ANOTHER AIR RAID ON ENGLAND
German Scapianes Drop. Bombs on
East and Southeast Coasts-Three
Persons Were Killed.

London, Feb. 21.-Four German
2eroplanes today made a raid over the
east and southeast coasts of England
dropping a total of twenty-three bombs
according to an official announcement
made this evening. The total casual
ties are grven as two men and one boy
killed and one marine wounded. Con
siderable material damage was done.
The official communication says:
-Four German seaplanes made a
raid over the east and southeast coasts
at noon today
The first raiders, two biplaneS, ap-
peared over Lowestoft at 1885 a. NJ,
circled over the south side of the
town for five minutes and dropped
bombs. In about five minutes they
rose to a great height and seemingly
vanished. At 1850 a. m. the two sea-
planes were again over the town and
then vanished eastward again.
Altogether seventeen small high
explosive bombs were dropped. There
were no casualties. Considerable dam
age was caused to the outbuildings of
a restaurant and to two dwelling
houses Two naval seaplanes went up
at 11:05 a. M. and pursued the raiders
but without result. Meanwhile two
other German seaplanes were making
for the Kentish coast. The first passed
over the Kentish-Knock light vessel,
dropping bombs in that vicinity at
11:2O "a m. The last raider made
straight for Walmer. Reaching that
town at 11:27 a m, flying at less than
$500 feet, it dropped six bombs and
turned sharply to the east.
Two of the bombs that fell de-
stroyed roofs and broke windows in
the neighborhood. One fell close to
church, blowing in the windows as the
congregation was singing TIE Deum.'
a third bomb fell on a roadway, run
ming along the beach, killing one civil
ian and hurting one marine
THE total casualties were two men
and one boy killed and one marine
wounded.

up from Dover pursued the raider but
apparently could not overtake In"

STILL CHANGE FOR A BREAK
Germany is Doing Nothing to Settle
Her Differences With United
States Government.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The situation
between Germany and the United
States is as grave as at any time since
the Lusitania issue arose
This was the positive declaration at
the State Department today, and with
the announcement Secretary Lansing
did not deny the fact of strained per-
sonal relations between himself and
Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
Two things may precipitate cri-
sis, it was stated. One would be the
loss of American life by the Inaugural
ton of Germany's proposed new sub
marine warfare March 1. The other,
and this is regarded as the more sig
uificant, by the failure of Germany to
bring the Lusitania negotiations to a
satisfactory close.

of $4,000 for expens es.
The resolution was voted out OF

sational charges against the service
made by him last week. All of the
data given the committee by the Ar

favorable report brought into the Sen
ate and will be turned over to the in

Proposed Warning to Americans to

Washington, Feb. 24.-AgitatiOn in
congress for action warning Ameri-

belligerents sudd emily grew to such pro
portions today that Democrats of the
foreign affairs committee voted to can

Sentiment in the senate in favor of

pressed, but at the ,end of a day of

posed to any such action by congress
and believed that he would only be

Situation is Grave.
To widely circulated suggestions
that the situation had reached a point
where the president soon would lay it
before congress; that Secretary Lans-

a time had been fixed within which
the United States would expect Ger
many to signify her intention to
abandon the announced intention to

made officially that nothing had been

though grave, still was a waiting one
and that no final position would be
announced until Berlin was heard
from.
Leaders Apprehensive.
The sudden developments at the cap
itol brought surprise and apprehen-
sion to the administration leaders.
While confronted with the possibility
of congressional interference, with all
its grave aspects, ranging from a de-
lection from the administration policy
to downright embarrassment of the
president and the secretary of state,
the leaders were confident they would
control the situation and leave the eX-
ecutive branch of the government free
to carry on diplomatic negotiations
with Germany. At no time today did
the question come out openly on the
floor of either the house or the senate,

