PARIS RAID K|L[S24;;
) DEAD IN BRITAIN
Stronger Defenses Effective in
Causing Hasty Action by
German FIiers.
MANY PERSONS INJURED

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. April 13.-Twenty-four per-
sons were Killed and sixty-two injured
in Friday nights German air raid on
Paris, according to the latest official in
formation.
Most of the bombs dropped during the
raid fell in one spot, striking house.
1t was evident the raiders found their
work much more difficult under the
new system of aerial defenses. and
dropped their bombs hastily.
It was a still. dark night of the sort
most favorable for an aerial attack
and raid was generally expected. The
theaters were in the midst of their per-
formances when the sounding of sirens
and the noise of anti-airplane guns
gave warning that the raiders we're ap-
preaching. The crowds in the theaters
made their way to the cellars or to
other settlers nearby, arrangements for
wfch had been made in advance. In the
cellar of the Comedie Franchise, one of
the performers sang old French songs.
AS on the occasion Of previous raids.
ambulances Of the American Red Cross
were first on the scene.
Shells Again Reach Paris.
For the first time since the long dis
tance bombardment of Paris. German
shells reached the Paris region after
sunset. A projectile struck somewhere
near the city at sos o'clock this even
ing.
In the Paris district today two per-
sons were killed and twelve wounded
by the bombardment.
Casualties in England.
LONDON, April 13.-Five persons
were killed and fifteen others injured In
the German air raid last night on Eng
land. according to an official announce
ment made today.
The announcement reads:
-Four airships participated in last
nights raid. Two of them penetrated
a Few miles inland. OF the other two,
one reached the Midlands and the other
nearly reached the northwest coast. The
raiders were travelling at a great height
and showed no inclination to attempt
to penetrate defended areas.
Most of the bombs were dropped in
open country. and apart from the
demolition of four houses at one place,
the damage SO far reported is incon-
siderable.

Majority of 172 Votes Against
omitting Clause From
Man-Power Bill.
ASQUITH LINES UP
IN GRAVE WAR 3 CRISIS


LONDON, April 13.-A proposal by
Irish nationalists to omit the conscrip-
tion Of Ireland clause from the govern
ment power bill was rejected by ma
jority 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. Il. Asquith, the former pre-
nlier, who, while strongly objecting to
the conscription of Ireland, frankly de-
clined to take the responsibility at the
moment the nation is facing grave
military crisis of pushing that opposi-
ton to the extent of forcing change
in the government. Henry E. Duke,
chief secretary for Ireland. made brave
attempt to conciliate the Irish mem
bers. The effort led to strong a1terca-
ton with the 'nationalists at the close Of
the debate.
Craven Not to Do It, Says Law.
The government spokesman in the
house.. Andrew Bonar Law. in brief
speech winding up the discussion. con-
tended that the government had q moral
right in what they were doing and would
be craven not to do 1t.
I'VE could not tell America she had the
right to conscript Irishmen in the United
States while we had not the same right
at home" he said. I'VE intend at the
earliest moment to introduce bill which
we hope will give home rule, or. rather,
local government. to Ireland"
This statement brought a fresh uproaf
and laughter from the Irish members.
Mr.. Bonar Law went on:
I'VE shall try to carry it through stimuli
taneousiy with preparations for carrying
out the man-power bill that is all i
can say"
HIS speech was interrupted constantly
by ironical remarks from the Irish
benches The Irish members at the con-
clusion. challenged the government to a
further division on the conscription
clause. It was carried by the government

VALUABLE INFORMATION
ON SPANISH INFLUENZA

The following was taken from a
Los Angeles paper in 1909, and just
recently handed to the editor for pub
lication. This remedy may be found
valuable for the present epidemic,
Spanish Influenza" However, it
will do no harm to give it a trial.
Editor the Record:
During my stay in Pasadena, 1907
1908, I read in Los Angeles papers
of deaths from pneumonia of from
two to five persons every twenty
four hours. The twenty-seventh of
February, 1909 I got the following
prescription inserted in four Of the
Los Angeles daily papers; the public
read 1t and the next day the high
death rate dropped suddenly, the pa
pers only recording one death day.
This simple remedy was discov-
cred twenty years ago, and can be
had at any drug store for 80 cents.
Seven people died last week in one
day from this malady. I am ready
to denfend this remedy as an absolute
cure for pneumonia, even in the last
stages.
The remedy is: Saturate ball Of
cotton one inch in diameter with
spirits of grain alcohol and three
drops of chloroform to each ball Of
cotton, place it between the patients
teeth, (after first using vaseline on
the gums to prevent burning) and
let the patient inhale the fumes in
long, deep breaths for Is minutes;
then rest for Is minutes or more; in
hale again and repeat the above for
twenty times.
The result will be that the lungs
will relax and expand to their nor
NAL condition; in twenty-four hours
the patients is out Of danger and in
forty-eight hours cured altho weak.
Change the cotton every seven
minutes, else the saliva will dilute
the alcohol.
Cut this out and save, as it may
save life.

