Three More Terrorist Bombs in Mails. • New York, Report—Comparatively little lbloodshed marked radical ',celebrations in the' United States of International Labor Day. The most serious rioting oc- curred in Cleveland, where one man was killed and more than 100 persons, includ- ing 11 policemen, wore injured. Next hi Importance was a battle between the police and paraders in Boston, euring which two patrolmen were shot, and many arrests made. The riot call was sounded in Chicago when radicals attempted to hold a par- ade, which had been forbidden. Several persons were arrested, but there were no casualties. Soldiers and sailors in New York broke up several meetings at which ultra -sen- timents wore expressed and also raided the office:3 Of the Call. a Socialist labor newspaper. They made no attempt to wreck the publishing plant, but destroy- ed a large quantity of Socialist litera- ture and roughly handled a dozen em- ployees of the paper. A. small army of service men tried persistently to -night to break up a meeting at Madison ..Square Gardens but were beaten off by 1,300 patrolmen mobilized around the building. Scores of men in uniform were beaten with nightsticks. THREE MORE DOMBS. Red plans for the most gruesome May - Day tragedy In history miscarried be- cause of the accidental discovery of the bomb plot which had nation-wide rami- fications. None of the score and more of the infernal machines entrueted to tho mails has claimed its intended victim. 1.1xpl3sive experts contend that the bombs were powerful enough to blow a man to pieces, but only one person has been seriously Injured by the deadly devices. That was a negro maid employ- ed by former Senator zIardwick. Three. more 02 the dynamite -filled packages were feund in the mails to -day. They were addressed to et:meter Overman, who conducted the Senate investigation into disloyalty; to Senator William IL Ling, of Utah, and to Prank K. Nebe- ker, of Salt Lake City, Assistant At- torney -General, who was a special prose- cutor during the I. W. W. trial in Chi- cago. Another addressed to Senator Smoot, of Utah, is known to have been mailed but has not been traced. Nev York apparently was the centre of the plot, but no arrests have been made thua far, although scores of agents of the Department of Justice, pest -office inspectors and detectives have scoured the city for some promising clue. The haunts of reds and radicals have been carefully watched, hut the chief hope of success in the chase rests In the possi- bility of finding on the bombs finger- prints which may correspond with those of anarchists and radicals who have been arrested at some time or other. FOUR CIINBUAL STItIICES. The climax of the May Day celebra- tion by Now York radicals came to -night with a IllaS3 meeting at Madison Square Cardens, which adopted resolutions ad- vocating four general, strikes, three of five days' duration Una A, fourth of in- definite length, unless Thomas J. Moon- ey and Warrens,K. 13111111gs aro released from prison or granted•new trials before July 4. The meeting to -night was the only one of a dozen planned for te,-day whicii was not broken up by soldiers and sailors. who demanded that the American flag be displayed and the "Star Spangled Danner' sung. It was not the fault of the service men that they did not "clean up" the Garden, to -night, They tried hard enough, but were overwhelmed by the police. Elaborate preparations had been mada by the municipal authorities to protect the Mooney meeting from interference, An arrny of 1,318 police, under command of Chief Inspector Daly, guarded all ap- preaches-go the Garden, and they hold at bay mere than LOCO men in uniform recently returned from France.

Are Kept Strictly to Their Reservation. ,Versalllea, Special Cable — The German delegatum to the Peace Con- gress is rapidly assuming it poeition 01 equality, in numbers at least, with the delegations of the various Linea and associated power. Twenty more subordinates of the delegation arrived in Versailles last evening and this morning, travelling on regular trains under escort, Their arrival brings the rceter ra the delegation to a total ot 218, while still moro arrivals are ex- pected. A brisk interchange of telegrams is in progrees with Berlin, a courier also leaving for the German capital to- day with official and press deepatchee. The tendency of the Germaa dele- gation's subordinates, particularly the girl stenographer, to break bounds, has led Police Commissioner Oudaillee to instruct the police posted at the three hotels to turn back any Teutons found wandering off the reservation, and form a flying squad of detectives to round up any of them discoVered in unauthorized parts of Vereaillen. The commieeioner has issued a warn- ing that any attempt, on their part to go to Paris to see the sights will lead to their instant banishment to Ger- )"AllYe*urvey. of the long renter of the German delegates reveals the presence of a fourth German Minster of State, In addition to Count von Brockdorff- Rantzitu, Herr Landeberg and Herr Giesberg.

