Sixteen in Raid

LONDON, June 5.-Sixteen German airplanes came over the North sea this evening and dropped many bombs on the small towns and villages in Essex and Kent. Only fourteen. of them returned to their home base, for two were brought down by British guns.
 Late reports show that only two persons were killed and 29 injured. The Germans were attacked by British aviators before they had an oppor- tunity to carry out their raiding inten- tions to any great extent, and the British anti-aircraft guns were very effective.
 According to a local report the pilot and observer of one of the air raiders brought down were rescued at sea and made prisoner.
 Warning sirens were sounded at some places prior to the raid and most of the people took to shelter. The small number of casualties is attrib- uted to this precaution.
 The official statement says:
 An airplane raid this evening was carried out by a squadron of about 16 airplanes. They crossed the Essex coast at about 6:15 and dropped some i bombs in the country and on small tO"iiS I<SStA, anu lliSil pIOCctQeQ lO attack the naval establishments in Medway. A considerable number of bombs were dropped and a certain amount of damage was done to house property, but the damage done naval and military establishments was practically negligible. The raiding airships were engaged by gunfire and pursued by aircraft. After having lost two machines, they made off seawards.
 ! The casualties so far reported are two killed, two dangerously wounded and 27 wounded"
 dispatch from Flushing says that, according to a frontier patrol, the bom- bardment of Zeebrugge last night was the most formidable since the war be- gan. It was carried out by the fleet Continued on Page Two)

 IS CHASED BY MOB

OMAHA, June 5.-E. F. Ensign, young socialist opposed to the se- lective draft, was chased by . mob of 5000 down the principal business street of Omaha today and now is held by federal authorities on charge of opposing registration. Ensign was near a registration booth talking against the draft. White Eagle, a patriotic Indian, dragged Ensign to naval recruit station and insisted that he enlist. Ensign refused and started a tirade. He was knocked down by a cor poral and took to his heels, fol- lowed by mob of 5000. Ensign took refuge in the Missouri Pacific railroad offices and begged protec- ton, offering to enlist if protected. A platoon of police rescued him.

 Mesa Registers 395
 Mesa did itself proud with 395 regis t'atiors. Almost no exemptions were claimed in the city and there was much enthusiasm. The MeXicans registered early and willingly. thoroughly under standing that since they were alien registrations they would not be drafted. Almost all of the MeXicans registered as aliens.

 The hoarse blast Of the great steam whistle at the water works which was joined by the screams of scores of whistles in all parts of town and a babel of automobile horns was the sig nal that the hour had come for the youth of Phoenix between the ages of 21 and 30 to present themselves for sacrifice on the altar of their country. At : o'clock the registering places were open and the boards seated around tables. At most places young men were already waiting to register and at most places women stood with little squares of kahki on which was printed Regis tered for Military Service" These were pinned to the sleeves of those who had offered themselves.
 It was soon evident uhat the registra- = ton would be far beyond the estimate. i The sheriffs office had figured that about ten per cent of the vote cast last fall would be eligible for registration and an allowance believed to be gener- ous above that estimate was made in issuing cards for the various precincts.

III she isn't on this next floor, she's in
the coai-cellar,' he muttered, and put one
foot to the lowest stair. # y
But the other foot never followed; for
at that instant something startling
happened to him. At the foot of the
stairs was an open window. In front Of
this window he stood for the merest in
slant while he considered what to do next.
But this interval was long enough for
hand to pluck at his coat behind, and
voice to whisper:
"Mr. Lloyd!'
He wheeled about, to behold around the
edge of the window blue eye and fore
finger pressed to a pair of scarlet lips.
They were Immediately withdrawn, but
not before the forefnger had curved in
reckoning gesture.
Mr.. LLOYD glanced hastily at the
group in the hall; then he put leg
over the window-sill, and found himself
on an airy fire-escape. Pressed against
the railing in corner of this high perch
was young woman who looked as if she
didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Did any one see you come out?" she
whispered.
mo-" be treasured her. Il take it you're
not out here merely for the air?'
"Listen to that!" she admonished him,
as the voices Of the pianist and the sculp-
tor rose higher.
Then suddenly she stiffened to deeper
attention. There had sounded above the
din the clang of the elevator door; then
Immediately there doomed through the
hall strident voice of authority
"Now then, now then, what S all this?
Where's Miss Jaffer?' demanded the
voice.
Molly Jaffer collapsed Imply against
the rail, and her eyes grew strained.

3Mr. Samuels!" she whispered, looking
at the young man appealingly. -
1t appeared that John Lloyd was man
OF action; for he instantly took her arm
and drew her toward the ladder-like steps
leading to the floor above @Let's climb
out of the barred zone,' he said quietly.
THEIR fight did not end until they had
climbed out of sight and hearing of the
questioning ones below. Then they sat
down on the window-ledge of a vacant
apartment.
Thought I'd never find you,' said
John Lloyd. "This appears to be your
busy day. What"
He stopped suddenly, peering sharply
into her face. AS the window was mar
row one, his position offered him facilities
for a very good closeup of Molly's eyes.
you've been crying!'
His tone was so shocked and the hand
he suddenly put over hers was so sympa-
thetic that Molly's lips quivered again.
"It's been such horrible morning, she
quavered. Il rented an apartment twice
over. Then | lost control of myself, went
clean crazy, and sassed Mr.. Samuels.
I'll lose my job, probably. And, besides
all that, man proposed to me-

you accept him?" VS.
4I'm to let him know at noon" Molly
sighed and gazed off over the roof-tops
II don't much care what becomes of me-.
as he-do you-are you fond of him?"
John Lloyd had great difficulty with this
question.
Molly twisted herself around and met
his eyes with tragic gloom in hers.
"He's in the cold-storage business. l
think he's about ninety or hundred.
But I'm sure he has kind heart. Any
way, he couldn't treat me any worse than

