About a quarter of a century after
Lewis and Clark visited the region
that is now western Montana, four In
dams from that area visited Clark in
st. Louis, where he had been installed
as governor of the vast Northwest ter
ages of modern times, to ask that
Governor Clark send someone to teach
them the white mans religion. This
request for Christian teaching from
the supposed savages of the northwest
wilderness thrilled the Christian world,
making wonderful copy for the jour-
nalistic sob-sisters of the day Many
sensational accounts of the pilgrimage

not be disputed, that the military leadership at London gave the ex- press order for reckless bombing of the Reich capital"
 Continue London Attacks
 Amid the communiques on the British raids, the official news agency announced that German bombing planes had confined 'roll- ling bomb attacks" on London dur ing the night.
 Objectives were clearly visible, the agency said, as docks and factories were still aflame from the attacks of Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. At some places, it asserted, oil tanks bombed Sunday were still aflame.
 The German planes caused new fires which will light the way for German fliers for the next few days" the statement said.
 Air raids sirens Shrieked in the Berlin area at 11:55 o'clock last night (5:55 D. m. Tuesday, EDT) and it was not until TAT a. m. to- day, one hour and l minutes of the most serious raid alarm period to which the city had yet been subjec- ted that the "all clear" came.
 It looked as if the attack was centered on the heart of the city The United rPesS offices near the Brandenburg gate were shaken by explosions. One bomb crashed into house near the American embas- sy. An incendiary bomb struck five feet from the front door of the embassy without doing damage.

women and children were dead.
 More than 500 persons had taken refuge in the school before it was destroyed by a German bomb of terrific force, probably an aerial tor pedo. About 150 bodies and a few living persons have been taken from the wreckage, but officials said there was little or no chance that others would be found alive.
 One of the most horrible things about the picture of devastation was that none of the hundreds of friends and relatives aiding in the digging could be sure of the identity of those buried underneath the debris.
 Since Tuesday morning, rescue workers have been at work on the wreckage of the school building, which was 8 modern two-story structure built in the shape of an 'L". It was of steel, brick and tile construction.
 Most Imposing Building
 Except for nearby church, which was shattered, the school was the most imposing building in the neighborhood and must have ap- peared to destitute and homeless persons as safe place to seek re- fuge after their own homes had been destroyed by enemy bombs.
 The aerial torpedo hit at the joint of the q" and telescoped two floors into the ground floor with terrific force.
 It made mass of twisted girders. Bricks and other debris covered shattered school, desks. Some water had seeped into low spots.
 They pulled out one more body while I watched. It was hardly rec ognizable as that of man.
 The walls of the school were cleared off clean where the bomb hit. Flaps of concrete roof hung down, held together by reenforcing bars. A teachers desk against the blackboard stood facing what had been a second floor classroom.
 A sharp-faced cockney whose job was blown up Saturday and who worked all day yesterday trying to pull bodies from the school said:
 My girl went to school here. Thank God she is down in the coun- try now"

chunks of portland stone, some weighing a ton or more.
 The steel roof tree and other roof supports hung over the diving platform and one wall was missing.
 Radiators were torn down and all of the windows broken.
 A palace official said that the ex- plosion sent big chunk of masonry sailing over the roof of the palace into the courtyard. Another went through the glass roof at the grand entrance to the palace. Small pieces of masonry made about 20 holes in the roof. There was a shower of broken glass in the picture gallery but all art treasures had been re- moved to safety long ago.
 Some damage was caused in the famous Chinese room of the palace.
 Workmen today were picking up glass from green lawns. once the scene of famous garden parties. Others were cutting of water at a pool because it was flooding near by engine room. But the electricity, gas and water services at the palace were unimpaired and an aid raid shelter beneath the pool was intact.
 Centenary in 1937
 Buckingham palace celebrated its centenary as the royal residence in 1887, It had been used as the Lon- don residence of British royalty since Queen Victoria occupied 1t at her accession to the throne in 1887. The kings residence is at the west end of St. James Park, separated from Trafalger Square and the cen ter of government at Whitehall by almost a mile of lawn and trees. It was the original palace of Lord Goring during the reign of Jamesl and was rebuilt twice after fires.
 It first served a King when Geo. rpe III bought it and frequently used it as a residence but not as an official residence. In 1775 1t was given to Queen Charlotte and be- came known as the Queens house The present building was construc- ted in 1925 by John Nash, but many additions were made under the per sonal direction of Queen Victoria who left the mark of her reign upon it
 Mile of Corridors

