The demands are:
 Abrogation of privileges granted to Greece in the Smyrna region.
 Autonomy for Thrace.
 Maintenance of Turkish sovereign ty over Turkish territory in Armenia,
 Modification of the clauses of the treaty infringing on Turkish sover- eighty.
 Independent mo lfication of mili- tary clauses so that Turkey may maintain a defensive army.
 NAGPUR, India. Feb. 4. The Turkish peace treaty was chaarcter- ized as the "greatcst travesty on justice, a monument of hypocracy
  pledges" by Dr. Ansar in his annual address at the session of the Ali Indian Moslem League here, He do manded it's revision which, he de- clared. there seems little doubt was being seriously considered by the Allies.
 The speaker denounced the "hor- TOTS of the Panjab reign of terror" and supported the non-co-operative movement in progress among the na- tives as a protest against British rule.
 There is a divine injunction to Mussulmen to practice non-co-opera- tion against the opponents of Islam, ' said Dr. Ansar There appears to be a deadlock between the beauroc- racy and the people of India which is entirely because India has awak- ened to a keen sense of self respect and is determined no longer to sub init to a secondary position. whereas the bureaucrat is still thinking in ob- solete terms of governing with the mailed fist.
 Tn order to win the cooperation of the people of India. our alien friends must first of all disabuse their minds of the idea of race supremacy and do ample penance for it's past wrongs"

To the superstitious blacks 1t had seemed

made them able to fly through the air.
Even though dimly, they realized what ma.

machines were and had heard of the aero

was the men who had the power Of flying

something in the planes of the flying ma

In this boat that flew, then, we're the

bodies lifted 1t and made 1t go. II these
men, or even one of them, could be cap

partook of the flesh be able to fly? Ger
tainly they would!
Therefore the followers Of the snake god
watched as Lieutenant McFayden left the
aeroplane. They did not modest him; they
had a better idea. When Pilot Morris
shouldered the machine gun and started
away three natives volunteered to guide
him to the camp Of the nearest marines.
He accepted their aid and marched away.
They took him by devious trails further
and further into the jungle. He did not
know It, but behind them were other
blacks, carrying on their shoulders the
planes of the flying ship.
At last Morris grew tired. He sat down
at the side OF the trail and dropped the
heavy machine gun. One Of the natives
slipped away and crept back through the
bushes behind him. Suddenly rising, this
murderer swept his machete down upon
Morris's bare head The three then car