COL. MARTIN LIKED
 HIS PHOENIX VISIT

The reception which Phoenix ten dered the battalion of the Eighteenth infantry which bivouacked in Phoenix for one night last week was deeply appreciated by both the men and of ficers of that organization. Although both Col. Martin and his men ex pressed their verbal thanks to Phoe- nix at the time they were here, the following letter received at the cham her of commerce is an indication of just what they think of this city.
 Certainly no one could have re- ceived a more warm welcome than that accorded our little command on it's recent visit to your delightful city. All look back on it with most peasant recollections, and in their behalf I want to thank you, and through you, the chamber of commerce, the Red Cross. the Y. NJ. C. A, the Columbia theater management especially for their kindness.
 We returned here on Sunday after having made a trip of 665 miles with - nut accident to men or trucks while on the march.
 And with recollections of most courteous treatment on every hand, and again thanking you, I am.
 Very Respectfully, (Signed) c. H. MARTIN

All. WELCOME IN
 THESE OFFICES

The National Hughes Alliance, Ari- Zona headquarters, has one days work behind it and it was a day of achieve ment, even though most of the time was devoted to properly equipping the offices at No. IS North First avenue, Fleming building, ground floor quar- ters recently vacated by the Phoenix Title and Trust company. The sign is on the window and the doors are open.
 The special attention of the reader is called to the location for it is one political headquarters that all may drop into without fear of invading party privacy or intruding an unwelcome presence. It is felt that MT. Hughes is destined to be everybody's president and the chief mission of the Hughes Alliance is to give everybody chance to vote for him.
 The word man" is used in a gen eric sense by the Hughes Alliance. It means women as much as men and no foolish questions are asked as to the particular sort of political milk on which the voter was brought up to ma turity. The vital question of the hour is the election of Charles Evans Hughes to the presidency, and there is more joy over one democratic vote for Hughes brought into the fold, than over the ninety and nine that are already sate. Moreover, identification with this work demands no severance of political ties or affiliations with other than re- publican organizations. A world Of republicans have done good service in other years by voting for the better of two democrats and at this time, when the country's needs are paramount to partisanship, a return of the courtesy will be greatly appreciated.
 There are a great many ra9 sons urhV it is desired that every person, man or woman who intends to vote for Hughes should register as a member of the AL liance, a step that costs nothing and will help along the cause. No publicity will be given to the membership lists, such information being solely for the use of the organization and to aid it in getting the voters to the polls, so there need be no hesitancy on that score.
 There is an erroneous impression in some quarters to the effect that the Woman's Republican Club and the Hughes Alliance are identical. They are two entirely separate organizations. The Woman's Republican Club holds weekly meetings and is doing a splen- did work in studying the problems of the day and how to solve them. The membership of the club is solely women
 The Hughes Alliance, on the other hand, invites the membership of both men and women, and not only those who are admittedly republican, but all who will agree to vote for MT. Hughes. Therefore, women who belong to the l Phoenix Republican Club and the Wo- mans Republican Club are also urged to join the Hughes Alliance. Head quarters are open from s a. m. to D. m. and any and every Hughes voter will be welcomed-not merely to sigr l the application blank (which costs ! nothing), but to drop in" at any time | Bits of good news may be disseminated 1 from time to time and suggestions from 1 any and everyone in sympathy with the | movement, are invited

LUTHERAN LADIES HOLD
 SEWING BEE AT PARK

The ladies of Grace Evangelical English Lutheran church held another interesting and entertaining sewing bee at Eastlake park yestreday after noon and evening. The committed who has the business and matter in hand looking to the accumulation Of money enough to acquire ground and build a new church, are meeting with much marked and favorable success, and it is highly probable that by the middle of the winter means sufficient to accomplish these ends will be fully or partly met. On the occasions of the meeting of the sewing circles all manner of women's and childrens clothes are made out of new and sub stantial merchandise selected and pur- chased directly from the stores. These meetings and sewing circles are at tended only by the ladies and they are exclusively sewing bees and noth- ing like rollcking and joyful picnic. where these are potato races, sack races and kindred clements of sport.
