women and children and remains of
animals killed by the first bombs lay
in the street for fully fifteen minutes
before being removed. During this time
other bombs continued to explode near
the bodies making it impossible to re-
move them.
USED SAME TACTICS.
The first squadron of five airplanes
was followed after short intervals by
a second squadron and then a third
and fourth, each of which repeated the
tactics OF the first group
The worst damage done was from a
group OF bombs which struck the busy
business throughfare, thronged with
people. AT one spot, Is women,
s men and children were killed and AZ
persons were injured.
As soon as the raiders had dropped
their bombs they turned homeway,
probably aware they would have to
face an attack from entente allied air
planes which would be sent against
them from the other side of the Eng
Iisn channel. The British and French
airplanes met the Germans on the way
and spirited air fighting occurred with
the result that. three of the'raiders were
shot down
Reports this evening from the sur
rounding district indicated there was
some bombing or neighboring villages,
even some distance inland. These bombs
mostly were dropped as the German air
planes were making a wide circle to
approach this town from the land side.
NARROWING TO POPULACE
The intervals of comparative quiet
after the departure Of each squadron
of raiders were only broken by the
sound of distant firing of naval guns
out at sea and were even more harrow
ing TO the populace than were the brief
periods when the bombs actually were
bursting In the town.
After each visit the people I'm shell
tiers or cellars asked each other whether
this was the last. Hours after the last
raider had gone many people kept to
their shelters in belief that more raid
ers were coming. There was much
employment for voluntarily relief work
ers this evening. The hospitals were
crowded not only with injured but with
women and children suffering from
shock, while the police and constables
had their hands full patrolling the de-
vastated districts and doing the grue-
some work OF rescue. Identification and
hundreds of odds and ends which such
crisis brings to an unprepared town.
Scarcely any part of the town escaped
injury. At least sixty bombs were

over the town. The greatest damage
was done in the shopping center, but
many Of the people on the crowded
streets were able 10 take. cover.
Bombs were dropped in three neigh
boring towns. No deaths i'm those places
are reported. although several persons
were injured.
The injured civilians here have been

Not Be Conscripted

WASHINGTON. May 25.-The war
department is considering whether to
shut off volunteering for the regular
army and national guard after regis

would escape being drafted into the new

ABANDON FOOD pREJuplcEs.

Don't Be Finicky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nourishing foods widely used and en- ioyed in one section are practically unknown in other sections of the country. Learn to know all the good things: not a few only.
 People too easily get into food ruts insist on eating only the food they are used 10 and refuse to give fair trial to others This causes undue demand for certain staples, with re- sulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short At the same time other valuable foods may be relative ly cheap and available.
 Cook Food Properly: Learn how to cook all kinds of staple foods and to serve them in variety of ways. Simple dishes we'll prepared are bet ter than expensive foods badly cook. ed. Many persons are prejudiced against certain good foods because. when first tried. the foods were in. properly cooked or prepared. Remove from your vocabulary don't like" or cant eat" Most individual preju- dices against widely popular foods are either imaginary or baseless Try to like every simple food; give IL fair trial

WOMEN AND WASTE

President Wilson, through the National Council for Defense, is calling on the women of Arkan- sas to conserve the food. Not all of us could buy a Liberty Bond, not all of Us can enlist fer trench service but every woman can en roll for food conservation This is not new lesson for.s suffra- gists since they were the first organization of women to offer the President their service, and cooperation by teaching SAgri- culture and the elimination of waste.
 It has been pointed.out that iI che United States only 20 per of the food ultimately reaches the kitchen. but that women must account for the talents giv an them is imperative at this time.
