KING GEORGS IS FOR
REPRISAL PROGRAM
LONDON, Not. 7.—The king and
queen paid a surprise visit yesterday
afternoon to one of the bombed dis
tricts of London and talked for two
hours with victims. Speaking to a lo
cal clergyman, the king said:
“I wish people who are against re
i taliation could see this wreckage.”
While admitting the existence of
widespread popular dissatisfaction
! over the apparent immunity with
I which Zeppelins railed England Eri
jday night, a majority of morning pap
i ers take a more sober view than that
I shown by Saturday and Sunday pap
ers. The story of the raid is still ra
ther obscure and no official explana
1 tion has been made of the absence of
.gunfire in the London area or of the
: escape of the raiders from England.
While the raiders were not attacked
by gunfire in London, they were bom
I barded considerably elsewhere and
there is reason to believe that one
was so damaged that it left England
under imperfect control. It is suggest
ed that the authorities had reasonable
grounds for believing that the Zep
pelins would be unable to find Lon
don owing to the darkness and the
height at which they were traveling
aDd the firing of guns and the flash
ing of searchlights only could have re
vealed the targets.

KAHN 8TIR8 SENSATION
BY DRAFT STATEMKN1
WASHINGTOnT^^C., Nov. 7.—
Representative Julius Kahn of Cali
fornia, if he wanted notoriety certain
ly secured it today.
He is a member of the House
Military Affairs Committee and he
said today that if the contemplated
legislation is passed in the next ses
sion of Congress boys from sixteen
to twenty-one and men over thirty
one will be liable to be drafted for
service in the United States Army.
Coming at this junction when
the selective draft even as moder
ately ordained as the present con
scription law is, can hardly be de
scribed as excessively popular, il
Kahn wanted to say something likely
to embitter opposition nothing could
more effectively do so than this state
ment now given to the pubic.
This is really the first intimation
that the public has received that thf
Congress has even been considering
such an extension' of the draft sys
tem and naturally It is stirring u|i
quite a commotion In many circles.
Kahn Is a progressive who was re
elected to the present Congress from
San Francisco despite considerable op
position from democrats and from
old guard republicans. He has been
an ardent associate to Hiram Johnson
in the progressive politics of the Gold
en States.
His statement today has had an
electrical efTect in circles which havt
been in somewhat extensive promin
ence with reference to the draft law
Jenner the Photographer is now in
stalled in his new establishment on
Mc-Klnley, with the latest up-to-date
equipment for all kinds of photogra
phic work, day and night, sunshine
or shade. A thorough technical know
ledge, combined with a quick percep
tion of artistic possibilities has made
the old nerve racking visit to the pho
to gallery. Into a pleasant interview
of just a few moments. Jenner's pho
tos make the most appropriate Xmas
gifts—now is the time to have them
taken. kl2
