 It seemed like home to have the drill team with us again after few months of absence. The team made a very good impression last night with their excellent work which is due very much to the masterly way it is explained by Sister Sigfried Anderson. The meeting ended with a few lively dances, the kind that have made the Fraternal Brotherhood famous in Phoenix. Who doesn't know about the Fraternal Brother hood dances over Donofrios?
 Next Saturday evening is open night and all good people are in vited to come and meet us.

This burden of insuring the

POPULATION
IN PANIC.
THE Zeppelin at the time of
this appalling incident was almost
stationary in the sky, some seven
hundred feet up. A panic at once
ensuad, and thousands of people
took refuge in their cellars, while
others dashed out into the streets
in their night attire.
Time after time the earth
trembied as the terrible bombs
fell. causing devastation every
where
Truly il was a night of terror,
for the populace through the
hours of tension did not know
from one moment to another that
they might not be blown to
atoms.
Ten bombs struck ten differ
ent streets. One, which fell in
the Rue des Navets, made a hole
six feet six inches in diameter
and twenty-five inches deep. IL
probably was filled with shot, for
all the houses in the vicinity were
riddled by bullets, all the doors
and windows being broken and
the ceilings have fallen in.
1T was calculated that about
nine hundred houses were more
or less damaged and about sixty
houses destroyed. In a single
house four persons were found
dead. Indeed, in one room two
people had been blown to atoms.
Three men were walking in the
Rue de la Corne, when one of the
bombs fell One was killed and
the other two mortally wounded,
while another passer-by had his
leg blow off.
WHAT A BOMB
LOOKS LIKE
All the bombs, which created
terrific explosion, were found
to have been in a steel cover one
and a half inches thick and about
foot in diameter. The Zeppelin
was, of course, fired upon from
the forts with guns and rifles, but
] having launched its deadly mis-
siIes it moved off into the dark
ness.

the proiectiles thrown showed
that they had a double covering,
