GERMAN WAR PLOT SHOWN Irp

A German war plot that failed was
revealed in New York Monday.
Four defective bolts, taken from
the machinery of the transport,
Mount Vernon, told the tale. They
were discovered by engineering
forces of Commander r. d. Gate
wood, director of the shipping
boards division of construction and
repairs and placed on exhibition at
his office.
After the Mount Vernon-former-
~ the Kronpripzessen Cecilie, the
famous gold ship" that raced into
Bar Harbor in the early days Of the
war-had been seized as .roop ship
her German crew cut two-thirds of
the way through the four six-inch
Doits tnaf connected the engines with
Inc Lain crankshaft. The skillfully
@.Lade cuts remained hidden by the
fittings of the engine, and were dis
covered only recently when the en-
gines were taken apart.
1t is believed the bolts were left
barely holding, with the hope that
the craft would creep into U-boat
lanes and fall prey TO the underseas
craft when a strain on the engines
came with the order for full speed
ahead.
But luck or toughness of steel per-
mitted the liner to make dozen
round trips through submarine in
tested seas, carrying from 5000 TO
1000 men. Just to round things out
she encircled the globe to bring
troops home from Russia.
The Mount Vernon had several
narrow escapes. rnce she was tor
pedoes and thirty-five of her crew
killed.

Tapestry In History.

During the Italian Renaissance the
art developed in subtle treatment Of
color and shading, and Flemish tap
estry reached its height of artistic per-
lection in the magnificent pieces from
cartoons by Raphael and other Ital-
ian masters.
Royalty supported the industry at
this period. Incidents of history were
woven into design with threads Of
gold and silver, and even jewels. 9th
ers were melowed by soft colorings of
wool, with their high lights supplied
by silken threads. The dyes. often as
costly as the gold and silver. have
held their colors for centuries, and II
has been beyond the modern chemist
to solve their alchemy. No such COL
ors can be produced today, nor none
that are so unfadIng. When tapestry
making waned in Brussels. France de-
veleped the art, and under Henry Nv
and Louis XIV the Gobellns were
famed for their perfection of work
manship and color.

Spruce and Hemlock.

II is not difficult to distinguish be-
tween spruce and hemlock In the
forest, when one learns to notice the
following points: The spruce has stiff
pointed leaves Cor short needless, its
bark scales are never bright red, and
the cones-smaller than those of the
pines hang down on the branches.
The hemlock, on the other hand, has
soft fiat needles, often two-ranked,
that is, growing on two sides of the
stem, so that the sprig has a fat
tened appearance; hemlock bark
scales look red, when broken of, and
the dainty little cones stand erect on
their branches, falling apart soon
after ripening, so that no old cones
long remain on or under the trees
where they grew. Lumber from the
two trees may be distinguished by re-
membering that that of the spruce is
white in color, while hemlock wood
retains its faint reddish tint.

CANNOT but feel constrained to
express my opinion of the mis-
- guided imbecile who recently at
tempted to drive man from the home
which was his by right of purchase by
throwing II bomb into his front yard.
OF the motive which prompted this
bomb thrower there can be no doubt
He felt himself to be superior to the
Negro. and did not wish the latter TO
occupy house in the neighborhood
in which his house is undoubtedly
situated.
BY his bungling attempt to frighten
the family from the vicinity he places
himself upon plane infinitely lower
than that of the colored family
against whom the act was directed.
1t is such heudstrong and thought
loss acts us this which have time and
again inflamed the spark of ami
mostly that has burned deep in the
breast of both white and black since
tile importation of slaves began in
16l0.
John Brown, would-be patriot and
abolitionist, by his attempts to per-
sonally eliminate the pro-slavery fac
tion of the country, precipitated
feeling which resulted in the civil war
The fact that he was for the col
ored man and the men in question
against him is mmaterial 1t has the
snrnn herring uDOn the question as
has the recent bombing on Gilpin
street, for it is an unprecedented
and thoughtless act pertaining to a
deliciate issue of paramount impor-
tance, the Negro question.
Similarly, the race riots of Chi
cago, Tulsa and other sections have
been the result of just such violent
and unwarranted interference with
personal rights and liberties.
There can be no doubt that some
thing should ana must be done to
arbitrate the racial difficulties of the
United States, but it must be II united
action, arbitration, and with both
sides as well satisfied as may be.
That one man, fiery and deter
mined though he may be, should take
upon himself the mission is absurd.
and If the offender is discovered and
captured he should be prosecuted
without regard to the possible justice
of his motive.-M Mediator, Denver, in
