GERMANS WORRIED BY
BRITISH AERIAL PLANS
ZURICH, Oct. 30.—That Great
Britain's decision to bomb German
cities and towns in reprisal for air
raids on London and other English
cities and towns Is having a sober
ing effect in Southern Germany is In
dicated by the Muenchener Post,
which says that air attacks on open
I towns have proved, quite apart from
' moral estimates, that this mode of
: warfare will be the means of stiffen-'
I ing. rather than breaking the deter-1
: initiation of the people.
I The newspaper sayR this applies to'
nil ’lie belligerents and that it would
i he a matter for rejoicing if all of
them would agrpe "no longer to make
'this fearful world catastrophe still
Imore horrible through the slaughter
of defenseless persons.”

I thorities, it was stated.
The dead are Hans Freilicli and
I.Haymond Heinisch.
L Their bodies were recovered yes
jterday. The three who successfully
j negotiated the swollen stream are

GRAIN INSPECTION
WILL BE DEMANDED
OLYMPIA, Oct. 30.—It 1b expected
that some time this week the federal
government will enter the order re
quiring all grain intended for milling
be inspected. The state public service
commission which t]as charge of the
state grain depart/nent is much in
terested In this and wants the work
of inspection under its jurisdiction
and is willing ot undertake the task
The enforcement of the federal in
stead of state grades means much
additional work for the inspectors.
At present, as grain and hay do not
have to be inspectrl tlie work of the
inspector comes spasmodically and if
the work is to be done the state wants
to do it. Otherwise it may be forced
to abandon the inspection depart
ment. Such is the situation set forth
in a letter to M. H. Houser, of Port
land, the federal representative on
the Pacific (’oast.
