KARLSRUHE, Via Berlin and The Hague, June (Dolayed)--Sirens were blowing, bells ringing and inhabitants hurrying to shelter at a second aerial alarm aB my train arrived here this morning from Berlin. In the distance I heard the quick thunder of many guns.

"It's a second attack," we were told at tbe station. This time, instead of staying in rain of bombs at Karblrulic, lived In Lincoln lor iiiuiij years, leaving about ton yours ago to make her home ut Grand Junction, Colo She moved for sake of a nephew whonc health was bad.

AS SECRETARY OF STATE, LANSING PLEASES WILSON; MAY BE RETAINED The guns' roar became nolnier and two German aeroplanes flew verv low over the city in sweeping circles, reconnoitering and on watch for enemy airmen. In the air raid on Karlsruhe on Tuesday, twenty-seven persons were killed and sixty wounded.

I came here from Berlin to investigate the report that Americans were among the wounded. I found of them here, unhurt but badly frightened at this sudden attack upon an open town. Mrs. M. Valentine, 333 Eighteenth New York, with her two babies, was terror-stricken when a bomb exploded with a great roar in the rear of her residence.

She asked me to inquire what had become of a passport she demanded two months Chapman, anstracter. Punke Bldg. WHIN TWO MONTHS ago. She is eager to return to her husband, a postoffice clerk. Dr.

Joseph Adler, a Boston dentist, was fifty feet away from the spot where several bombs exploded. The concussion broke all the windows in the houses around him. "When the sirens sounded the second attack his family hurried into a cellar. In Sophienstraasse, I met Miss Martha Klingman, of Ann Arbor, a student here. She said she was awakened early Tuesday when a bomb exploded only fifty feet from her bed room windows.

In another section of Karlsruhe I met I. Krumdick of Grand Junction, formerly a German and French teacher to Mrs. William J. Bryan, at Lincoln, who lives only seventy yards from a police station. All the windows in this neighborhood were broken by one of the explosives hurled by the French airmen.

Passing through Herrenstraasse I noted that men doffed their hats and ladies bowed as an automobile approached, bearing the venerable Dowager Grand Duchess of Baden, aunt of the kaiser, and her daughter, the Queen of Sweden. They were traversing the city to see the damage done by the raiders. Neither of the princesses WAS hurt, but a dozen bombs fell in the garden of the Grand ducal castle, smashing seventy of the castle windows. The damage from the air raid of Tuesday was not as heavy as I expected. I found no bouses or buildings in ruins.

Apparently the walls of public buildings had been the aviators' principal targets. Windows were smashed in the railway and other public buildings and some bombs fell near the railway station, but as if by a miracle the beautiful modern buildings escaped. Even the sidewalks in front of the buildings were not damaged. Max Goehr, of Boston and Beatrice Lauer Kotlar, the German-American singer, -were here during the raid, but neither came -within the bomb zone Today-Karlsruhe was to have brated a bicentennial jubilee. But festivities have been called off and a mourning ceremonial, for-the victims of the air raid arranged for tomorrow.

The American colony will participate. -Well Known in Lincoln. Krurodich who Is mentioned I3xpor( tern Will Be Cleared fp Without Intervention, DALLAS, June in Mexico within two months, and that without intervention, was the prediction today of Dr. M. H.

Carrick, sanitarian, engaged by the' three Mexican factions to clean up Mexico from a health standpoint. While the doctor would not disclose what representatives of the factions had told him in a conference in New York a few days pince. it was apparent that he had received optimistic advices. Certain it is from his statement that the three factions have at least agreed that typhus, smallpox and diseases of vice must be wiped out of Mexico. This task has already started.

Carrick's assistants from the American medical society have gone fonvard while he himself is delayed here because of his mother's serious illness. He expects, however, to go to San Francisco shortly, there to complete with other Mexican leaders, plans for one of the biggest sanitary campaigns in history. Typhus, he explained, is raging in northern Mexico around Matamoras. Conditions arc like Serbia's though on a smaller scale. Smallpox, ever present in the republic south of the Rio Grande, is increased by poor sanitation and lack of food.

