 LONDON, Jan. -Official-Three persons were killed and ten wound. ed in outlying sections of this city during an unsuccessful attempt to raid the city made by German air. planes last night. Fifteen enemy planes were engaged in the attempt, and many aerial duels took place during the five hours of fighting.
 The raiders swept across the east ern English counties and dropped many bombs over both Kent and Essex. Only two of the Hun ma chimes reached even the outskirts of the city, and these were unable to penetrate the aerial defenses. The other thirteen machines were held back and finally driven off by British airmen.
 One of the enemy raiders dropped bombs in the southeastern outskirts of London, while the other lowered over the northeastern district and launched its missiles. The raiders did not attempt to destroy any mili- tary objectives. It was a murder raid, pure and simple. They tried to reach a crowded district, but were held back by the fire of the anti aircraft guns. Most of the casualties are among women and children.

 PROBE CHARGES
{ Associated PresS)

(ASSociated PreSSD
 MEXICO CITY, Jan. 30.-The Ger man propaganda has reached such an alarming state in Mexico that the government has at last been forced to take official notice of it.. The pro-German sentiment has been growing in several parts of the coun- try at an alarming rate lately, and the Mexican authorities are deter. mined to trace the propaganda to it's source.
 A legislative committee today di- rected the attorney general of MeXi- co to investigate serious charges that Heinrich von Eckhardt, the Ger man minister to this country. is re- sponsible for the alleged corruption of the Mexican chamber of deputies.
 It is reported that a large sum of money has been expended by von Eckhardt to bribe members of the chamber of deputies to pass legisla- tion which will have a tendency to embarrass the allied countries. The Mexican government is Investigating the charges and will punish any members found guilty of accepting bribes from the German minister.
 There is strong probability that the German government will be ask ed to disavow the actions of its rep resentative if the charges are prov en, and also requested to recall him.

FREIGHT RATES
 ARE INCREASED
 BY COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.- A radical increase in transcontinent- al freight rates has been allowed by the interstate commerce commission as result of the recent hearings of that body. These freight rates affect the inter-mountain cities as well as cities along the Pacific coast.
 A fifteen per cent advance has been authorized on all railway com modity rates from eastern points to Pacific coast terminal points. The commission also places the inter- mountain points, such as Spokane, Wash, Denver, Colo, and similarly situated cities on a par with the coast cities.
 The action of the commission is taken on account of the removal of water competition through the seizure by the government of com mercial carriers operating between the Atlantic and Pacific coast points by way of the Panama canal. The new rates will probably remain in effect until the end of the war or until water competition is again re- stored to equalize the rates.

LARGE PART OF
 EAST IS AGAIN
 FACING FAMINE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.-' Unless there is great change in weather conditions shortly, another fuel famine is inevitable in the east ern district of the United States. The national fuel administration an nounced tonight that large sections of the east are again facing seri- ous coal shortage which may result in a famine in the next few days.
 This condition has been brought about by the unusual snowfall and much ice hampering transportation to an unprecedented extent on many lines. Much transportation has been delayed and the congestion of lines is serious. The partial freight en- bargo has not cleared the situation as much as it was expected
 The railway officials declare that with seasonable weather coal can be moved in sufficiently large quan- titles to supply all needs and keep all factories running, but under pres ent conditions this is we'll nigh im- possible.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 3O.-The Fin nish revolutionists are now in con- plete control of Helsingfors, the cap ital of Finland, and have taken over the government. They have orga- nized provisional government un- der the presidency of Kulle Wero- man. Dispatches received here state that there is no disorder in Helsing- fors and that conditions are rapidly approaching normal.
 The revolt was carried out suc- cessfully in Helsingfors with the as- sistance of the Russian soldiers there and the Russian fleet. which dropped anchor off the city and rendered the forts powerless. Achievements have also been dispatched from Pet rograd by the Bolsheviki to assist in the revolt.
 Fighting still continues in other sections of the country, with neither side being able to gain a decisive advantage. From all indications, the revolt will probably be successful in all sections.
