Employees of the American Seeding
Machine Company have subscribed for
third Liberty loan bonds in the sum
of $2s,sOO
This announcement was made Satur-
day to the Liberty loan committee by
officials of the company who were
Justly proud of the voluntary action
taken by the employees, who will pay
for their bonds in weekly snstallments.
The project is financed by the com
pany which buys the bonds and deliv-
ers them to the employes as they are
paid out
Several other Richmond concerns
are to make similar reports to the COM
mittee, it being known that the EN-
ployes of these plants are making up
their subscriptions. The report from
the American Seeding Machine Com
pany, however, was the first to reach
the committee.
One of the gratifying results OF the
third Liberty loan campaign in Rich
mond, has been the almost general
response Of the men and women of
moderate means and the wage earners.
No more patriotic tribute could be paid
to these men and women who are
turning over to their government in its
time of peril, the savings of months or
years than the words of member OF
the State committee at Indianapolis,
who, when informed by the Wayne

IN Paris Air Raid
fBy Associated Press)


PARIS, April 13.-Twenty-four per-
sons were killed and 62 others wound
ed as the result of the air raid last
night on Paris it was officially an
nounced today.
Most OF the bombs dropped during
last nights air raid fell in one spot,
striking a house. It was evident the
raiders found their work much more
difficult under the new system OF
aerial defenses, and dropped their
bombs hastily. II
1t was a still, dark night of the sort
most favorable for an aerial attack
and a raid was generally expected
The theatres were in the midst OF
their performances when the sounding
of the sirens and the noise Of anti
aircraft guns gave warning that the
raiders were approaching.
The crowds from the theatres made
their way to the cellars or to other
shelters near by, arrangements fol
which had been made in advance. In
the cellar of the Comedie Francaise
one of the performers sang old French
songs.
AS on .he occasion Of previous raids
ambulances Of the American Red
Cross were fihst on the scene.

IRISH DRAFT
PASSES HOUSE
OF COMMONS
BY VOTES
Warm Debate by Irish Ma
tionalists on Bill that Would
Extend Conscription to
Ireland.
APPEAL TO WILSON
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April IA proposal by
Irish nationalists to omit the conscrip-
ton of Ireland clause from the gov
ernment man power bill was rejected
by a majority OF 172 In the house OF
commons last night. The total vote
shows that a large section Of the
house abstained from voting.
The debate in the house yesterday
and last night was remarkable for the
speech of H. H. AsQuith, the former
premier, who, while strongly object
ing to the CONSUMPTION of Ireland,
frankly declined to take the respon-
sibility at the moment the nation is
facing a grave military crisis OF push
ing that opposition to the extent OF
forcing a change in the government.
Henry E. Duke, chief secretary for
ireland, made brave attempt to con-
ciliate the Irish members. The effort
led to strong alteration with the
nationa!ists at the close OF the debate.
Has Moral Right.
The government spokesman In the
house, Andrew Bonar Law, in a
brief speech winding up the discus
sion, coutended that the government
had a moral right in what they were
doing and you'd be craven not to dc
it.
1--WE could not tell America she had
the right to- conscript Irishmen in the
United States while we had not the
same righ. at home" he said. 1--WE
intend at the earliest moment to in
, troduce a bill which we hope will give
/ m oy1f
to Ireland
This statement brought a fresh up
roar and laughter from the Irish mem
bers Mr. Bonar Law went on:
1--WE shall try to carry 1t through
! simultaneously with preparations fol
| carrying out the man power bill, thai
|! is all ca1 say"
| His speech was interrupted con
! stantly by ironical remarks from thu
Irish benches. The Irish members a

ment to a further division on the con
/ scription clause.

/ William Adamson, on behalf of th'
