FLIERS OVER LONDON
SAW so SEARCHLIGHTS

Amsterdam, Via London, March 49,
A telegram received here today from
Berlin says it has been learned from
an authoritative source that the air
ships. which visited England on Friday
night observed no less than so to 60
searchlghts within the London area.
BY the aid of these the airships We're
bombarded severely, but without ef-
feet. British airmen also took part in
the attacks, the kilograms add, but did
not approach close to the arships. The
men in the Zeppelin crew could see
the hostile airplanes distinctly. Al
though the lights in London were
darkened, they We're able to observe
the city clearly.
During the journey back a storm
arose. The airships were sought for
vainly by scarchlights of the Thames
defenses and British outposts.

HINT OF RADICALISM
COMES FROM RUSSIA

Washington. March 19.-Official
news of the abdication of Car Mich =
olas of Russia for himself and his son
and indications that the workingmen' S
committee was opposing monarchy of
any sort and demanding social re-
public. were reported to the state de-
partment today in cablegram from
Ambassador Francis, dated March II.
Officials We're deeply interested in
the reference to the workingmen's de-
mands. because danger to Russia's
further efforts in the war has been
felt to lie as much in extreme radical
ism as in counter revolution by the
court party. Later unofficial dis
patches have indicated that a compro-
mise has been reached between the
duma and the workingmea.

Pullman Mushrooms are the only
places there are where it is possible
to brush your teeth and comb your
hair at The same time you are pulling
on Your shoes. In the confusion Of
hastily dressing in a crowded Pullman
washroom one very often finds that he
has spent five minutes lathering some
one else's beard. Then again, it is
startling to discover that you seem
to have grown bald over night. And to
have the fat man whose head you were
brushing dig the soap out of your ear
with no gentle thumb. A Pullman
washroom is excellent in many ways
and if you hold a grudge against a
man persuade HON to dress and wash
with you in the same Pullman wash
room. You will find it easy to batter
and bruise him horribly, though you
may have to take an awful beating
yourself. Never cross your legs while
seated in a Pullman Mushroom. You
may kick someone in the face.
