TWENTY SEVEN KILLED IN HUN
 ZEPPELIN RAID Of the Victims Eight Were Members of a Single
 Family.
MOTHER AND CHILD
 FOUR LITTLE GIRLS
Bombs of an Incendiary Nature We're DrOpped--Last Zeppelin Raid Took Place September
 the 94th.

London, Oct. 2O.-Of the 27 death officially reported as a result of last nights air raid seven persons were killed outright by bombs that fell in the shopping district of London and 1 Q by torpedo which destroyed three houses in the residential quarters. Of the latter victims eight belonged to one family, a mother and her infant, four girls and two boys. A lodger in the same house also was killed. It is reported from an eastern county that seven Zepplins swept over and had remained there for several hours last night and dropped 50 bombs, including a number of an incendiary nature. No casualties resulted, but a farm build- ing and an inn were damaged and two horses were killed in field. Most of the bombs dropped in the open coun- try.
 All thebig raids in recent weeks have been conducted by means of air planes, which proved extensively diff cult to combat on the moonlit nights chosen for their operations.
 After the last series of raids, during which heavy casualties occurred, it was announced that a reprisal had been decided upon by the British gov ernment.
 Last Zepplin Raid.
 The last previous use of the Zeppe- lin for raiding purposes was on Sep temberf "A, when an airplane raiding nlc ~s, planes reached London and worked considerable havoc, but the Zeppelins barely succeeded in crossing the coast line.
 The Germans lost two of their big airships on November 28 of last year, when raid was being attemtped and thereafter all through the spring and summer and early fall of this year air planes have been used almost exclus- ively for these death-dealing visits.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Robert Fitz' simmons. the pugilist. who is crit ically ill at a hospital here is making a brave fight for his life, although attending physicians hold out little hope for his recovery.

Among the tele' grams received today was one from Battling Nelson, sent from Paris, Tex, which was addressed to Good old Bob Fitzsimmons. and read as follows:
 eve all hope you put the solar rlexus punch over. If you can land a solar plexus, put over the left shiit [. and get we'll. One thing certain, II you lose the fight you will be fighting honestly to the finish. May the good Lord be with you so you win"

COL LOMBIA LINES UP
 AGAINST THE KAISER

Washington, Oct. 20. - Colombian senate has passed resolution pro- testing against Germany's ruthless submarine warfare, the senate depart ment was advised today by Perry Hell den, the American charge at Bogota.
 Officials here, viewed the action of the Colombian senate as signifying the development of better feeling toward this country and the allies. Failure of the United States senate to ratify the treaty to pay Colombia for the parti- ton of Panama had aroused consider able feeling in the South American republic.
 The adoption of the resolution was especially gratifying to officials here because German business interests in Colombia, which have been influen- tial with thegovernmenta party, have been conducting an energetic propa- ganda to prevent Colombia from join ing other South American countries in condemnation of German methods of warfare.

DECIDED CHANCE IN SElECTlVE
 DRAFT EXPECTED Operations of Local Boards Little More Than Rubber Stamp Proceedings. THE PRESIDENT
 APPROVES PLAN Local Boards Will be Given Ample Time to Familiarize Themselves.
 Next Call to Colors Under
 New Method.

Washington, Oct. 20.-A sweeping change in the machinery Of the se- lective draft based on division of the nine million remaining regis trancs into five classes ;n order of their eligibility for militarS service was announced today by Provost Mar shal General Crowder. Details of the plans which have been approved by President Wilson are not disclosed It is calculated, however, to do away with virtually all tns: complicated machinery of the first draft and to make operation of the local boards hereafter little more than rubber stamp proceedings. The plan was worked out at conferences with local board officials and approved by the various state authorities. Its chief features are that etery registered man will know his exact position and be able to arrange his affairs accord ingly and that no man deemed nec- essary to any important industry or needed at home to support his fam ily will be called to the colors unless the military situation is desperate. Detail regulations to govern the new system are being made ready for dis tribution to local and district board members.
 - General sCrowder in a forxhal state ment assured them that they will be given ample time to familiarize them selves with these regulations before the machinery provided is called into use.
 As the next call to tle colors is to be made under the new plan this as surance is taken to indicate that the second call is not to be expected be- fore the first of the year, altho no authoritative statement on this point was available tonight.
