LONDON REFUSES
TO Be TERR0R|zED
Zeppelin Invasion Heightens
Determination to Conquer
Enemy at Any Cost.
CIVILIAN ACTIVITIES
IN WAR STIMULATED
Lack Of Military Advantage for Ger
mans Cited-No Americans
Among Victims.

LONDON, September 10.-The most
pretentious aerial raid of the war. the
Zeppelin bombardment of London and
environs, has failed to terrorize the
British capital. even though the loss Of
life was serious. Instead a sense of
outrage bredominates, intensifying the
bitter feeling toward the Germans and
promoting a determination to conquer
the enemy at any cost. The raid. it is
believed, will stimulate all civilian war
activities.
The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial
expressing disappointment at the es-
cape ofrhe Zeppelin raiders and horror
at the raids. protests that the Germans
gained no military advantage whatever
and failed even to terrorize civilians.
Proves to Be Spectacle.
Indeed" says the Telegraph, 'fn
many places in the London district the
spectacle of Zeppelin high up in the
heavens with searchlights flashing up
on it and shells bursting all around was
regarded, and even enjoyed. asa unique
and thrilling experience.
"other feelings were naturally
aroused in neighborhoods where in
cendiary and explosive bombs fell. but
even these caused no panic. The sense
of outrage was strong, but OF inttmt-
dation not sign"
The Telegraph thinks now that Lon
doners have been provided with an OBJ
ject lesson on limited scale Of what
explosive bombs are capable Of in the
way of destruction.
Aids in Recruiting.
The answer of the people Of London
and in the London district to these ex-
ercises in frightfulness may be given in
an episode mentioned in the Manchester
Guardian" says the Spectator. in COM
menting upon the Zeppelin raids OF
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, "A re-
crowds from a platform made of debris
of ruined houses and the results have
been excellent"
The Daily Mirror says the reply Of
London was great army OF recruits.
A large number of volunteers present
ed themselves at Trafalgar; Square. TINS
newspaper says. and in every part OF
the country men aocked to the colors.
Advocates Counter Raids.
The Evening Standard expresses the
hope that the British government will
announce its determination to hold the
head of the German aircraft service
personally responsible for the deaths
occasioned by the Zeppelin raids. The
Globe and other newspapers take the
view that every air raid on London or
other English cities should be followed
Immediately by attacks on such Ger
man cities as Cologne, Strassburs.
Karlsruhe and Dusseldorf. which are
within easy reach of Belfort. France.
''It is time this super-squeamtshnes
was gone," says the Globe.
There were no Americans among the
Zeppelin air raid victims. the Ameri-
can embassy and the American consul
late have reported.

DAMAGE TO LINER
MINNESOTA is NOT
LAID TO WAR SPIES

San Francisco. Dec. 16.-The spy
theory in connection with the Grip
ping Of the giant Hill liner Mime
sofa appeared today to have been
completely swept aside.
In Its place was strong suggestion
that the final verdict will be poor
boilers. Investigation so far indi-
Gates these began to show trouble
only day out OF Seattle. What part
the Seattle boiler inspectors will play
in the ultimate showdown is only a
matter Of conjecture. But It Is GER
tain as far as the investigation has
proceeded that officials are satisfied
the boilers were In very bad condi-
tion. st's
Thereupon arises In the minds OF
many the question:
Did the Seattle inspectors make on
ly q cursory inspection?
And did they pass her when she
was in unseaworthy condition.
Resumption Of the investigation
was slated today. Boiler men hoped
to get at the vitals of the ship.

