Lieut.. Raymond Z. Taylor Killed In
Bombing Raid In Germany.

Bombing Raid In Germany.
| Confirmation OF the fear that Lieut..
| Raymond Q. Taylor, OF Arlington Heights,
Mass and North Sullivan had been killed
in bombing raid over Germany, has
been received. He was reported missing
September 10, and has nov been deff-
nitely identified as one OF six pilots and
observers killed in a raid III the rail
road at Contains. In the late afternoon of
September is, four planes went over The
lines The formations soon sighted fleet
OF enemy aircraft making for them. To
hide in the clouds and see clearly enough
to perform their work WAS impossible,
so they continued exposed to the fire
OF the enemy, dropped their explosives
and engsged in combat not less than
twenty four Boche pursuit planes.
The enemy concentrated their fire on
each allied plane. Lit. Tsylor's position
being nearest the enemy. he wss brought
down first, followed rapidly by the other
three, all machines in flames except that
of ld Goldman and his observer, whose
machine was OF a newer, swtfter type
and equipped with an srmGred gasoline
tank. This enabled them to land safely
in Germany.
Lieut.. Taylor was a member OF the group
which received the following citation:
"The work OF the first day bombsrdment
group during the battle of st. Mihiel
and in the operation after it, has been
such as to bring out the praise and
appreciation of all the troops OF the
allied service participating in the opera
tion."
Lieut. Taylor was twenty-six years OF
age, a graduate of TUFTS college, and
member OF the S. T. A. fraternity. In the
summer OF 1915, following his graduation,
he went to Plattsburg training camp.

and WAS assigned for instruction at
Miami, Fla, later being trans ferred to
Rantonl, ILL.,, and to the University OF

ALLIED SUBS PERILED
Were Constantly Haired by Their
Own Warships.
British Submarine Nearly Destroyed
by American Vessels While
Being Tested.

London.--One of the greatest perils
to allied submarines during the war
was attack by friendly destroyers. A
submarine was assumed to be an enc
my when sighted by the ships of any
allied nation and Ii was up to the sub
marine to show recognition signals IL
she was not German.
But if it was destroyer that sight
ed the submarine she was always max
ing for the little craft by the time the
recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch in getting up flag or fir
ing rocket would mean the subma-
rine would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
was made by American destroyers on
a new British submarine of a large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system, and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
dive 800 feet, but that was forgotten
as charge after charge explode near
by. Finally she struck bottom at 800
feet and it was found she was not
badly damaged. She was kept on the
bottom until her commander was GER
tain the destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the sur
face.
''She don't need any more testing
after that experience" the comman-
der reported to the officer in charge of
the submarine base.

JUST IN TIME TO SAVE WIFE
Gambler Arrives Home to Find Spouse
Unconscious From Fumes of
Escaping Gas.

San Francisco.-Here is the case of
a man who stayed out late gambling
and came home to save the life of his
wife. He deserves credit.
His name is Lee Wah and his wife
is Sing All. She got tired of waiting
for Lee and went to bed in disgust.
She forgot to turn off the gas COM
pletely, so that she was unconscious
from the fumes when he returned. He
was loser up to that time.
Lee struck a match when he came
in. There was bang and lot of fire
works on account of the accumulation
of gas.
Lee Wah landed out in the hallway
on his shoulder blades. The bed his
wife was sleeping in was tipped over.
A window was blown out and the plas-
ter was Jared from the wall.
When it was all over the police and
the fire department came. The wife
was taken to the hospital, where she
was revived. Lee Wah recovered be-
fore that. The couple were reconciled
when each of them learned of the
circumstances.

BONDS TO PAY
DEBT OF HONOR
They Will Bring Home the Fight
ing Men Who Have Won the
Victorious Peace.

The Fifth Liberty Loan win be used
especially and emphatically in paying
a debt of honor.
The debt is one owed by the nation
to its fighting forces. Who could
think for moment that 1t would not
be paid eagerly in the finest spirit and
with pride in meeting the obliga-
tons?
This Loan - the VICTORIOUS
FlFTH-which will be offered In about
three months. will bring home the men
who fought through France from
Chateau-Thierry right to Sedan. thou
sands Of whom are today on German
soil
The President says that large pro-
portion Of them must remain during
the period Of occupation Those who
Will be brought homo will be trans
ported and demobilized ut a very
heavy expense for months to come.
The Loan viii pay these charges.
To avoid them in any way. to try to
cut down on them. to fail TO provide
money for them, would be an incred-
1ble act on the part of the people of
the United States.
The men who went to France, ready
to give their lives if need be for the
nation, did not halt half way-did not
stop when they thought the end
seemed almost near. They went to
the very limit. They saw the war to
the very close, however bitter It might
be.
To look after them in the period of
the making of the peace, to bring them
home in comfort and safety and honor.
must be the one effort of all the war
loans in which the nation will join
to man.
The realization of what the men
have done is written across the history
OF the United States the past eighteen
months. The opportunity to pay the
debt Of honor will be met in return
ing them to peace and prosperity.
The opportunity lies in the new
Liberty Loan bond, that is the Fifth
Loan,
Use the next three months In pre-
| pairing to Join In paying the country's
| debt Of honor to her soldiers who have
won the victory.

