CARMEN DEMAND 8'HOUR DAY
GOEBEN
Hit BY
BOMBS

Omitted I.rcss Leased wire.i
LONDON, July 1t.-Direc
hits on the Turkish-German
cruiser Goeben were made i'm
an aerial attack against the
Turco-German fleet In the
Golden Horn, according Ia an
admiralty announcement to-
day.
The attacking squadron OF
aeroplanes suffered no losses.
Direct hits were observed
against other ships, and big en-
blossoms resulted, the admiralty
continued.
The enemy was completely
surprised" the statement said.
Our attack was from height of
500 feet
The Golden Horn is a narrow in
let of the Bosphorus separating
the main part of Constantinople
from Galata and Pera. The air
raid thus must have brought the
British naval flyers over the city
of Constantinople itself.
The admiralty statement does
not mention from what point the
British flyers started their raid,
but was probably from some Brit
ish war vessel anchored in the
Aegean sea.
The seaplanes must, there
fore, have travelled at least
800 miles In the air over the
Dartlanelles and the Sea of
MarmOsa to have accom-
plished their feat-150 miles
in each direction.
The cruiser Goeben figured
largely in the news early in the
war. She was in the Mediterran-
can when war was declared and
after escaping from an Italian
port, was reported to have been
sold to Turkey by Germany.
On Sept. Z, 1914, however, the
Goeben was in an engagement N
the Mediterranean flying the Ger
man colors.
A month later when 1t was re-
ported she had been very gravely
damaged, in this fight, she was
sold to Turkey and her name
changed to the Sultan Jawul Sc
lin. She has been in port ever
since.

 was prowling around the house. The call was answered by Officers Taylor and Reilly, but before the officers reached
 the scene the negro was dead His body was found about one block from the Antwine home.

Plenty of Food for All

Thomas F. Logan, in Leslies.
 If Europe doesn't quit raising food al together the American farmer will pro- duce enough to supply home needs and have margin left over to meet the de- ficiency in foreign markets. Secretary Houston finds that in many articles the increase in production has kept pace with the increase in population. In meats and dairy products there has been a falling off in recent years Poultry and eggs show greater production per capita in 1915 than in the two earlier years of 1909 and 1899 for which the department tai figures are given. During these years cereals and Irish potatoes have fluctuated in per capita yields, but not greatly, while sweet potatoes, sugar and all kinds of fruits were produced in considerably larger quantities per human unit in 1915 than in either of the other two years. Unofficial figures for earlier periods ex- tending back to 1866 substantiate the Secretarys general statement. Taking the 50-year period under consideration,

PAPER MAKERS ID
 BE PROSECUTED BY
 FEDERAL OFFICIALS
Announcement Made That Enough Evidence Is Se- cured to Warrant Gov
 ernment Action

Washington, February 1O.-Federal in- vestigation of the news print paper situa- ton has uncovered enough evidence. it was made known today, to warrant the department of justice asking indictments of paper manufacturers for alleged anti trust law violations. Already, it was learned, federal grand jury in New York is taking testimony, to determine if there has been a criminal conspiracy in re- straint of trade. Bainbridge Colby and Mark Hyman, have been retained as spe- cial assistants to the Attorney General te aid in the inquiry.
 The federal trade commission, which has furnished much of the information on which the department of justice IS acting, announced today that Francis J.. Heney of California had been engaged as a special attorney in the commits sion's inquiry into high news print prices, and that under his direction the commits sion would continue it's investigation aft CT a preliminary report is made to Con- gress early next week. Additional data will be supplied to the department of justice as fast as it is obtained.
 The report to Congress, which was to have been made Monday, probably will be delayed for some days by illness of one of the commissioners. It will be in the nature of an interim report, and will cover the efforts of the commission to find a solution for an apparent newsprint shortage and relief for publishers from almost prohibitive prices that have ob- tained for about year.
 The trade commission, it is understood, will report that it has found that in creases in newsprint prices within the year are from four to 20 times the advance in production costs. It will say there never has been an actual newsprint shortage, and that manufacturers have helped create a panic among publishers by intimating there was one

