SIXTEEN GERMAN PLANES
RAIN BOMBS ON ENGLAND

London June 6.-Sixteen Ger
man airplanes came over the North
sea last evening and dropped many
bombs on the small towns and VIII
lagos in Essex and Kent. Only four
teen of them returned to their
home base, for two were brought
down by British guns. Only two per-
sons were killed and twenty mine in
jured in the bombarded districts.
The raiders met with a lively re-
ception, extra precautions having
been taken by the British authori-
ties after the recent very serious
raid on the southeast coast of Eng
land, in which $50 persons were
killed or wounded The Germans
were attacked by British ayiators
before they had an opportunity to
carry out their raiding intentions to
any great extent, and the British
aircraft were very effective.

HAIL AND STORM AT EsKRIDGE

Topeka. June 6.-At widely sep
arated points in Missouri and Kan
sas, tornadoes struck again yester-
day with vicious fury, At least sew
en- persons were killed, and if the
storms toll is not greater it is due
to the fact that they swept over
open country. The little village OF
Elmont, north of Topeka, was al
most entirely destroyed, and one
man was reported killed there. TWO
others were slain as the storm swept
across the farming section along the.
Kaw river west of Topeka. A negro
bow was killed near Lawrence.
East Of Richmond, Mo-, two Wo-
men and a baby were victims OF a
tornado that struck down their
home. Three negroes, working near
by, are expected to die as a result
of injuries. Wires are down in all
directions in the storm areas and
it is difficult to obtain definite in
formation in regard to the damage
done, although it probably will reach
a high figure. Hail accompanied the
wind and rain and added greatly |
to the damage to buildings and
crops.
In Kansas the worst of the storms
extended from Eskridge to the
northern edge of Shawnee county, a
distance of forty miles. 1t may be
that the damage reported in Lea
venworth county was caused by the
same storm. From Pratt, in the
southwestern part of the state, and
Olathe. near the eastern line, come
reports of persons injured and much
damage by wind and hail.

ANOTHER MAN GOES TO WAR

Last Friday Brookings lost another
of her promising young men, when
Ward B. Spatz, left for a visit at his
PARENTS home in Fairfield, Nebr,, be-
fore reporting for training in the sec
ond officers camp at Fort Smelling.
Ward came here with Geo. w. Cobel
at the time of the change in the First
National Bank. He is a college mar
of fine education, and that coupled
with his courteous and good
business ability made him n of the
assets of that bank. The first OF he
wear he was made one of the assist
ant cashiers and has always been
one of the most pleasant OF the OIL
Gals that make that bank a %favorite.
He made many warm friends in the
city, especially on account OF his mu-
steal talents, being a fine violinlst,
and his going robs us Of one Of the
most promising of the younger gener'
alton Of business men.
He is qualified in every way to
make an ideal officer, and we feel
confident that Ward Spatz will do
everything that is given him to do in
the most w~orkmanlike and painstak-
ing manner

ARMY SISTERS OF CHEER

The Register is receiving quite a
number of the coupons published in
last weeks paper, properly signed,
with the stamped envelope enclosed.
We will need lots more than what
have been received, as the local com
pany numbers one hundred and fifty
men. II is the idea Of this society to
have each soldier supplied with a
correspondence sister, who will write
him an occasional letter and send him
magazines, and other things to make
him happy in camp and trench. The
boys will be going sOon and we want
to have enough names to go around
and supply them all with a cores
pendent.
One of the young wOman's organi-
cations in the city will have the
handling of the arrangements and we
IAN assure you that this patriotic
duty will be one that will fill a real
need. We quoted one officer Of the
National Guard last week as to the
benefit of this movement. This week
we can quote another. He says,
When a man is far from home, doing
new and unusual work, getting tired
as a horse every day. having many
moments of depression, then Is the
time when a pleasant word from the
old town, and the old scenes will re-
vive him and give him new heart"
Here is a glorious opportunity. Let
us hear from more young women right
away. The coupons are coming in,
but not fast enough to fill the demand

