NOW BUSY WITH DEFENSE.
eoche Raidins Parties Absent From
London For Four, Months.

CORRESPONDENCE Of Associated Press.J
London, Sept. 30.-For four months
London has enjoyed immunity from
hostile air raids and moonlight nights
are no longer dreaded by it's inhabft :
ants For many weeks German airrncn
have had far more urgent business to
attend to on the other side Of the chan
mel. Much Of this is due to the per-
sistent raiding Of Rhine towns and the
bombing Of German aerodromes. These
attacks compel the enemy to muster
for their defense machines which they
can very i'll spare from the battlefelds
where/allied supremacy in the air be-
comes increasingly manifest.
The frequent raids on German
towns have been fully recorded but the
frequency Of attacks on German aero
dromes have received much less at
tention. From information obtained
from the war ministry 1t is learned
that in the month Of August alone
there were thirty three attacks On
German aerodromes, nineteen Of which
were directed against two Of them
which had become : particularly OBJ
noxious rs hives Of aerial wasps.
! In one daylight raid on an aero
drome a fierce combat lasted over for
ty minutes as a result of which four
German machines we're destroyed and
three others driven down "out OF con-
troll" Two British machines were lost.
Many Of the night raids have been
very effective. Over one aerodrome
five tons Of bombs were dropped seven
direct hits on hangers were made and
a fire was started, On another raid
eight tons of bombs were dropped and
several hangers completely burned out
and the aerdrome covered with large
holes which eTectually spoiled it for
landing purposes.
The effect of these attacks Is to
cripple the efficacy OF the Germans
aggressive work and their power OF
retaliation and demoralize their per-
sonnet. Their recuperative powers are
now at low ebb.

Will the German Empire Dissolve?

The German empire that we know
today literally was forged by Bis
marck upon the anvil OF war. says the
MINNEAPOLIS Journal. Force has been
COMPRISING it into n unity these last
forty odd years. But despite the
solidarity displayed In this war. Ger
man unity Is rather more physical
amalgam than a chemical compound.
Across Germany run two deep lines
of division tina: will never be effaced.
North German is intensely protestant.
south and west Germany. Austria
likewise, are Catholic. The north
Germans are Baltic race, much
mixed with Slavic blood whereas the
South Germans are OF the Alpine race.
So called mixed somewhat with Celts
and Latins. The religious differences
occasioned the thirty years war, which
IMPOVERISHED Germany for nearly two
centuries. The racial difference, when
mas been also cultural. kept Germany
fragmentary until Bismarck used the
hammer.
The makers Of this war have been
Prussans. HindenburS is Junker.
Ludendorf is more a Slav in blood
than a Teuton. The inspiration and
conduct OF the war has been Prussias.
It Is north German war.
True. Bavaria, inspired by emula-
ton, has showl herself small pattern
OF Prussia. The Bavarian divisions
have not been surpassed in cruelty
and crime, and the Crown Prince
Rupprecht has initiated the Prussian
model faithfully. Nevertheless, the
age old antagonism between Bavarian
and Prussian has flashed at times,
and today is reported to be blazing.
The House Of Hohenzollern has
overawed the House OF Wittelsbach as
it had that of the Hapsburgs. But in
this hour the German princes, mostly
south Germans. are asserting them
selves against the Emperor. That
article OF Bismarcks constitution
which vests the cmperorship in the
person Of the king OF Prussia, can be
abrogated as we'll as any other article.
To have the Emperor elected by the
German princes would be but a re-
version to the practice OF the old en-
pire. So that to depose the Hohen-
zollerns and 10 have as kaiser n king
Of Saxony or Wurtenburg, or grand
duke of Hesse or Baden, would con-

Slovcnes, and Serbs, which are either
to be united with Serbia or erected
into an independent state.
Some extreme Jugo- Slav advocates
have reproached Italy for not re'in-
auishing the rights she has acquired
by becoming signatory to the treaty OF
London: but Italy hesitates to abandon
any protection that instrument gives
her while similar rights and protection
are maintained by Great Britain and
France.
Italians Enter Agreement.
Progress toward the negotiation OF a
modus yiyendi between Italy and the
Jugo- Slav COMMITTEES m London has,
however, been made. Representatives
of the Italian people and the Jugo-
Slavs have agreed the territorial con-
troyersies shall be defined at the mo-
ment of peace.
This document is interesting at TINS
time in view Of the strong movements
among all the belligerent nations and
organizations of nonindependcnt peo-
pies hostile to the central powers to
fortify their political positions and es-
tablsh their claims, movement whlch
Is daily becoming more disccrnible.
The representatives OF the two peo-
pies pledge themselves to use their
utmost fort to the end that during
the war and at the moment of peace
these aims of the two peoples may be
fully attained in their entirety. They
affirm that the liberation Of the Adri-
attic sea and its defense against every
actual and eventual enemy is a vital
interest of the two peoples.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY
GETS A BACKSET
DURING OCTOBER
October Internal Revenue Statistics
Shows That Tobacco Industry
Fell Back.

