NO CASUALTIES
 AS AIR RAIDERS
 DROP 100 BOMBS

London. April 27-News published in London today indicates that not much damage was done by the four Zeppe1ins which visited Kent and Els sex last Tuesday night. Although 100 bombs were dropped by the raiders there were no casualties.
 From the time when they reached the British coast the airships> were kept under the beams of searcl11ights and were subjected to a, very heavy bonn bardment by anti-aircraft guns forcing them to rise to a great height and to return across the North Sea
 In straight run of two miles across one part of Essex a dozen bombs were dropped, mostly in fields while six bombs fell in the neighborhood of a farmhouse without doing any dam age except to crops.
 There were many narrow escapes, however, in Kent. Bombs dropped all around the village. / The only one that did any damage fell in the gar den of a vicarage, uprooting a large tree which struck the clerical resi- dence,
 Crowds everywhere watched the flight of the Zeppelins and the nagni- fcent display made by the bursting shells

New Carrell Treatment
 Reduces Time It Takes , For Wound to be Healed

Paris. April 27.-5The new Carre11 treatment of soldiers wounds has brought about a reductionAof the pe- riod of convalescence, according to g. report now submitted by pr. Uffholtz, chief surgeon of a division of the French army. Under this process en- p1oyed by pr. Alexis CarrelI. the re- port declares. the time required for the healing of wounds has been short ened to sixteen days in extreme cases, as compared with three months. On the average the period of evolution of the wounds is reduced about two thirds.
 The great advantage of the use of the hypo-ch1ortie of soda for the con- tfnuaI washing of the wounds is that it acceIerates wonderfully the progress Of healing to the point where the ed- ges of the wound may be brought to- gether by stitching or by adhesive ban dages. In some eases Dr. UfhoItz has noted that disinfection of from to days with this process has been suficfent to permit the closing Of the wound.

PROTESTS CITY'S
 ORDERS TO PUT OUT HIS TENANTS [
Adolph Sherman Refuses To Demolish Bull 1dings Until
 Cash Is Paid.

Adolph Sherman, former member or the tax board. visited city hall recently to protest to Mayor Clifford B. Wilson against threats of the director of pub lie works to dispossess tenants and tear down eshni1dings without legal right. zz friAnds, MT. Sherman explained the situation as follows: He among others dfd<not protest the assessed valuations of property sought on Stratford ave- nue were notified by Director of Pulp lie Works J. A Courtade that irnmedf- ate demolition of the buildings on the property. wanted by the city should be re@by the present owner or the di- reeruE=xEz1zxfC alIfft=ste it him self Immediate action" was de- 1nandeds
 MT. Sherman sought Mayor Wilson who. he learned. was absent from the city He them went to MT Courtade and protested that until he had been paid for his property or the city had taken title the city had no legal right to give orders about it.
 He is further said to have asserted that hfa building is occupied by 9 nunh&F9of tenants who cannot be elected by the city authorities until legal notices have been given by the 
 Director Courtade is alleged to have replied that .the had received orders to proceed with the work" and that irrespective of the fact that the city has not yet taken title to the property where assssaad eaalues. have been ac- cepded he fSRDpqsed tosscarry out his instruetions.''
 In legal circles where the owners have sought counsel it is said that the city has not yet disposed of the bonds for the purpose of payment tp Strat- ford avenue property owners and while the city has every right to enter property where appeals have been i taken large damage suits against the city may result from the dispossession of tenants or trespass upon property that has not been legally acquired.
 If the director of public works should persist in the stand he is aI- legged to have taken yesterday fnjunc- ton proceedings and suits for material damages are likely to result.

ANTI-AMERICAN
 FEELING GROWS
 AROUND PARRAL

z Fl Paso, April 27-Disturbing re- ports were received here today from many points in Northern and Central Mexico regarding anti-Amertcan feel ing. The present trouble seems to be due in part to the persistent anti American campaign which has been carried on by the Mexican papers in the state capitals. This campaign has increased in violence sine eths clash at Parra1 between United States soldiers and natives.
 Americans who have arrived here from Durango and Southern Chihua- hua say that the Parral incident has been nnagnif1ed and distorted by tho Mexican papers which have described it as a great Mexican victory The American soldiers are declared by these papers not only to have been badly beaten but they have shown cowardfce and ran away after mas sacring number of Mexican women and children. At the same time most of the reports agree that the Carranza generals and other responsible officers have done everything in their power to restrain the civilian population and have shown earnest desire to avoid an outbreak.

