AIR RAIDERS Once
MORE DROP BOMBS
Three SquadronS Crossed the
Coast and Two Planes Lost

London, Sept. ga telegram from
Kent says of the German air raid last
night that three squadrons successful
ly crossed the coast, flying we'll below
thick black clouds which obscured
the nearly full moon. The invaders
met with hot reception of the anti
aircraft guns. Nevertheless, the first
section succeeded in dropping shells
and steered in direction of (censored)
whence loud explosions of bombs
were soon heard. The second section
also passed the gunfire in the same
direction. The third squadron is be-
lieved to have been driven seward.
The Telegram adds that bombs were
dropped at two places.
Another despatch describes a small
squadron of raiders as going toward
London and returning apparently one
by one. A telegram from Essex says
that two bombs were dropped in that
district.
Two German airplanes which took
part in the raid over the southeast
coast were brought down, it is an
nounced officially. No casualties were
caused by the raid.

j. 5. TELLS HOW TO
out damn SPOT
Removal Of Stains Easy If You
Study This Lesson

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2s-To
give clothes longer period of SER
vice. and to conserve garments or IA
brics which may appear to be hope
lessly stained, is the object of a new
publication just issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Lady Macbeth might have had less
trouble with that spot if she could
have read this bulletin on "The Re-
moval Of Stains from Clothing and
Other Textiles Uncle Sam says that
it the housewife knows the cause Of
a stain. she can find a commonsense
way to get rid of it by following the
directions given in this bulletin. Meth
obs arc outlined for the removal of
practically any kind of stain, from
acids all the way through the alpha
bet to "whitewash." They have been
tested by the home economics experts
of the department.
One of the first requisites in remov-
ing stains, says the bulletin, is to know
the kind of fabric which is spotted
and, If possible, the nature of the
stain. Some stain removers which
will give admirable results on cotton
or linen, may, iF applied to wooden
Or silk, remove pieces of the fabric
dS we'll DIS Inc stain. LIKEWISE, stain
removers which are entirely satsfac-
tory for cleaning silk or wooden ma
terials cannot always be used for re-
moving stains from vegetable fibres,
such as cotton or linen. Similarly,
treatment which will remove some
stains immediately will cause those of
different nature to take firmer hold
on the fabric.
The second cardinal principle in
spot removal is to work while the stain
is fresh. Cold or lukewarm water is
usually the housewives best bet for a
first step, the bulletin indicates, if the
nature Of the stain is not known and
If the fabric is not injured by water.
Hot water should not be used until it
is determined that the staining ma
terial is such that it will not be "set"
by heat. Stains from meat juice, blood,
egg, milk and other materials contain
ing protein are set by hot water.
If stains are of such a nature that
they will not yield to laundering or
sponging with water or with water and
soap, 1t is necessary to use one or more
of a number of chemicals. Besides
water and soap the bulletin names as
the substance most useful in removing
stains, Javelle water, potassium per-
manganate solution, oXalic acid solu-
ton. ANN onia water, carbon tetrach-
lorid, French chalk, and cream of tar
tar, each of which may be used sue
cessfully, provided the right one Is
used at the right time. Detailed in
structions for treating various stains
are contained in the publication. Cop

WORK PANACEA FOR
ARMENIANS' WOES
Occupied Minds Force Their
Troubles Into Background

A relief agent in the Russian eau
casus, Harrison A. Maynard, writes to
friends in the United States Of the
need to give Armenian refugees en-
poyment so that their minds may be
taken off the horrible experiences
through which they have passed and
at the same time they have become
self supporting once more.
"Why should we live?" woman
who used to work for him, asked Mr..
Maynard. I'm spite of herself we en-
couraged her to work." goes on the
letter, land now she is somewhat
happy and very INDUSTRIOUS Another
woman of q different disposition was
so harassed by memories of the mas
sacres and by thoughts of the murder
Of her only son, teacher in the
American School at Bitlis, that she
could not sleep. When first given
wool to spin she worked at it des-
perately, going out at night into the
street to spin by the light Of the
street lamp, as she had none in the
house. When she has no wool to
spin she comes to our house, picks
over wheat by hand, sews or does
anything we can give her. Now I no.

Work has helped these women i'm
mensely. But they are only two out
of tens of thousands of similarly
conditioned women in the Caucasus.
Realizing their need we have opened
a shop to employ as many as pos
sible Already six hundred women
are employed in combing, spinning
and knitting wool. The first 10000
pairs of stockings knitted will be
given away with the clothing we are
providing from the 100000 recently
promised by the American COM
mittee for Armenian relief.
But we are not contented with en-
ploying only six hundred or seven
hundred women. We are eager to
open up similar work in other centers
and to extend it to weaving, which
would provide spinning for more wo-
men as well as weaving for the men.
Thus many could provide for their
own needs as well as have the moral
benefit which comes from occupation
Such q work, of course, would require
considerable capital but at the same
time it would be small in proportion

JAPANESE TELLS
OF GERMAN PLOT
Ambassador Informs New York Of
KaiSer'S Efforts for War

New York, Sept. 29.-Viscount Ishii,
head of the japanese Commission now
IN New York, last night charged Ger
| many with deliberately attempting to
bring about misunderstanding between
Japan and the United States The Wis.,
count spoke at a reception and sup
per in honor of the commission given
by the Japan Society at the Hotel AS
tor.
The strange thing about all this
muddle of misunderstanding in the
past years is that we have discovered
common characteristic in both the
Japanese and Americans. We have
both been too confiding. and at the
same time too suspicious and sensi-
tive. We have harbored the German
and we have received him as mutual
friend. His marvellous self-centred and
ordered existence, his system, his or
ganization and his all-pervading self
assertion coupled with the insistence
of the greatness of his fatherland have
motto sleep we have allowed him to
bring us almost to the verge of mu-
tual destruction.
1.-The agent of Germany in this
country and in ours has had as his one
purpose the feeling of our passions,
our prejudices and our distrust on
specially prepared German connection
until, drugged and inflamed we might
have taken the irrevocable step over
the edge and at his leisure the vulture
might have fattened upon our re-
mains.
This is not picture overdrawn. 1t
is true
Viscount Ishii then went on to say
that the German plans had failed, and
that the only real differences between
Japan and the United States were such
as might arise between friends at any
time and could always be settled in
friendly fashion.