Diseases of vice are decimating the population by scores and scores. To rid the republic of these scourges is Carrick's task. Representatives of the three warring factions have put up a joint cash guarantee for his work, leading to the belief that under the surface they are working in harmony --or will soon do so. Carrick plans besides his sanitation campaign a health education campaign. "I expect to make Mexico so he told the United Press, "that two-thirds of her doctors can take a permanent vacation." While President Wilson has not divulged his plans with reference to the post of secretary of state, it is known that he is highly pleased the work Robert is doing In the chair made vacant by Bryan's resignation.

Lansing and Wilson are in full accord so far as questions pertaining to foreign relations are concerned. Official Washington will not be surprised if Lansing is permanently retained in the cabinet.

An answer has been flled by the state of Nebraska in district court in the matter of the appeal of the Western Life Accident company of Denver from the state insurance board.

The latter refused to grant the applicant license to do business in Nebraska 'and an appeal was taken to this court. In its answer the state admits that the company was licensed to do business in Nebraska for the years 1908 to 1913, inclusive and was refused a license for the year beginning May 1, 1914. It is alleged, however, that during the six years that it was licensed to do business in this state the company paid only twenty-tour per cent of the amount collected by it from its patrons and those insured by it in the settlement of losses. The state declares that during the period mentioned more than seventy per cent of the receipts of the com- than losses on policies. Another charge is that the company has at no time tendered or offered tor the inspection of the state board of- insurance any policies which comply with the terms of the law now in Jorce in this state regulating insurance policies.

Finally, it is claimed that the company has failed and refused to make any provision for the establishment a reserve fund to meet the persistent policy claims on policies issued by it, in conformity with the requirements the insurance board and the law.

Mr. Doyle pleaded that the man be allowed to go to a hospital and declared that if he were not allowed to do so he would not live over night. The attorney stated that he had paid $100 to "defend the man and he was willing to go on his bond for that amount, so Judge Cornish consented to let him go. Wilson remained at the hospital for a short time and then disappeared.

He has not since been seen. The sisters stated that they had not been instructed that the man was a prisoner and the official were not notified of his departure until several days after he left. Mr. Doyle insisted that the man would be on hand for trial, but he was not, and the bond was declared forfeited. wa, but VL IUO of those narrowly escaping thejpany were paid out for expenses other Mother Inntinct.

At the close of his talk before a Sunday school the bishop invited questions. A tiny boy, with a white, eager face, at once held up his hand. "Please, sir," said he, "why was Adam never a baby?" The bishop coughed in doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl, the eldest of several brothers and sisters, came promptly to his aid. "Please, sir," she added, srnartlv, "there was nobody to nuss him." LAUNCH NEW SEA MONSTER SURE. Bo you play ball? What nine?

Arizona I Wntcr i Cuntoninry NEW YORK, June 19--Christened by both champagne and water, the latter from the first spillings over the dam, Uncle Sam's newest and greatest superdreadnought, the ton Arizona, left her wooden cradles and glided into the waters of the East river at a few minutes after 1 o'clock today. As Miss Esther Ross, the pretty sponsor from the state after which ihe new sea fighter is named, broke bottles of wine and water over the chip's bow, a band struck up the national anthem and fifty thousand spectators wildly cheered. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Governor George W.

P. Hunt, of Arizona, with theJr staffs, Secretary of Labor Wilson, Mayor Mitchel. Senator O'Gorman and other notables, witnessed the launching of the giant ship. Governor Hunt personally brought the water from his native state in a big demijohn. It was originally planned to use only water as Arizona is a prohibition state, but both the "wets" and "drys" were satisfied when it was announced that wine and water would divide honors in christening the great ship.

The Arizona is the thirty-ninth battleship built for the American navy since 1893. Tbe first fighting boat was the Indiana. Compared with the Arizona the Indiana would appear as a row boat beside a steam yacht. Tbe Arizona will be nearly twice as long as the Indiana, half again as wide and of three times as great displacement. There is also noted a great difference in the armament of the two warships.

While the Indiana had four 13-inch and eight 8-inch guns the Arizona is to have twelve 14-inch and twenty-two 5-inch. The guns are also greater in calibre, those of the Indiana being thirty-five as compared with forty-five which will be mounted on the Arizona.

Attorney General Reed who has been in Washington since June 13 will present an argument on the general situation.

It will Following the launching of the Arizona today the keel is to be laid for the electrically driven super-dreadnought California. The California will be an entirely new experiment in naval construction.

