London, Jiino 13.—The death
of forty-nine persons and the in
jury of two hundred in'to-day's
air raid was announced in the
house of lords to-da.v by the
Earl of Derby, secretary of state
for war. The secretary said lie
feared these figures would be ex
ceeded when fuller leports had
been received.
Vice-Admirai William S. Sims,
in command of the American
naval forces, was automohiling
through the East End this morn
ing at the time of the air raid
and had a narrow escape l'rom a
bomb.
London, June 13.—The east end of
London was bombarded to-day by
fifteen hostile airplanes.
A large number of British air
planes pursued the Germans who
fiew over Essex to London. No re
ports of casualties have been receiv
ed thus far.
A bomb struck a schoolhouse, kill
ing ten children and injuring fifty.
One German airplane is reported to
nave been brought down.
Many Killed
Andrew Bonar Law, member of
the British war council, stated in
:hg house of commons that thirty
one persons had been killed and
sixty-seven had been injured in the
ritv of London alone. The casualties
in the whole metropolitan area, he
said, were not yet known.
The east end of London, in which
live the city's poor, suffered heavily
from the raid. Bombs fell In many
congested district!? and while the
number of casualties has not yet been
ascertained two hospitals report han
dling upward of fifty cases, four of j
whom died and many of whom were j
seriously injured.
The following official statement
was issued:
"Lord French (commander of the
home defenses) reports that about
fifteen hostile airplanes were heard
crossing th.e Essex coast, passing in
the vicinity of the Nore (part of the
estuary of the Thames) at about 11
a. m. 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.

U. S. 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

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

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.

Arrangements for tolling city fire
house bells were made by Fire Chief
Kindler, City Electrician Clark K.
Hiehl and Assistant Park Commis
sioner Forrer.

Liberty Loan. Applications have
been received steadliy since the close

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. A Petrograd
dispatch to Reutter's states that pre
liminary returns indicate that the
Socialist Bloc, comprising revolu
tionary Socialists, Democratic So
cialists and Laborites, carried the
lections in the Petrograd district for
members of the municipal council.
In the election universal suffrage for
women was applied for the first time
in Russia. The Constitutional Dem
[ ocrats, also known as the Cadets,
polled the second highest number of

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
