Street traffic has been suspended and all restaurants and moving picture shows and other places of amuse ment and public assembly have been tightly closed and may remain so for some time. French authorities have allowed the German city officials until July 20 tc produce the person or persons who threw a bomb from a street car in this city Sunday afternoon. | Should tho German officials fall tc comply with this demand, more stringent measures will ho un dertaken by tbo French to force the Germans to surrender the gull- ty party or parties. Belgian authorities at Oladheck have arrested forty-eight cltlgon* of that city, all of them prominent personages, to ride on the military trains as hostages to guard against further display of sabotago on the railways. The bomb which was thrown from the street ear Sunday after noon In Bochum, exploded In h huge automobile parking elation at Weltmar, a suburb of Bochum. Sovoral citizens, Including the bead buorgomaster and a number of other city officials, were placed under aixeat Immediately following the bomb explosion, but nil were released shortly afterwards. What methods of reprisal the French will lake In tho event that the persona who throw the bomb Is not delivered over to them hv the date set, has not yet been made known, but will probably consist of establishing a blockade around tho town and further cf.'ttng it . „ , (Off from the rest ot the country - LAVONIA, Go.—“The farmers ,|de. are mad as lire and they are be ginning to think like hornets,” Corra Harris, Georgia author, de clared Monday in addressing mem bers of the Georgia Press Asso ciation on the subject of their relations with the public. “I would not go so far Bs to say that you are the leaders, or even the exponent! of public opinion,” Mrs. Harris told the editora. “As near as I can make out, we have no leaden now.
