(Br Associated Prf.t.)
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. " 26. Six
mspects are bing held tonight in con
nection with the explosion of the
bomb which Saturday night dealt
death to nine members of Mil
waukee's police force and one civilian
at police headquarters as an examina
tion was being made of the. instru
ment. "We hape a part confession which
if it develops, may lead to the arrest
of the persons who were instrumental
in the bomb plot," said Captain of
Detective John T. Sullivan today.
The Department of Justice at
Washington is co-operating with the
state authorities to determine if there
is any federal jurisdiction in the mat
ter. "It is time that a certain gang of
assassins dwelling in this city be
brought to justice," said Mayor
Daniel A. Hoan in a statement today.
"No expense or energy should be
spared in dealing with those who at
tempt to terrorize the people and
;iolate the law."
Mayor Hoan requested that all
flags be displayed at half mast in
honor of the victims of the explosion.
It was believed by the police that
the bomb, which was found against a
wall of the church, was timed to ex
plode i.bout 8 o'clock Saturday night
during services at the edifice. The
exolosion. it was thought, was in
tended to dispose of church members,
making it impossible tor them to ap
pear at the trial of the eleven Italians
planned to start on Wednesday on
murder charge in connection with a
riot of several weeks during a re
ligious service at the church.
At mat time two detectives were
killed. ,
Twenty-Five Arrested.
Twentvfive Italians are under ar
rest, including Guisseppi Mazuinni,
the Italian 'who carried the bomb
from the basement of the Italian
Icvangelual church to the police sta
tion, but no action has been taken
by the police as the result of the
questioning which the prisoners un-
aerwent today.
The fact that the bomb had been
placed in the baiement of the church
and timed, to explode when the
church was crowded, and that con
siderable enmity existed between
Key. August Guiliano, pas or of the
church, and some unknown persons,
has caused the police to look to that
quarter for a key to the mystery.
Gruesome Sights in Wreckage.
The casualties which resulted from
the explosion remained at 11 dead

ing ieen fou.id wl n, the demolished
room ' in police headquarters ;was
searcneq. Aiany gruesome signis
confronted the searchers and great
crowds ot curious persons stood out

the scene ,
The federal, state and county offi
cials, as well as detectives from the
police department from Chicago are
investigating the , facts surrounding
the traKCcr. and by some it was in
timated that through the peculiar
construction of the bomb the makers
might be known to the authorities,

SENATOR STONE NOW
DEMAHDSMORE WAR
Wants United States to Issue
Declaration Against Ger
many's Allies, Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria.
Washington, Nov. 26. Declara
tions of war against Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria, Chairman Stone of the
senate foreign relations committee
declared today, seem "exceedingly
advisable to simplify a situation now
anomalous."
"We are, in fact," he said, "now at
war with Germany's allies."
Senator Stone's only reservation
was that such action by congress
should be in harmony with the policy
of the executive branch -of the gov
ernment. Has. Whole Support.
Although he voted against the de
claration of war on Germany, Sen
ator Stone has reiterated that the war
once begun has his whole support.
His statement today was takerras in
dicative of the agitation for war on
Germany's allies, which will face
congress when it convenes a week
from today.
"There should be an understand
ing, of course," said Senator Stone,
"between the two branches of the
government before any action Is
taken. But we are, in fact, now-at
war with Germany's allies. The sit
uation is anomalous. It would, in
my opinion, simplify matters greatly
if we should formally declare war
against Germany's allies. It seems to
me exceedingly advisable.
Are Fighting Italy.
"I have understood that some, if
not a large number of Austrian
troops have been on the western
front. Thev mav now or soor. be
actually, fighting against the Ameri
can forces. Anyway, the Austrians
are desperately engaged with taly,
which is one of our allies, just as
much as France or England."
To have war formally declared
against the German allies also, said
Senator Stone, would simplify mat
ters of domestic concern, such as
measures to prevent espionage.
New or amended war tax legisla
tion, according to Senator Stone, who
also is a member of the senate
finance committee, should not be 'un
dertaken until after a thorough sur
vey of the situation. He said there
was no doubt that in many respects
the new war tax law can be improved
and probably will be to remove in
equalities and injustices. The session,
he predicted, would be a long one.
Stabilization of Bread
Production Helps Farmers
Washington, D. C, Nov. 26.
Stabilization of bread production by
government supervision extending
from the wheat field lo the bakery
with a consequent elimination of
hoarding and speculation makes it
possible for the farmer to receive 40
per cent of the price paid for the loaf
of bread, the food administration an
nounced today. It was' pointed out
that last year the farmers' returns
represented less than 20 per cent of
the selling price of bread.
Federal control of production has
had a decidedly stabilizing influence
on all branches of the industry, with
the result, according to the food ex
perts, that a marked decrease m bread
prices has been effected recently in
many cities.
World-Herald is Reaching
Into the County Treasury
The bill of the World-Herald for
publishing the 1917 Douglas county
delinquent tax list has been filed with
the county clerk, calling for $2,989.45.
The advertisement was measured by
the Warfiejd agency at 1,735 column
inches, which, at the rate made by
the World-Herald for city official ad
vertising, would have figured for the
same space only $2,115. A little dif
ference to the taxpapers of $774.

