Public Backs
Bond Appeal
But Heavy SoIes
Still Required

An appeal made Thursday to
Mount Clemens for the purchase
of bonds at the rate of $12,500
per hour until midnight Satur-
day, to make up the deficit in
the city's bond quota, brought q
splendid response, bond chair
man Martin c.. Schwartz reveal
ed today.
Activity at all bond issuing
centers was stimulated as soon
as the newspaper story was read
revealing Mount Clemens $780,
900 behind on its quota. One
man telephoned Schwartz and
asked to be put down for ST.
900 bond - an extra bond he
had not planned to purchase.
No figures of progress are
available at present, but the
bond purch asses are slowly
mounting, Schwartz says.
However, he points out that
today and Saturday, when many
pay envelopes are being opened,
a heavy sale in extra bonds is
expected. He urged extra bond
buying-"even at the sacrifice
of some real happiness" - in an
effort to reach the quota.
With additional corporation
purchases of bonds other than
E Bonds, the city's total in this
respect was swelled to 1884 900
by a further S234,214 ALLEGATION
Thursday. Schwartz is confident
of the city reaching its quota in
this type of bonds, but the sale
of E Series bonds slumped dur
ing the past week.

Fire Alarm Hint

New angles have appeared in
the false fire alarm nuisance
that has tormented fire and po-
lice departments. for a year.
Up until now, youthful prank
sters, and such, have been sus-
pected of turning in the false
alarms. But, at 3:13 a. m. Fri
day police answered another
call at South and Queen and
were told by a man that he saw

the other thin. The authorities
now have a new angle, perhaps
charming, TO work on.
For the fiscal year ending
June 1, 1914, more than 40 false
alarms were turned in for an all
time high, and the City Com
mission offered standing re-
ward of 500 to anyone for in
formation leading to the convic-
ton of offenders.

Father 0rIemanski,
Back in u. s, Calls
Soviet Trip Success
By the Associated Press.


SEATTLE, May 1.-THE Rev.
Stanislaus Orlemanski, the Polish
American priest whose visit to Pre-
mier Stain of Russia has stirred up
a heated controversy in Congress
and in Catholic circles, was en- route
to Chicago today after telling re-
porters here that his conferences
with Soviet leaders were very sue
ceSSful."
Father Orlemanski, whose home
is in Springfield. Mass, arrived here
last night by plane from Fairbanks.
Alaska, and left shortly afterward
on Northwestern Airlines plane
for Chicago. He did not reveal who
flew him to Fairbanks from Moscow.
He refused to comment further
except that "at the proper time and
place we will make a statement"
The priest indicated his mission
was not yet concluded and that fur
ther work was to be done. He did
not elaborate on what his mission
was, but while in Moscow he said
Stain was very friendly disposed
toward the Roman Catholic Church"
and that Catholicism would remain
the religion of Poland.
Stain" Father Orlemanski said
in Moscow, will not tolerate any
transgressions in this regard"
Between planes here, he declared
that even if the mission turns out
a failure, at least it will be an ef-
fort"
He said he had visited the Ukraine
and had gone beyond Kharkov. He
said there had been great destruc-
ton in Russia and told of desola-
ton where every structure that
might be of use to man had been
leveled to the ground.
In this country Father Orleman-
skis visit was criticized by Cath
olic leaders and inspired an inquiry
in Congress as to why a passport
was issued to him and to Prof. Oscar
Lange of the University of Chicago.
Secretary of State Hull said the
travellers went as private citizens.