The Bolshevik menace in this
country is assuming proportions that
have aroused Congress to action. In
the Senate yesterday sweeping inves-
tigation of Bolshevikis, l. W. W. and
other propaganda was ordered unani-
mously after two hours of tempestu-
GUS discussion, in which several sena-
tors declared that organizations were
plotting to overthrow the American
government by violence. The Senate
Judiciary subcommittee, which for
more than year has been investi-
eating prot German and brewers
propaganda, was authorized TO con-
duct the new inquiry which will be

Providence JournaI.l


The splendid concern of Secretary OF
War Baker that ample and complete JUS
tice be done to conscientious OBJ jectors"
by his decision that they be given back
pay and transportation to their homes
must warm all hearts toward this humani-
tartan pacifist.
This action is peculiarly noteworthy in
view of the fact that tens OF thousands of
our soldiers who have fought in France
are not only owed several months of their
back pay by the government, but, in a
great many cases, money that has been
taken out of their pay for allotment to
their wives or dependent families has
never yet been turned over to these de-
pendents.
We suggest that MIR. Baker crown his
career by bringing into Congress an act
to line or imprison all American soldiers
who fired shot in anger on any Euro
pean battlefield.

A Meaningless Compromise.
[New York World


Under private ownership and operation
the American people had relatively the
best and cheapest telephone service in the
world. Whatever the faults of private
management may have been, the tele-
phone became great public utility that
reached TO every nook and corner of the
country, and the public had little reason
to complain OF either the cost or the quality
OF the service.
Since the telephone systems were taken
over by the federal government as a war
measure and put in charge of the post
Office department the service has steadily
deteriorated. Nothing has come out OF
government control except annoyance,
vexation and increased charges.
In his argument for the extension of the
period of federal operation, the post
master general stated that he had been
informed by representatives of the tele'
phone companies that deterioration and
confusion" would follow if the systems
were turned back without Legislative
guarantees. The deterioration and con-
fusion are already here, personally con-
Quoted by the postmaster general:
There is no reason why the United
States government should not get out Of
the telephone business at once. The
longer it is in charge the worse the ser.
vice is sure to be and the more compiled.
tions will arise. The sooner the proper
ties are returned the sooner the privat,
owners can be compelled to restore tn
former service.

OUT OF STEP.
Senator Hale Says Wilson's Ideals
Not Those of Country.


Not Those of Country.
In speech in the Senate Monday urg-
ing prompt conclusion of a peace treaty
anu the return OF American troops from
Europe, Senator Hale declared be did not
believe the ideals for which President
Wilson was contending were the ideals of
the.vast majority of the American people,
and that the American fighting man did
not share the idea that he fought to make
the world safe for democracy.
81 do not wish to decry the work OF the
President" said Senator Hale, '.but
believe that his ideals are not the ideals of
the vast majority of the people of the
United States.
THE American people never understood
the meaning or consequence OF the ideals
and policies of President Wilson. They
were given out at time when, as COM
mander-in- chief, it was held universally
be an objectionable sin TO criticize the
President. The wonderful catch words
and phrases of the President caught the
ear of the people, bui did not catch the
understanding.
THAT the American people are bound
by any of these statements is to me in
conceivable. They certainly never were
bound by t he vastly different declarations
OF the President during the weary months
before We went into the war"
American soldiers, like those OF the
fn
own country, the senator said He added:
Now that the war is won, the Ameri-
can people want peace: And they want
1t without further delay. They want
their boys back in this country. They
want and expect their representatives at
the peace conference to close matters up
just as quickly as can be done.p

Why should we denounce fault-find
ing because it is not constructive? All
Of us are continuously finding fault,
more or less, and on our success In
finding the fault and destroying it de-
ponds mostly our successful develop
ment. SO in the end it appears that
fault-finding is essentially one Of our
most constructive activities. One of
our worst faults is the hypocritical
practice of finding fault with fault
fnding.-F. ii. Young In Providence
