A|RCRAF I IN LONDON NIGHT RAID
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Sept 29.- Hostile air planes raided London again tonight.
 An official announcement says:
 Hostile airplanes crossed the coasts of Kent and Essex in groups between s and o'clock. Several attacks were made upon London and some bombs were dropped in the northeast and southeastern districts Bombs were also dropped at various places in Kent and Essex. No reports of casualties have yet been received
 An official statement tonight says
 Naval aircraft made a bombing raid Thursday on storehouses, etc, on the southwestern side of Beirut harbor (Syria). Many direct hits were ob- served and fires were started. All our machines returned safe The store houses on the Mole were afterwards shelled by cruiser and set afire."
 London's warning of an impending raid was given quickly by policemen riding through the streets with take cover" signs on their breasts and every one hurried to shelter Soon the distant roar of guns was heard. Then the eX- plosions of guns and the crack of shrapnel bursting in the air came near CT. The flash of the bursting shells in the night was incessant. From all di- rections the defense guns boomed.
 Mingled with the sound of the guns the whirring of Gothas was heard over head. Bombs began 60 drop. The fire of the anti-aircraft guns seemed heav- fer than on previous raids and it was obvious that barrages were being thrown up to defeat the raiders. At this time it appears that the barrages at least prevented the raiders from having their own way.
 During the raid the staccato rattle of machine guns high in the air was evil dence that the raiders were being hot ly engaged by the British fliers In the brilliant moonlight civilians who ventured to look up were unable to see anything of the machines although they could hear directly overhead the whirr of the engines. In another hour the guns were roaring in the distance and then they ceased entirely When the signal "all clear was given, Lon don came out of it's shelters and went to bed. The moon was still brilliant although a fog, which was favorable to the raiders, began to set in. Some cau- tious persons remained near shelter fearing another raid might occur before morning.

FUR INTERNATIONAL
 CONTROL IF SUGAR
TRepubIican A.P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Plans for international control of sugar prices and distribution were announced to- night by the food administration. The aim is to stabilize the trade through an international sugar committee which will arrange for refiners' pur- chases in the West Indies and in American insuar possessions.
 "This cooperative buying between the refiners and those purchasing raw supplies for England, France r." V nd Canada, with the resultant elim- ination of competitive buying" said the announcement ''is expected to save consumers many millions of dol lars and to prevent the rapi dfluctu- ations in prices we have seen since the outbreak of the European war"
 The members of the committee fol- low:
 Sir Joseph White Todd and John V. Drake of England, representing the European allies, and George M. Rolph of San Francisco; Earl D. Babst, pres ident of the American Sugar Refining company, and William A. Jamison of Arbuckle Brothers, representing the United States.
 The first move will be to open nego- tiations with the Cuban government for an agreement fixing the price to be paid Cuban sugar producers.
 The margin of profit for the jobber and broker will be regulated, it is an- nounced, like that of the refiner, but the control ends here. The food ad ministration's hope is to keep retail prices down by publicity.

BERLIN, Sept. 29, (Via London)- British admiralty per wireless Press)- The German secretary for foreign af- fairs; Dr. von Kuehlmann, before the reichstag main committee said he could not venture to say what would be the immediate outcome of the papal steps toward peace
 This courageous initiative of the pope" said the secretary, will mark an epoch in history. The pope threw the word peace. into the turmoil of battle when events threatened to transform Europe into bloodstained ruins.
 The German people and govern ment. whose consciousness of their strength always made it easy for them to emphasize their willingness to con- clude honorable peace, welcome the in itiative of the Curia, which made 1t possible for them to set forth again their national policy in clear, unam- biguous manner. l say Intentionally national policy as the reply of the German government embodies the de- sires of the majority of Germans. For our purely German develop ment. the note is also a landmark. It is the first result of collaboration be- tween all the factors of the govern ment. That has been attempted here for the first time.''
 This collaboration, added the secre- tary is of a kind which a statesman having the German foreign policy ai heart might regard with perfect confi- dence. He denied there is in Germany one policy of the government and an other of the people.

ENGLAND LIKELY T0RETAL|ATEFO FUR
 GERMAN AIR RAIDS
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1


 LONDON, Sept. 29.-There are the best of reasons for believing that the continued German airplane attacks on England with the plain purpose of kill ing civilians will not pass without re- taliation. The idea of killing women and children is repugnant to the British mind, but just as the army was forced to use poisonous gas against the Ger man soldiers, or be in the position of fighting with one hand tied behind it's back, so the British will be compelled to fight the Germans in the air by bombing German cities, according to belief now generally held here. They have the necessary machines, and bet ter aviators. but heretofore preferred to use them solely against the fighting men.
 The defenses of England against at tack have proved to be almost as ef- fective against airplanes as they were against Zeppelins, which have practi- cally retired from business since the death of their inventor. But the fact that airplanes can scatter and present such small target makes them more difficult to deal with.
 This is shown by the experience of one British squadron in France which has carried out 113 raids in five months and has lot only four machines.
 The method of putting up an aerial shrapnel barrage arourl London with numbers of heavy guns firing contin- lously gives nervous people the idea that great raid is on, whereas two of the noisiest nights which London has experienced Monday and Tuesday of this week. involved small casualties lists. Shrapnel which goes into the ai, has to come down, but any house is shrapnel proof and hundreds of thous- ands of persons who used to flock te the roofs and the streets to see the Zeppelins have learned to keep indoors

 GLOBE, Sept. 29.-CounseI for George D.

 In this connection the defense put three women on the stand none of whom was cross -examined by the state. Attorneys for the state declared today that thev would put witnesses on the stand Tuesday to refute Smiths claim that he directed strikers to prevent autos from passing the lines with the full permission of the county officers of the law. The case will probably go to the jury Tuesday.

BAN |S IN. WAR NEWS IF WEST
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel

At a late hour the ban on press dis patches from the Franco Belgian front apparently had not been raised and the world was left to guess the reason for it.
 Field Marshal Ifaigs report in the forenoon was of routine character, merely announcing reciprocal artillery fire. The Berlin statement was sim ilarly unilluminating.
 From the French front violent artil- lery activity was reported east of the Mouse in the Nerdun region.
 The official statement from Rome shows General Cadorna giving his in- fantry rein again, with the result that an important gain was effected in the Monte San Gabrielle region, northeast of Gorizia A surprise attack carried out with complete success gave the Italians a line rectified to their ad- vantage between Sella Di Dol and the northern slopes of Monte San Gabrielle, PA prisoners and a few machine guns being captured in the operation. The new line was solidly maintained against several Austrian counter at Jacks.
 The Italian air operations were again of importance, the airmen once more sweeping over the Austrian naval base at Pola, where the arsenal and sub marine base were bombed by a big squadron Austrian military estab- lishments in the Carso zone were also successfully attacked.
 How heavy the fighting was on the British front in Flanders and north ern France during September, despite the absence of attacks on large scale until its closing days, is indicated by the figures of British casualties re- ported during the month, showing a total of 104,598, of which the Killed comprised 1S,93S. These figures com pare with total casualties of 59,S11 for August and 119,549 for September a year ago, the third month of the Somme battle.
 Friday nights German air raid on England was an abortive affair and costly for the Germans, resulting in negligible material damage and no cas- ualties are so far reported. The air men were unable to reach London, the alert and effective work of British anti-aircraft guns and air forces set ting up a barrier which was not pierced. while two of the German ma chimes were also shot down on the coast.