SOUTH CAROL|N|ANS
 WANT FERTILIZER UNIT NITRATE PLANT
Delegation From State Urge Columbia as Superior Lo- cation for Part of
 Great Industry
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, February 1O-(Special) Believing that the government will con- struct three, instead of one nitrate plant, Governor Manning and committee of prominent citizens of South Carolina, inn plored the President today to give tc Columbia that unit for the manufacture of fertilizer. Alabamians interested in Muscle Shoals do not believe there will be more than one plant constructed.
 Columbia advantages as a site for at least one of the three proposed nitrate plant units, were set forth in brief filed today with Secretary Baker.
 '"The urgent need for nitric acid that would arise immediately upon a declara- tion of war; the petition stated, makes it imperative that the power for a nitrate plant be available as soon as possible. While Columbia is seeking primarily the agricultural unit. this could be used for other purposes in case of stress, and it's developed power could be had at once"
 The argument that Columbia is too near the coast for security in time of war, was met by the statement that improvements upon airpianes have made distance neg ligible factor

IF WAR COMES, WHAT WILL
 BE EFFECT ON BUSINESS?
Manufacturers Make Such Enormous Profits Uncle Sams Business They Have Been Making On

made by some of the intuition manu- lecturers to the allies. AS soon as enormous profits are shown in the manufacture of war supplies for this country one of two things will cer- tainly happen: either the government will commander such plants, or else, as has been the case in Germany and
 France and England, excess profits will be taxed by the government any where from 25 to 75 per cent.
 A great mistake will be matte to assume that war with Germany will bring about a repetition of the conditions existing at the outbreak of the Spanish war. At that time this country had just gone through five years of the most severe liquidation in it's history. The cost of living, both to the manufacturer and the individual, was at rock bottom owing to long enforced economies of the most dras- tic character. After the outbreak of the war, April 9, loyo, there was a period of great trade activity that resulted in the bull market in stocks which con- tinued up to the Northern Pacific corner of May 9, 1901 But every manufacturer and business man knows that the cost conditions existing in April of 1898 were very different from those of today.
 This country is almost certain to have a secondary period of great trade activity, which will exceed that beginning fate in 1914 and early in 1915. However, the best business minds in Wall street do not expect the boom to come until after the war has ended and the cost of living to the manufacturer and individual has been lowered to a peace basis, so that Europe can afford to buy here her sadly needed raw and finished supplies. AS to our part in the great European war, if the worst comes to the worst, in the most conserva- tive banking quarters in Wall street the belief was expressed this week that we will only take part such as that play cd by Japan, and that the war orders to be placed by our government will not equal those in volume or profit placed by the allies during the past two years.

The first report of the defeat of the Carranza garrison at Guzman, 76 miles south of Juarez. was received in Fl Paso through Villa sources and was confirmed by officials of the Carranza garrison here late today. The strength of the Guzman garrison is estimated at from 45 to 55 and it was admitted here unofficially that all but six sol diers had been killed or wounded.
 Reinforcements were asked from the local garrison but no train has been sent out late tonight The distribu- tion of Villa proclamation warning foreigners and nationals from travel ing on the passenger trains between Juarez and Chihuahua City caused much excitement here today
 The burning of 25 bridges near Bar reat, 40 miles south of here by Villa followers under Salazar, caused a sus- pension of all train service to Casas Grandes and a strengthening of the Carranza outposts around the town.

Tomorrow very probably you will find him a prosperous citizen again, very earnestly devoting himself to some strange, until recently un- dreamed-of, business, giving orders or taking them. even now perhaps bit discordant against his new setting, and, except for one or two well-hidden scars, none the worse for his translation. Who shall find the patience to follow him in his tortuous career?
 What is surely most amazing is that he should have started out at all. Consid- ering the bangs of separation and the risks that warn and threaten him and be- set his path, why, you might ask, should he want to emigrate? Is it the dream of riches? Yes, in part And the hope of freedom? Without a doubt, But these are general motives and remote. The far-fung clarion call. of American lib- erty and her promise of equal opportun- ty are the powerful lodestones that draw all immigrants alike There are more particulars motives than these to spur him on Even freedom and economic in- dependence have a varying meaning to individual aliens. Station in life and na- tionality, and age, all play their part in composing his mental picture of America. And, as in war, so also in emigration, there are always immediate causes as well as remote and general ones.

Why the Immigrant Immigrates

M. E. Ravage in Harpers Magazine.
 Even an imaginative American, I sup pose, must find it very hard to form anything like just idea of the tremen- dous adventure involved In the act of immigration.

For more than half an hour it was impossIo;e to throw any water on the fire because of frozen water plugs.