London. April 27-Viscount Mid dIeton attacked the government in the House of Lords today for failing to take heed of warnings regarding activities of the Sim Feiners. He asked what the government meant by saying yesterday (Tuesday) that the situation was well in hand. So far fas. his information went, at the time this assurance was given not only were rebels in possession of a num- ber of prominent parts of Dublin but no; attempt had been made to dis lodge them.
 Viscount Middleton said he under stood telegraphic communication with Dublin was almost entirely interrupt ed. that the rebels when they seiz- ed the postoffice, cut the wires and cables to- England. The auth critics, he continued had been aware that large nurabers of armed Sim Feiners had been drilled constantly for some months, that they possessed explo- si1es in considerable quantities and we're well provided with money. These things. he declared, had been brought to the notice of the gov erhment by influential persons with the urgent request that action be taken
 The prekent position of Ireland, he asserted in conclusion, was one of the greatest danger.
 WfscouTit Middleton further asserted, that Baron Wimberne, the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, went to Belfast orr Monday while a, large number of officers had been allowed on that day to attend a race meeting in the neigh borhood of Dublin. Some of these officers were seized on their return to- fduty. The Viscount was unable to conceive any government so blind as to permit such a state of things tos continue. .
 Lord Lansdowne, he replied, ex- p1ained how the Dutch trading ves-' sci which brought arms to Ireland had been sunk by her crew when they were detected by the British pa troll
 Lord Lansdowne said he believed this outrage was doomed to an ig-z nominous failure but he was not dis posed to minimize the serious incon- veraience likely to be occasioned by ft- He, said that on Monday, April 24, the rebels made a half-hearted attack on Dublin Castle but the attack was not pressed. They then occupied St. Stephens Green, held up troops who were returning from the barracks, fir ed on them from the roofs of build

J. B Hallett, sl2 Lafayette St. is Pleased to Indorse

It is so made that it's good effects can be felt almost at once. So to those suffering from malaria, sick headache, bilious spells and that run down spring time feeling with sour acid stomachs >and constipation. Lax a.-Tone is a boon.
 MT. Hal1ett says: I have used .Lax-a-Tone and it is the only remedy that I ever found for constipation and indigestion.

 The tendency to widely varying comment, representing divergent points of view on the part of different individuals finds another illustration in the comment on the tax Valuation ceases. Its most regretab1e phase is the inclination shown by a, few to ex- press and incite feeling towards for mer Senator Peck, one of the plain tiffs, the voicing of this sentiment ranging from depreciation to mild cen sure and actual denunciation.s Some of the latter style of criticism tends, indeed, to strengthen the suspicion en- tertained by MT. Peck that personal enmity springing from political strife led to the wrongs which he feels has been done him by the towns valuation boards. His suspicion and the later assumption may be wholly without foundation. That is not the point. The real point is that in going to the courts for a redress of alleged griev- ances he is acting entirely within his rights. That he is also acting from sincere conviction is also apparent because even a court victory means for him financial loss. If he wins it means vindication in the matter of his judgm ment and if he loses that the assessing boards did not err in the exercise of their judgment. Men are continually having differences over business, and other affairs and when other means of settlement fail they take the controversy to court for final adjustment.
 Why should MT. Peck be blamed and portrayed as an enemy of the town for using this proper and ap- proved? Had he not done he would be open to the charge of bluff ing. That there are inequaliies in the valuation list is freely admitted and those who consider themselves victims of these inequalities have complained and are complaining no less. than Senator Peck and the other

plaintiffs. They, or some of them. would also like to go to the courts were it not for the expense. These people view the pending suits as ap- provingly as do others (disapprovingIy and will await the outcome with keen interest. Whatever the outcome there should be no little gain for the en- tire public to offset the cost to it be- cause, while the decisions will strictly apply to these individual cases alone, they will bear in many ways upon the situation as a whole and furnish val uabIe lessons for the future.
 An improvement in assesspnept methods may be one of these lessons so that in the final weighing up and balancing MT. Peck may appear in the light of a public benefactor in stead of the reverse.