Comparatively inactive conditions
in the tobacco manufacturing indus
try of the United States seem to be
indicated by the official report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
the month of October, 1918, decreased
outputs in every branch being shown
in comparison with the corresponding
month last year, with cigars alone
showing an increase over the preced-
ing month of September of the cur
rent year. Reports from different Sec
lions of the country lead to the con-
illusions of the country lead to the
conclusion that the October produc-
ton in almost every instance was con-
trolled largely by the uncertainty of
the new war tax bill, which was eX-
pected to be passed, imposing vastly
heavier duties on tobacco products of
every description The higher retail
cost of tobacco in every form is said
to have had the effect of cutting down
the consumption to a certain extent,
but the prevailing opinion, in the
trade seems to be that there will be a
healthy reaction in this direction and
that the recod for the closing months
of the current year will truly reflect
a general improvement.
The total collections of internal rev.
enue from all sources on tobacco in
the United States during October,
1918, amounted to $14,527 ,964.29, an
increase over the corresponding
month last year of $1,450, 49797, or I
per cent. Collections for 10 months
of the current calendar year amount
ed to $145,4S2, 94931, an increase of
$50, 165, 365,7O, or Sc per cent.

The BEST REMEDY
FOR THE INFLUENZA
Says Prominent Physician Before
Public Health Association.

Chicago, December 10-Ninety per
cent. of the deaths due to influenza
and pneumonia are preventable when
properly prepared vaccine is used,
according to an address by DR.. E. c.
Rosenow, of Rochester, Mimi, before
the annual meeting of the American
Public Health Association today.
Surgeon General Blue, head of the
United States Public Health Service,
also a speaker at the conference, said
there were nearly 100000 influenza
and pneumonia deaths among civil
ians from September l, 1918, to De-
cember l, 1918.
Dr. Rosenow read figures on the re-
suits of NEGOTIATIONS around Roches-
ter, showing that after the third in
oculation there were nine cases of in
huenza per thousand against 220 per
thousand among the uninoculated, and
one and eight tenths cases per thou
sand of pneumonia against IA per
thousand among those not inoculated.
More than 10000 persons were
given the three inoculations, and their
cases were compared with $1,000 not
given the treatment. The deaths from
influenza and pneumonia among those
inoculated were one tenth those
among the uninoculated, DR.. Rosenow
showed.
A quantity of this serum is now on
its way to Mason county to be used by
DR.. Locke and the local practitioners.
1t is being furnished free by the State
Board of Health.

Americans are on the Rhine in
their whole zone of occupation from

RED CROSS BUTTONS
WILL TELL STORY
OF OUR LOYALTY
Every Family In Mason County
Should BE 100 Per Cent. In Com
ing Campaign Week of
December 1923.

One hurried glance at coat lapels
or blouses the week of December 1928
will tell lot about the ideals of Ma
son county men and women.
If the 1919 membership button of
the Red Cross is being worn, the
glance will register a flattering i'm
preston. This button is to be given
to every adult who pays the one dol
lar membership dues, but the dollar is
the least significant thing about the
transaction.
What the American Red Cross
wants this Christmas is to have the
world see that the American people
are behind the Red Cross spirit. Uni
versal membership will prove this. To
record such a membership the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call is to be
held the week before Christmas. No
quota has been assigned to Mason
county because it is planned to enroll
everybody.
The membership button has a blue
rim with red cross in the center of
white background and the figure 1919
under the red cross. For homes,
stores, factories and offices there is a
Red Cross Service Flag to be display
ed in windows. 1t has a double blue
border representing the second men,
bership appeal and a red cross in the
center of white background and the
figure 100 per cent. for a business
house which has enrolled every per-
son employed there
No family in Mason county should
be content to display a Service Flag
with only one cross. There should
be added a small Red Cross for each
member of the family. The aim is to
enroll families 100 per cent. equally
with business concerns. A Red Cross
can be added for each membership.
The White House in Washington
will have a 100 per cent. Red Cross
Service Flag, and President Wilson,
who is president of the Red Cross,
asks every home in the country to fol-
low suit. He has said, 81 summon you
to thecomradeship" and Mason county
homes will ACCEPT the invitation.

Writes in Answer TO Thanks For
Godfrey Morgan.

The following communication was
received today from Dean and Direc-
tor Thomas Cooper of College of Agri-
culture, University of Kentucky, in re-
spouse to a letter sent him by Secre-
tary Dodds, expressing the apprecia-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce for
the service rendered by State Agent
Morgan.
81 very much appreciate your let
ter of the 18th and the various clip
pings which you enclosed. 1t is a
pleasure to know that your citizens
are so well pleased with one of the
men who represents this institution.
We are naturally appreciative and
glad when a community feels that the
institution has been of assistance and
when it is evident that relationship
has been established which will lead
to a greater use of the facilities of
that institution. AS you know, a Uni
versity is like a commercial club-a
potent force when utilized, but of little
value unless people make use of it and
have confidence in it.
Personally, want you TO feel that
we are DESTROYS of assisting you in
your work and that the oftener the
Chamber of Commerce or the farm
ers of Mason county call upon us, the
better we shall be pleased.
Yours very truly