He glanced at his watch. II am, and
there isn't much time, either. Look here
why didn't you answer my letter?n
Molly's eyes became perfectly round.
John Lloyd groaned.
"The criminal carelessness of the post
office department! 1t was an important
letter, too. l said-some things in that
letter"
He paused, visibly embarrassed.
"Yes?' Molly prompted him softly.
"Oh, hang it ALL" he burst out. "Molly,
want to kiss you but there's an old lady
over there in that window looking at us.
And there's no time to lose. If she'd only
look the other way"
IL think she's near-sighted, whispered
Molly.
There ensued long silence on the fire
escape. The old lady stared, scandalzed.
She was so old that she was in the enjoy
ment OF what is known as second-sight
But the two on the window-ledge did not
know it.
Spring had come indeed. 1t breathed
softly even on fire-escapes and over dingy
roofs where the debris of winter had col
lected. John Lloyd's face was close to
Molly's. &
Thank God l found you, you sweet
little thing!" he said.
Silence again on the fre-escape. The
old lady almost fell out of her window.
Then suddenly John Lloyd rose and
pulled Molly to her feet.

There are lot of things we have to do
before that boat leaves. Well take a taxi
and skid down to City Hall for the license,

Molly hands went up to her breast, and
her eyes, like those of the character in the
fairy tale, became as large as mill-stones.

She looked SO radiantly incredulous
that John Lloyd's throat frightened. With
great tenderness he put his hands on her
shoulders and gave her little shake.
"Do you think I'd leave my wife
behind-such brand-new wife?n
THEY raised the window and recon-

They entered by the window, and rang
the elevator bell Molly drew a quivering
breath of anxiety.
"The old thing sticks every little while,'
she said.
But after what seemed an hour it lum-
bered up, with Oscar at the helm
ooh, Oscar, I'm glad it's YOU cried
Molly. "Don't stop for anybody, will
you, Oscar"
@Take us to the ground floor in one
swoop, Oscar" added John Lloyd, press
ing stimulating green bit of paper into
a black-and-tan palm. They started to
glide downward The bell at the fourth
floor rang long and violently.
"Oh, Oscar, don't stop, don't stop,
don't stop!' Molly prayed.
"If you stop, Oscar, I'll knock your
block off, breathed John Lloyd
Oscar showed the whites of his eyes,
dts Mr.. Samuels,' he murmured.

AS they ambled past the fourth floor
they had a cinematographic picture of
Mr.. Samuels, with background of dis
contented tenants.

a telephone conversation and attend to
him.
"Miss Jaffer?" said Pauline at last
languidly. "I'm sure don't know where
she is. Oh, yes; she's in the buildin'
somewhere, but can't say where" She
yawned and did something to the back Of
her hair. "Oh, no, it's no use telephonin'.
There's twenty-four apartments in this
buildin' don't know which one she's in.
"How many floors are there?'
"Six, replied Pauline languidly.
Then she sat up and stared, for the
young man was taking the first stairway
two steps at leap On the second floor
he looked about him. Fortunately, this
was a smallish building; he could see all
the doors of the four apartments at once.
In the doorway of one paper-hanger was
exchanging conversation with pirate.
Two more pirates were scratching a side
board against the doorway of Apartment
c. Miss Jaffer was in neither apartment.
The young man rang the bell of Apart
mentA. Noanswer. Helooked athiswatch.
"By George, not much time!" he NUT
tered, and wiped his forehead. Then he
rang at Apartment B.
A stout lady in boudoir cap came to
the door.
"Miss Jaffer? Are you looking for her
too? Well, so am l. I've been telephon-
ing and telephoning downstairs. I've just
got to find her. She promised to have my
floors down to-day. I'm all torn up"
She came out into the hall. The young
man backed away.
"Are you going to look for herr" cried
the lady in the boudoir cap. "Then I'll
go with you. I've just got to find her.
It's an outrage to keep me waiting, when
I'm all torn up"
The young man fastened up the stairs,
with the confding lady in the boudoir cap
behind him. On the third floor they en-
much to tell Miss Jaffer that the persons
in their apartment refused to give up the
key till noon, and there was all their fur
niture in the van downstairs, and what
should they do?
you'd better hunt for her, the same
as we're doing" volunteered the lady
in the boudoir cap helpfully. Don't you
think so?"-to the young man.
The young man, who had been ringing
bells rapidly and without results, laughed
wildly. "Oh, sure! Follow the man from
Cooks. don't mind"
But he looked as if he would gladly have
slain the lady in the boudoir cap as he
charged up the next fight of stairs with
cue behind him.
At the top of this flight plumber sat
peacefully slumbering. AS the procession
would have passed him he started up
industriously.

lady in the boudoir cap.

She was to come up here and tell me"
QUT what Miss Jaffer was to tell him
- the young man and his followers never
knew: for at the name of Miss Jaffer,
shouted in an aggrieved tone by the
plumber, there rapidly descended the
stairs two figures, both of them very pro-
nounced as to hair, gestures, voices, and
emotions. The sculptor still Rugged his
