LOURENCO MARQUES, Portu-

Gen. Doolittle's raid on Japan pro-
vided the thrill Of q lifetime for
a group OF Americans at an intern
ment camp midway between Toxic
and Yokohama.
One OF the United State planes
few directly over our camp and the
music of its motors was sweeter than
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony"
which our phonograph was playing
at the time.
It was shortly after noon on
April 1s that the big thrill came.
Z We were having coffee and toast
when the police rushed into our
camp excitedly and told us to ex-
tinguish the fires In the stoves and
close the windows because there
was an air raid.
We thought it was only q drill
even when we heard two tremendous
explosions in the direction Of the
Kawasaki industrial area.
A few seconds later, however, we
saw a large twin -motored plane fly
ing very low. Bursts of anti-air-
craft shells were streaking after it.
The raider dropped down 200 feet
to skim rooftops and escaped.
Guards Very Excited.
It few overhead as a squadron of
slow Japanese biplanes arose from
q nearby training field and circled
around looking for the Americans.
But by that time this particular
raider was far away over Tamagawa
valley speeding toward Fuji, where
it disappeared in the mists.
We even spotted two raiders fal
distant in the direction of Yoko-
hama's docks, and that evening the
radio told us of raids on Kobe
Osaka and Nagoya.
Our guards were very excited, and
later we heard that plane factories
IN Nagoya were badly damaged
Kawasaki likewise was hard hit
and $50 workers were reported killed
there.
Three days later noted a small
item in the Japanese press telling
of a mass burial Of Japanese ma
rines at Yokosuka.
Mrs. Theodore Walser, wife of q
missionary, said her husband and
several other internees saw the
American flyers wave to people or
the ground in the Waseda area
Mr.. Walser said one raider few over
the downtown, where hastily sum-
moned AFRAID wardens dashed
about excitedly. All was confusion
with the Japanese.
Air Patrolled Constantly.
The night after the raid the siren.
blew again, but no planes appeared
The next day Japanese pursuit ship.
patrolled the air constantly.
Aside from the reactions of in.
dividual Japanese, the tone of tn.
press indicated that Japanese com.
placency was shaken considerabl,

Church Report Hits
Increased Use Of
Alcohol in D. {.
Holt Of Liquor Industry
Urged as Disciples Of
Christ Delegates Gather
BY the Associated Press.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 20.
A demand for elimination Of the
alcoholic beverage industry" for the
duration of the war greeted dele
gates gathering here today for tho
opening OF the international con-
vention of the Disciples of Christ.
Incorporated In the denomina-
tion's annual report to members, the
demand was coupled with an ex-
preston Of concern "over evidences
of increased consumption of alco-
hol in the City of Washington" and
a call on Congress for passage OF the
Sheppard bill to give authorities OF
the armed services immediate con-
troll over the sale of liquor near
military establishments.
Leaders of the church, which
claims more than 800 900 members,
planned to distribute the report to
5000 delegates they expect to at
tend the six-day convention, for.
mally opening tonight.
The (social welfare) department
is gravely concerned over increasing
evidence that the consumption of
alcoholic liquors has reached point
where 1t Is menace to both our
people and the national effort" the
report asserted. Statistics covering
arrests for drunkenness, trafiic ac-
cidents and fatalities, liquor caused
crimes and juvenile delinquency
- confirm this conclusion.
"We are graveay concerned over
evidences of increasing consumption
OF alcohol in the city OF Washington.

of the Nations war effort. Bureau
of Internal Revenue figures show
that the per capita consumption Of
alcohol in the District of Columbia
increased from 3.8 to 426 gallons

and June 80, 1910. This is an In
crease Of more than II per cent in

yesterday it had gained at least two
months on a new airplane engine
factory by building 1t out Of wood

came available.
The new structure, which required
only 45 working days for completion,

New Jersey" Vice President M. B.
Gordon OF the Wright company said
The only substantial use of struc-
tural steel. Mr.. Gordon said, was
above doors and windows. Truss
design was simplified and made of
yellow pine.
For safety the wood was treated
with fire-resisting chemicals.
Mr.. Gordon said one reason the
contractor could get the job done
so quickly was that both house car
penters and industrial carpenters
could be used on the job, while
hard-to-get steel workers weren't
needed. Neither was it necessary to
await shipments OF steel.
In addition to the wooden factory,
the company reported it had OBJ
