BRITISH SOLDIERS VICTIMS OF SORTlE BY AIRPLANES-MA-
 TERIAL DAMAGE DONE.

London-One hundred and seven persons were killed and S6 wounded at Chatham, it is announced officially, during an air raid
 The victims were naval ratings. Six airplanes took part in the raid. In addition to the naval casualties one civilian was killed and six were in- jured. The announcement follows:
 Lord French Commander of the British home forces) reports that the air raid was carried out by about six enemy airplanes, which proceed ed up the south bank of the Thames estuary to Chatham. Bombs were dropped in Isle of Thanet and in the Sheernes-Chatham area between 10:40 r. m. and 11:30 D. m There were no army casualties. Civilian casual ties reported at present are: Killed one, injured six. The material dam age was slight Our machines went up and anti-aircraft guns came into action, but without result The seere- tary of the admiralty reports that in the course of the air raid the fol- lowing casualties were caused to na- val ratings: Killed 107, wounded S6."
 A dispatch to the Star from Chat ham says that part of the naval bar racks there was struck by a bomb during the air raid, this causing se- rious loss of life The Chatham dock yard, the message states, entirely es- capped damage.
 Chatham is on the east bank of the Medway, 30 miles southeast of Lon don. It is the seat of immense mili- tary and naval establishments, in- cluding a vast dock yard, an arsenal and extensive barracks.
 The term naval ratings" applies to the grade of men on board ship, usually those before the mast.

 Shortly before g o'clock explosions and heavy firing could be heard in the direction of Dunkirk and Calais, and it was thought raid on a large scale was taking place along the French coast. This lasted until near ly midnight, when warnings were giv- en and shortly afterward bombs be- gan to drop.

woman anxious to assist in every possible way must be
bewildered by the conflicting suggestions '.''",
Many of these ideas advanced by people with their
heads in the clouds who do not see the immediate and
practical thing that any person do Some OF us feel
dsmayed by the wastes of distribution SYSTEM that
the plain and simple means of everyday economy appear
too trifng to interest them But distribution prob
lens are too large to be remeded offhand While new
economic systems being organized the war will be
won or lost.
i Meanwhile there is one thing that every woman can
do in simple and practical way That is to cooperate
heartily with the suggestions as to food econ
omy This obligation comes home especially to women
of wealth who keep servants. In such homes the pinch
of necessity has mpeled either mistress maid
toward economy 1t seems easier to throw foow away
than to bother to adapt it to table use.
The woman Of wealth can do more to win the war
Through work in the kitchen than by any other thing she
can attempt If she knows nothing about cooking, it is
time for her to learn She will find pleasure in
life in providing herself and her family with dishes Of
dainty and tempting quality that few hired undertakings
ever attain It will not be long before she realizes that
the home Of wealth is accustomed to waste materials
than it That makes food for all Of and
helps the enemies of of country.
The women are responding nobly to this and other
calls that such advice almost needless Hundreds
of thousands of in luxurious homes have put
their aprons rolled up their sleeves and baking and
broilng. The scarcity of servants makes it often obi
gatory All over the country rolling bandages
and knitting comfort articles They be relied upon
to do their full share.

A LOW DEATH RATE.

state 1t signed "a Taxpayer and protested against

demand more exact accounting from public serv.

The increase in taxes is due chiefly to the fact that

Dr. Irving Fisher Of Yale University estimates the
