II KILLED, 46 WOUNDED
IN AIR RAID ON LONDON
Northern Lights on Moonless Night
Guide Enemy Airmen in Attack
on City.

London, March 9.-Eleven persons
were killed and fOrty-siX others were
injured in an airplane raid on London
on Thursday night, according to the
latest police reports, says an official
announcement. 1t is feared that six
more bodies are in the ruins of houses
wrecked.
Seven or eight German airplanes
took part in the raid over England.
One of them, reaching London, dropped
bombs in the northwest and south
west districts of the city. Another
raider dropped bombs in the northern
district of London, demOliShing sever
al houses. 1t was the first time the
enemy had attempted a night raid over
London when there was no moon.
There was remarkable display of the
northern lights, and it is believed by
many that this furnished conditions
under which the air raiders could work
more effectively than under clear,
starlit sky.
The greatest damage in London was
inflicted in the northwestern section,
where four bombs demolished several
houses.

weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina. over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaratiOn of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed In the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-

SIBERIA INVASION is DEBATED
Japan Gives Consideration to U. S.
Dissent in What Entente Holds
Important Question.

Washington, March "a hint was
given in an entente quarter that the
ACCESSIBILITY of japanese Intervention
in Siberia had been taken up by the
supreme war council at Versailles.
It was said also that the entente
powers had opened discussions upon
the subject with the Russian ambas-
sailors appointed by the late provi-
SIGNAL (Kerensky) government, who
alone are recognized as the legal rep
resentatives of Russian authority.
While these discussions are pro-
ceeding elsewhere, the government
at Tokyo is understood to be giving
consideration to the views of the
United States, which take issue with
the views of the allies and Japan.
London, March 9.-Lord Robert Ce-
ell. minister of blockade, in a state
ment pointed out the seriousness of the
German menace in Siberia and urged
Japanese Intervention there.

ALLIES SUPERIOR IN WEST,
DECLARES A. BONAR LAW
German Divisions From Russ Front
Have Not Turned Scale OF
Man Power.

London, March 8.-Great Britain's
loans to her allies up to February
had totaled 91,264,OOO Andrew
BOnar Law, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, announced in the house of
commons. Loans to the dominiOns had
reached the sum of f180,O00.OOO.
Regarding the military situation, the
chancellor said:
The Germans have transferred 80
divisions from the Russian front. The
allies still have slight superiority in
men and guns on the western front,
but there is a possibility that the ap-
pearance of the Austrians there will
change this.
This we know" he went on, "that
taking into account the whole allied
front from the channel to the Adriatic,
including the Italian front, the num-
Der of men must remain in our favor"
The chancellor said that despite the
success of the central powers against
Russia, great discomfort exists in Tur-
key.
"The central powers might be able
to send a force to the SalOniki area,
which would be difficult, perhaps i'm
possible, for us adequately to meet, "
declared the chancellor. THAT is the
great danger. But the man power of
Germany is not ineXhaustible."

WARN OF SEED CORN FAMINE
State Council Of Defense Sponsor for
100000 Fund to Aid Growers
Hit by Frost.

Chicago, March S.-Facing probably
the direst calamity which ever befell
the "corn belt"-in Illinois alone one
third of the normal corn acreage may
have to be abandoned or planted in
other crOps-the state council of de-
Tense is standing sponsor for revolv-
ing fund of 100000 to be used in the
purchase, if possible, of 100000 bushels
of seed for the farmers Of this state.
To meet the critical situation, uli-
nois is taking extraordinary steps.
W. G. Eckhardt, state seed corn adj
ministratOr, held out the assuring be-
lief to corn raisers that Illinois may
meet the situation without this years
production being materially lessened
if there Is closest cooperation.
1.-The principal thing now is that
farmers shall make known at once the
quantity of seed they will need" he
said. IF that is done we will endeavor
to find it, but those who make known
their wants at the last minute prob
ably will go without it and that acre
age will be wasted"

CASUALTY LISTS
WITH NO ADDRESS
Pershing Says Information Is
Valuable to Foe
IDENTIFIES UNITS AT FRONT
CreeI Committee Says Mere Issuance
of Names Is Not Keeping Pledge
to Relatives of the
Soldiers.

Washington, March 9.-The war de-
partment has ruled that the military
casualty lists to be made public in
newspapers shall not include the emer-
gency addresses-the names and adj
dresses of relatives or friends.
The committee on public informa-
ton, of which George Creel is chair
man, has refused to put out the cas-
ualty lists through its news channels
unless they include the emergency ad-
dress.
The committee takes the ground
that a mere list of names without
means of identification is not public
information.
General March, the new chief Of
staff, who recently returned from the
front arguing for a liberalization of
the censorship, issued the order sup
pressing the emergency addresses in
the casualty lists of Thursday, the sec
ond day of his occupancy of his new
post.
Reports Of casualties continue to ar
rive at the war department and have
been offered to the committee on pub
lie information in abridged form for
dissemination through the regular
news channels. They merely give the
mems names and ranks.
When Mr.. Creel and the chiefs of
the news division learned that merely
the names were to be given out they
decided that the committee would not
publish the lists.
Discussion Is Sharp.
The matter was under discussion for
two days. Some of these discussions
were entirely uncensored. Mr.. Creel
stood firm for definite information on
the casualties, which has virtually been
pledged to the people by the president,
the secretary of war and the secretary
of the navy, and Friday night the COM
mittee on public information issued
the following note to correspondents {:
The following announcement was
made by the committee on public infor-
nation:
Thereafter the committee on public
information will not issue casualty
lists. Correspondents, editors and the
public should apply in the future di-
rectly to the war department for all
information concerning casualties"
Heed Pershing's Objections.
Inquiries of Adjutant General Nc
Cain of the army disclosed the fact

make public promptly the names of all
casualties received, nothing will be
made public concerning dates, nature
of wounds inflicted, or their home ad-
dresses in this country.
The information, it was stated, will
be withheld on recommendation OF
General Pershing.

measure-and letting the store that
much.
That is the most contemplate
practice of all, for it is of no use to
the customer. If a woman decides
that she wants two yards of silk,
two yards is what she wants-no
more and no less. And what use is
it to her to have a strip left over
two or three inches one way and
twenty or thirty the other!
We have had clerks in Blackfoot
who made practice of cutting Off
an extra strip of such lengths that
customers actually got to expecting
1t and ordering that much less. II
such customer happened to get
waited on by good clerk who cut
exactly what was ordered. then the
piqued customer would be short of
goods and in some cases the store
has been accused of giving short
measure. In any event the store
loses. The clerk who will cut the
goods crooked or cut off more than
Is ordered is not loyal to the en-
ploycr nor the customer, and ought
to be promptly reported and trained
or fired.

SAVE THE WASTE
OF SAMPLE GOODS

Persons who have been in the
habit of asking dry goods clerks to
cut off samples Of goods for them
to take along, should remember that
this is an expensive and wasteful
method. The little corner cut off
of the roll means waste of the full
width as far in as the sample
reached.
This is a loss to the merchant
and to the country. This is not much
for each person, but when many peo-
pie have the sample habit, mostly
unnecessary, the total waste is big
item. Think twice before asking for
a sample.
The same thing applies, in greater
degree, to the practice of clerks in
poorly conducted stores, of measur-
ing off what the customer asks for
and then cutting off a little more
than that, putting in some for good
