TEN DEAD IN LONDON. AIR RA ID
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1

LONDON, oct. 2.-ln last nights air raid, ten persons were killed and thirty eight injured The statement reads:
 Lord French reports that the latest police reports state that in last nights air raid the casualties in all districts visited by the raiders killed, 10; in- jured 3S
 Firing of guns and occasional eX- plosion of bombs are becoming matter of fact occurrences with Londoners who, while needing official warnings to take cover show no signs of panic
 The people have. accomm odated themselves to the enforced alteration in their method of living and are hurry ing home at the close of the working hours to take an early dinner and pre- pare to spend the evening in the se- curity of their homes or in the greater safety afforded by the protection of the subWays, the basements and other un- derground refugees. Many carry wraps and food and make themselves as com fortable as the circumstances will per init in the corridors of the big hotels which are becoming a .-Vorite place for the residents, the walls affording pro- tection against flying glass. A large proportion of the people continue their usual work. Last night for example, the delivery carts continued on their rounds, the drivers taking cover when the bombardment became intense, only to proceed when the guns at intervals ceased firing.
 The London press is becoming strongly critical of the government. Semi official explanations that the British cannot spare machines for recip- rocal raids are questioned by the Northcliffe newspapers, the Daily Ex- press and others, which point out that the Germans are able to spare aircraft for raiding England and have enough along the battle lines to give the Brit ish a continuing fight for supremacy in the air.
 It is argued that the Germans eyi- dently haXe out-built the British in aircraft and may be expected to con- tinue building on an increasing 'seaie and improve the types of their ma chimes while the British are trying to catch up with them. Predictions that this would be the case were made months ago by some o- the newspapers and by experts like Lord Montagu of seaulieu. Lord Montagu also predicts that the Germans will soon pass the experimental stage of operations and be able to attack London in all kinds of weather, nearly every night
 Several theaters which advertised performances last night withdrew them at the last moment mainly because only a handful of people appeared. Others went through their perform ances in the presence o- a few persons but removed patrons in the galleries to the ground floor.
 Just as the guns began to roar, an ambulance train with wounded from France arrived at the London station Red Cross workers rapidly unloaded the train and carried the men to shelter as glass broken by shrapnel commenced to fall on the platform.
 Several bombs tell in the river in the southwest district while the roof of a building in which a large number of people sought cover was damaged. Nc one was injured.

That extreme nervousness over ap preaching events pervades the German front in Flanders is indicated by the infantry attacks the forces of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria daily are throwing against Field Marshal Haigs army on the Ypres salient.
 These attacks are being centered up on the apex of Haigs salient in the line which is pointing dangerously to- ward the Ostend Lille raiirUai. the ul- innate gaining of which by the Eng fish, Scotch and Australian contingents would work sad havoc to the replenish- ing with supplies of the German line to inc south from the naval bases of Os- tend and Zeebrugge.
 In storming waves of great strength the Germans have made valiant efforts tO wrest from the British positions captured from them in the recent of fensive but everywhere except at two small points, they met with decisive repulse under the hurricane of fire which swept them from guns of all cal ibGes, strewing the ground with their dead or wounded. Numerous prisoners also have been taken by the British and to a man they have eVinced gratifica- tion that they are safe from the in ferno of bursting shells which the Brit ish without cessation are pouring in upon the German holdings.
 The big guns of the Germans have not been idle during the fighting, but their strength is in no wise comparable to that of the great array of cannon that Haig has set up for the purpose of pounding the German entrenchments for wardng off attacks and for screen ing his infantrymen as they surge for ward on new exploits.
 The French and Germans are en- gagged in violent artillery duels along the Aisne front and the Nerdun sector in both of which regions General Pe- tains armies also again have been forced to withstand, and successfully vicious attacks from troops of the Ger man crown prince especially near Craonne and Beaumont and between Hill 344 and SamogneuX. Near Hill 344 the Germans entered a French position which later was recaptured in coun- ter attack.
 On the northern front in Russia. in the region south of Riga the Russians are keeping up their offensive against the GefIndnS ana nave DedleH DdCh liic enemy for a distance of one mile of the Kronenberg- Spital-Grounduli sector. Quiet still prevails on the eastern front farther south and in Galicia and Ru- mania.
 In Mesopotamia the British victory over the Turks at Ramad ie, west of Bagdad, was greater than at first re- ported. In addition to capturing the town. nearly 4,OOO Turks were made prisoner and large numbers or guns :lnd quantities of war stores were cap tured. Moreover, heavy casualties were Inflicted on the Ottomans.
 British and French airmen are con- bauing their raids atlinst German positions behind the lines and the French aviators are carrying on fur ther reprisals against German cities and towns for the bombardment of open French settlements Large quan- 1ities of explosives have been dropped by French airmen on Stuttgart, Frank fort on Main, Coblenz and Treves while in conjunction with British avi- aturs, railway stations, airdromes

that the strikers in the Clifton Morenci district would return to work October 1 as they had officially notified the managers of the operating companies through their grievance committee that they would do so. At the last moment, however, finding that all who were on strike could not be reemployed they decided that either all or none would go to work. Consequently since all could not be put back to work none were al- lowed to get to work at the mines, seV- eral hundred pickets being placed to see that this program was carried out: Practically all of the craftsmen ana other Americans presented themselves for work at the concenIrators and smel- ters but in view of the impossibillty or re-opening the mines only very small number of these could be re-employed.

