IDEAL NIGHT FOR "a RAID
zeppelins Drop Bombs from
Such Height That They
Are Out sGunR Range.


LONDON, April 1-'rwenty-eight
persons were killed and forty-four
injured in last nights air raid, ac-
lcording to official figures given out
today.
The raid was the twenty-second Of
the war. The lost Zeppelin was the
third Of It's class to come to grief in
these raids.
Details Of the attack have not
been published as yet by the authori-
ties. From unofficial sources It is
learned that many OF the bombswere
dropped either into the sea or in
places where no damage was done.
It was an ideal night for the raid.
Everything was in favor Of the Yep
pelins, including the atmospheric
pressure and the lightness Of the
wind. The dirigibles came in over
the coast early In the evening and d.
ytded their forces. Those who saw
them say they were larger than the
dirigibles used on previous visits.
They kept at such height that they
were out Of range of the anti-aircraft
guns.
During the evening Zeppelins were
reportediat various points. II was not
until after midnight that the an
'nouncement was made of their de-
parture. Until the ofiicial report was
issued this morning It was not known
that one Zeppelin had come down.

IN MEMORY OF MR..
ALEXANDER SIMEON MARTIN

"Be thou faithful unto death, and
| will give thee crown of life"
On Monday morning, January 16,
1916, after a brief illness with pneu-
monia, Mr.. Martin died at his home
in the northern part of the county.
He was a consistent member of the
Pleasant Hill Presbyterian church, a
kind and loving father and true and
patient husband, faithful even unto
death" in his efforts to administer to
his invalid wife, whom we hope Will
bow in humble submission to the VIII
of Him who doeth all things well, and
may she be comforted by the blessed
certainty of meeting him again IN
that world where there is no sorrow,
sickness or death
Asleep in Jesus, o how how sweet,
To be for such slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its venomed
sting. A FRIEND.

SENATOR'S REQUEST
BLAKESLEE BIZ PUNISHED
HARDWICK AMONG THE TOGA
WEARERS INDIGNANT OVER
REFERENCE TO LOBBY.

WESTINGHOUSE. l. Blakes-
lee, fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral, who charged certain senators
to their faces with having "surren-
dered" to the railroads in the contro-
versy over railway mail pay, may be
called to the carpet in the postmas-
ter generals office to explain his con-
duct.
The senate committee on postof-
fees and post roads today delegated
its chairman, Senator Bankhead,
and Senator Townsend, republican,
of Michigan, to present their objec-
ton to Mr.. Burleson, who is inclin-
ed to stand by Blakeslee. If they
cannot get satisfaction from him
they may move to punish Blakeslee
for contempt of the senate, or urge
his removal from office by the pres
ident.
Hardwick Feels Outraged.
senator hafQWlCk, Oh georgia, one
of those named in Mr. Blakeslee's
charge, feels outraged and indignant.
He conducted the principal crOss-ex-
animation of the witness, and though
they have formerly been close friends
the interchange was exceedingly vi
cious. 1t is believed he will demand
Mr.. Blakeslee's head as the price of
his "impertinence to senators"
A letter written by Ernest L.
Schmidt, postmaster at Louisville,
KY, has further incensed senator's
because of it's reference to a rail-
road lobby and it's influence on their
attitude toward the mail pay propo-
sition.
Orders of Department.
In it he confessed that he was cor
dered by the postoffice department
at Washington. to write urging them
to bring pressure to bear upon mem
bers of congress.
1t seems that the entire organiza-
ton of the postoffice department is
behind the propaganda urged by
Mr.. Blakeslee.
