They proceeded in the direc tion of London, separating when they had covered about half the dis tance. I. "The east end of London has been attacked and bombed, but no reports have yet been received of casualties or damage done. Antiaircraft guns of the London defenses have been in action. A large number of airplanes are still up in pursuit." This is the fourth raid made by the Germans in the new series of serial attacks on England, in which airplanes have been substituted for Zeppelins, apparently on account of the success of the British in bring ing down the dirigibles. As on pre vious occasions, the airplanes made the attack in daylight. The last pre vious raid was on June 5, when eighteen airplanes dropped bombs on Essex and Kent.

URGED BY COMMERCE BOARD TO SELL PAPER Newspapers Found to Be Suf fering Greatly From Un fair Prices SITUATION IS SERIOUS | Exorbitant Profits Taken From Publishers, Investi gation Shows By Associated Press Washington, D. C., June 13.—Pool ing of news print paper production and importation under a government agency for distribution to publishers a' a price providing a fair profit to manufacturers was recommended to day by the Federal Trade Commis sion in a report on its investigation of the paper inquiry conducted dur ing the last year. Th commission also suggested that the government s-eek to induce Canadian authorities to establish a similar agency to co operate with the American, pool. In a letter transmitting the report to the Senate, which ordered the in vestigation, the commission asked emergency legislation to make the recommendations effective. It de clared that if the 1916 consumption of 1.775,000 tons of print paper is equaled this year, the cost to con sumers will be $105,000,000. an in crease of $35,000,000, or 50 per cent., over 1916, and that one-half of this increase represents profits to manu facturers. First Plan Failed The voluntary agreement arranged with manufacturers several months ago tor distribution of paper to pub lishers at moderate prices was aban doned, the commission reported, and the plan failed because no govern ment authority for enforcement ex isted. The situation is serious and likely to reach a panic state in a few months because of lack of sufficient competition among producers, said the commission. A preliminary report was pre sented March 3. The letter accom panying the final report to-day said:, "The efforts of the commission to restore competitive conditions in the news print industry expeditiously and to arbitrate and effectually pro ject a fair price for news print paper have failed. The plan failed for sev eral reasons, the principal reason being that the arrangement was vol untary and the, commission had no power or warrant under the law to make it effective. The manufactur ers signatory to the agreement no tified the commission that they would not proceed under such arbitration agreement. The result has been that news print paper has been billed and sold at the same exorbitant prices [Continued on Pitgc 13] Hubby Would Make a Fine Soldier, Friend Wife Tips Off the War Department By Associated Press Washington, June 13.—Among the thousands of letters reaching the provost marshal general's office these days from wives, mothers and sweet hearts asking exemption for their men, officials were amused to-day to find several from wives recommend ing that '.heir husbands be conscript ed. One woman said her husband didn't want to go to war, hut had no good reason for not going and "tipped" the War Department that it would be just as well to make a soldier of him. England Will Be Suing For Peace in Less Than Two Months, Says Berlin By Associated Press Copenhagen, June 13.—England is given less than two more months of life by Herr Von Heydebrand, conservative leader in the Reichstag. In a speech to his electors he quot ed a German admiral as saying: "We hope, yes, we are certain, that in two months at the most the condition of the English will be such that Great Britain will be finished." Herr Von Heydebrand had asked the admiral whether he believed Germany could win a complete vic tory through the submarine cam paign. The admiral's confident reply was used by the conservative leader to confound "doubters and luke warm individuals" found among the German masses, who are questioning in increasing degree the political and military efficacy of ruthless sub marine warfare. Herr Von Heydebrand also gave warning against hope of a separate peace with Russia and a consequent easy victory over Germany's other opponents. War Prohibition Bill Meets Approval of U.S. Senate Committee By Associated Press Washington, D. C„ June 13.—A new bill to prohibit manufacture during the war of foodstuffs into distilled spirits and malt liquors was ordered reported to-day by the Sen ate agriculture committee. Another provision of the hill would empower the President to requisition existing supplies of distilled spirits if necessary to conserve food sup piles or to secure alcohol for war purposes. The new bill Is designed both as a food conservation measure and a step toward prohibition during the war. It is not designed as a substitute for either the food production or con trol bills now pending, but as a distinct measure combining many prohibition resolutions and bills. The bill would, by congressional act. prohihit manufacture of non perishable foodstuffs Into intoxicating beverages and authorize the Presi i dent to prevent such use of them.

