DUBLIN JARRED
BY BOMB BLAST
Ira. Blamed For Explo-
sion Near Detective

DUBLIN, April 25.-P-A large
area. in Dublin was Jared today
by a heavy explosion which police
attributed to a time bomb planted
bv the outlawed Irish republican
army near the Dublin castle head
quarters OF the Irish governments
special detective branch.
An official statement said five
detectives were injured, none Sc
riously.
The bomb exploded in the lower
yard of Dublin Castle, in the heart
of the city.
Invaluable stained glass windows
of the Chapel Royal were destroyed
and Birmingham Tower and ST.
Patrick's banqueting hall were
damaged.
Premier canon de Valera visited
the scene shortly after the explo-
sion.
A bomb exploded on the ledge of
a building just outside Dublin
Castle on Armistice Day, 1887, and
shattered a British coat of arms.
No one was injured on that occa-
siOn.
Last week, two L. r. A. prisoners
died of self-starvation after a hun
ger-strike. Three others called off
the strike after the second death.

GUARD PORT INTERESTS

The senate yesterday passed the rivers and
harbors bill, which includes long-sought prof

Barring a White House veto, therefore,, we
are justified in believing that the work here,
so necessary for the proper development of
the port, will proceed whenever an enabling
act appropriating funds follows the authorize
ton act now before congress-. But there is
always a possibility that congress, swayed by
every wind of sentiment, may change its
course-in this case, white it's appropria-
tons further in response to increasing pleas
for even obstructive economy-and leave some
port cities either with no appropriations at
all or with so little money that needed work

WHERE RUSSIA STANDS

Since the Russo-Finnish war ended there
has been widespread speculation on wha
STAIN is up to. He has been strangely silen
and, as far as distant observations reveal, as
strangely inactive. But that he has been con
tent to let matters drift without effort to di
rect the undercurrents of diplomatic maneuv
ering to the advantage of Russia is not to be
taken for granted. Of all the dictators, STAIN
is the most astute and devious.
Something of what he is plotting is indi
Gated in a dispatch from Paris by P. ]
PHILIPS, published in the Ne10 York Times
After summarizing Russian policy up to the
Finnish peace, Mr.. PHILIPS writes that many
situations have arisen which must be dis
quoting to Germany. Moscow's strict observ
ance of the terms with Finland ran counter
to hopes in Berlin, realization of which would
have given the Nazis material advantages in
their war against France and Great Britain.
Then, the Soviet officials, much to the cha,
grin of HITLER, showed sympathy with Nor
way. Suddenly, on top of that, Moscow is dis,
playing great interest in Yugoslavia and the
Danube valley. Here are more complications
which Berlin cannot view with equanimity.
But there is more to the story. 1t is re
ported that STAIN has ordered Third Inter.
national organizations throughout the world
to "~evolve' in their attitude toward the wal
against Germany, and begin, at least in those
countries engaged in the war, to join theiI
efforts openly to support the national cause
What this means, Mr.. PHILIPS does not try
to say, but believes it does not help to
strengthen military Germany. At the same
time, he declares, it is equally disquieting to
those countries which have taken a firm anti
communistic stand. That is the way STAIN
operates. His talent for keeping under cover
until he has opportunity to strike during pc
RODS of confusion is we'll known. Mr.. PHIL
LIPS concludes:
For the moment it is, however, in the
Balkans that the Russian diplomatic
moves are being most closely watched,
and there they seem as definitely anti
German in their ultimate aim as they
were in Poland and the Baltic, where the
Germans were completely hoodwinked.
That does not, of course, mean that
they are pro-Ally or anything of the kind.
They are simply pro-Russian and prob
ably pro-communistic.
While this indicates that HITLER has little
to expect from his good friend in
the world has no reason to look for homes
help there. Always and in all crises, STAIN
is STALIN-and nobody else.

There are many types of pneu
monia organisms. Some types yield
more readily to the new serum
treatment than others. If the pneu'
monia germs are accurately typed
and a serum acting directly against
that type is used sufficiently early
and in adequate amounts, we may
expect the death rate to be reduc'
ed. Unfortunately not all types OF
pneumonia respond equally favor
ably to this treatment.
Many so-called pneumonia cures
have been tried and found wanting
until the newer remedies came into
use. The most recent forward STEP
in treatment came as the result
of experimenting with a new drug

The Home of Heroes

Thus, beautiful Arlington cemetery, on the
gentle hills and ravines above the Potomac,
has a different atmosphere than any graveyard
in the land. 1t is not a place of sadness and
weeping. but rather a field of honor a
place where the living may come, not to
grieve, but to pay homage to those who have
given their lives to a nation and a cause. And
military folk look on Arlington as a field OF
honor, where it is their privilege to lie down
with the heroes who have marched before.
1t is this feeling of special privilege, of al
most private ownership, which causes the Ar
lington staff, headed by a colonel, occasional
trouble.
For years, it has become the traditional
right of the men who are to rest in Arlington
to select the site of their interment.
