thirty bombs, completely destroying
the enemy's position with resultant
heavy loss of life.
Dirigibles had previously been used
for reconnoitering and a few bombs
had been dropped but this was the
first instance in the history Of the
world where they were used at
length as war machines and kept at
the task until an entire camp had been
wiped out.
No particulars Of the loss Of life
have been received other than the la
comic statement by the Italian military
commander that it was very heavy"
The Turks tried to utilize their field

shrapnel but they could not get
enough elevation and the explosives
fell far short.

The primary reason for preserving this
lowland along the river as parkway
is "A sanitary measure to insure the clean
liness of the river, which is rapidly be-
coming polluted and would in time become
a menace to the entire valley. Secondly
the parkway will have a great aesthetic
value. and will of course tend to increase
realty values through the Harlem valley
The commission which has brought the
parkway plans TO their present successful
adoption and which will continue in the
work of purchasing the necessary lands
is unusual in that it is without political
influence.
Several substantial donations of land
have been secured, while options on con-
siderably more have been obtained at
prices far below market value. The COM
mission does not intend to condemn any
parcels at present, but to purchase from
year to year such as may be bought at
reasonable prices. 1t is estimated that the
total cost Of land will be $4,000. About
Is per cent of the parkway area is in

of the cost.
