America was startled on Monday night. by a series of

bomb outrages in Washington, New York, Pittsburg. Philadelphia, and other places. At Washington the. Attorney•General, Mr. Palmer, was the intended victim, but he and his family escaped; while one of the assassins was blown to pieces. In New.York and Pittsburg the houses of two Judges' were attacked.. The outrages were obviously the:work of theAnarchist organization, which is probably subsidized. by Lenin. Some Americana, profess sympathy with -the Bolsheviks. We are sure that. the American -people dislike Bolsheviks -quite as much as we do, and this murderous plot will help to convince America that the Bolshevik centres of infection in Petrograd and Moscow must be suppressed with the least possible delay.