The "fighting men" or "doughboys," to give them their two popular names, are taken to the all ;he sights in batches In big autos; 1 sannot help wondering how mach they will remember of Paris when they get auk, but so long as they can tell their' people they have been there, many will no doubt be satisfied. I. never forget one young fighting man telling ate lately: "Ohl yes, I had forty-elght hours in Paris; it was enough:. there is nothing to it!" Luckily he did not seem to notice my exptesslon of pity td amusement. If it were not for the high price of living and. ;or the dif- ficulty, even increasing, of finding accommodation, Paris would be a de• licious residence for the next month or two.

What might be tailed the first eiztory WU- bition of war portraits had. an in- teresting private view yesterden, NVEdn there, was a large gathering o ntna. collates. It was interesting to note that tor the first time many of the pain:ere have grown used to seeing in vai. form were M mufti (many being ilready demobilize,d), as were the usual throng of critics, writers and their friends. They struck me as looking a little less smart and alert than of old, • their expressions were more intense and serious, their clothes not so "dernier crl," and it was touching, I thought. Somehow, where,ver one goes there is sunshine and shower to be met close together; one cannot for an instant entirely throw Qf f the war etmosphere—that must wait for time. No one, forgets, even whilst trying to be happy once more in thee present. Among the interesting portraits was • one of Clemenceau, a gentle, philoso- phic -looking old tiger, this time, who did not look as though he had a claw left! There is an important canvas showing the Belgian royal pair in their latest guise, but it scarcely does them justice, is a little wanting in 'Lie and animation. It Is by Albert Besnard, so, of course, attracts mach attention, and the Queeil is a pretty gracious figure as she sits easily on her grey charger, math as she looked on her triumpbant, thankful entry in- to Bruges, 'Ghent and Brussels after our conquest. Out latest royal visi- tors have been the handseme Queen of Roumania and her daughters, on their way to England; everyone knews that Queen Marie adores Paris and Paris- ian clothes so it is an -open, secret that she has been busily shopping in her incogeite tranquility. It is only to a few of the Roumanian colony, who are amongst her personal friends or acquaintances, that she has shown her- self. At present we have no one to specially run after, thougtevery short- ly President Wilson will be back, and there are alwys the Peace Delegates In our midst to make a little stir. Mrs Pankurst gave discourse on femin- ism told kindred subjects yesterday, but nothing of A SENSATIONAL NATURE. occurred, and no one seemed particu- larly thrilled. A. matter of What should be world-wide interest is caus- ing a great stir, namely the opening of the fourth Lyons Fair, It is hav- ing a magnificent success and Impress- ing all the nations a the civilized World, for it has entirelycut out the Leipzig Pair, which In old pre-war days carried' all before it in the trade world. All credit is due to the plucky, clear-headed inaugurators, who have over-riadeh all obstacles and difficul- ties in their efforts to have this fourth Fair the best ever seen. And, more gratifying than anything has been the success of our great Canadian section, grid the whole -hearted apprieation It has received from the public and the prep in the mother -country and Frenee, from the opening day they have realized the 'value of Canada's ef- fort and have been geriereate to a de. - goo In acknowledging this. At a goat banquet given wider the auspiees 62 Sir George roster and the Hon. Philippe Roy the splendid mayor of Lyons, 'Mon:deur Herriot, was the hon. °red guest, to Ulm. has been due from its very debut, the triumph of the Lyons Fair. The place is full to over- flowing, for MI the buyers who were wont to bestow their patronage on Leipzig are now at Lyons, In the Canadian section are numbered '12 handsome stands, -with a comprehen- • sive show of forestry, agriculture, -trade, fisheriee, ole, The United States have 100 exhibits and tnglroul ' 130. It, is openly asserted that there Will be a great Increase in a wry bully trade between Prance and Canada tut a result of the position Canada hati taken in this, the World Market Place. By the way, I hear that the first Lyons Intir was lield in 1419; it is on- ly since the armistice that Eaglieh traders have shown great energy over thie year'smarket, but now they open- ly declare that ,the world shall see that the