Experts Think This Only Preliminary Attack to Feel Out the
City's Defenses Preparatory to Greater Raid-Machines
- Fly High and Cannot Be Seen 26 Killed and Property
1 Loss $100,000 Italians Land Division of Infantry and
Several Batteries of Artillery at Avlona
Paris, Jan. Though Zeppelin raiders on Saturday
night reaped a toll of 26 dead and 32 injured in their drive
against Paris, they failed to do any damage in a fresh
raid at 10 o'clock last night as far as is known.. Author
ities announced today that 10 incendiary bombs had been
thrown in the second raid, that six of these fell in an open
field in a suburb, while others landed in the vicinity of a
factory but exploded harmlessly.
Air patrols attacked the raiders, but they soared out
to the northward and escaped in a heavy mist. The Ger
man airships rode so high that searchlights were unable
to pick them out in the fog, only the hum of the engines
and the flare of the fire bombs told of their presence.
The newspapers voiced the anger of the Donulace to
day at these new attacks after
such raids. Moreover, they demanded that the French
make reprisals, for the killing and wounding of more
than 50 in the Saturday attack, by raiding large German
cities. At the same time, they renewed the warning that
Zeppelins, accompanied by the new Fokker machines, may
swoop down at any time. Experts declared that the Sat
urday and Sunday night raids were to "feel out" the de
fenses of the city, preparatory to greater raids.
Though earlier reports placed the dead in Saturdav
night's raid at 24, official announcement today said that
26 were killed and 32 wounded, with a property loss of
aiuu,uuu.
Parisians for the most part only learned of the Sunday
attack when the story thereof appeared in the news
papers. The "lights out" warning was sounded by firemen at
9:50 p. m., while boulevards, theatres and restaurants
were crowded. At once the street lamps were extin
guished, and were not again lighted until 90 minutes later.
Several hours later the police learned of the pursuit of
the Zeppelins over the suburbs.

President's Speech Hslns
Weaken Stock Market
(Copyrighted 1H1I5 by the Xew York
Evening Post.)
Xew York, Jan. 31 There is no rea
son to doubt that today's sharp break
in the stock market was primarily the
result of President Wilson's remarks
Saturday at Cleveland regarding the
dangers with which the I'nited States
would be immediately threatened by a
war. The president certainly said noth
ing but what a good many others in
ami out of Wall Street have been saying
for the past six months, but it was the
fai t that he chose this moment, and
said it with a seemingly ominous em
phasis, that, upset the market.
Prices declined at the opening from
a half point to a point on active issues,
with a subsequent further decline of a
point in the forenoon on heavy selling.
It was difficult to determine how much
of the weakness was due to bear
activity.

Buy Lands For Their Children
Bora In This Country, Have
Guardians For Them
Sacramento, Cal., .Tan. .'!!. That
Japanese have dug up a scheme to
circumvent the California alien land
act is shown in an opinion by Attorney
General Webb.
It appears that Japanese who are
alien subjects of the emperor of Japan
have been purchasing real estate in the
name of their citizen children and
since the law prohibits them from hav
ing any interest in real estate, are hav
ing guardians named for their children.
Of such transactions Webb says:
"If it should appear that the alien
father furnished money to purchase
real property in the name of his citizen
children and that the transaction was
not in good faith, but so effected for
the purpose of defeating and circum
venting the Alien Land act, the prop
erty so purchased would escheat to the
state and the fact that such property
is held by a guardian other than the
natural father would not alter this
result.
"It iiiust be borne in mind, however,
that a citizen of the United States ami
of this state has the right to purchase,
enjoy and transfer real property with
in the state and this right cannot be
denied him by reason of the fact that
his parents are alien subjects of the
emperor of Japan. Jf a purchase of
real property within this state is made
by a child "of such subject who was
born within the state, his parents being
neither transients or employed by the
Japanese embassy or government at
the time of the child's birth and such
purchase is made in good faith with the
child '8 own funds and not for the pur
pose of circumventing the alien land
act, the titlo to such property rests in
the child."

able bodied male students in the hid
schools of tho state will be recommend

Victor Zednick, of Seattle, the house

which the commission will make to th'
governor. This report will be filed May
1 next.
"Militnry training in the hied'
school'. of the state will be recommend
ed for boys in the first and second
years." said Zednick. "Of coursw th
commission cannot take any action be
vond making this recommendation. T
remains with the legislature to net. It
will take legislative action and T )
lieve that the recommendations of our

ful consideration.
"A uniform militnry education
should in my opinion be rmrt of the
curriculum of the high schools and I
believe the training should be made
compulsory."

Washington, Jan. 31. That the sub

At one o'clock no word of the miss

flotilla while 50 mill's from Charleston.
Afterward, when the flotilla crept up
to ( harlestoa harbor, the K-j was miss

believe that all of her 2S crew were not
there, but that perhaps some had gone
with other vessels of the flotilla.

San Francisco, Jan. SI. Four of the
principal cities of China have fallen

of the Chinese Republic Journal today.
He named these cities as Sui Chow Fu,
Lu Chow, Tse Liu Tsing and Cheng Tu,
the latter the principal city of the
Sze Churn province.
An entire division of Emperor Yuan
Shi Kai's troops were reported routed
at Chung King, capital of Sze Chuen
province, after the republicans had in

The republican army was said to have

"lie has beaten mother for 2o years.
Today he was more brutal th in usual.
I couldn't stand it. I got his big re

As the result of breaking of the Lower Otay dam and
of the floods elsewhere in the county, about 25 are esti

United States marines are on guard there. Bands of
Mexicans Sunday looted houses and stores there, result

The Morena, Sweet Water, Cuyamaca and Upper Otay
dams are safe, advices from all four points early today
showed. Water, pouring from the huge watersheds into
these dams, is being carried off by the spillways, and city
officials were confident today that the dams, of more
modern construction than the Lower Otay which went
out, will withstand the floods.
San Diego has raised a relief fund of $25,000 to date.
Hundreds of dollars worth of clothing and bedding was
