VICTOR L - BERGER most of the warring countries

Germany may be in the best position because it made its

that while (iermany will re

England cannot be com
pletely crushed, on account
of her peculiar insular situa

Therefore, the question is
being asked everywhere
WHAT IS TO HAPPEN
AFTER THE WAR?
It is clear on the face of it
that an indemnity to cover the
expenses of the war cannot
possibly be paid by any na
tion.
Even without any additional
burden, the hardship and
misery that must result will
be such as to make occasional
violent uprising probable in
most of these countries.

Blame Crowley for Explosion
After Crowley's arrest. Walter
West man. of a local larinch and
tugboat company, told of a man
claiming to be a stevedore who
tried to rent it launch while the
barge, later destroyed at Seattle,
was taking on munitions here.

Officials believe the stevedore
later secured another launch and
placed a time bomb causing the
Seattle explosion.
Westman will try to Identify
Crowley as this man.
Arranged Bomb Plots
He is formally charged v.ith im
plication in anti-ally bomb plots
headed by German Lieut. Robert
P»y, at New York.
Federal officials say he traveled
about the country, arranging the
placing of bombs on hhl*>s and in
munitions factories.

puzzled Friday over the apparently
straightforward story told by Fal

from Taconia. that an organised
gang of men, financed by repre
sentatives of the German govern
inent is .responsible for the destruc
tion of l'ler 14, with a million-tin!-