Escaped German Soldier
Tells of Officers' Brutality
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) Serving a year and three
months in the German trenches and
making his escape from a hospital in
Belgium while recovering from
wounds and ,coming to the Untied
States as a stowaway on a ship is
part of the record of Herman
Schmidt, spending the winter on a
Charles Mix county farm. Although
he served in the German army,
Schmidt is as patriotic as the most
loyal American and announces that
he will take out citizenship papers as
soon as he is permitted to do so.
After making his way to the United
States he took up his residence in
Montana and will return to that state
in the spring. The tales he tells of
the brutality of. some of the German
officers in handling their men and
other unfavorable conditions behind
the German line would make the
average red-blooded American more
anxious than ever to continue the
present war until Germany has been
completely defeated. Schmidt, glad
to escape from the bondage of the
German empire, already has become
an out-and-out American and is not
at all backward about letting it be
known.

fusic - a war-time necessity
A famous general once said that the only enemies he ever feared entered the battle with a song
on their lips. .
Patriotism is three parts emotion and music is the language of the emotions.
' Courage is born of the heart and music speaks straight to the heart. 1
In times that try men's souls, every force which keeps the nation's5 spirit bright is a great and
positive asset. Every means of combating trial with happiness must be carefully conserved and fostered.
A nation at war requires food for its soul as well as ior its body. The morale of the fighting
forces must be maintained. The mental and moral resources of the people must be preserved at their
full vigor. Recreational and cultural activities must provide the needed relaxation, revive the droop
ing spirits, soften the sting of sorrow, instil new ardors of bravery and determination. The sound of
laughter must be heard in the land.
Instinctively men turn to music for entertainment and inspiration. ' Music speaks a tongue that
all can understand, that nothing else can speak. ' It reaches down ta the hidden springs of feeline,
replenishes and freshens them. To the mysterious power of music, the pulse responds and hopes run
high. Under its healing influence, gloom and despair lose their evil grip.
Imagineif you can, a nation.,going into war without the thrill of music! Imagine, if u can,
a nation battling through the dark days of a prolonged struggle withqut the heartening comfort of music!
The Victrola is literally the nation's chief source of music. More Americans and Americans in
the makinghave learned "The Star Spangled Banner" from the Victrola than from any other one
source. The Victrola is in millions of homes. It is in camp, on shipboard, in the trenches, the hos
pitals, the schools, and the churches. It is the principal source of cheerfulness and entertainment to
the soldiers and sailors of Uncle Sam. "Back Some" among the folks behind the army the farmers,
the men and women in the fields and the factories, in city and in country, the Victrola is one of the
greatest if not the greatest means of diversion. -
It is the mission of the artist to create beauty and pleasure. It is the mission of the Victrola to
carry them directly to the people, to plant them in their homes and thus to contribute to their mental
and spiritual well-being. ; N
The tremendous popularity and use of the Victrola and Victor Records indicate how strongly
established they are in the affections of the people, how completely they are fulfilling a national need.
The Victrola performs no mean service to the nation. ,
