AN'O'CHKlt RIG HOM ll PLOT?
U. S. Mtoruey General's Residence
it.o;ly Damaged by Explosion.
Washington, June 2.- Radical ag
itators to-night attempted to inaugu
rate another reign of terrorism
throughout the country through tho
planting of infernal machines near
the residences of prominent men.
Within a few minutes after the ex
plosion of a bomb at the door of At
torney General Palmer's residence
here, with the killing of one man,
evidently the person planting the
bomb, reports wore received from
Boston, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Pater
son, N. J., Philadelphia and New
York of similar attempts.
The similarity of the reports re
ceived from the vnrious cities re
called to authorities the May-day
bomb plot of a month ago. The bomb
planted under the steps of the home
of Attornoy General Palmor, in the
fashionable northwest section of the ?
city, wrecked the dwelling, smashed
In windows of adjoining houses for
a block, but injured no one within
the Palmer residence.
An empty suit case found near the
entrance, and a hand-bill signed "The
Anarchistic Eighters," printed on red
paper and worded in in (lamina tory
fashion, and serving notice of intent
of its authors to begin general war
on leaders of society, was the only
clue available at a late hour to-night.
The remains of tho man killed
were literally shredded over the
block and driven into tho asphalt
pavement.

Kan Ibo K?me by asking 'Will they
sign'.'' We on our part should reply
to-day with another question, 'Will
they negotiate?'
"If in Octobor, 1918, nn avowal of
Its sins had been)laid boforo the Ger
man nation," ho continued, "for its
acceptance instead of a preliminary
treaty regarding tho foundation of
peace, it would have continued to
fight. At present Germany cannot
tight any more, but she can still say
'no.'
"At tho momont when the moral
cloak of ponai Justice ls removed
from tho peace document it becomes
bearable to Germany to a certain ox
tent that wo, as tho vanquished,
must make sacrifices in powor and
goods. We realize this, but we de
cline to agree like criminals to our
removal into a second class position
among tho nations."