GOOD ROADS BULLETIN

a hollow place that was concealed
by the top crust, and the horse had
quite scramble. ..
Mr.. Parrish stated that the people
out on those lanes have in past years
donated great deal of road work.
They made the Willeford lane and
put 1t in condition at a cost Of only
$6S. They moved the Grove City
ditch from the middle of the road to
the side, and graded a long belt Of
road so it has not needed much II
any repairs for years, and it cost the
county only $65. He mentions T.

platform for the league and selected
candidates for them and outvoted the
league delegates?
Would there not have been some
talk about tn gangs rough-shod over
riding of the rights Of the people?
What difference would there have
been between this, and what was
done? Nothing, except it would have
been the other fellows OK that was
gored. Can there ever be good feel
ing SO long as such policy is fol-
lowed?
:. Auuly Principle to Religion -
But politics is free, someone may
say. Yes, and so is religious aff1lia-
ton in this country. Out in Pleasant
valley there is strong Lutheran
church, whose members represent a
high standard of virtue. In the same
locality is a Baptist church, whose
mem bership is equally worthy. But
the Lutherans greatly out-number
the Baptists. Suppose the Lutherans
shoul denter the Baptist fold, rewrite
their creed, select pastor for the
Baptists, who met the peculiar Lee
theran views? Would that be right?
Suppose the Methodists in American
Falls, should flock into the Catholic
church and rewrite the Catholic
creed and install Methodist minis
ter as priest. Would that be right?
The Non-partisans did this for the
Democrats, and the leaders defend
the acton in spite of the fact that our
government is founded upon the
principle Of equal rights and equal
freedom.
That the Non-partisan leaders en-
tered the Democratic primaries and
not the Republicans, is merely an
accident. Their plans were all made
to- enter the Republican primaries,
but a change was made the last few
days before the convention. But that
is another story.
In subsequent issues the Press will
go further into this matter, and pre-
sent some things that all citizens,
whether Nen-partisans or not, should
give careful consideration. Com
munities are only large families, and
states are but union of communit-
les. The people of every community
have much in common, and there is
always disposition to do the right
thing when any matter is put fairly
and importially before the public.
There is no occasion for strife and
bitterness, and there need be none If
people will keep their heads and
make due allowances for the rights
of Others.

George Parrish came in to explain
matters about the hole In the road
out his way that cost ]. H. Early
q broken spring and loss Of about
twenty dollars, that we announced
a few weeks ago. We suggested at
the time, that one of the neighbors
might have saved the loss by going
out with shovel for short time
and filled the hole up, but Mr.. Par
IRISH says it is not a case that could
be handled in that way and get per-
manent results.
About ten years ago when Parrish
was road overseer, they got bids for
construction Of a bridge over the
slough, and they all seemed high, SO
he hired help and built it for con-
siderable less than their lowest bid.
1t had cement abutments, and was
all right for bridge purposes, but a
few years ago the Asylum headgate
washed out and they found that the
bridge would afford nearly COM
plete bulkhead for them, and they
made arrangements with Commits
siOner Kennedy to SO strengthen the
bridge and support it that it would
do for both bridge and headgate.
They assumed the responsibility of
keeping it in repair, and instead of
cutting off the water and laying
proper cement base, they chucked in
a lot of rock at greater expense.
Mr.. Parrish advised that this would
keep settling and giving trouble, and
it has. They have to put in more
rock and tinker with it every year
and several times year. He says
they have repaired it some three or
four times this season, and are al
ways good about repairing it when
notified that it is in bad order. The
pressure of the water, the soft bot
tom and the weight of tons and tons
of rock they keep dumping in, keep
it in state of constant change. The
dirt sinks at the sides Of the bridge,
the water washes some Of it away,
they fill in, and then the process is
repeated.
Mr.. Parrish says that only few
days ago as he was driving across
