INDIGNATION
AT AIR RAIDS
IS WIDESPREAD
English Discuss Possibility
of Attack by 1000
Machines
REPRISALS ARE
BEING DEMANDED
Revision of England's En-
tire Aerial System is
Advocated
(Rv Associated Press.l

London, July 9.-The morning
newspapers subordinate everything
to Saturdays air raid. The comment
thereon reflects the popular indigna-
ton, while some indulge in spirited
condemnation Of the government.
The country. it is declared. has
been Inundated and disgraced in a
manner never experienced since the
Dutch feet burned Chatham more
than two hundred and fifty years ago
The incident is described by the
most angry commentators as dis
graceful alike to the war office and
the admiralty air service and the re-
moval of those responsible for the
miserable display Of incompetence,
is demanded.
1t is remarked also that the aerial
attack raises TO a practical level the
questio nof a possible absolute dew
astation Of London by aircraft and
the infiiction Of such losses as would
amount to serious military defeat. II
score Of enemy machines are able
to cooperate with a calm impunity
it Is asked what will happen If two
hundred come or as The Koelnische
Zeitung recently urged, a thousand.
Some editorials referred to the
hope Of the advent OF American air
forces.
In political circles there is consid-
erable criticism Of the failure on the
part of England's air defense, to
ward off the German raiders. Free
lances in the house Of commons are
planning to lombard the government
for an overhauling Of the whole sys-
tenn. Those who favor raids in re-
prisal are active and the ministers
will be asked to state specifically
the reasons why no reply is made in
reprisal to the German raids by Eng
land. In this the advocates of re-
prisal are being backed by masses
Of the people in the quarters affected
by recent raids.
Although some of those injured on
Saturday are in serious condition in
most cases they are progressing fav-
orably and no further deaths have
occurred in the two hospitals which
received the largest number of pa
tients. Some of the streets in which
bombs were dropped were still clos
ed to traffic this morning.
The police were still searching the
ruins of East End tenements for a
number OF persons who are missing.

ed of dwellings except smouIdering
ruins around which gathered women
and children searching for some
memento of their homes.
Indifferent to the steady downpour
of rain which lasted the whole day
many thousands visited the area
where bombs fell. A close inspection
Of the damaged. buildings showed
that the zone affected by each bomb
was circumscribed in nearly every
case.
The damage consisted mainly of
broken glass. The actual material
damage effected was comparatively
insignificant, which tends to prove
that the bombs carried by the raiders
were far less destructive than those
carried in the Zeppelin raids. Satur-
days aerial attack more than ever
proved the wisdom Of seeking shelter.

AIR SQUADRON
IN LONG FLIGHT
Twenty-three Machines Fly
From Chicago to
Rantoul
(Bv Agsociated Press. )

Chicago, July 9.-What Is believed
to have been the longest squadron
flight of army aeroplanes so far, was
quietly accomplished today. Twenty
three airplanes under Captain Roy
s. Brown, of the signal corps took
the air this morning from the avia-
ton field at Ashburn, a suburb and
few in one hour and thirty five
minutes, practically a mile a minute
to Rantoul near Champaign. Ill.
One plane landed II miles from
Rantoul for gasoline but rose with
little delay. The departure of the
flyers marked the abandonment OF
Ashburn for a training camp for
aviators as the government was un-
able to obtain additional land with
out paying what it considered too
high a price.

Petrograd, July Especial )--Is
Alexander Kerensky, Russia's fiery
young war minister, the new Napo-
leon" of Tolstoy's famous prophecy,
who is to end the war and hold Eur
ope in his grip until 1925?
That .Kerensky is the figure whose
coming was foretold by the great
Russian novelist seven years ago Is
the opinion of increasing numbers
of Russians. They point to the tTe-
mendous achievements of the young
war minister, whose impassioned
speeches at the front resulted in the
launching of big offensive against
the Austro- Germans.
Count Tolstoy uttered his prophecy
in 1910. He foresaw the sort of a
war that has overwhelmed the world,
and believed that 1t would start in
the Balkans, where the last war was
fought in 1912. A part of his
prophecy follows:
THE great confiagration will start
about 1912, set by the torch of war
in the countries of southeastern
Europe. 1t will result in a destruc-.
tive calamity in 1913.
'In that year see all Europe in
flames and bleeding. ! hear the la
mentations of huge battle fields. But
about the year 1915 a strange figure
from the north-a new Napoleon
enters the stage of the bloody
drama.
HE is a man of little military
training, a writer or a journalist,
but in his grip the most of Europe
will remain until 1925. The end of
the great calamity will mark a new
political era for the Old World.
There will be left no empires and

COcOanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampOos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle .und
is very harmful. Just plain mulsitied
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampoolng, as
this can't possibly inJure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub It In. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle OF dust, d,st, dandruff and ex-
cesslve oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves II fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II Is very
cheap, and a few ounces Is enough &c
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.