PUPIL OF HARVEY DUNN

Hubert Mathews. who went a few
weeks ago to New York. to enter the
Art Students League. has fallen into
pleasant lines in the east. soon af-
ter his arrival he called on Harvey
J. Dunn. the celebrated illustrator.
who was in 1902 a student at State
College. The Dunn family then lived
at Manchester, and II. j. spent one
year here in college. He is now one
of the most successful illustrators in
the east and has been on the Satur.
day Evening Post staff for some time.
Mr.. Dunn remembered Prof. II b.
Mathews. father of Hubert, and spoke
of the kindly way in which the pro
fessor used him while a student. He
took an interest in Hubert's ambition
in art and after his visit, offered 20
take him under his instruction and
give him the full benefit OF his know!-
edge and experience. Hubert gladly
accepted the opportunity and has
agreed to work under Mr.. Dunn, doing
nothing but what he approves and
suggests. He is the only pupil that
Dunn has taken and he will have the
full attention of this master of illus
tration in studying this branch of art.
Hubert has moved to Leonia, New
IorGnu uhnra tho DunnG live and
has quarters and studio in close
proximity 10 his instructor. Mr.. Dunn
has given him encouragement in his
work and insists that he start u
with the intention of staying a year
at steady work, without vacation or
coming home.
This opportunity offered Hubert
Mathews is one that can only come
once in the life Of any one. to start
the study of a life work under the
personal supervision of one OF the
masters of art In America. He is sur
rounded by the right atmosphere, as
sociates with the right kind OF people,
and has for his environment the prop
or setting to bring out the very best
that Is in him. He has the advant-
age of starting without any precon-
ceived notions formed at art schools,
he is entirely in the rough as an ar
fist, and with this supreme advantage
Hubert Mathews should turn out 10
be a man of whom Bookings VIII be
proud. And we believe he will.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM WALTER REEVES
A Letter From One of the Boys Who
Are Being Instructed for the
Aviation Corps.

From a letter from Dr.. Ben Alton 20
his sister, Miss Beulah Alton, we take
the following items of information,
which will prove interesting to US
here at home:
Somewhere in Belgium, July 23rd,
1917.-Dear Sister: Two days ago
tour operating teams left 30 general
hospital for this place which is a
(deleted) mile trip and up near the
(deleted) fighting front. We are at a
c. c. S. which means a casualty clear
ing station. We left % at 6 p. m Sat
urday and had a very dirty trip moss
of the way as there are so many am
balances and other motor convey
ances travelling on the roads of France
and Belgium. However, we travelled
touched by devastations Of war. We
have four operating teams. A team
consists Of a surgeon, an anesthetist,
a nurse and an orderly. We work in
four hour shifts, twelve hours at a
time, at present | am on the night
shift. Last night | began operating
at eight O'Clock and finished at five
this a. M, so most Of the day has
been spent in sleep. There are five
teams operating day and night so we
turn off a large number in twenty
four hours.
This place is in a rather pictur-
esQue spot, but very noisy. due to the
heavy gun firing, one must get &C
customed to it as one does to roaring
railroad trains. The air is filled with
planes and observation balloons. We
see air raids continually while oper-
ating. Last evening there was an air
attack directly above he theater.
Two of us sleep in a bell tent, but we
manage. The food is not at all bad.
Our chief is along (Col. Cabot and
we brought along our own operating
nurses, so that the company is quite
congenial. We have our steel he'll
NETS with us and we have two respir-
atOrs to wear in case Of ga and
smoke attacks. You would enjoy
hearing the bombardments, they are
continuous day and night. The rail
roads are working owe time, bring
ing up ammunition and troops. The
roads are lined with motor wagons
bringing up troops and provisions.
Yesterday | watched the Smelling Of
a Belgian town. The huge shells
would screech through the air and
then we could see the explosion and
then the report. Very fascinating.
am well and quite safe. do not worry.
Send your letters to % General as
usual, as l will return there in the
course of six weeks.
With love to all.
Another letter to Miss Gladys
butcher, contains the following not
found in the letter to Miss Alton:
"You would enjoy the country and
| believe this particular n~eighborhood,
as the bombardment Is terrific. The
air is filled with observation balloons
and air craft. Hundreds of air craft
are in the air constantly and the
raids and fights are fascinating. The
night commandments are pretty as the
flashes are steady and the star shells
are very pretty"

The local exemption board have al
most concluded their labors on the
job of certifying men 10 the district
board as fit for service. One hundred
and ten men have already passed this
board and there are -four whose ex-
aminations were held in other states
that have not been heard from.
Forty-fve men out of two hundred
and ten failed to pass the physical
empted by the local board for causes
that We're within their jurisdiction.
Eight men had already enlisted in
some branch Of the service, and one
is in doubt, waiting for further infor-
nation as to where he has gone. Two
men have failed to report for exam
nation, having left the county before
the call. One of these is known to
be physically exempt, having a Grip

soldiers of other countries on the
firing line cannot go home; there is
no home to go to! They go to Paris.
Many of them do not return from
Paris as efficient soldiers as they
were when they went there. Our
American soldiers must have home
in France, somewhere to rest, some
where to find a friendly atmosphere,
somewhere to go for regeneration
and wholesome amusement. These
men will be returning to this country
some day. We want to make it GER
tain that as many as possible return
