Police Expect Other Arrests in
Sensational Attempt to Kill
Judge and Head of Force.
Philadelphia, Jau. 1.—Further arrests
are expected in the* bomb outrage explo
sions which wrecked the homes of Su
preme Judge Von Meschziker, Police Su
perintendent Mills and Ernest T. Trigg
Monday night. The police are still con
fident the explosions were the deeds of
I. W. W. fanatics.
Revenge against the judicial and po
lice authorities for enforcing the law
against sedition and the display of the
red flag of anarchy iu this city, police
officials said, furnished the motive.
Eight houses adjoining the residences
wrecked were damaged. The_ three
homes are in widely separated sections cf
the city. The authorities believe the
Trigg bomb was intended for the home
of Municipal Court Judge Gorman, who
resides next door.
The 'entire police force of the city is
working on the esse. All federal agen
cies are co-operating. One theory is
that one party of men, using an automo
bile, had committed all three, outrages..
Bolshevik Circular Clue. •
At the scene of the explosions the po
lice picked up circulars which contained
the defi of the bomb throwers. The
heading read: "To the exploiters, the
judges, 'policemen, the priests, the sol
diers." This was followed by 200 words
of an harangue on the rights of the
people. . , ,
Justice Von Moschizisker expressed
the belief that his home was attacked
simply because he is the highest court
officer in Philadelphia.
Announcement of an arrest was made
*>v Superintendent Mills, who declined to
make known bis name or teli wher* he
was arrested.
"This man is probably responsible for
the explosions," said Mills.

Failed to Blow Up Fourth Plaoe.
A fourth bomb, a "dud ' which failed

by a policeman, one of several groups
dispatched to the homes of prominent
citizens after the explosions to scarch for
bombs. , , . ,. .
The intended victim of the bomb which
did not explode Superintendent Mills
said, is widely known: One report was -
that the house where it was found is oc

official.
Superintendent Mills said today: i

Survivors of Terrible Massacres Corroborate Am
bassador Morgenthau's Disclosures; 2500 Beat
en Dead in Turn, But Two Escaping.
London Times Cable Service, Copyright i
1918, by Public Ledger Company.
London, Dec. 28.—Ambassador Mor
genthau's account of the Armenian mas
sacres finds tragic corroboration in the
following in the Times:
The following statements concerning
the manner in which in 1915 and 1916
the Turks endeavored to exterminate the
Armenians have been officially attested
by British officers, each witness being
subjected to close cross-examination.
The.first statement is by Miss B. E.,
an Armenian from Harput:
"I started with 19,000 people of both
sexes from Harput in June, 1915. At
Eanut 5,00 men were removed, at Jur
bab 2.000 men and 2,000 invalids. We
left these people and soon after saw
smoke. A boy of 15, who escaped, said
they had all been burned with kerosene.
Near Verashohr we were stripped of
our clothes and given rags later. Three
women hid their gold in their mouths.
At Rasal Ain, I and 29 other women
and one boy bribed the Cherkes to put
us on a train. At Aleppo I saw gold
teeth torn from women's mouths."
Another Armenian woman, Miss G.
L.. deposed as follows:
"I saw 35 children thrown into the
river at Ehasbu by gendarmes. Those
who swam ashore were weighted and
thrown back. That was in September,
1916. About the same date, near Chol
locho. I saw about 30 women disem
boweled, and at the same place, half a
mile from my tent, I saw some smoke
rising from places where I knew over
1,000 women and children were en
camped. The children who^ escaped told
me the rest were burned."
Mr. E. of Aria testified:
"An Armenian woman told me that in
August, 1917, a number of children and
adults were put in a cave near Ciaibia.

SMS PARIS WIITEI;
MAKEPEACEDPEBLY.
j I
Paris, Jan. 1.—(By the Associated;
Press)—Etienne du Naleche, director of j
the Journal des Debats and vice presi
dent of the Society of Paris Journalists,
has given the Associated Press the fol
lowing statement concerning the practi
Cal application of open diplomacy to the \
peace congress:
"The war,which is ending is a war of;
the peoples; the peace will, and ^ it
should, be a peace of the peoples. The
sessions must be public, in the sense, at
least, that the public ought to know on
what basis they repose and to what com
binations they are attached,
"There is no question of publishing re
ports of the sittings of the congress as j
is done in the case of legislative sittings,
nor of divulging the conversations be- ;
tween the plenipotentiaries. But each,
plenipotentiary ought to have the right
to make public what he has commum-;
cated in writing or verbally, to the con
gress.
"If discretion prevents him from re
vealing what has been confided to him
by his colleagues, his duty toward his
I eople bids him enlighten the country on
the manner in which he is carrying out
lis mission. Discretion is a condition,
nwessnrr to every negotiation, but it: I
should not bind a plenipotentiary as aj
secret of the confessional binds.
"It is clearly subordinated to the ob
vious condition that the maintenance of j
secrecy will not do injury to the nonor ;
or interests of his country. Otherwise
plenipotentiaries—those without scru
ples—beir.g assured of absolute secrecy,
could make most offensive suggestions !
end propositions without risk.
"As regards decisions, they should b"
made public as soon as each is reached.
Care should be taken to avoid placing
the peoples brusquely some day before i
a complete collection of irrevocable de-1
cisions. |
"Hitherto the governmetns have al
ways taken precautions that nothing
shall be divulged before the definite clos
ing of diplomatic conferences. This has
been so because previous conflicts were
above all. conflicts of governments. But
the case is not the same for the present
conflagration.
"The right of each delegation to make
public its own declaration is the mini
mum. It would be preferable that a sub
stantial summary of the work of each
sitting or each group of sittings be c6m
municated regularly to the press. The
deliberations would be rendered more
serious, more fertile. It is the certainty
of secrecy wtr.eh has given advantages
to babblers and intrigues."