"The Queen of the Seas." was the title given the Arizona by Secretary of the Navy Daniels in an address be- fore the launching. "The purpose for which she exists is protection of ihe American said Daniels. "The Arizona is the latest addition to a fleet whose purpose is to be the right arm of American defense in case of attack by a foreign foe. It is a consummation devoutly to be wished that the Arizona may never be attacked but if she is, we believe she will give a good account of herself." Daniels compared the new ship to two previous Arizonas, of civil war times, declaring the vessel launched today was a leviathan, comparatively. He said the big dreadnought would carry fifty-three officers and 927 men.

and fire 16,800 pounds of metal, over eight tons, at a single broadside from her twelve fourteen inch guns aione. He called attention to four aeroplane guns with which she will be equipped.

"Eleven great battle ships thus coning into our navr make a gratifying show of progress." Daniels said.

GOVERNOB CHOOSES HANSOM Him Public Defender for Douglas Comity.

Frank T. Ransom, a distinguished corporation attorney of Omaha, has been appointed publi.c defender of Douglas county. Governor Morehead wished this diminutive office upon Mr Ransom without his knowledge. It is not yet known whether Mr. Ransom will accept the duties and the $1,200 salary.

He is now and has been for many years attorney for the Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha. He has found time during his service with this company to serve a term or two in the state senate. Mr. Ransom had recommended the appointment of a young man, Ralph M. West, but the governor took a notion to confer the apointment upon Mr.

Ransom himself. If he accepts he may have authority to appoint Mr. West to perform the duties of the office. The public defender is a new office created by the last legislature. The law applies only to Douglas county.

The defender now appointed will hereafter elected, so the present appointee can serve until the election in 1916 when he is to be chosen for a term of four years. The governor was asked if he thought Mr. Ransom would serve and replied: "He should. What, right has he to refuse? This is a new law and the best attorney is none too good. As I see these unfortunate beings in their cells without friends, money or even clothes, I feel that they should have the best legal assistance it is possible for them to be given, and I know Mr.

Ransom has these qualifications." The governor was asked if Mr. Ransom was a candidate and who had endorsed him. "No," he replied, "he was not a candidate and nobody endorsed him. I know him to be a man who is fully qualified. He has no more of a right to refuse to serve than some of the rest of us who are serving the public with but little pay.

Mr. Ransom took a very active part in getting this law passed and has taken an interest in the candidacy of a young man desired the appointment. I do not know this young man but I do know Mr. Ransom and I believe that he is public spirited enough and a good enough citizen that he will accept this appointment. If it were in my power.

I would compel him to. should he refuse, just as I would any other man who is able to give part of his time to the ALLIES UP AGAINST TASK A I I I.NSl'HMOL'.NTABLE OH STACLJKS MAR WAY TO VICTOIIV.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June Telegraph to Berlin and The Hague, thence by Mail to New allies' attack upon the Dardanelles faces practically insurmountable obstacles. This is the consensus of opinion in well informed circles here, where it is believed that unless some unexpected factor develops the campaign to force the strait is doomed to defeat. The Turks have perfected a system of movable batteries which not only prevent the Anglo-French fleet from locating their constantly moving posi- but enable the defenders to maneuver their guns rapidly to meet every attack by the battleships. Though the bombardment from the fleet is absolutely appalling, it does lit- tle damage.

The biggest shells seldom kill more than two men at a tiiue. They tear great holes in the earth in which iho Turks' troops hide successfully until the bom bard ID en ends. These holes offer rnoie protection than the ordinary trenches and this explains why the allies' artillery bombardment, preceding infantry attacks, proves ineffective. The moment the bombardment ceases, the Turks leap from the protecting craters and repulse the enemy charges. I know personally that the entire Gallipoli peninsula literally bristles with nearly 1,000 guns of the largest caliber.

The Turks seemingly have almost inexhaustible resources of men. Recruits arrive here daily from all parts of the empire. Military and naval attaches to the various embassies here tell me that the submarine fleet which Turkey now has is sufficient to prevent the passage of both the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, regardless of their other defenses. Although English submarines have entered the Sea of Marmora, they cannot reach the principal nmts of the Turkish fleet which are kept moored behind impassable barriers.
