APPEAL TO REICHSTAG

BERLIN, Sept. 29.-The German Sec

Main Committee of the Reichstag said
that he could not venture to say what
would be the immediate outcome of the
papal steps toward peace.
This courageous initiative of the
Pope" said the Secretary. will mark
AN epoch in the history OF this tremen-
dous battle of nations and will appear
as an unfading page in the annals of
Vatican diplomacy. The Pope threw
the word peace into the turmoil of bat
tie AT n time when events threatened to
transform Europe into place of blood
stained ruins.
The German people and the German
Government, whose CONSCIOUSNESS "
their strength and Internal security al
ways made 1t easy for them to empha-
size their willingness to conclude an
honorable peace. have reason to welcome
gratefully the initiative OF the cura,
which made 1t possible for them to set
forth again their national policy in a
clear, unambiguous manner. ] say in

between all the factors of the Govern

This collaboration. added the Secre-

and results, is of "A kind which a states

the amount has been computed on the

resources Of each district-that Is, the

income tax collected from each district,
the assessed value of property therein.

AIR RAIDERS IN NEW
ATTACK ON LONDON
Bombs Dropped in City, but
Damage Is Not Stated.

LONDON. Sept. 29.-Hostile airplanes
raided London again tonight
An official communication from the
Home Office on the latest raid says:
Hostile airplanes crossed the coasts
or Kent and Essex in groups between
8 and o'clock. Several attacks were
made upon London. and some bombs
we're dropped In the northeast and
southeastern districts.
Bombs were also dropped at various
places In Kent and Essex. No reports
Of casualties have yet been received.
Londons warning of an impending
raid was given quickly by policemen
riding through the streets with take
cover" signs on their breasts. and every
one hurried to shelter. Soon the distant
roar OF guns WAS heard. Then the ex-
plosions OF guns and the crack Of
shrapnel bursting In the air came nearer.
The fash of the bursting shells in tho
night was incessant. From all direc-
tions the defence guns doomed
Mingled with the sound of the guns
the whirring Of Gothas was heard over
head. Bombs began to drop, as could be
told by their peculiar, explosion. The
fire OF the anti-aircraft guns seemed
heavier than OH any previous raids.
1t was obvious that barrages were
being thrown UP to defeat the purpose
OF the raiders. At this time It appears
that the barrages at least prevented
the raiders from having their own way.

plane Of the Gotha type descended near

One Of Its three passengers was severely
wounded. The two unwounded passen-
