RAID VICTIMS MURDERED
INQUEST SAYS AIRMEN ARE
GUILTY OF CRIME.
British Press Declares Berlin Claim
of Retaliation Is Intended
to MisIead.

London, England.-"Murdered by
some agent of a hostile force" was
the jury's verdict at the inquest into
the deaths of Henry Good and his
wife, Caroline, two of the victims of
the first Zeppelin raid On London.
The jury found that the Goods died
from s~uffocation and burns they suf-
fered when an incendiary bomb,
hurled from a Zeppelin, fired their
house.
The London newspapers warned tho
public not tobe misled by the Ber-
lin official statement that the raid on
London was in retaliation for an
aerial attack by French aviators on
German ammunition factories at Lud'
wigshaven.
This is not a retaliatory episode,
Dut a goal toward which Germany has
been feeling her way for months
past" said the Daily News. 1.-THE at
tacks on the coast have been prelimt-
nary to an attack on London, and the
late raid is probably only the pre-
cursor of more serious adventures in
| the future"

neIand Five Trawiers Are Lost

London.-Offcial announcement is
made by the British war office that
the allies have made a sweeping at
tack over the entire Turkish posi-
ton at the Dardanelles, and that as
a result two long lines of trenches
have been captured along the entire
front.
The French war office simultane-
ously announces that a new German
offensive in the region of the Arras in
northwestern France had been broken
down everywhere, with heavy losses
to the attackers.

Five more trawlers have been sunk
by German submarines. The attacks
occurred off Peterhead and the Dog
berry of Hull, Persimmon of Grisby,
Gazehound and Curew of Sunderland
and Bardolph of Hull were the VIC
Tins. The crews of all the vessels
were saved .
Referring to the allies gains near
Arras, the French report says:
"In the region to the north of Arras
the enemy undertook to recapture the
positions which he had recently lost
The whole of the front from Abian to
Melville, and particularly the sugar
refinery at Souchez, underwent a
Ebo%mbardment almost continually, to
which our artillery replied e~nergeti
cally.

CARMAN FAILS TO SEE JOKE
Policemen Make Merry With condue-

Charges.

Cincinnati.-Sense of humor is sig
nally lacking in street car conductor.
When Mounted Policemen Ohnstein
and Ten Brunsel threw a conductors
punch at his head and gave him a milk
bath, the poor conductor couldn't see
the joke.
Ohnstein and Ten Brunsel face trial
on charges Of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. Safety Di-
rector Homes sense of humor was
absent also.

London, England.-With the fall OF
Przemysl, although this does not ap-
pear to be the limit Of their efforts
against the Russians in Galicia, the
Germans have again turned their at
tention to the western front and sim
ultaneously with the news of the ar
rival of German re-inforcements. N
Flanders and the province of Artois,
France, com official reports of their
attacks on positions recently captured
by the British and French.
They have succeeded in recovering
some trenches taken by the British
northeast of Givenchy and have
stormed the chateau in the village OF
HODGE, part of which the British still
hold, although for a time the Brit
ish were compelled to evacuate the
building which they had captured
Monday night. The Germans also
claim to be in possession of the sugar
refinery at Souchez, the loss of which
they have not previously acknow-
lodged.
While these in themselves are con-
sidered small matters in military cir
Giles here, they are believed to be the
forerunners of a resumption OF fight
ing on a large scale.

Ask Review of Ruling.

The public service commission has
been served with notice of an appeal
by the telephone company of Column
bia to the Cole county circuit court
for a review of the recent ruling in
which the commission placed a valua-
ton for rate-making purposes on the
property of the company.
Judge w. M. Williams of Boonville,
chief counsel for the company, in his
petition, declares the valuation OF
$105, 900 placed on the city exchange
of the company is un~warrantably low
and directly contrary to the testi-
mony submitted by men competent to
Judge. The company objects to the
rate and classification for boarding
and lodging houses and the abolition
of the So deposit.
