purpose of the statement to be to tell
Americans that Germany has not op

so he adds:
“Why this fuss, seeing that a state
of war has existed for weeks? it looks
as though on the grave of Gertnan
Ameriean peace hope must be planted
that we are not so bad after all, which]
is hardly sound propoganda."

j'l’he department of commerce todav
started a world-wide search for plati
num needed for making high explo
sives and for many peaceful indus
tries in the United States. Co-opera
tion of manufacturing jewelers of the
country has been obtained to the ex
tent of using the present supply as
sparingly as possible during the re
mainder of the war.
No large articles of platinum, such
as mesh hags and cigarette cases, will
he made hereafter, in line with this
policy, and all of the metal, which is
nine times as precious as gold, that
can he spared to the trades will he
relinquished to the jewelers.
Foreign commercial attaches have]
keen asked to investigate conditions'
in Australia, Tasmania and Borneo, as.
possible sources of supply.and Co -
umbia and Russia also, with a view
of adding to the production.
Alaska will also be investigated as
one of the possible new sources.
TWO ATTEMPTS MAKE
TO PLOW I P SHIPS I
BALTIMORE. May 7.—Two differ
ent attempts to blow up ships clear-;
ing from this port, by the use of
bombs, have been discovered w'ithin j
the last few weeks. Each was unsuc
cessful, but the fact that explosives
were taken aboard the vessels while
they were in port is causing the local
customs officials some worry.
Time bombs were used in each in
stance, and the reason they did not
explode is believed to have been due
to the timing mechanism being brok
en when the explosive was dropped in
fo the ship.
It is thought the bombs are being
: placed in the coal while it is in the
| cars at the mines or en route to this
Icily. It this manner the bombs would
I be dumped into a vessel through the
| big chutes, which accomodate whole
carloads at once.
This rough treatment which the
i bombs receive, while it is not believed
isufficient to explode them, damaged
the timing device.
