RAIDS ENGLAND
rs MACHINES COMPOSE RAIDING
PARTY AND TWO ARE
LOST.
FIRES STARTED IN LONDON
Reports Say Seven Were Killed and
"a Injured and Much Property
Loss Infllcted-Three Men
in Each Crew.

London.-After several weeks of re-
spite, London experienced another
German air raid-one Of the most de-
termined, but the most futile, yet at
tempted.
The first warnings were received
from the outlying districts when a
group of Gothas crossed the coast of
Kent Apparently their intention was
to make for London, but, after drop
ping bombs along the coast, they
made off seward again.
, It transpired that these were only
preliminary attacks, made with the
object Of drawing forth gunfre and
disclosing the location Of the defenses,
for an hour later five groups Of ma
chimes crossed the Essex and Kent
coasts and few directly to London,
attacking the city from two direc-
tons.
There are no reports of any bombs
having been dropped in the center of
London Several fell in the suburbs,
but without doing any great damage.
The casualties are reported to have
been light. Unlike the previous raids,
the Germans relied more upon incen-
diary than explosive bombs, with the
result that a number of fires broke
out.
1t was known before the official re-
port was issued that two Of the raid
ers had been brought. down and their
crews Of three men each captured
and that others of them were dam
aged.
According to an announcement made
in the house Of commons by the chan
cellor OF the exchequer, seven per-
sons were killed and 81 injured as
the result Of the raid. Three persons
were killed and 10 injured in Lon
don. The other casualties occurred
in the outlying districts.

BRAZIL IN A HOPEFUL HUMOR
Presidents Message Is Cited to Show
Perfect Alliance Between Popu-
lace and Government.

Rio Janeiro, Brazil.-President VIII.
sons message to congress has made
a notable impression throughout Bra
I'll, whose newspapers print it in full
under prominent headlines. Larazon
of Rio Janeiro says the document calls
for universal admiration, revealing as
it does such a broadness of vision
and superior comprehension of what
the grand alliance means.
New and happy times are ahead of
the people whose destinies are guided
by such man as President Wilson"
continues the newspaper. "The
United States occupies the most
prominent place in the world today
because Of the perfect alliance which
exists between the people and the
government. Such a grand example
would be sufficient to stimulate Bra
I'll into participation in the war even
had we not already had our own rea-
son for taking part in it."

SOLDIERS MOVED FROM EAST
Kaiser viii Transfer Men Now In
Russia to Western Line I'M
medlately.

Petrograd.-Germany apparently is
to be permitted, under the Russo
German armistice plan, to transfer all
the troops she desires from the Rus
sian fronts for use against the allies.
Full text of the armlstice agreement
signed by the 67th Russian and the
S1st German infantry divisions, as
published here in the newspaper
Praxda, shows no stipulation that
German troops must not be used
against the allies on other fronts.
Such a stipulation was specifically
pledged by Foreign Minister Trotzky
in recent speech.

MAY SOON SEIZE RAILROADS
ROADS UNDER CONTROL BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
Congress Ready to Support President
In Any Action for Ending
Congestion.

Washington. - Government opera
ton Of railroads is hanging in the
balance. On President Wilson de-
ponds whether the government should
lend the railways $1,000, 100000 or put
them under a federal dictator to end
the war freight jam.
Some congressman looked for the
president to seize control Of the rail-
roads before Christmas. They pre-
dicted legislation for uniflcation Of
the lines would mean a long delay.
The president desires immediate re-
lief. Under authority he already pos
sesses he could place every mile Of
track under federal control by the
stroke Of pen.
The four railroad brotherhoods are
united with the railway executives
against government control. Presi-
dent Wilson is understood to have
been told this when the labor leaders
saw him recently regarding their wage
demands. The brotherhoods favor
financial and legislative aid to the
carriers to enable them to unity op-
erations.
The railroad executives are prepar-
ing estimates Of the amount needed
for 1918 to place the lines on a war
efficiency basis. These estimates are
to be submitted by Senator Newlands
for presentation by him to the Presi-
dent. The president then is expected
to make known his views, possibly in
a special message to congress.
Legislators said they would follow
the presidents recommendations.
