A Zeppelin Raid on London

her speed is forty-seyen miles an
hour. With a lifting capacity of eight
and a half tons there is no doubt that
she could carry, besides her crew
of seventeen and supplies. consid-
cradle store of explosives. On one Of
her trials she kept the air for thirty
four hours. Other naval dirigibles
are building, and in course of time
Germany will have a fleet" of LBS.
1t is true that a number of Schuette,
LAM and Parseval airships are avail
able, hut whether they could be used
effectively in a raid on the British
capital is doubtful. II must always
be borne in mind that the dirigible
is a frail ship under storm condi-
tons.
The London Engineer declares that
in the first three weeks Of the war
the zeppelins proved hopeless
failure" They are certainly no Ion
ger dreaded, and this is largely the
case because they are vulnerable 10

much faster and ram the great ships
or pierce their envelopes with rife
and small gun fire. In the event Of
the appearance of a Zeppelin over
London "fiotilla" Of aeroplanes
would be sent after it. The risk of

IRENE, but in war great risks have
! to be taken, and there is no lack OF
volunteers. AT high attitudes the
aeroplanes would attack, while guns
made expressly for The purpose and
mounted on buildings would make a
target of the Zeppelins when they
were within range. The military ex-
perts in London are very confident
that they could deal successfully with
raid by Count Ferdinand. Doubt
less we shall know before many
months pass what The menace Of
bomb carrying dirigibles in force
really amounts to. That some kind
of an experimental raid will be at

They may rest assured It will not be ignored by the
Republican party and the American people.
The Underwood tariff, the producer OF Industrial

POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
From the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
It is pleasant, to Republicans at
least, to note the confidence of Re-.
publican members of Congress in the
anticipated result of the coming cleo
ton.
The published news from the party
headquarters in Washington, Is that
our Senators and representatives are
anticipating Republican control of
both houses of Congress. In MOTTO
ing this report, our big, upstate
Democratic contemporary takes eX-
ception TO the inclusion of Delaware
in the list of Republican States TO
send a Congressman of Republican
principles to Congress at the Novem-
Der election. OF course it objects.
That is the Democratic politics of the
situation. They always object; even
after the ballots are counted.
We listened to a speech the other
evening in which a Republican speak
er urged the election of Thomas w
Miller to Congress as vote of con-
1 fidence sustaining the admirable ad
ministration of Governor Miller.
We think there is something worthy
of serious consideration il that sug-
gestion. Sure it is that the Cover
nor's administration is worthy of the
( highest oommepdation; and sure
is too that Thomas w. Millers re
cord, as Secretary of State, Is as fine
in comparison of the two positions
as is that of his honored father, Gov
ernor Charles r. Miller.
Never is our knowledge of tn
Governors Of this State, and GU
knowledge is coincident with tn
history of the party, has either part
given the State a more admirabl
! Governor, and no Governor has eve
given the State a more admirable &C
ministration.
Because of these things the Reput
licans of the State are to be col
graduated on the political outlook.

The DaFdaneHes
(From the Washington Post)

The abstract right Of the Tur-
kish government TO obstruct the
navigation of the Dardanelles
even TO vessels of war in time of
peace is a serious question. The
right. however, has for a long
time been sanctioned by treaties
between Turkey and certain Eu-
ropean states. A proper occasion
may arise for us to dispute the
applicability of the claim to
United States men-Of-war Mean
while, 1t is deemed expedient to
acquiesce in the exclusion.
Presumably If the Dardanelles and
the Bosphorus are opened to war
vessels, with OF without the consent
of Turkey, the two straits will be
neutralized by international treaty.
But before this occurs IT is possible,
II not indeed probable, that the gates
to the Black Sea will be forced open
by the hand of war. Turkey will
not willingly permit the vessels OF
the allies to enter the Black Sea and
thus secure an advantage over Ger
many and Austria. The opening Of
the straits would mean even more
than this; It would virtually disarm
Turkey itself as an ally of Germany
and Austria.
The pressure for the opening OF
the straits is so strong, however, and
the time for action is 50 opportune
that a crisis may be looked for short

equivalent to a declaration that Rus

condition of affairs. Tho treaties o

the warships of all nations.
The United States doubtless vii
keep out of this quarrel, but its in
terest is Enthusiastically in favor of tn

The turning movement of the AL /
lies north of the Aisne River has pro-
ceeded So gradually, encountering op-
position at every step, that few peO-
ple have realized how steadily it has
been recovering the ground lost
through the original turning move
ment by Won Kluck from the Belgian
border to point east and south of
Paris. When the German retreat
from the Marine Valley halted on the
line of the Aisne the chief pressure
mt bv General Joffre on the exposed
German right wing was felt around
Noyop. There Won Kluck protected
himself by bending his line north at
a right angle and calling up new
army under Won Boehm to meet the
extension of the allied line aimed at
his flank and rear.
Soon the centre OF the flercest fight
ing on the German right shifted
northward to Roye. then to the region
of Ham and Perrone, directly east
of Amiens then TO Albert and Bau-
