ATLANTA, GA, Oct Reports
from the various centers in Georgia
where distinguished spakers are CAM
paigning in the interest of national
prohibition by Federal constitutional
amendment show that the people of
Georgia are thoroughly in accord with

ENGLISH PLAN To
RAID IN GERMANY
MAY RETALIATE BY DROPPING
BOMBS ON GERMAN TOWNS-AN-
OTHER RAID MADE ON LONDON
LAST NIGHT.

LONDON October There are the
best of reasons for believing that the
continued German airplane attacks on
England, with the plain purpose of
killing civilians will not pass without
retaliation. The idea of killing women
and children is repugnant to the Brit
ish mind, but just as the army was
forced to use poisonous gas against
the German soldiers, or be in the posi-
tion of fighting with one hand tied be-
hind it's back, SO the British will be
compelled to fight the Germans in the
air by bombing German cities, accord
ing to the belief now generally held
here. They have the necessary ma
chimes and better aviators, but here
tofore preferred to use them solely
against the fighting men on the battle
front.
The defense of England against at
tacks have proved to be almost as eff
fective against airplanes as they were
against Zeppelins, which have practi-
ccally retired from business since the
death of their inventor. But the fact
that airplanes can scatter and present
such small target makes them more
difficult to deal with
Eleven persons were killed and 50
injured in last nights air raid, it Is an
nounced officially. The material dam
age was not great.
Two of the German aeroplanes par
ticipating in the raid over the London
district last night were brought down,
and another descended, apparently
damaged. This was the fifth raid in
seven nights, but it accomplished lit
tie or nothing. The English newspa-
pers are demanding that the govern
ment enter into acts of reparation.