Allies can produce better geode than the Germans, and that ere long coMmerce between the conquering nations will go on briskly in a truly fraternal spirit, It is it pity the lux- ury tax is still such a thorn in the Path to all purchasers; this month the big Paris shops nave undertaken to as- sure their customers that during the period of the great SPRING EXHIBITIONS. the Directors will themselves assume the burden of this .obnoxious tax, tea that •purchasers shall not have the painful realization to face that hav- ing noted the Pince affixed to any ar- Wee taey require there is yet the further sum, that is the luxury tax, to ee added -on. • The Paris silk and ribbon manufac hirers seem to teem surpassed all their previoussuccesses thle. year, for nem aave I Gem such ext.:melte materioes, °More and patterns. or course the pricee aro rather startling, but thee Sortunately at present the go erne arc narrow and enort, and the tailors aria arcesma,kors (seem incliped to icebp them ecOrather than have to ask their eucstomets t� pay more. The lack, es at lease ecarcity of British woollen materials th a sad handicap, for do their tfent, the French manufacturers cannot as yet come anywhere near ours, both for beauty and durability, the British goods carry .the day, and I fancy always will. There is quite a flutter In :diplomatic circles over the prospect of Lady Patricia RameaySs husband having the past of Naval Attache in Paris. They would Indeed be a popular pair, and the Canadian colony would be the first to show their appreciation of the appointment. There have been some charming re- ceptions lately given by the Commis- sioneraGeneral and Madame Roy, for Sir Robert Borden, the 'Canadian Min- isters, and other visitors or "work - em" in Paris; these parties are never be the least stiff, thanks to the fact and graciousness of the hostess, the rooms are spacious, and full of light and flowers, ae for the refreshments I often wonder what magician sup- plies Mme. Roy on these ea:claims, in these lean days! 'Tis true that things are gradually righting themselven at a popular tea:eaten yesterday I had real milk, and sugar, not eacharine, in my excellent China tea. There was no butter on the little sandwiches, 'tis true, but after them came delect- able cakes, and I shut my eyes tight when I saw the horrid little card with 75 centimes and 1 franc, each affixed to the dainty silver bandle of the cake -basket. For one dolthr you get but four tiny cakelete, so small and frothlike that you cbuld eat a plate- ful without being any the wiser, till the moment, for settling comes when you are both wiser and sadder! The disastrous events at KINMEL CAMP, North Wales, to which I scarcely like to,refer, have been regarded in exact- ly the right spirit here, amongst the French, who at once recognized that they in no wise cast the slightest renexIon on our magnificent Canad- ian armies as a whole, but were ra- ther a mere episode, provoked by aliens in their midst. Once more have I heard fom many Frenchmen of the marvellous deeds of daring of the Canadians with whom they marched shoulder -to -shoulder in the great days at the front, and they usually go on to laugh over the gaiety and good fel- lowship of our men and officers. People shake their heads seriously, none the lees, over the undoubted evil of having all this Boltheviet influence amongst us, it seeme, like the grippe, to petyade every portion of the world at present, sInd the neicrobe is as hard to find as the disease th to subdue. Amongst the latest arrivals in Parte th Nansen, the Norwegiail explorer, whose huge figure attracts attention when he takes his walks abroad. he now has a heavy moustache, white as tho snows of his native land, but he goes about in the moat eummery cos- tume. He has collo in the guan of diplomat with a MIEGI011 thie time, be- ing Norwegian delegate in the League of Nations, evidently he is deeply im- bued with Wilsonian Ideals, and brings to us, the alliee, the most whole -hearted sympathy jef _himself and his country. After discoursing lengthily to a well known' member of the Conference on the momentous question of the hour, someone asked me if he had forgotten or burled his predilections foirexplor- ing. He admitted that sometimes he bit homesick for the lands of ice and snow, but confessed that at 52 he no longer had the energy which once up. on a time carried him along, and that ho would probably, seeing that he oc- cupied the chair of zoology at tho Christiania University, amuse himself presently in pursuing his studies of the ocean and its contents, having al- readY started with the Atlantic. It has been pradically