BRITISH AVENGE
RAID ON LONDON
Four Persons Killed by Bombs
From ZeppeIins.
GERMAN PROPERTY WRECKED
Official Report Says Airships Dropped
incendiary Explosives, Setting
Fires in Various Sections
of City.

London, June 3.-As a result of the
Zeppelin raid the anti-German riot
ing broke out again in London on
Tuesday.
When it was officially announced
that German flyers had dropped 80
bombs, killing four persons, injuring
others and starting many fires in the
attack, angry mobs surrounded the
premises of persons suspected of be-
ing of German nationality in Shore
ditch, and attacked the shops which
were smashed in the previous rioting
and had since been barricaded.
In one case the occupants fed when
the mob approached, and were pur-
sued by the Infatuated crowd.
A special constabulary has been
called out in an attempt to check the
outbreaks.
In Pimlico Walk three shops were
attacked. A bakers shop in Pearson
street, raided fortnight ago, was de-
stroyed by an angry crowd composed
chiefly of women.
The statement of the authorities on
the Zeppelin raid reads:
Late Monday night about ninety
bombs, mostly of an incendiary char
acter, were dropped from hostile air
craft in various localities not far dis
tant from each other. A number of
fires of which only three were large
enough to require the services of fire
engines broke out All of them were
promptly and effectively dealt with.
The fires all were caused by the in
cendiary bombs referred to.
No public building was injured
but number of private premises were
damaged by fire and water
Ihe number of casualties is small,
> sfar as has at present been ascer-
tanned. One infant, one boy, one man
and one woman we're killed, and an
other woman was so seriously injured
that her life is despaired of.
A few other private citizens were
seriously injured, but the precise num-
Der has not yet been ascertained.
Berlin, June 3.-The official report
of the Zeppelin attack on London fol-

LAS a reprisal for the bombardment
of the open town of Ludwigshafen we

inhabitants received the invading Ital-
ians with cordial expressions of fra
ternity.
The detailed report of the COM
mander of the Italian destroyer Zaf-
fire, which bombarded Porto Buso, on
the Gulf of Trieste, says that the de-
stroyer entered the port unseen and

der of the garrison, hoisted the white
flag and surrendered with his men.
Italy has begun the transportation
of troops to take part in the forcing
of the Dardanelles, according to dis
patches reaching London. Although
no declaration of war has been issued
against the Turks, 10000 Italian
troops have been landed on the Island

Time in Europe.

Despite the war, a conference is to
be held to attempt to standardize time
on the railways of Europe. Anyone
who-has travelled even little on the
continent will know how bewilderingly
diverse are the railway times of diff
ferent countries. Dutch and Spanish
railways keep time of Greenwich, and
so did those of Belgium until the con-
quest" when their timetables were
synchronized with the German. Our
three enemy countries, together with
Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia,
keep railway time just one hour ahead
of u.s. Bulgaria and Roumania are two
hours ahead, and Russia two hours
and one minute. Other countries have
time standards of their own, differing
by half-hours and half-minutes.-Lon-

Palma, driving one of the most spec

the old record, going the route in
33:55.5, an average of 1884 miles
an hour. The old record was
SOB: $3.50, an average of 82.47 miles
an hour, made year ago by Rene
Thomas in Delage
Close behind DePalma came Dario
Resta, winner of the Vanderbilt and
Grand Prix races this year Less
than three laps separated these two
Italian rivals and the duel between
them had been in progress all day.
1t was DePalma's greater experience
and better racing brain that told the
story.
DePalma virtually ran Resta to
death on two occasions, once when he
was striving to regain lost lead and
the other when Resta was trying to do
the same thing. On both occasions
DePalma jockeyed with his Anglicized
compatriot and on both occasions he
made Resta overstep the bounds of
safety for himself

third and fourth places, Gil Anderson

When the kidneys are neglected or

Paws 70 Advertise.

Churches in New York realize the
great advantages of advertising, and
besides using the columns of the daily
papers in their soul saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi-
fees they send out solicitors, men and
women, to help swell their congrega-
tions and enlarge their Sunday schools.
But the most daring church "ad' is
that OF the Rev. DR.. Fred. Winslow
Adams, pastor of St. Andrews Metho-
dist Episcopal church. He decided to
deliver a series of sermons on Love
Stories From the Bible" for which he
had an artist draw a fetching poster
of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands Of copies in blues,
browns and orange tints were distrib-
uted, and in addition the pictures were
printed in the newspapers as paid
matter" Since the minister began to
exploit the Love Stories" his congre'
cations have more than doubled

MANNER OF GIVING PRESENTS
Simple Little Embellishments Such as
Ribbons, Seals and Holly Count
for Much.

At no time does the manner OF do

while in few instances there are
those who overdo the outward embel-

cheeriness and zest from the multi
plicity of beribboned white parcels

gret the passing of the yellow paper

But the attractive appearance of the
gift is not all that counts; we must be
careful of the how and when and
where of presenting II.
The time that custom more and
more sets apart for the exchanging Of
gifts among friends is Christmas eve,
any time from dusk to midnight; but
Christmas day itself is sacred to pre-
senting gifts within the family circle.
Some families put all the gifts in
the library or living room, in separate
piles, and then, after a deliberate
breakfast, they all walk in and open
the packages in the presence Of each

Never give a gift In person II you

strongest appeal to ones appreciation.
In giving money. even to near rela-
tives, the utmost care should be taken
to give il in the most delicate way
possible; especially II you know the
money is needed.
One of the cleverest ways is TO take
tiny Japanese umbrella, place the
money in paper bag and, after roll
ing and tying the bag around the up

close the umbrella over it and tie with
