icle several.

home of his son, John, in the fourth
ward, Friday, January 25th, at 12

169 Wounded When Bombs Are
Dropped on London.
German Airpiane Is Shot Down II
Flames and Three Occupants
Are Burned to Death.

London. Jan. 30.-German airplnnes
made their first attacks of the year
upon London and its suburbs on Mon
day night their bombs intiicting casual
ties officially reported as At killed and
l69 injured. Of those killed ii were
men. II women and Is children.
All the victims, except one of the
killed and seven of the injured, We're
in the London area itself.
No serious material damage was
done, and the raiders suffered the loss
of one machine which fell In flames
from height of 10000 feet, its three
occupants being burned TO death.
The enemy machines. numbering
about fifteen, came over the coast in
relays, but apparently only three or
four succeeded in getting through. the
harrage The gunfire lasted intefInit-
tently through five hours, and for two
hours WAS almost continuous.
There was an hours interval before
midnight when no firing was heard
except an occasional distant gun off
toward the coast. Residents who were
away from their homes at the theaters
or in the shops when the raid began
concluded it was all over. although the
hugles had not sounded clear signal.
and more persons were on the streets
than usual at midnight when she heavy
guns began to boom again in wnrding
of the second attack.
The house of lords was sitting when
the raiders first appeared and it con-
tinued lis deliberati tionS until midnight
With an attendance of 10 peers, which
was fair number for that body. The
house Of commons had adjourned Il
few moments before the warning wss
received
John Hodges, the minister of pen
sions, was addressing public meeting

when the firing began. He declared
TO them his only regret was that the
Germans had not been given months
ago a taste Of what they were giving

SENATOR,
MAYOR And
POSTMASTER
ATNARSHFIELD
They Broke Bread With the Business
Men of Marshfeld at Luncheon
Last Thursday.

The following item taken from the
Marshfield Times in it's last issue,
commenting about our officials:
At this same luncheon, Senator I.
P. Witter, Mayor Ellis and County
Fuel Administrator Robert Nash, all
of Grand RAPIDS, were present. Sena-
tor Witter who was called upon by
the president of the club for a short
talk, presented in a concise manner
his attitude for the election of a new
senator in the place of Senator Hus-
ting, deceased. Whatever the party
nominated may be, he stated, be it
either q Democrat or Republican, if
he is the right man, he is willing and
will efface all party lines at this
crucial period and help any man that
will back the president. His talk
though short was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Witter is a man, who on all occa-
sions is the same fellow you met the
day before and Wood county is proud
to know him as such and his consti-
tuents can feel that he is the right
man in the right place.
The mayor of Grand Rapids, Mr..
Ellis, although having verbal agree
ment with the presiding officer on
not taking too much time of the club,
said enough in three minutes that
hugely "tickled" the hearts of all
Marshfelders present. Down at Grand
Rapids the business men, some of
them have attended our luncheons at
one time or another, formed an or
ganization there similar to ours. Mr..
Ellis candidly stated (although he
was loath to admit it) that their club
was the offspring Of the one in this
city, and that while it was not copied,
they just naturally grabbed the idea
and transplanted the germ of a YER
dant piece of influential machinery to
the county seat.

ROAD
Commission
NE I

Recently, the county state road COM
mission consisting of messrs. Harry
Thomas Of Sherry, Nick Berg Of Au-
burndale, Lewis Schroeder of this city,
and F. F. Mengel, District Engineer
of the State Highway commission met
with Louis Amundson, Wood County
Highway Commissioner at his Office at
the court house for the purpose of dis
cussing the matter of the maintenance
of the Trunk highway system in Wood
county.
They discussed matters in connec-
ton with this system, very thoroly
and estimated the number of miles of
state highway, Trunk System, at SO
miles. 1t was agreed that the state
and county would look after these
highways on the patrol system and
that they would hire man and his
team to work every day on distance
of about or 10 miles, this would ne
cessitate about eight patrol men.
They will soon offer bids for the
securing Of these patrol men. They
think in this manner they will be well
able to take care of the Trunk systems
in this county and keep them up in
good condition.
They opened the bids for cement re-
quirements for the work to be done in
1918, for the erection of bridges, cul-
verts, and pavements necessary. They
estimated that it would require about
5000 barrels for the work now in pros
pect. The lowest bid was offered by
the Marquette Cement Co. at $2.4O1s
per barrel, delivered f. o. b. cars Wood
county. We are Informed this price
d 51a cents lower per barrel than other
neighboring counties are getting on
an order of $4,000 barrels. This is
considerable saving to Wood County
IN this one contract alone.
If the coming season is in anyway
favorable for road work Wood county
will be able to accomplish considerable
more work than they did the past sea-
son.

son have claimed citizenship while
they in fact were alien enemies. There
is no intention on the part of the Gov
ernment to disturb any person who
meets these requirements # he full
fills the obligation Of the registry in
good faith. Any German of foreign
birth is not citizen unless he has re-
ceived his full second papers. For
their own protection they should be
urged to meet all of the requirements
promptly, faithfully and fully.
As this work is important in the
extreme, it is the duty Of every A
merican citizen to assist the registrar
and make known to the Chief of Police
and Postmaster the name of any per
son who he has reason to believe is a
German alien enemy, and it should be
the duty of every good citizen to as
sist during the time of the registration
in making the work complete in every
respect even though he does it at
considerable sacrifice to himself.
The registration does not apply to
Austrians but only to German aliens.
There is but one way in which we
can get this work thoroughly done and
that is by giving the entire matter
publicity. In getting this publicity
we must draw upon your patriotism
and upon your desire to keep the neigh
borhood in which you have influence
quiet and peaceful. There is no fund
available for advertising this regis
tration. Every person subject to re-
fgistration is bound to observe it, and
the law pre-supposes that he has no
tice of the registration. [ know you
have been called upon to give a great
amount of space for advertising in
various matters which the Government
has desired to bring before the public,
and | expect you will be called on a
gain and again to do likewise. l ap-
peal to you as a good citizen to give
this matter wide publicity in every is
sue of your paper between now and the
9th of February, and assure you that
whatever you may do for your country
in this regard will be appreciated.
Full instructions will be mailed to
your Chief of Police or to your Post
master within few days and he will
be glad to give you detailed informa-
tion regarding the registration.
Yours very truly,
FRANK O'CONNOR,
United States Marshal.
