Police Prepare
For Air Raids
Over New York
Authorities, Convinced Of
Their Possibility, Plan
First Aid

Enemy air raids over New York are
entirely possible, in the. opinion Of
Henry Woodhouse, Of the Aero Club
of America. and other experts on air.
craft. SO convinced are the authori-
ties here, it was learned yesterday,
that Germany will attempt such raids
for their sensational effect, that an
organization is being formed. under
police supervision, for picking up those
wounded by aerial bombs.
"We believe it quite possible for
aeroplanes to be launched from the
deck of submarines said Mr.. Wood
house last night. "U-boats have been
in European waters. The only him
drance in bombing New York, for ex-
ample, would be the distance to be
travelled by the U-boats. If the Ger
man submarines can reach here-and
they have demonstrated they can
they can launch their hydroplanes
at us.
"And Germany, believe, will try it.
She will do it, in the first place, with
country. Then she is so clever, she can
see the utility of such raid in making
sensational news screamers, to be hand
ed out to cheer up the German people
and spur them on in the war"
The new organization will be tried
out in day or so in the 9th Precinct
of the I'd Inspection District, under the
direction of Borough Police Inspector
William O'Brien. Similar organizations
are to be formed in each precinct of
the city.
Besides members of the Police De
partment, the organization comprises
physicians, surgeons, nurses and help
ers designated by the Health Commits
sioner. Each police station is head
quarters for the precinct unit, and
there are to be stored stretchers and
all necessary medical and surgical
supplies. Temporary dressing rooms
are to be fixed up in. each station
from which the wounded are to be sent
to designated hospital.
When an air raid comes, according
to the plans already worked out, GER
tain manufacturing plants will blow a
designated signal, as an alarm to the
relief workers. These workers will be
cardindexed, and will be called by
telephone from the station, if they dc
not respond promptly to the siren
alarm. All ambulances, and the owners
of motors and trucks available for the
volunteer work, will also be listed for
hurry calls.
This temporary organization is the
result Of suggestion made to Police
Commissioner Enright by Captain A
Wells Ingram, British Officer attached
as lecturer to the American Red Cross
at present. Captain Ingram has been
in thirty air raids in London, Paris and
Belgrade.

MOSCOW. Saturday, March 1G--
President Wilson's message to the Rus
sian people is very significant and is
limited recognition of the Soviet gov
eminent, in the opinion of the non
Socialist and Conservative newspaper
"Ranneyc Outro" The message shows
the determination of the United States
not to interfere in Russian internal af-
fairs, adds the newspaper, which con-
tinues:
"In these grave days there is great
moral support in the firm intention of
the powerful transatlantic republic to
secure for Russia complete sovereignty
and independence in her own affairs.

to be capitalstc by the Bolsheviki,

Wilson's message as "a document of
tho greatest political Importance" and
adds:
"'To understand correctly its value is
essential to our cause and to the in
terest Of the great Russian revolution. "
The editorial declares that, although
the United States is an impcrialistic
government, struggling for the Russian
market, it is far less of menace than
Germany or Japan, which are nearer

Roosevelt Says
All Bolsheviki
Have Same Brand
Leaders Here and Abroad
Playing Germany's
Game

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 19.-ln
an editorial entitled "Belsheviki at
Home and Abroad" to be published by
"The Kansas City Star tomorrow,
Theodore Roosevelt says:
"Thc answer OF the Bolsheviki to the
Presidents message was an example OF
mean and studied impertinence. There
was no gratitude, no apology for their
betrayal of America and of the cause
of liberty. and no expression of hostil-
ity to their German masters, but there
was a gratuitous and insulting express
sion for class war in America,
against what the Bolsheviki with igno,
rant folly speak of as capitalism. A
couple of days afterward the Bolsheviki
authorities definitely concluded with
Germany their peace of ignonliny and
treachery.
I'VE have had many evil capitalists
in the United States. but, on the whole,
the worst capitalists could not do the
permanent damage to the farmers and
workingmen in America which these
foreign and native Bolsheviki would do
if they had the power.
"Our people should keep steadily in
mind that the Russian Bolsheviki have
not attacked the big Russian capital
lists who were in alliance with the au-
tocracy Of the Romanotfs, and they
have been the tools, paid or unpaid, of
the German militarists and capitalists.
They have spent their energies in at
tackinE the revolutionists who over
threw the Romanotfs and in pcrsecut-
ing the peasants who have become
small farmers, and the workingmen,
who are skilled mechanics, and the
small shopkeepers.
"They hate and envy those thrifty
and prospecting workers who in this
country make up the great majority
of our people and who are our most
typical and characteristic Americans,
"'The Bolshevlki have concluded a
peace with Germany which includes
words plunging back into brutal saw
agery, district in Asia in which there
are multitudes Of Armcnians and other
Chri stiana
"Our government has been dcrelct
in its duty to the Armenians, to the
Christians Of Syria and to the Jews OF
Palestine, by its failure to declare war
on Turkey. 1t is a grave error to
coddle with Bolsheviki and support
them in any way against our allies
unless we are also willing fearlessly to
condemn their betrayal Of us and of
the Allied cause, and unless we are
ready to war to the end against both
Germany and Turkey in order to res
