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. RANTZAU TALKS OE PEACE. Says Gormans Would Have fought ' on hut fer Hopes Entertained.

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."
