that the industries and working capacity
Of the people of London have been seri-

more than two hours on six nights the
great majority Of Londoners have been
forced to give up their ordinary pursuits

In public buildings and underground rail-
ways. while the guns were roaring in bat
tie all around them and shrapnel was
falling in the streets.
Local and suburban travel has been
largely at a standstill during these
periods and all classes of night work
have been interfered with. while the
day work has been curtailed SO that
clerks and workmen might get to their
homes from offices. factories and shops
before the expected raids began. Ten
thousands persons, who are not com
pelled to remain in London. have moved
to country resorts at large aggregate
expense. and the late afternoon trains
have been packed with the nightly
exodus. Many poor families have
camped In the suburban parks and
commons.

ANOTHER AIR RAID

by French aviators. The cities OF

be bombed with compound interest.

whole press and public opinion are now
demanding that the policy of passive

wased Immediately.

Guardian, which have taken the line
that air raids accomplished little be-
SnpCppdp6
manning only an infnitesimal number
of people compared with the casual
ties on the battle front, have changed
their policy.
Large Defense Forces Necessary.
What the German air raids and the
threats of attacks on England have ac
complished in a purely military way is
known TO the whole world. and to none
better than the Germans BY the i'm
ployment of some fifty machines. and,
at the most. 200 men, including aviators
and mechanics. the enemy has forced
England to detach several hundred
valuable guns and several thousand
men. including skilled gunners. for
home defense. and also a large number
of machinists. searchiights. with oper-
at1ng staffs, and other experts. The
men and material devoted to this
offensive Is small compared with the
men and material these attacks compel
ENGLAND to maintain for the defensive.
The direct results of this campaign,
apart from those military factors, have
been the killing or wounding of civilians
and the damaging of property to a much
smaller degree than the German people
fondly believe. But there Is bill of in
direct damages which cannot be taken
lightly. The Germans will learn of it
and by this time have learned of 1t
through black headlines and pages of de-
tails published by the London papers
even through numbers. of cartoons and
jokes which the comic Journals devote to
It. IL is a fact, impressed upon all
Americans and other onlookers. that few
other people in the world, if any, would
undergo such experiences with as much
bravery and composure as~she English
have done.

The fact Of the correspondence be-
tween the kaiser and the car be-
came known to the governments OF
England and France. They learned
what the kaiser had undertaken to
do with his million troops.
They decided that it would be bet
ter to lend the money to the cars
automatic government than allow
Germany to annex Russia, which
would be the practical result If the
kaiser swept in with his troops.
They therefore allowed the loan to
be made. Russia took the money and
with it suppressed the revolution.
Not observe that when the revolu-
ton Of this year broke forth and the
cars advisors saw that it was Sc
rious their very first word was to OPP
en- the front and let the German
! troops in to put the rebellion down.
1t is plain enough, therefore, that
the old agreement still STOOD in spite
Of the war, and that at signal the
kaiser's soldiers were ready to rush
in, shoot down the Russian reVolu-
tionsts and put the car back on the
throne.
Nothing prevented this except the
cars perception that the revolt had
gone so far it could not be suppressed
without bloody fighting in the heart
of Russia and that he was not will
ing then to bring 1t about.
These are the facts. They show
how absolutely the life Of democracy
in Russia hangs upon the defeat Of
Germany.
They show the Kaiser, also, as he
really is, the frantic foe Of the Dem
ocratic aVance, the mad dog Of Eu-
rope. crazed with the notion that he
is. divinely appointed to prevent the
world from passing under mob rule,
and ready to pour out his peoples
blood to keep any old throne any
where from tottering to the ground.
He asvised the car to put down
with a ruthless hand every insurrec-
ton, There is no question as to what
he would do If his armies should ever
break through that eastern front.

heads, and pro.Germanists are now
engaged in helping him to break
through.
