Warning to Diplomats

The State Department issued a disquieting warning to U. S. diplomats abroad. The warning advised taking precautions against having the respective diplomats' heads shattered and the respective diplomats' houses blasted by bombs from incensed radicals and Communists. As a result of the conviction of two Italian gunmen (Sacco and Vanzetti) who are under death sentence for murder in Massachusetts, U. S. diplomatic missions in Paris, Sofia, Lisbon, Buenos Aires and Montevideo have been bombed or threatened. In several instances buildings were damaged but no loss of life has been reported. Foreign sympathizers with the convicts declare the Italians are being punished for their radical beliefs.

*The Treasury's policy of preparing for 1928 is already evident. Originally $4,175,650,000 of third Liberty Loan bonds were sold. The $2,568,000,000 outstanding shows that the Treasury has already absorbed about one-half of the issue.
