BR|TONS DEMAND
'REpR|SALS UPON
GERMAN TOWNS
Almost Universal Voice OF Pro.
test Being Raised in England
at lnadequacy of Air De-
Tense of Kingdom.

London, July S~-An intensified de-
mand for reprisals has followed the
air raid of yesterday. All the Sun
day newspapers declare the people of
London are furious at the inadequacy
OF the city's defense as it was revealed
yesterday.
The Sunday Times says the crying
need of 1917 is for airplanes, as it
was for shells in 1915, and declares
the government must be compelled to
realize that the airplane will be the
ultimate and deciding factor of the
war. 1t insists that thousands must
be built to carry the war into enemy
territory. An aviation expert says in
an article in the Times:
"There is a huge output to be had
from America if our new ally will
consent to accept ready-made designs
from Europe and not insist on want
ing to do her own experimenting"
Lloyd's News, also demanding
greater airplane production, says;
"The raiders yesterday came at
their leisure and bombed at their
leisure. Their, fight over London
was so slow that it looked like alpa-
rade. They seemed to despise our de-
fenses."
Kennedy Jones, director of food
economics, speaking at Muswell Hill,
surburb of London, said there must
be no more shilly- -shallying with the
question of rcprisals, and disquieting
reports that Lord French is ham,
pered in the discharge Of his duties
by other departments must be dis
posed of once and for all.
Streets Crowded at Time.
The second descent upon London
by a squadron of airplanes was made
yesterday morning between = and IL
o'clock, when the Business section OF
the metropolis was most crowded.
Although the German contingent
was larger, more daring, more delib-
crate in it's movement, and descended
much lower than on the visit of june
13, the number of killed and wounded
was, according to the first official
roll, roughly, one e-third the previous
casualty list. The destruction oi
property may have been greater, but
that is impossible to estimate.
Thirty-seven persons were killed
and 14l injured, it was officially an
nounced.
Raid Lasts Twenty Minutes.
The flight of the Germans over
London lasted about twenty minutes
British airmen engaged the enemy for
several minutes over the metropolis
! and anti-aircraft guns were firing
briskly, dottiag the sky with shrapneI
puffs, but without success so far as
concerned the destruction of any oi
| the twenty or more machines which
constituted the invading force.
The morning was one of haze
weather most favorable for crossing
the channel without being observed
On their former visit, made in similar
weather, the Germans kept high ur
in the mists, but today, when they
neared their objective. most Of then
descended. Their formation was like
flock of wild geese as they ap'
preached, and neither the British pur'
suers nor the guns we're able to scat
ter them until they spread out before
letting loose the bombs.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
on roofs, from windows and gathered
in the streets saw the remarkable
spectacle. All London heard tht
noise of battle.
At first there were few minute:

WORE FREAK LEGISLATION

In their fanatical zeal, friends of
prohibition have caused to be added
to the postal appropriation bill an
amendment which prohibits news
papers, magazines, ETC., from mailing
their publications containing liquor
advertisements to states which have
prohibition laws. The amended bill
passed the Senate Thursday and will
now go to the House for ratification.
A bill to bar liquor advertisements
from the mails already has passed the
Senate. 1t may never reach a vote in
the House, but by attaching the legis-
lation to the appropriation bill action
is assured.
Should this bill become a law, it
will work a great hardship to Nevada
papers, all of which carry liquor adj
vertisements, as it would have the
practical effect of restricting their
circulation to this State.
1t is difficult to see just what harm
can be done to the readers of news
papers in prohibition states if they
occasionally encounter a liquor ad-
vertisement . The proposed law is
unreasonable and should be promptly
killed in the House.
Friends of prohibition may rest as
sured that they will secure no con
verts among the newspaper fraternity
by attempting to force legislation Of
this character through Congress.

~KNOCKERsv AT HOME

Strange-isn't it?-that we read in
British board of trade reports thai
laboring men are better off in Amer
lea than in Great Britain, and then
read an interview with an American
who aserts that "the workirgman in
the United States today has often
less chance to obtain a good home
and lives less well, than his fellow
workman in Europe. With meageI
facilities, as compared with those
which obtain abroad. the American
workman today is receiving five times
the wages of those that are paid in
Europe, where the standards of living
are higher"
Compare that knock" at the United
States, by an American, with the re-
port of the English board of trade
after an investigation Of wages and
living conditions of workmen in the
cities Of the United States. The board
expressed surprise to ind that in
some Of the cities a very considerable
proportion Of the dwellings Inhabited
by the working classes are owned By
their occupiers. and made special REL
erence 10 ~the considerable expendi-
ure on food and the large proportion
Of income remaining after the cost
OF food and rent has been deducted.
The unsupported statement that the
American workman has less chance
to obtain q good home and lives less
well than MS European contemporary.
