GERMANS ATTACK LONDON.
Four Groups of Hostile Airplanes
Bombard Southwestern District.

London.-The strongest air attack
vet attempted on London was carried
out Monday night by four groups OF
hostile airplanes. Some of the ma
chimes got through to London and
bombarded the southwestern district.
A terrific barrage was sent up from
the defense guns and the roar of battle
lasted internationally for two and a
half hours.
The Germans bombed the coast
towns as they passed over and pro-
ceeded toward London. Two of the
group succeeded in getting number
of machines through the sky barrage.
Numerous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district, which is thickly
populated with the homes of the upper
and middle classes. The fire from the
defending guns was longer and louder
than ever before. A rain of shrapnel
fell i'm all sections of the town and the
streets were virtually deserted.

BAN ON EXPORTS
TO Be T|GHTENED
SMUGGLING OF FOOD FROM
UNITED STATES THROUGH HOL-
LAND TO GERMANY REVEALED.
Appeals for Supplies viii Be Disre-
garded Unless Ironclad Assurances
Are Given That Teutons Will in
No Way Profit.

Washington.-Ey that large
quantities of fats and other large inn
ports from the United States are be-
ing Struggled into Germany on a
much larger scale than has been even
intimated before was brought to light
here on September 30.
As a result it was stated authorize
lively that the ban on exports to Hol-
land and other northern neutrals
would be drawn even tighter than in
the past.
The attitude of the United States
will be that she cannot afford to have
her supplies find their way into Ger
many to bolster up the strength of the
soldiers VINO shortly will be face to
face with American troops on the west
ern front.
The plea of Holland and other neu-
trails that they cannot exist without
American exports viii be disregarded
entirely unless ironclad assurances
are given that Germany will not pro-
1T in any way thereby.
Situation Serious.
1t was admitted here that the stu
alton is fraught with serious posi-
bilitles and may result in a marked
change in the relations between this
country and the Netherlands. Holland
maintains that she cannot exist with
out certain exports from Germany and
that these exports cannot be gotten
unless she gives in return large per-
centage of the fats raised in her own
country, making 1t vitality necessary
that the deficit be supplied by inn
ports from the United States.
Not only is it extremely unlikely
that further supplies of foodstuffs and
fats will be allowed to reach Holland,
but the ban will not be lifted on cat
tie feed. BY this step Holland will
be forced to slaughter a large per-
centage of her herds and supplies of
fats to Germany necessarily will fall
off.

INDIANS USE A GRABH0OK
Have Unique Outfit Which They Use
in Fishing for Salmon-Poles
Are Twenty Feet Long.

The Indians fish for salmon with
"grab-hook," a large iron hook fas-
tened to a pole by loose cord three
or four feet long. A hole at the blunt
end of the hook that slips over the
tip of the pole keeps it in place until
the fish is hooked. Then the hook is
pulled off the pole and the cord gives
the fisherman a chance to play his
fish If necessary before dragging 1t
ashore, says the Southern Workman.
The hooks are made by the black
smith, but the poles, about 20 feet in
length, the Indians make them
selves of red fir. Taking a rough
piece of dry wood of the required
length. they patiently work at it with
drawshave and knife until it is the
right size and tapering to SUIT the
workman. Then it is usually hard
ened in the Goals before putting on the
cord, which they braid themselves
If pole breaks, as often hap
pens, the broken parts are lashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
a hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians gen.
orally fish from the bank or from
platforms built over the water. They
thrust the long pole out across the
river as far as they can and let the
current. carry 1t down and into the
bank, trusting to. chance and a quick
jerk to hook the fish If they feel one

CRUSADE OPENED
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
ENTIRE NATION RECRUITING
GROUND FOR MONEY WITH
WHICH TO CARRY ON WAR.
Five Billion Dollars and Ten Million
Subscribers Is the Goal Officials
Hope to Reach During Next
Four Weeks.

Washington. - The second Liberty
Loan campaign opened October l. For
four weeks the entire nation will be
recruiting ground for money with
which to carry on the war. To obtain
So ,O00.OOO,OOO in subscriptions, the
minimum set by treasury officials Tor
the issue, a gigantic machine OF many
parts has been set in motion
with the opening Of the campaign
Fifty per cent greater than the first
Liberty loan, the present offering Is
the largest the American people ever
have been called upon to absorb.
Five billion dollars and ten million
subscribers-thati is the goal which Of
ficials hope to reach during the next
four weeks. The services of virtually
every industry of the nation have been
enlisted. Hundreds of thousands of in
dviduals, firms and corporations VIII
unite in giving all or Il part Of their
time in carrying the work forward.
Secretary McAdoo opened the cam
paign formally with speech in Cleve-
land, o., and is now on II trans-contin-
entail tour which will take him into
virtually every section of the country
and keep him on the road till October
%, the day before the subscription
books close.
More than 10000 banks working I'M
der the guidance of the twelve fed
eraI reserve banks, regional headquar-
ters for the loan, will be the treasury's
first lieutenants. The entire press OF
the country-daily newspapers, weekly
and monthly magazines, trade papers,
foreign language publications and farm
papers-which contributed so largely
to the success of the first issue, will
work for the success of the second.
Chambers of commerce, boards of
trade, manufacturers associations and
kindred organizations have pledged
their active and unstinted efforts in
the campaign. Patriotic societies by
the score have been enlisted, as well
as school children, church and school
organizations, labor unions fraternal
societies.
Boy scouts, veterans of the last cam
paign, are planning a drive for the
second loan. Women's organizations
from coast to coast have been mar
shaled under the leadership of
central women's Liberty loan commit
tee, headed by Mrs. w. G. McAdoo, and
tens of thousands of local committees
of both men and women will aio in
the chief towns and cities.
