Air Battle Over
East London

London, June 13.-The east end of
London was bombarded by Is hostile
aeroplanes today about noon. A large
number of British machines pursued
the German planes, which flew over
Essex toward London, and q great
battle took place in the air in which
entente aircraft guns on the ground
participated as we'll as the British
aviators.
In the house of commons today
Chancellor Bonar Law said 81 per-
sons had been killed and 81 injured
in the raid over London, as far as
could be ascertained. -
A bomb struck school house, kill
ing 10 children and injuring so. One
German aeroplane is reported to have
been brought down.
This is the fourth raid in Germany's
new series of aerial attacks on Eng
land in which aeroplanes have been
substituted for Zeppelins, apparently
ON account of the success Of the Bri-
tish in bringing down the dirigibles.
The east end of London, in which
live the city's poor. suffered heavily
from the raid Bombs fell in many
congested districts, and while the
number of casualties is not known,
two hospitals report handling upward
of so cases.
Mr.. Law said the casualties in the
whole metropolitan area were not
known.
The death of 49 persons and the
injury of 200 others in today's air raid
was announced by the Earl OF Derby
in the house OF lords today. The sec
retary said he feared these. figures
would be exceeded when additional
facts had been ascertAined.

T0WNLEY JAMS
THROUGH FIXED
RESOLUTIONS
Gear Gives Stark County People
Taste of Secret Caucus Meth
DDS Used Here .
GOVERNOR PLAYS FRIDAY
TO LEAGUE CZAR's CRUsoE
Chief Executive Talks for "Scrap
Of Paper" Before Packed
League Meeting -.

r Dickinson, N. D., June ia taste
of secret caucus methods as employ
ed by Car Townley at Bismarck last
winter was given Stark county yes
terday, when, at a so-called League
mass meeting packed for this ex.
press purpose, President Townley,
aided and abetted by his man Friday,
Governor Lynn J. Frazier, rammed
through a set of resolutions purport-
ing to represent the sentiment of
Stark county farmers and calling up
on President Wilson to remove
Chairman John H. Rich and Cover
nor Theodore Wold of the Ninth fed
eral reserve bank, and to appoint in
their places someone who is friendly
to the farmers" i. e., Townley, Bow
en-, Thomason and brother socialists.
The last week has been disagree
able one for the kaiser. His bad times
opened at Grand Forks, when he was
forced to acknowledge that he had
maligned Jerry Bacon, following his
abasement with complete apology.
Then came Theodore Wold's charges,
not against the farmers, as TOWnley
would have them believe, but against
Townley and Townleyism. Desperate
measures were needed. and TOwnley
was not slow in supplying them. t-..
, One paragraph of the resolutions Is
sufficient: @s..q.: .s..s, < .,...e i 81
Whereas, the farmers are support
ing the government, having borrow
ed money at high rate Of interest to
purchase seed at the gamblers and
speculators prices, in order to in
crease the acreage and assist their
nation; and whereas the federal re.
serve bank at Minneapolis under the
of Chairman John H.
Rich and Governor Theodore Wold,
has never given the assistance to the
Equity Cooperative exchange, to
farmers elevators and other farmers
enterprises" etc, therefore they are
forced to the conclusion that John H.
Rich and Governor Theodore Wold
are not serving the best interests of
this nation, and the president is re-
spectfully petitioned to remove them
$50 Farmers Out.
The resolutions, all nicely typed,
we're abruptly introduced at the close
of the meeting by Organizer A. E.
Bowen, who ratified through the lingo
in his best clerk of the house style.
Everyone was preparing to leave and
there was much confusion when a ris-
ing vote was taken on the adoption
of the resolutions. There were prob
ably $50 farmers, league members
only, present, and majority of these
stood up. Not a single Dickinson res
ident stood. and the vote by which
the resolutions were adopted is not
regarded as conclusive or representa-
tive. The league membership in
Stark county is scattering and so
small that the influence of the organ
ization is negligible. 80.
Dickinson is much incensed over
the leagues action in sending out
these resolutions as representing the
sentiment in Stark county. Realizing
the temper here was not favorable to
anarchy and socialism,, Frazier Bow
en-, Thomason and Townley in their
talks were milder than elsewhere.

:. Greece would have been in the wal
on the side of the lies long time
ago il it had not been for the action
of Nicholas when he was czar Of Rus
sia.
Revolution had been brewing in
Greece since almost the beginning Of
the war. England and France looked
upon such action with favor, for they
saw in it's success another ally
against the Central Powers.
Premier Venizelos at first tried to
persuade King Constantine to enter
the war, but when he saw, his re.
quests were of no avail the premier
resigned and Etienneo Skouloudis
took his place.
The people of Greece have been al
most solidly behind Venizelos. They
have not forgotten their enmity to
Bulgaria, since the Balkan wars of
1912, and resented any action that
would go to bind the two nations to-
gether. !
King Constantine was torn between
his people and the queen, who is a
sister of Kaiser Wilhelm. Her dom
inant spirit kept him on the throne
while Venizelos and the people de-
manded his dethronement.
Venizelos needed the approval OF
the Allies to carry through revolu-
ton and depose the king. Revolution
meant democracy for Greece. Dem
ocracy meant alliance against kaiser
ism.
But the car of Russia put his foot
down on the idea.
There is one tie that binds the ma
tions of Europe together stronger
than even treaties or alliances, of
war. That is royalty. Royalty DYER
thrown in one country is felt keenly
by the royal families of the rest of
Europe, be they apparently friendly
or hostile.
That is why the car did not favor
the idea of revolution. 1t meant
the overthrow of another ruler. He
was willing to sacrifice success in the
war, through the added aid of demo.
cratic Greece, rather than approve the
overthrow of monarchy.
Besides, Nicholas was related to
King Constantine. Constantine's moth
er is the Grand Duchess Olga Con-
stantinovna of Russia. She is niece
of the former cZar's grandfather.
Blood relationship tightens the tie of
royalty.