bombs crashed along the broad east west axis--scene of triumphal par- ades of Nazi and Fascist leaders, and around such central structures as the Brandenburg gate, Unter Den Linden and the foreign embassies. At least five persons were killed and three injured.
 Hamburg and other German tar gets also were bombed again.
 In London which had a new air alarm due to German reconnaiss- ance planes--there was another eight-hour bombing attack, which added to vast damage inflicted in three previous consecutive nights of mass attack.
 400 Dead In School
 Among the buildings damaged in the British capital were a school in which 400 were feared dead after a direct hit by an aerial torpedo, two more hospitals, a number of ware houses, office buildings and many homes. The fashionable west end also was bombed by the Germans. whose attacks spread out over South England and to Wales.
 Off the coast of Scotland, German planes made repeated attacks dur ing the night and this morning on a British convoy but officials said that it fought it's way safely to port. On the south coast, Germans again were reported to have fired across the channel from French bases to the Dover area.
 The phase of total war which bat tered both London and Berlin ap- peared destined to pick up speed. Anger was mounting swiftly in both capitals.
 Dispatches from Berlin gave little indication of the reaction of the German people, but the anger of Nal spokesmen was a whitehead and they repeatedly threatened that London would be bombed relentless ly and necessarily in retaliation for steady, pounding British aerial of- fensive against many targets in Germany.
 Rescuers Dig In Wreckage

 Meanwhile, war department officials charged with preparing for mobiliza- tion of manpower when the bill be- comes law indicated that registra- tion day would be about October 15 Earlier plans were to register pros pective conscripts about October l Those familiar with conscriptior plans believe President Roosevelt will fix the date of registration shortly after he signs the bill.

 It was believed that the first con. scripts could not be inducted into the army until about November l. ---or at least until after election day November 5. Earlier army mobiliza- tion plans had set the day as Oc- tober Is.
 Chairman Morris Sheppard of the Senate military affairs committee and head of the Senate conferees told reporters that the conferee: 'r1ay get through" their dellbera- tions late this afternoon. He believed that Congress would approve tht conference report in one day.

 ''We're going to push it as best wt can," he said, adding that he hoped to get the report approved by tht Senate Friday-giv:ng drafting clerk! a day in which to write the ina version.
 Sheppard said that the age limi compromise proposals constituted merely something to talk about

 No attempt was made, he said, t agree on the so-called Fish amend nnent in the House bill under Whlcf the war department would have tt undertake a 60-day voluntary enlist nent program before conscriptiol could become effective.

 The Germans announced at the beginning of the mass attacks on London that the purpose was to force Great Britain to abandon night bomb:ngs entirely, whose suc- cesses have raised questions in Ger many about the invincibility of Nazi air power, so frequently emphasized by Hitler. If the night attacks by the British continue, the outcome must be considered unfortunate for Reich Marshal Goering, who took personal command of the new offen- sive from the French side of the channel
 GOering's Name Is Gone
 Goering's name, which was given so much prominence in Berlin dis patches when the attack on London began, now seems to have disap- peared from the German reports Whether this means the German high command has decided the con- sequences of the London bombings do not measure up to anticipated re- suits cannot yet be fully determined
 Nevertheless, the fact remains that the British have increased, rather than diminished their night air op- erations since the start of the Lon- don offensive, while the German assaults have somewhat slackened If the London attack was devised hastily as an end in itself, solely aimed at ending night bombings, as Hitler indicated, then it has not been successful.
 If the Germans have a secondary purpose, it has not yet been revealed Speculation can take several forms but there are no visible facts to form basis of probabilities. The next move is for Hitler to divulge, should he have one of any real military value, after his attacks on London: civilian population.

