Details of the Daring
Attack Made by Air
men Hovering Over
Friedrichshafen
ONE MACHINE IS
FORCED TO EARTH
German Gunire Brings One of the
Raiders, British Naval Officer, to
the Ground-Several Persons Killed
in the Raid

Geneva, Via Paris, Nov. "a, 12.40
A, M.-Details of the aeropiane raid
on Friedriehshafen have been received
here from Romanshorn Swiss town
eleven miles from Constance. From
this account it appears that two
French and two English aviators, the
former mounted on monoplanes and the
latter on biplanes, arrived above Fried
richshafen at / clock Saturday aft
ernoon, flying at great speed and keep
ing at great height. Suddenly two
of the machines planed down to about
400 yards above the city and, amidst a
hail of shells and bullets from six
quick -frers worked by the n~of the
Bavaran regiment, circled about for
half an hour, during which they threw
about ten bombs in the vicinity of the
Zeppelin she'd One of these bombs
struck home, destroying part of the
shed and some machinery therein. 1t
is reported that one of the largest Yep
pelips, which was ready to be launched,
was badly damaged, but the Germans
deny this.
The thousand or more workmen EN-
ployed about the place were at dinner
when the raid occurred or the loss of
life would have been greater than it was.
One house was destroyed by the bombs
and several persons were killed, includ-
ing two soldiers.
The gunfire of the German soldiers
brought one of the aviators to earth
with his machine. He proved to be a
British naval officer. The three other
machines disappeared, but one of them,
supposed to be manned by the other
Englishman, is reported to have fallen
into the lake and the aviator was
drowned. Another report says the sec
ond machine was forced to land in
Wurttemberg. In any event, only two
machines were seen later flying toward
Belfort, which is 125 miles in a direct
line from the Zeppelin establishment.
The raid is said to have caused much
anxiety in Friedrichshafen. The num-
ber of quick -frers has been doubled
and all foreigners, it is said, have been
expelled, as it is believed spies gave
the information that another Zeppelin
had been completed The lake is being
searched for the aviator who has not
been accounted for.
The British Official report on the air
raid at Friedfichshafen, as announced
in the House of Commons yesterday by
Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord
of the Admiralty, declared that only
three aeroplanes, all manned by Eng
lishmen, took part in the raid Mr..
Churchill announced that one of the
aeroplanes was brought down by the
German gun fire and that the aviator,
Commander L. F. Briggs, of the naval
air service, was wounded and was ta-
ken to hospital prisoner. The other
machines, with their aviators, returned
safely to French territory, he said.

GUILTY OF MISDEMEANOR
Prosecution Fails to Convict Henry
Siegel of Larceny

Geneseo, Nov. 24.-The jury in the
Supreme Court here, where Henry Siegel
has been on trial for grand larceny
since November 8, found him guilty of
misdemeanor in obtaining credit on
false financial statements. The offense
is a violation of Section 1898 of the
Penal law passed in 1912. In finding
a verdict on this charge the jury took
a course outlined by Justice Clark in
his final instructions.
Justice Clark said he had serious
doubts as to the validity of the grand
larceny case and permitted the jury to
find Siegel guilty of the less serious
offense.

MONDAY EVENING,

of prosperity which was erected
| through Republican administration
and the wholesome legislation Of
statesmen who knew their job.
There is constantly rising tide of
opposition to further trial of the
, party that has done its utmost to
wreck the business and industries of
the United States. Breaking faith
with the people and with fatuous in
difference to all the principles which
should govern the conduct of great
| nation. the administration at WASH
ington has blundered on regardless of
consequences.
Men of all parties-business men,
working men, professional men-are
determined now that the power to do
further damage shall cease and unless
all the signs of the times are at fault
the Democratic party is about to feel
the heavy hand of public disapproval.
Assuming that President Wilson and
his advisers have proceeded along
honest lines, they have nevertheless
shown utter incapacity for dealing
with the great problems which are
incidental to the administration Of q
great government. They have been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting.

BRYAN AND WILSON IN MEXICO

Philadelphia Public Ledger.1
Veracity seems not to be Huerta's s
chief attribute. Men of all nationali-
ties have been fighting under Villa,
soldiers of fortune from Germany,
England, France, Italy and the United
States. 1t may even be that some of
them wore discarded American uni
forms. The assumption, however. that
any American regular troops fought at
Torreon Is too preposterous to admit
or serious comment.
Huerta touches sore spot, how
ever. when he declares that "auxiliary
services, hospital trains. everything
has been supplied by the Americans
to the rebels They have; that is
what the lifting of the embargo meant,
nut the supplies came not from the
American government, but from Ameri-
can dealers. Our Secretary of State
has boasted in his personal periodical
that the administrations policy in lift
ing the embargo made the victory at
Torreon possible. The Villa movement
did not become formidable until our
arsenals were opened to it. We rec
ognized the Constitutionalists, in effect.
as belligerents.
IL is, 1t appears, the avowed policy
of the administration now to extricate
itself from the Mexican muddle
through the success of the Consti-
tutionalists. They have the moral sup
port of the government. Every victory
they achieve is hailed with delight in
Washington. They are expected to
drive Huerta out and save us from
that duty. Our policy is essentially
based on the physical power of Villas 8
army. The Constitutionalists are amply
provided with the munitions of war:
our diplomacy and our fleet deprive
Huerta of all supplies. The contest ia
thus made one-sided and the ultimate
downfall of the dictator is assured.

To learn how others run their biz,

To run his business profitably
And make the most he can.

To take advantage Of because
They'll meet with great big men
In other towns, from whom they can
Perhaps learn much, and then
They'll help to give this town boost
