Washington, April 11.?Without formally announcing abandonment of their neutrr^ity two more Latin-American republics, Argentina and Costa Rica, have given assurance of their moral support for the United States in the war against Germany. Argentina has notified the state department that she "recognizes the justice" of this country's stand against German aggression. The communication contains no intimation, however, that the Argentine authorities contemplate an actual break with Berlin. Little Costa Rica, just emerging from the throes of a revolution, sent word to her diplomatic representative here today that she indorsed the course of President Wilson and was "ready to prove it if necessary." These developments came hard on the heels of Brazil to break relations with Germany because of the torpedoing without warning of the Brazilian steamer Parana. The step was decided upon Tuesday, but not actual WESTERN STAND THINK EXPLOSION WORK OF GERMAN Eddystone Officials Call it "Diabolical Plot"?Death List Remains About 116. ! Chester, Pa., April 11.?A statement today by a high official of the Eddystone Munitions corporation placed the blame of yesterday's disastrous explosion on a disloyal employe, who is thought to have sacrified his life with j the 11H known dead, most of whom were girls and young women. 1 This amazing development late to- 1 (iav spurred on the investigations of i the catastrophe already under way bv 1 federal, State, county and local oifi- . [ cers and the officials of the company, j Numerous suspects were rounded up ' here, in Philadelphia and Villanova. < 1 Pa., and in Camden, N. J., and in each i case the disposition of the prisoners 1 ' was placed in the hands of agents of < the department of justice at Philadel- i phia. The arrests so far, however, apparently have furnished no tangible 1 - clue to the method used in the alleged plot. < The belief that the exnlosion was i deliberate is shared by Alba P. John- < son, president of the Baldwin Ijoco- 1 motive works, which owns the build- i ings occupied b ythe Eddystone Am- i munition corporation, and Samuel M. i Vauclain, president of the corpora- 1 tion. ] In statements today each expressed ] their conviction that the catastrophe was the work of "enemy aliens in ] carrying out a fiendish scheme." s Mr. Johnson believes the exolo- l sions were caused by a bomb or time 1 clock. Mr. Vauclain asserted the act f was "one of some maliciously inclin- t ed person or persons." i Mrs. Annie Keating of Trenton, N. i J., today told federal officials in that t city that she found in a railroad sta- i tion at Philadelphia on March 14 a j letter addressed to "N. K.", in which the writer said: "All ready to blow up Eddystone, send us help." On a sheet of white paper, she said, there would rough sketches of the Phila- ' delphia navy yard and the Delaware s river and a plan of Chester, Pa. The ' notes contained the signatures of two 1 1 foreigners, Mrs. Keating said. JONESVILLE MAN HONORED. 1 i First Lieut. R. M. Littlejohn, son 1 of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Littlejohn, of < . Jonesville, has been detailed to West ' , Point as instructor in mathematics, , and will leave the border for his home i in Jonesville in a few weeks, where he will spend a brief time before go- 1 . ing on to West Point for duty August 1. Lieut. Littlejohn is at present in command of the machine gun company, 17th Cavalry. His selection to < teach in West Point is an honor tie- i served, for he is one of Union county's brightest young men. 1 MRS. T. L. ESTES ILL. Mrs. T. L. Estes was carried to , Pryor's hospital last Thursday for a 1 very serious operation. She was des- < perately ill for several days but the 1 last reports are more favorable and it < is confidently expected now that she 1 will recover. Mr. Estes has returned < from her bedside, feeling that the crisis is over. i * i VETERANS HAVE MEETING. 1 At the annual meeting of Camp ' i.lies, u. u. v., fteki April 2nd, 1917, C. S.

The Wesley Bible class, led by the pastor of the church, Rev. J. W. Speake, met in the Edisonia theatre, and the at- ' tendance was .'140. The day was quite ( unpromising, owing to the heavy rains, and the attendance, in spitft of the weather, was a record breaker. Hon. A. C. Mann, magistrate for Union township, has moved his office to the first floor of the courthouse, in 1 the room vacated by the master. t iv promuiprated until today, the cabinet deciding to wait until it could perfect arrangements for caring for its interests. Today, however, the break was announced and the German minister at Rio de Janeiro given his passports. It is recognized that in defining her position so frankly Argentina has assumed the grave risk of having Germany break relations with her and jy some diplomats her attitude is regarded as little less than an invita;ion to Germany to regard her as un'riendly. Her outspoken approval of n the opinion of many here, towards ,he United States' course may go far, nfluencing some of the smaller LatinAmerican nations. THE FIDDLERS' CONVENTION.