j Hunters Pray Disease Will Kill
i Wolves and Spare Moose and
Fur Animals.
Prince Albert, Sask., Jan. 1.—The rav
j ages of influenza are decimating big
j game in tb.e wild regions north of here,
! according to statements made by rcturn
j ing hunters. For some time smaller an
imals in this district have shown marls
j ed influenza symptoms.
One hunetr wao worked thru it wide
territory declared that he shot three
moose, all of which were seemingly ex
hausted before they were killed. The
lungs of the animals were so bndlv dis
eased that they could hardly ruu a mile,
he claimed.
Dr. Niehol, of Dedben, who has in
vestigated conditions in the big srame
country around Pelican lake and Witcb
ekan lake. 2<'0 miles north of here, said
he "would i".ot be surprised" if the in
fluenza would kill off large numbers of
'animals. Hunters are praying that the
plague will mow down the wolves and
leave moose, bear and fur bearing ani
mals alone.
Of course it is none of our business.
But a lot of the Corn Fed girls seem
to be saving wear and tear on thei*
corsets by wearing these blouse things.

walking some 100 yards, found it was
ful of children's bones. I can identity
the place."
Another witness made the following
statement:
"In Septemtwr, 1916, at Shedalo, I
was taken into a wadi with women and
children. We were beaten down with
sticks. , I was knocked down and lay
among bodies. A Boggara Arab camc
afterwards and drew me out. He came
across the river with me and carried
me to his tent, two da^s' journey away,
where I lived. As an Arab, I was tat
tooed with tribal marks lest the Chekees
should find me. After two years I went
to Hisibin with some women who went
to sell wheat."
A survivor of a party, deported from
Aresia thus deposed: :
"I left Aresia in a convoy of 1.000
men. women and children in July, 191o.
1 arrived at Aleppo three months later.
On the way a great number of them
were removed with their arms tied be
hind their backs, including my brother.
Many others, about 400, were killed,
while many others committed suicide. I.
with nine "others, survived the journey
to Aleppo."
Following is a statement by an Ar
menian of Aintebo:
"I left Ehendish with a convoy 2,500
strong in September, 1910. W e were
stripped of all our clothes and driven
naked for three hours. We were finally
driven into an enclosure surrounded by
gendarmes, where every one was mas
sacred iu turir. 1 was stunned, but re
covered to find myself covered with_ the
dead. I and another man escaped."
These are samples of the manner in
which the massacre of Armenians was s
carried out. The Turks are putting
every obstacle in the way of repatriation
of the survivors.

AMERICA! RETAKE
RUSSIAN VILLAGE;
A1MIN6 AT VOLOGDA
Battle Under Semi-Arctic Con
ditions; Russian Naval Bri
gade Plays Important Role.
Archangel, Jan. 1.—(By the. Associ
ated Press).—American troops Monday
recaptured the village of K^dish on the
middle sector of the northern Russian
front and Tuesday pushed forward their
lines a distance of two miles south of
the village in the direction of Vologda.
The advance, the first attempt of the
witner, was carried out under semi
Arctic conditions and in the few hours
of daylight which obtain in this region.
The road along which the allies advanced
leads in the general direction of Vologda
and crosses the railway line at an im
portant strategic center from which the
bolsheviki have been operating.
An important role in Monday's fighting
was taken by a Russian naval brigade
which had been trained by American and j
British naval officers. The Polish troops \
who participated distinguished them-'
selves in the early days of he fighting
along the Dvina. The Poles and Russians
are filled with hatred for the bolshe
viki and neither ask nor give quarter in
combat.

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Jan. 1.—New
Year's cheer was brought to many sol
diers here by the publication today of
instructions from Washington that ac
tion will be taken immediately to pay all
enlisted men who have not been paid in
full because of the absence or loss of
their service record.
A supplementary service record is or
dered to be prepared from affidavits of
the enlisted soldier.
Many complaints recently have been
made in behalf of men who were forced
to do without pay. The matter even
had "been discussed in congress.
The cases' of wounded men returned
to this country had been particularly
marked, practically ail of the wounded
men arriving here being unpaid for pe
riods ranging from one to nine months.
Soldiers sent here from other camps also
have been unfortunate in having no serv
ice records.
The men are to be paid in full to Dec.
21. 1018, and it is ordered that each fol
lowing month they also shall be paid.
Any arrears in pay then lacking because
information is lacking may be obtained
by the soldier applying to the command
