ENGLAND ATTACKED
BY AIR AND BY SEA
Enemy Submarine Bombards
Scarborough and Air
men Reach London.
PEOPLE DEMAND REPRISAL
London Papers Ask, "Has - Ger
many Got Her Great Air Of
fensive Ready Before Ours?"
Further Visit Expected.
LONDON, Sept. 5. "While enemy air
planes, probably as many as 20, were
raiding a wide area of the southeast
coast of England, reaching as far as
London, a hostile submarine bombarded
Scarborough, firing SO rounds, killing
three persons and injuring five. The
air raid resulted in death to 11 per
sons and injury to 62.
The submarine attack was made at
dusk and about half the shells fired
reached land. The material damage
was slight.
The air raid last night, the third
made on England on successive
nights, was the first to reach London
on a moonlight night.
Bomb Drops Near Hospital.
The raiders dropped a number of
bombs in London, one of which fell
just outside a hospital, another
smashed through a theater and still
another hit a retail store in which a
number of girls were sleeping.
Notwithstanding the moonlight, noth
' Ing could be seen of the raiders, al
though their engines could be heard
overhead. That they were invisible
was perhaps due to a slight haze, which,
however, was insufficient to obscure
the moon. The raiders were constantly
shelled by anti-aircraft guns and sev
eral Britisli machines took the air to
attack the invaders. One Invader is
said to have been hit squarely at an
elevation of 9000 feet.
The streets were practically deserted
at the time of the raid, it being long
after theater hours. The few late
tstreetcars that were running either
put out their lights or stopped. A mes
sage from a southeastern district says
that apparently the invaders crossed
the North Sea in three successive
groups and that all were severely
shelled, both arriving and returning.
Jn several London streets this morn
ing sights were witnessed reminiscent
of the earlier period of the war, when
Zeppelins paid nocturnal visits. Early
this morning crowds flocked to the dis
tricts which had suffered and the police
had a busy time.
Reprisals Are Demanded.
Among the crowd the dominant de
mand was for reprisals, which many
believe would put an end to raids on
England. Others insist the government
take immediate steps to obtain su
premacy of the air to a degree which
would render raids impossible.
London is convinced the raid was
only the first of many similar under
takings to be attempted, knowing the
habit of the Germans, who once suc
cessful, continue operations until a
way of checking them is found.
"Has Germany got her great air of
fensive ready before ours?" is a ques
tion asked by a morning paper.
Another paper which frequently
warns of Germany's intention to in
vade England with aircraft in very
large fleets, refers to tho growing
casualty list and the relative immunity
of the invaders and adds:
"It cannot be said that we are get
ting on with our invasion plans faster
than the enemy."
SCARBOROUGH. England, Sept. 5.
Curing the prevalence of a thick mist a
German submarine appeared about two
miles off shore at 7 o'clock last even
ing and began to bombard the town.
About a dozen shells were fired in
cuick succession, the shore at the time
being crowded with visitors.
British mine sweepers began an at
tack on the submarine and the cannon
ade became deafening. The submarine
soon submerged and was not seen
again.
The material 'damage inland was
small. A station two miles inland
was hit by a shell but no one was in
jured. EXGLISH AIRMEN DROP BOMBS
German Military Establishments in
, Belgium Arc Set Afire.
LONDON. Sept. 5. Many tons of
bombs have been dropped in further
raids on German military establish
ments in Belgium, causing large fires.
The Admiralty today gave out the fol
lowing account of these operations:
"At midnight on the third inst. a
bombing raid was carried out by naval
aircraft on the Bruges docks, the Vara
senaere airdrome and the Ghistelles
airdromes. Many tons of bombs were
dropped with good results.
"A second raid on the Bruges docks
was made at noon September 4. Direct
bits were observed on special targets.
Many sheds along. the quayside were
lilt and large fires which were caused
were stlil seen to be burning when
the machines recrossed the line. All
cur machines returned from both raids.
"On Monday afternoon, the third inst:,
nn enemy aircraft-spotting machlno
was engaged by one of our fighter
patrols and shot down, completely out
of control. An enemy kite balloon also
was attacked and the observer was
forced to jump . out."

BANKS ASKED TO LEND
COVEllMEXT ASKS $300,000,000 FOR
THREE MONTHS OSLV,
Certflcates Purchased May Be Con
verted Into Bonds When Next Lib
erty Loan la Called For. ,
Portland banks and bankers were In
vited by telegraph last night to par
ticipate In a. new short-term Govern
ment loan for 1 300,000.000, which will
be' issued September 17.
As the advice came after the close
of banking- hours, the banks here were
unable to act upon it. but, following
their usual custom, it is probable they
will subscribe liberally.
The proposed loan is to run for
three months and will bear 3& per
cent interest
It is understood that the entire is
sue, or any parts of it that the sub
scribing banks wish to convert, will
be convertible into the new liberty
loan bonds, which will doubtless be
placed -on the market before the due
date of the loan.
The message yesterday advised that
the Government "offers to redeposit
with subscribing banks proceeds in
proportion to subscriptions. Such de
posits may be retained until required
by .Government and if practicable five
days' withdrawal notice will be given."
The rediscount facilities of the Fed
eral Reserve Banks will be open to
member banks in the event of the
funds being recalled.
The Treasury Department advises
banks gradually to acquire these short
term . certificates equal to their total
anticipated subscriptions by them and
their depositors to the next issue of
liberty loans.

FOUR CAMPS TO REOPEN
Work in Woods Will Xot Be Generally
Resumed Till I Lain Comes.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. E. (Spe
cial.) Four logging camps will resume
operations this week after having been
closed for nearly two months by the
strike. Operators, however, eay that
no general effort to resume work in
the woods will be made until after the
first heavy rains. This is because the
woods are very dry, making fire dan
gers acute.

of the Chebalis County Logging & Tim
ber Company, and one each of the Alo
hc. Lumber Company an-" National Lum
ber Company. Wilson Brothers and the
Hulbert mills reported today that they
were turning men away. The Dono
