Bomb Explosion a Novelty in Con- stantinople. Constantinople, July 24—The au- thorities are jealously guarding all de- tails of the futile attempt on the lite of the sultan. Although the outrage occurred at 1 p. m. the fact that the sultan’s life had been in danger did net become generally known until night, when it aroused widespread ex- plosion of this character that ever oc- curred in Constantinople. The major- ity of those killed or injured were sol- diers who were lining the road near the mosque. The authorities are great- 1y disturbed and unable to explain how the regicide passed through the cordon of troops which always bars the roads leading to the mosque as soon as the sultan leaves the palace. The plosion was heard as far as the Pera quarter. Besides the soldiers in the vicinity several horses were killed, ages were smashed into matchwood and the windows of the pavilion reserved for the diplomatic corps were broken.

Berlin, July 24—The secrecy with which the Japanese have screened the movements of their armies has caused the German general stafl to re-exam- ine the methods of organizing the army in times of peace or times of war so that important things shall not become known outside those directly concerned.

The annual maneuvers which will occur this year in West Prus will be conducted with much of the secrecy during the last day’s move- ments, when the new model portabla| bridges are to be thrown across the | Rhine in a few hours under fire, per- mitting the movement of twc army corps.