decided that we are to have two vont demonstrations In Paris, or rather sot of celehratiorts, the first when pettee is actually signel, the other when the French troops come home to receive their welcome and gratitude from the hands of their country men and.their Mlles. And, firtally, there vain be held a solemn REQVIEM SteRVICS, probably at the Pantheon, for those who have given, their lives in the war, when the 11111510 and Indeed all the ar- rangements will be of an eepeclally itt- ptOOsIVO and patriotic order. There is a great deal of "mending" and "pat- ching" going On in Paris, relies of the enemy raids by air ..and big uns are rapidly disappearing, and the buildings. Which had suffered aro being made clean and fresh again. I heard an Ameriettit remark that ruefully Withe hie people came touring over here to see the results of the war there Would be nothing even to nuttk the plaece of the invents.. I felt that he would have liked that a little red spot, such as still marks the site of Ritelea murder at nolyrood, ehotdel perhaps be left in the tragic nave of St. Ger- vals-desolPreA, Ile a reentento of the terrible massacre of the Innotents by the log -range gum, a gruesome idea, but those on clightseeing intento.some- times enjoy horrors, and 1 now people who still sigh for it eight , Of the Morgue, which happily for sme yore now has had its doors hermetically sealed except for those who have it just object for their visit. Another happier sign of the times is that so many •of the ehons which have been close -shuttered all these years of war, with a notice "Closed on account of Mobilization," aro once Mere open, and their stock in trade, such as they so far can be mastered, are arranged with an idea to "business as usual.' Many of the etreete through whieb. I pass daily are in .consequence much more cheerful and normal, and some ahops Which were with alfficulty kept open by the woman of the "firm" are once more manegea by it returned sol- dier or officer, as often as not. To return to matters Canadian, the French Government has 'heartily agreed to ...he request that a memorial in marble Shall be erected in Amiens Cathedral te the officera and men of the Cana- dian Dragoone who fell in the war, it will be interesting to manY, and a gratification to relatives to visit this e,xquisito old Cathedral and see that the valor of our soldiers has been ma- terially recognized. Each day of her stay in Paris the Iticen of Roumania is adding to her steel: of admirers, for she is not only looking extremely handsome and grace. "ul but the has the most fascinating manner and ouch pretty accent whet:. • SITE SPEAKS' PRENCII I ant well aware that I have already mentioreel her in this article, but is still here. We hardly expected her visit would have epun out so .ortg, but we only wish she would take e house here. She dresses very be- tiorningly, rather in moyen-age style, , with long close -fitting velvet dresses; yesterday it was deep blue stamped ,•elvet, just a tinge darker than het eyaeinth cycs, and it had a quaint jewelled belt to catch in loosely, ano- ther day with a dark blue dress she had one of the fashionable scarnsasher leaped around the hips in fir tree -men. She often wears a white toque, but her clear fresh skin can stand it, and her hair, gold with red lights through it, stands out like a halo all round her face. Princess Elizabeth is a heavier edition of her Pretty mother, but she also has a de- lightful smile and a great sense of mmor. I longed to aslc if she were still an adheeent of the suffragette cause, the looks strong-minded enough to have the courage of her opinions. rhe second girl is exactly like a very well-bred English flapper, with a charming smile for everyone who greets her. Somehow, however, Queen Marie overshadews everyone, and it will be a strange thing if her peesua- sive tongue—all slie utters having the stamp of verity --does not bring sub- stantial help from the French to her poor martyred country, which she seems to feel has been just a little neglected. She fully realizes the claims of Belgium, of devastated Northern France, but says, justly, that England and America have taken them under their wings, as it Were, whereas Rou- mania has been left rather too near Bolshevist Russia to over feel safe, and the people are now hungry .and ragged, and in sore need of being "pulled out" of the mini and set on their feet.

A certain baerister named Jones who practiced in Lord Brougham's time was in the habit of commencing the examination of a witness with these words, "Now, sir, I am going to put a queetien to you, and I don't care which way yen answer it."
