London, Sept. 25.-Reports from a
Kentish town say that about eight
bombs were dropped in last nights
air raid according to a telegram from
an Essex coast town. The first intim-
alton of the raid came about 1880
o'clock when anti-air craft guns open
ed fire and the droning of the airplane
motors could be heard. The bombing
over this town continued for about
two hours at intervals but SO far as
could be learned only three bombs
were dropped and apparently there
was no great property damage.
Reports from Yorkshire indicate
that the Zeppelins which appeared
early this morning off the Lincoln
shire and Yorkshire coasts dropped
bombs and aerial torpedoes The sig
nal that all was clear was given at
about o'clock this morning.
The official Report
The following official report was
given out by Lord French, COM
mander of the home defense:
'Airplane raid: The latest reports
concerning last nights airplane raid
show that the group of raiders which
approached London was driven off by
anti-air craft guns. Only one, or, ar
the most, two machines penetrated
the defenses. The casualties in all the
raided districts reported by the police
up to the present are: Killed, 49,;
injured, 20. The material darfage
was not great.
'Airship raid: Enemy airships
crossed the Yorkshire ard Lincoln
shire coasts between midnight and 3
a. m. There is no evidence of their
having penetrated to any distance in
land They were driven off by gun
fire from various defended localities
which they attempted tC approa ch.
Bombs were dropped at one coast
town. three women being slightly in
jured. Little damage was caused"

Infantry Oskaloosa. which spent last
night in Topeka and entrained with
the Topeka units today, was an inter
ested onlooker to the performance.
He scratched his head, ducked into
his company's cars and reappeared a
minute later dragging two tall. khaki
clad men.
Hang Kaiser Bill.
He pointed to the legend on the
Headquarters car Tell 'em about It,"
he ordered.
The duo began to sing:
"Oh, wen hang Kaiser Bill to q
sour apple tree.
''As we go marching on
''Oh, what a heluva time we'll
have.
when we hang Kaiser Bill from
IL sour apple tree"
A crowd collected and applauded
wildly They yelled for more. The
duo consented with Goodbye Broad
way, Hello France"
The Third Infantry band. in the
next car, refused to permit all the
honors to go to some one else and
two or three members hastily found
the appropriate instrum ents to make
up an Egyptian orchestra of the type
so often heard at carnivals and shows.
There was a roar of approval from
the entire train as the squeaky,
suueamish notes of the flute, supple
mented with the tom-tom of drum
hoated thru the air. Evidently there
were a number who would have
adopted the air for a battle tune,
Judging from the clamorous approval,
had not ma officer come along and put
a stop to the musicians efforts

Topeka s farewell to Radio company
A of the Kansas signal battalion, the
headquarters and supply companies
and the band of the Third Kansas in
fantry today was said mostly amid
laughter and cheers. Scarcely a tear
was noticed among the more than
l, 900 relatives and personal friends
on the station platform as the trains
bearing the 200 or more men puffed
with rapidly increasing speed out of
sight. The units left for Camp Doni-
phan. Fort Sill. Okla, with goodbyes
spirit than has yet been accorded a
military unit here.
The radio company, commanded by
Captain Elmer G.. Stahl, was the first
unit to leave today. 1t is doubtful
if a cleaner and handsomer bunch of
men can be found in all the National
Guard. They marched from the audi
torium to the station amid clapping
of hands from the sidewalks They
whipped around onto the station Flat
form and while standing ''at ease bid
wives, mothers. brothers, sweethearts
and fathers farewell.
The Last Goodbye
A cry of "aIl on sounded from the
There was a last handshake, a last
hug for the feminine friends and rela-
tives who will keep the home fires
burning and the men clambered
aboard. A brief interval between the
time the men boarded their cars and
the time the train started was taken
up with jibes and good noatured
kidding" hurled back and forth be-
tween the Radios and those on the
platform.
Then the train began to move. Until
the train was out of sight at least
smiles illuminated the faces of most
of those on the platform. There may
have been a few tears that laughter
couldn't choke back, but it was plain
that the home folks had agreed to
send the men away with light hearts.
The headquarters and supply COM
panies and the band left an hour or
so after the Radios. They had ex-
pected to leave first but failure of the
Missouri Pacific to deliver several
with those bearing the Topekans de-
layed matters.

land OF GERMANY APPARENT

Buenos Aires, Sept. 25.-(Sent via
London. Argentina was paralyzed
today in a general strike which tied
up all railroads, cut off telegraphic
communication and threatens famine
in scores of cities
It was learned on high authority
that Germans are paying many strik
ers' expenses to prevent them return
ing to work One hundred and twenty
thousand men are already out.
The government was strenuously at
tempting to settle the strikes today
deavored to prolorfg the Buenos Aires
local street railway strike.
Soldiers Operate Plants.
Buenos Aires is already without
milk. Electric light plants are oper-
ated only by sailors and soldiers. Food
prices scared to unheard of heights
today. The government Gdvised all
hotels to barricade their windows with
shutters and to secure provisions
enough for fortnight, officially ad-
mitting that continuation of the strike
for even a few days will mean food
shortage.
During the night strikers cut the
Central and South American Cable
company's land wire because they
were within the railroads right of
way All direct communication with
New York was therefore severed.
Argentina National telegraph lines to
Chile were also cut, destroying all
South American rans-continental
communication except via cable to
London, New York and down the
Pacific The Pacific cable wires to
Chile were likewise dead today
This despatch is filed by the only
means of communication with the cut
side world now left to the capital
German Money Back of 1t.
There is a sinister connection be-
tween the strike and German agents
strenuous efforts to keep Argentina
out of the war The railroad strike
itself came at exactly the moment
when the chamber of deputies was
ready to announce its approval of any
drastic step against Germany which
the government should deem desir-
able German money, it was stated
on highest authority, has been found
in financial backing, acquired mys-
teriously by certain of the striking
elements. The effect of the complete
paralysis of industrial, transportation
and social activities by the tieup is to
delay the governments action on the
German situation.
Possibly German agents fomenting
the strike believe the dangerous in
ternal situation. with labor aroused,
might force Argentina to give its at
tention exclusively to home affairs and
to forego entrance into the war.
Agree on Diplomatic Break.
At the moment when the railroad
strike became effective, completing
the general strike, the Conservatives
Socialists and the half radicals and

DOESN'T ASK DEATH
Prosecutor Emphasizes Rev. Kelly Is
Insa ne and Guilty of Axe Murders.

Red Oak. Ia, Sept. 25.-The state
did not ask the death penalty when
States Attorney Hess began his ar
gument before the jury that will try
Lyn George j. Kelly, itinerant. min
lister. of the Nillisca axe murders.
The states representative said he
would leave the fate of the man who
IL charged with killing eight persons
FIVE years ago, in the hands of the
jurors without asking that he be
killed.
Hess dwelt considerably on the fact
that the state is satisfied that Kelly
is a paranoiac of the worst type. He
said his various actions and words in
dicated he was of unsound mind He
then asked the jurors to remember
heir families might be endangered by
nan of this type at any time.
