PROUD RECORD MADE
BY GERMAN RAIDERS
l6 Women, 26 Children and
Score Of Old Men and
Cripples Their Victims
Rx Ed L. Keen.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
London, June 14.-For pure fiendish
ness of purpose and in the CHASTITY toll
of innocent women and children and old
men, Germany's air raid on London OF
yesterday was the most murderous Of
all the aerial piracy which England
has seen.
New destructive and pain making
missiles were dropped by the invaders.
Most of the injured suffered terribly
from acid fluids contained in many Of
the bombs. The children and women
writhed in hospital beds today from
great burns caused by these murderous
missiles.
Germany will report success" in
this air raid. Here is the total Of that
success, as compiled from official data
today:
Killed, 81
Children, 26.
Women, 16.
Men, IS, including a score Of feeble,
aged men and cripples.
Injured:
Children, o. women, l22; men, 223
School Houses Attacked
The buildings damaged were of an
utterly non.artillery character. School
houses were included in those struck.
Tiny bodies were still buried beneath
the wreckage today, it was believed
The public believes its aerial patrols
and anti-aircraft guns drove off the
Germans before they could do more
killing over the capital city. There was
no disposition to criticise the defensive
measures. England realizes that the
only way TO stop the Germans entirely
would be to Gordon the air with vast
fleet of patrol aeroplanes. But TINS IS
exactly what the Germans want, With.
drawal Of machines from the front
would probably take away England g
complete aerial supremacy in the west
eru front, blind Field Marshal Haig 8
q eves,, and may seriously hamper the
suecess of his great offensive. Because
The public realizes this, it was deter
mined to bear such losses Of yesterday
with fortitude. In all the aftermath
d;seussions, however, there was the
PRAYER expressed that America would
soon start huge aerial fleet overseas.
The sooner American airmen get into ae-
tion ON the western front, the sooner
can Germany's air piracy be stopped IN
the public view.

details concerning the Non Partisan
league Of his state.
After the seating of the delegates
through the report of the creden
tials committee, reports from the of
ficers of the state grange were called
for, and State Master Spence said in
part: sour nation is now at war, and
it became our first duty to so manage
our work that the demand for food sup.
plies will be met. Our county agents in
form us that there has been large in.
crease in the acreage planted.
Big Shortage of Farm Help
"There is already a great shortage
of farm helr. While the deficiency
may be partially supplied from the
cities, unframed help is unsatisfactory
while the Importation of oriental labor
should not be considered.
eff farm labor and the farmers
are not as well paid as those en-
gagged in other industries, much of the
labor and many of the farmers will drift
to those industries that pay most. Then
in another year the nation will pay the
price.
War is Social Enterprise
This was IS great social enter
prise. For some the duty is to fight !;
for others to furnish money. The citizen
who contributes his entire income, be-
yond what is necessary for subsistence
itself, does less than the citizen who
himself to the nation. Our
soldiers and sailors viii fight loyalty
in any case, but their spirit will be the
more indomitabie if they feel that every
man who stays at home is serving the
country to the utmost with his sub
stance.
"An America in which every citizen,
without discrimination, is called upon to
do and to give all that he can, all that
his powers permit, will be united Am
erica, and united America is bound to
be vietorious We now have eonserip-
tiOn Of men; why not eonseription of
wealth.
Spence Explain- Bond Opposition.
fsThe Oregon State grange having at
the last two sessions gone on record as
opposed to bond issues for road building
as a principle, this six million dollar
road bonding was opposed by me in the
legislature, and during the campaign.

Washington, June l4.-Editors' note
The following interview with Wesley
Frost, former consul at Queenstown
gives the first complete comprehensive
picture of Germany's horror was as
reflected by the sea graveyard off the
coast of Ireland. Frost, more than any
other American, has seen the fruits OF
this submarine warfare-in twisted
mangled corpses at Eshe Queenstown

Back home for rest from gruesome
labors from which he never faltered,
Frost with the special permission of
the censorship has given his story of
his impressions to the nited Press. The

Washington, June 14.-"The subma
Tine war grows more barbarous every
day. 1t has now reached the plane of
deliberate murder for every ship sunk

not the fault of the Germans that ey-

Phat is the kaiser S unrestricted sub

man who probably knows more about

any other-certainly more than any 9th

Frost today. "1n the first place, moi

PRESIDENT WILSON
A SKIS Authority from Congress to Protect
american Ships and Lives.

A SKIS Authority from Congress to Protect
American Ships and Lives.
WASHINGTON, Feb &c. President Wilson
today took the inevitable step and asked Con-
gress for authority to use the forces OF the
United States tc protect American ships and
lives against the German submarine menace
to put the nation in state of armed neutrality.
The immediate response was the introduction
in the House of bill, approved in advance by
the President empowering him to furnish guns
and gunners to American merchantmen and to
"employ such other instrumentallties and
methods" as may become Mt cessary ;and proVld
ing for $IOO,OOO,00O bond issues to be used in
his discretion for war insurance to encourage
American commerce to brave the submarine
peril.
The Presidents long expected action, while
received in the main with expressions of sup
port, threatens to force extra session of
Congress.
Republicans, disinclined to grant blanket au-
thority while Congress is in recess, give evil
dence of opposing the legislation the President
asks, not for the purpose of withholding 1t, but
to force him to have Congress in special session
to take a hand in the next steps which they
feel will lead to war. The Republicans are
receiving passive support from the Democra-
tic element classed as pacifst.
The Presidents request for authority to use
"other instrumentalities" is the principal stick
i g Joint, Even the Republicans, and some OF
the Democrats who hesitate to give him what
he asks, say they would be wiling to give
him authority to arm American ships or act on
