"Germany is in no position to ask our sympathy in view of whit has taken pla?e." he added, "and wouldn't get any if I had by way." Aberdeen, Wash.. Feb. 3. After an all night search, police today again took up the trail of the bomber ho attempted last night to blow up the American Legion building here. The attempt was frustrated only by the timely pass ing of Henry Lancester. a Legion naire, whoso curiosity, when he saw a man crouching near the building, led him to investigate with the re sult that he . discovered a .smoking fuse attached to 26 sticks of dyna mite. Fifty Legion men were in the building at the time, most of them making out applications for the state bonus. Lancaster was able to furnish the police a good description of the man. Every avenue of escape from the city was closed at once, all trains and boats have been watch ed and it is believed the man is still In hiding here. The paper in which the dynamite was wrapped is believed, however, to provide the beat clue to the bombers identity. It was a copy of a Montesano weekly publication and addressed to S. Tagava, Japanese section fore man at South Montesano. Tagaya was taken into custody and ques tioned for four hours by the police and Sheriff Elmer Gibson but was released at the end of that time, the authorities coming to the conclu sion that neither Tagaya nor any of his crew had anything to do with the bombing attempt. Lancaster was unable to identify Tagaya or any of his crew. Two other suspects were arrested by the police as they were attempt ing to board the blind baggage of a train for Seattle. One of them had t quantity of fuses and the other n mall bottle of explosive. Neither is believed, however, to have had anything to do with the attack, though they are being held in con nection with the attempt to blow a safe at Cosmopolis early yesterday morning. Officials are still working on the heory that the bombing attempt an the Legion building has a con nection with the Armistice day murders at Centralia and the sub sequent trial of the alleged mur derers at Montesano.

Germany does not consider the terms of repara tion decided upon by the supreme allied council as being the final settlement of the indemnity ques tion, out the busls of future nego tiations. This was indicated by Dr. Walter Simons, foreign minis ter, who spoke before the Reichs tag yesterday. His address was viewed as a cautious statement by party lead ers who were willing informally -o discuss It. The prevalent oplnlo-i was that Dr. Simons had no? burn id his bridges behind hirn, and that his presentation of the Ger man attitude might enable him to gain important time, both in anti cipating the attiude of the new American administration and in reaching a definite settlement of the fa'e of Upper Silesia. Rumors have been current that the German cabinet would resign. 'iut they have been given little redence. Only the communists stand out as the opposition.

General Dawes, banging the table, said . "There's no news In It. If I wasn't here strutting around and swearing there would be no news In this." Pi-i'Kliiiig Defended.