Wilson's Message Finds Support in Russia By Associated Press Petrograd, June 12. Russian feel ing on President Wilson's note em phasizes a cleavage between the tem porary Government and the Socialist element, the mildest of which is rep resented by the Council of Deputies and the most radical by the Bol shevlki faction, led by Nikolai Lenine. All the newspapers supporting the Government hail with the greatest enthusiasm what they term "the straightforward exposition of char terlstic American diplomacy." The Socialist organs, on the oth—' hand, accuse President Wilson of using high-toned language and vague phrases embodying principles unac ceptable to the Russian democracy, and even hinting that the declaration of the United States Government against a policy of imperialism and annexations la insincere. CONDUIT MAY BE USED JOINTLY TO ELIMINATE POLES Hopes Companies Will Get Together on Bemoval of Overhead Wire System City Electrician Diehl is hopeful of an agreement between the Postal and Western Union Telegraph Companies as to the joint use of an underground conduit of the Postal company, which will result in the elimination of the overhead system of the Western Union company in the central business dis trict. At the present time the West ern Union wires are carried on big poles In Walnut and Strawberry streets and the use of the underground conduit in question would eliminate all of these poles. As manager of the Postal Telegraph Company in this city, Mr. Diehl has made a proposition to the Western Union company for the Joint use of the Postal's conduits in the central district, and he believes the Western Union company will accept the propo sition. Wnntn Poles Removed This would eliminate the big poles on the northern side of Walnut street and also In Strawberry alley. Under the arrangement proposed the West ern Union lines will be carried across the river on the Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge. At the present time Walnut street is hedged on both sides by giant poles, those on tfye south side carrying the wires of the Ameri can Telegraph and Telephone Com pany long distance system. This cable Is carried across the river on the Peo ple's Bridge at Walnut street. The engineer of the contractors for the new Penn-Harris Hotel is strongly urging the removal of the big poles at the co.-ner of Third and Walnut, which are most unsightly and will interfere materially with the appearance of the new building. It Is altogether likely that some move will be made by the Board of Public Grounds and Build ings of the Commonwealth to elimi nate this line of poles, which also | crosses a section of the Capitol Park zone. Since the removal of the build ings in the Capitol Park area the line of poles in that section is more un sightly than ever. City Electrician Diehl is doing his utmost to have these poles removed during the present summer. Socialists Win Seats in Municipal Council By Associated Press London, June 13.

Jews Call For a Referendum on Palestine By Associated Press London, June 13.—Reuter's Pet rograd correspondent says that the first congress of Zionists of all Rus sia which met in Petrograd decided in favor of a plebiscite of all Israel ites on the question of Palestine. The results of such a referendum, it was held, should serve as a basis upon which a future congress could work in peace time when the ques tion of the creation of a center for Hebrew culture in Palestine must ibe raised. RUSSIAN SEES END OF RUL E OF HOHENZOLLERNS I Speaker Declares There Is No Prospect of Separate Peace With Germany "The Romanoffs have lost their job and it won't be long until the Hohen- j zollerns and Hapsburgs lose theirs," said a prominent Russian speaker at the noonday luncheon at the Cham ber of Commerce to-day. It was expected that Prof. Boris E. Shatzky, head of the Russian informa tion in this country, would be the principal speaker, but he was unanie i to get to Harrisburg and his place i was taken by A. J. Sack, who is con- I nected with the bureau and Is cor- i respondent for the publications of the I Russian ministry of finance. For an | hour Mr. Sack discussed the condi- ! tions in Russia and made clear that I there is not even a remote prospect j of the present government of Russia making a separate peace with Ger- j many. He explained that the condi- | tions in his country are much misun- { derstood by reason of sensational: stories cabled to American newspapers j regarding mere incidents of the revo- i lution which are in no way Indicative j of the real sentiment of the people. ! He expressed in considerable detail ! the attitude of the socialists ana i workingmen of the country and re- I called that the revolution had really! started in July of 1914 and was sus pended at the request of the revolu tionary leaders until after the war. | This resulted in an irmy opposed to! the autocracy fighting under the lead ers of the Czar. Safety For nomocracy "The great purpose of this war," he said, "is for the safety of demo cracy. The Russian revolution is an important step toward accom plishing this. And when this Ilus-i sian democracy is firmly established! it will be made safe because it rep resents one-seventh of the world." That Russia is contemplating a I separate peace is not true, he said. The Russian revolution took place because the great majority of the Russian people hated the idea of a separate peace. Further diplomatic developments lead to war, and when war was declared on Germany, the (Continued on Page- 11) Slackers Shown No Mercy by Court Which Imposes Full Penalty of Law New York, June 13.—A peniten tiary sentence of eleven months and li 9 days for not registering under the selective draft law was imposed by United States Judge Chatfield in Brooklyn to-day on Herman P.