 The German radio in g. special breakfast time broadcast put the toll at five killed and three wound- ed.
 It said that sections of a number in Berlin streets must be evacu- ated because outer walls of some houses were damaged and insecure.
 The official news agency called the raids on Berlin and Belgium most intense.
 British airplane raiders early to- day set off a binding 1ountain of fire in te heart of Berlin.
 An instant later an explosive bomb crashed into building in the rear of the former French embassy and vomited black smoke into the sky.
 I watched the raid from the office windows on the top story of a building. We were able to trace the path of the British f1iers across 8 cloudless, Starlit sky by watching the pinpoint flashes of anti-aircraft shells and the strings of orange green and red tracer bullets which looked like diamond necklaces mov- ing across the sky.
 Occasionally the British planes helped us and the German gunners by dropping parachute flares which threw a brilliant, orange light far and wide.
 Soon the planes were right over our heads. Pandemonium broke loose. German ground fire beat a powerful tattoo.
 When the first bomb crashed into the Art Academy next to the Uni ted States embassy I felt the air pressure and our building shook although the explosion was BOG yards away. Then two incendiary bombs fell and buried themselve! into the asphalt before the Bran. denburg gate, lighting up its broae columns.
 The din was terrific and we de cided to seek shelter. By the timt we reached the bottom floor there was more noise of gunfire and tht occasional heavy thud or low rum. ble of bombs. Splinters of shrapne were raining into the streets ane the courtyard which we had tt cross to reach shelter and so we de. cided to stick it out on the bottom step.
 The raiders seemed to concen. trate on the center of Berlin. Dur. ing the raid the odor of gunpowdel was everywhere. Judging from tht sound of airplane motors the Brit ish were flying fairly low and th' flares they dropped made the street! bright enough to make it possible t read newspapers.
 "The attack of British flyers or Berlin on the night Of September 10 to II carefully avoided all mil itary goals. The conduct of the l British flyers were apparently ex. actly planned beforehand, for al though the city was easily recog- nizeable in the moon lit, starry night, the enemy in addition drop ped nemerous parachute flares.

 The King and Queens rooms are in the north wing which overlooks the Green Park, and is known as the private corridor. At the far end, opposite the St. James Park en- trance, is the private royal dining room, and along the corridor over looking the park are the Kings study and Cne Queens boudoir. It was this wing that was damaged by the bomb.
 The King and Queen live in suites of average size rooms in this part of the palace, leaving the state apart mentS and imposing corridors for formal court occasions. The King used his study daily for occasional work of state.
 Royalty Takes Shelter
 London, September 11-(UP) - King George and Queen Elizageth were visiting a southeast London district today when a morning air raid alarm sounded.
 They took shelter in 8 police sta- tion, where canteen staff pro- vided them with tea and biscuits As soon as the all clear sounded the king and queen resumed their journey.
 During the stop at the police station the king and queen sat in a bleak, dimly lit room where a strange assortment of humanity was thrown together.
 The king wore the service dress of a field marshal. The queen wore a two-piece suit of almond beige. They sat in the center of the room on straight wooden chairs.
 Around them sat uniformed po- lice and plain-clothes detectives and court officials. Also in the room were air raids precaution workers-women in white overalls and workers at the police can- teen.
 When the king and queen en- tered the shelter 30 persons there before them stared in astonish- ment and then applauded.
 The king leaned back in chair crossed his legs comfortably ano lit a cigarette.
 Both Were Composed
 The queen, composed, sat ano smiled. The king was the first te hear the all clear signal and he remarked:
 That's the all clear, but l an going to wait for tea"
 So their majesties drank tes from thick china cups customarily used in the police canteen.
 Then the king and queen in- spected many scenes of devasta- tion.
 The queen was on the verge o1 tears as she talked with womer who had lost their husbands ol children or who had seen theil homes shattered.
 AS they left a bomb crater neal | a block of workers apartments men and women cheered and sang "there'n always be an England.
 The king and queen climbed ovel great heaps of rubbish that once had been 12 small houses. Dus gathered thick on the queen shoes and stockings.
 little has to have 8 bodyguart wherever he goes but you cam down here just like this," a woman said to their majesties. God bles you and keep you"
 Hitler knocked our house dow1, but he ain't got us down." Sai' another woman, whose home ha' been demolished.