 In this conversation, President Roosevelt is quoted as having said he thought the best guarantee for the amelioration of South American condi- tions would be the establishment of a German state in South Brazil.

of General Pershing was essential, because he is to command a great army of many corps, entitlng him to the highest military title, and In order to obviate embarrassment re- sulting from the high rank of the allied commanders with whom he is associated.
 That General Pershing would be promoted has been taken for granted in army circles ever since he was selected by President Wilson for ttlu supreme trust of leading America's soldiers against the Germans, though the general belief has been that lieutenant general would be the rank.
 Although the United States gov ernment always has been slow about eonferring high rank in the army. 1t is realized at the war department and in congress that Pershng prob aaly will lead the greatest fighting force America has ever put into the field

FOREST FIRES TAKE TOLL OF NOT LESS
 THAN NINE LIVES

Republican A.P. Leased Wire1
 FILLMORE, Cal, Oct. 2.-Two forest fires in the hills back of this town are believed to have caused the loss today of nine lives and to have destroyed oil derricks, pipe lines, buildings and other property to value estimated at $50O,o00.
 The flames tonight are sweeping Fillmore, although a slight change in the wind has given hope that the fighters, directed by forest rangers, may be able to check their spread.
 A dozen persons, suffering from severe burns, have been brought here.
 Forest rangers expressed the opinion that the fires were set by enemies of the government, deciar- ing they were started in inacces- sibIe regions, where neither hunters nor prospectors ever penetrate.
 The list of the missing includes Ruth Sansler, young woman; MT. and Mrs. o. E. Webb and three of their children; George Riley and Walter Matthews, all of whom were employed on or living at the Ana conda lease of the Union Oil com pany. R. A. Prindle of the Leonard gasoline plant, is also among the missing. Persons returning from the scene of the fires expressed the belief that none of the missing could have escaped.
 Shortly before midnight forest rangers end other fire fighters found the bodies of all those listed as dead with the exception of c. E. Webb, two of his children and George Riley, all of whom they then blieved to be safe. In addition to the known dead, the body of an unidentified woman was found.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Revival of the grade of full general is planned by the war department to provide suitable rank for Major Gen eral John J. Pershing, commanding the American expeditionary forces in France.
 It was learned tonight that Sec retary Baker already has submitted the departments program, which in cludes provision for the title of gen. eral to be held by the officer serv- ing as chief of staff and the making or several lieutenant generals to command corps under General Persh- ing, to the senate military committee and that legislation carrying it into effect is to be pressed for prompt passage when congress re-convenes in December.
 But four American army officers have born the title of general-Wash- ington, Grant, sherman and Sheri- dan, and only q few have been lieu tenant generals. Since General Sher- idan died in 1888 the rank of genera. has been extinct.

CLIFTON, Oct. 2.-Owing to the fact that all men on strike in the Clifton Morenci- Metcalf district were not promised employment, the strike in this district is still in force and the three operating companies are making pre- parations for a complete shutdown of the mines. This includes men employed in the several departments of the three companies operating in the Clifton Morenci- Metcalf district who have been on the payrolls since the strike first started July l. This condition followed the public announcement made Sep
 tember 22 that the companies in this district were ready and willing to re- sume operations under the terms en- tered into between the federal govern ment and the copper producers and it was pretty generally understood that the men would go to work on October l.

 WASHINGTON xct. 2.-Congress finished it's work on the great war tax bill late today when the senate, fol- lowing the example set yesterday by the house, adopted the conference re- port without roll call. More than two and half billion dollars of new taxes are levied by the measure which has been in the making since April
 As soon as the bill is engrossed and signed tomorrow by Vice President Marshall and Speaker Clark, it will be sent to President Wilson, who is ex- pected to sign it immediately.
 Senate discussion today was brief. participated in by but few members. all of whom realized futility of opposition. Most of the criticism was upon the second class postage increases.
 The speedy action on the conference report raised members hopes for ad- jOurnment of the war session by Sat urday or not later than next week. The administration sailors and sol diers' insurance bill, which has passed the house. will be brought up tomor- row in the senate. The only other measure the leaders expect to put through before adjournment is the eight billion dollar deficiency appro- priation bill.
 As finally drafted after one of the longest and most strenuous struggles in congressional history. the revenue bill, which was passed by the house May 23 and by the senate after a months debate September 10. draws principally upon incomes and war ex- cess profits As passed by the house it totalled $1,S6S. .0000 900 and the sen- ate raised it to S2,416,000,000. The conferees draft increased the total as- sessment by about s750, 900 over the house and s12S,OOO,OO0 above the senate.
 The bill how is estimated to raise about $S50,000, 900 from incomes, cor porate and individual, and about one

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The third contingent of national army men will begin moving tomorrow to the sixteen cantonments where approXlmately one half of the 6S7,O00 selected men called out by the president already have been mobilized. Quotas now ready to leave home vary greatly, ranging from IT to 40 per cent of the full state quotas, with a general av- craze of between 20 and 25 per cent.
 Modification of previous quota plans was necessary because of the condi- tions at the cantonments and the availability of equipment.
 Definite figures are lacking as to the number of selected men to be trans ferred to the national guard, aviation service medical corps or other branches of the army that will have to be filled up to war strength. It is cer- tain, however, that the men remaining at the camps will not be sufficient to

 Decision of the war department on the suggestion that the remaining seven million registered men be ex- amined immediately and classified for service in order that they may have knowledge of when to expect a call to the colors and arrange their affairs accordingly. awaits action of congress on the war deficiency bill. r
 Secretary Baker said today that of some 35 governors who had been asked if they believed it wise and expedient to proceed with the examination of all registered men, only two had opposed the plan. Those two did so on the ground that it would make too great & demand on the time of the examining boards. virtually all the members of which are serving without pay.
