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

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,

,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.

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

and graciousness of the hostess, the

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

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.

cupied the chair of zoology at tho

with long close -fitting velvet dresses;
yesterday it was deep blue stamped

stand it, and her hair, gold with red
lights through it, stands out like a
halo all round her face. Princess

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. The Queen used much

It is pointed out that, should Ger-
many go bankrupt, it might drag
Europe into en abyss. Therefore, as
it price of acceptance a the En-
tente's peace terms, the allies may
offer a loan, with the greater part

This would enable Germany to
meet her treaty obligations and at
the same time furnish capital to re-
vive German industries.
This move is accepted in some
quarters as proof that by a comming-
ling of political economic and finan-
cial consideration, the United States
plan the "conquest" et Europe.
The pouring of American, capital
into Russia has resulted in the be-
lief that an allied treaty with Nicho-
las Lenine, chief leader of the Bol-

Wilson to return tit the United Staten

His Own Medicine.
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."
Brougham, like many others, was
growing tired of the monotonous
formula, and one morning, meeting
Jones near the temple, he addressed
him thus: "Now, Jones, I am going to
put a getestion to you, and I don't
care which way you answer it. How
are you?"—Ladon Expose.

AIR CHAMPION
,Holds Record With 78 Vic-

'British Major, Dead, Had

London; May 4.—The Air Ministry
has decided that so far as can be ascer-
tained the champion British airman
of the war was the, late Major Edward.
Mannock. Lieut. -Col. William A.
Bishop, the Canadian aviator, who
won the Victoria Cross, comes next.
Major Mannock brought down 73
enemy machines, and Lieut. -Col.
Bishop 72. Of all the allies, Lieut.
Rene Fonck, the, French ace, holds "the
record with 78.
The late Baron Richthofen, of Ger-
man circus fame, claimed to hold the
world's redbrd for the number of
machines he had destroyed, but ,the
Germans worked on a different Sys-
tem respecting official confirmatiOn
of each victory, and his eeeord has
not been confirmed.
Major Mannock was born in India
of British parents, thirty 'ye are ago,
and was considered the greatest aerial
tactician the Royal Air Force pro-
duced. Among his awards was the
War Medal of the Aero Club of Amer-
ica. He was finally shot down by fire