Why a Anurlc" Is an
INSURANCE
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take q risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are O good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine Is often cloudy, full
Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep Is disturbed two or three
times o night. This Is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience such as DR.. Pierce Of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
uAnuric.p Write him your symptoms
and send o sample OF urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
rAnuric" is the most powerful agent
In dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless IL Ia endowed with other
properties, for II preserves the kidneys
In 0 healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being 30 many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves OF any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration OF the blood = vessels, as
well rs regulating blood pressure:
uAnuricn is o regular insurance and
lfe,sayer for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for uAnuricr put up

SENATOR PROPOSES
ORGANIZATION OF
INDUSTRIAL ARMY

Washington, Dec. i6.--An army
educated In engineering and harden
ed to the rigors of campaigning
through the task or reclaiming de-
serts, re-foresting large western
tracts and protecting the Mississippi
valley from floods, was advocated by
Senator Works Of California today in
the senate.
Such an army, Works said. would
dissipate the evils OF unpreparedness
and, moreover. obyiate the danger OF
creating a military caste. 1t would
provide, too. an army of soldiers en-
gagged in useful work instead OF in
becoming idlers.
The government could spend $780,
600. 900 a year thus that really would
cost II nothing" he suggested, at
the same time proposing paying the
soldiers with tracts OF the public
lands their labors improved.
Because the greater part OF the
reclamation work naturally falls in
the western states" he said, land be-
cause the west is In the greatest
danger Of invasion from the Japan
ese, who have more veteran soldiers
on the Pacific coast than there are in
our standing army. this force would
do most Of its work in the west. But
where work is needed In the east. the
army should be employed there. !
have no sectional plans.
''Such an army would open vast
tracts and help to empty the city
slums. It would be better force to
defend us than $50. 900 paid idlers." I"
Works address incidentally con-
tanned an attack on the Vera Cruz
expedition as hasty and unwarranted,
and 1t denounced what he termed the
American soldiers thralldom. He
cited the case Of a private. tried and
disciplined for entering and remain
ing In saloon where there was also
an officer. Such a spirit Of caste he
held to be more dangerous than any
foreign invader now in sight.
Works introduced bill for an
army of 100000. recruited voluntari-
lily, to be used 10 or IL months an
nually under the secretary Of the In
terror. and the remainder of the year
under the secretary Of war. This
provided that they ge given reason
able pay and lease to hold five acres
of public lands with water rights"
The bill would appropriate $780,
100000 annually for reclamation
fund work.

The fact that Yuan Shi Kai IL
creating titled positions in the empire
may be interpreted as further con-
firrnation OF a United Press Pekin

Yuan has already assumed the title
of emperor. First announcement OF
his acceptance Of the throne indicated
he would not adopt the imperial title
for some months.
Press dispatches earlier told Of

allied and Japanese envoys at Pehin.

READY roR A GALL NO ARMs.

READY FOR A CALL TO ARMS.
Once in while some fellow gets
scared and quotes the figures of the
standing army of the United States
as the only protection guaranteed the
nation in case it should be attacked
BY foe from without, But the cor
respondent OF the United Press at
washington city figures that there
are no less than a million men ready
to respond to call to arms in some
branch Of military usefulness. These
are national guardsmen and ex-
national guardsmen still Of military
age; ex-regular army men now in
civil life; the majority Of the Spanish
war veterans and men who have re-
ceived training under authorized
army officers in universities. There
also are young men drilled under
military men in high and private
schools, and ex-United States marines
who have had land training.
Oficers Of the U. s. army admit this
would be highly convenient army
nucleus In time Of emergency. but
the government doesn't know where
any Of these men are except the ma.
tional guardsmen.
Roughly estimated, there are 500.'
600 national guardsmen and ex-
national guardsmen; over 175,ooo
army and navy alumni; between
10000 and 100000 Spanish wal
veterans, and $4,000 college cadets
War department figures show there
are now S,705 officers and 120.69S
enlisted men in the national guard
In the Spanish war 223,235 volunteer
officers and enlisted men served. In
the colleges last year there were 32,'
900 who had drill, and in the last ter
years $4,000 men have been gradu
ated who had been trained two years
Figures for ten years behind thai
easily make up the estimated total o.
$4,000, army officers say.
AS to the regular army alumni, al
average of $4,000 fails to re-enlis
each year. The total for 1914 wal
14,349. Even with the loss through
deaths since discharge, incapacita
tions, removal to other countries ant
old age, the figures for 20 year
should be 175.0O0 to 100000 man
Recent plans of enlistment in tn
war department call for three year
with the colors and four in reserve
Before that, once mans term o
enlistment was up the government
gave no more attention to him.
