THE GERMAN ZEPPELIN WORKS
Are Well Protected by Anti-Balloon
Cannon and Guns.

Friedericshafen, Germany, Nov. %
Elaborate German precautions for
an emergency were responsible for
tallure OF raid of three English avi-
atorsN who yesterday swooped down
upon this city with the object Of de-
stroylng the Zeppelin balloon works.
Antl-aeroplane cannon and machine
guns brought down one of the ma
chimes and put the others to flight.
The British airmen first were seen
above Constance at o'clock in the
afternoon and their presence imme-
diately was announced to authorities
at Friedericshafen by phone. When
they appeared at Fredericshafen the
anti-balloon cannon and machine
guns Immediately opened fire. The
Englishmen circled above the balloon
hall for some time and dropped six
bombs. Two Of them came so near
the building as to cause tremor Of
apprehension. Two others struck
houses in the city, damaging them
severely, killing a man and wounding
a woman.
One Of the flyers attempted to
cross the hall at a height Of only a
quarter Of a mile. Bullets from
guns on the top Of the buildings,
however, pierced the aeroplane gaso-
line tank and the pilot was forced to
glide to earth. On reaching the
ground he tried to defend himself
with a revolver, but was captured af-
ter receiving a slight wound. The
point where the aeroplane landed was
only 300 feet from the Zeppelin hall
The wounded man is being treated
at Il local hospital.

Bum $40 Does Good Work.

A dispatch from Athens, Ga, says:
Martin J. Abney, of this city, has

nobody has lost anything, as it, by

EUROPE WANTS THE COTTON.
Senator Smith Says the Only Thing
Needed is Ships to Move 1t.

Columbia, Nov. Ex-senator e. ID.
Smith, in an interview here, discuss
ed the cotton situation as regards
foreign trade. He said that in view
of the fact that England, as we'll as
other countries at war, have declared
cotton to be non-contraband, "it
SONS that the situation would be
greatly relieved if the American gov
within its power to obtain vessels for
transporting cotton to the different
countries"
Senator Smith announced that he
had received several letters from
foreign correspondents bearing on
the cotton situation. The CORES
pondents from Germany advised that,
in spite OF the war, Germany would
probably consume as much American
cotton as ever, if not more. If the
supply could be obtained, she certain
ly would use as much. The Russian
pondent indicated that, were
transportation facilities obtainahle,
Russia also would use her usual
quota Of American cotton.
81 intend to use these letters" said
Senator Smith, "before tie proper
authorities in Washington, in order
to expedite the perfection of trans
portation facilities"
"A rather significant statement in
the letter from Germany is the one
to the effect that one Of the causes of
restricted purchases OF cotton here
was the American exporters refusing
to accept purchases on 60 and 90
days, as heretofore, but this is also
modified by the statement in the
same paragraph to the effect that am
pie funds are available If the cotton
could be gotten at all. / certainly
hope that, with persistent and prop
erly directed effort, the sale and con-
sumption OF our cotton will not be SO
greatly restricted as appears would
be the case"

Gets Kicks Instead of ValuabIes.

Columbus, Ga, Nov. 22.-Late
last night, as w. o. Spinks, busi-
ness man, was waiting for a street
car on East Highlands a tall man,
with the collar Of his overcoat pulled
up, approached him, threw a pistol
in his face and told him to surrender
his valuables. Spinks replied stern
ly that he was an officer Of the law,
and demanded that the other turn
over his pistol to him. AS the other
hesitated Spinks overpowered him,
took the weapon from him, threw 1t
in ditch nearby and then gave the
wplrld-be highwayman a sound kick

Russian and the German official re-
ports suggest that Gen. Won Hinden-
burg's second thrust at Warsaw has
been checked.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander
in-chief Of the Russian forces, for
two days in succession has recorded
partial successes, and tonight the
German general star says the arrival
of Russian reinforcements has post
poned a decision.
Both sides have expressed the
greatest confidence in the outcome.
Grand Duke Nicholas and Gen. Won
Hindenburg heretofore have been
so successful in their strategy that
their adherents look upon them al
most as unbeatable.
Turkey Claims Victories.
Turkey, as usual, reports victories
over the Russians in the Caucasus
and the British in Egypt, but these
lack confirmation. The English to-
night issued an account Of success
full British operations in the Persian
Gulf. The same statement told of
the defeat Of a British force sent
against German East Africa.
Germans Plan Drive In West.
While undertaking immense tasks
in the east, the Germans, according
to all accounts, are preparing to
launch another offensive movement
in the west. Just where this is to
be is known by the general staff
alone. 1t is believed here they will
make another effort to get through
to the French coast and perhaps at
the same time try to force the line
of French fortresses in the Argonne
region.
The Germans have been violently
bombarding Ypres, in Flanders, So
issons, in the Aisne, and Rheims,
while they have been attacking in
force in the Argonne region. The
French claim the Argonne assaults
have ben repulsed, while the Ger
mans say they have been gaining
ground steadily.
Any or all Of this activity may be
intended to divert attention from the
quarter in which the supreme attack
will be made, but the allies are sure
to discover soon where they must
expect the next blow. To ward the
possibility of the Germans again try
ing to move along the coast the Brit
ish fleet has been bombarding their
positions from the sea.

A Disappointing Discovery
Sammy, you shall not go fishing
today shouted Mrs Brown from
the doorway.
But Sammy went on his way. He
soon arrived at the bank Of the
stream, threw his line IN and waited.
Soon there was a nibble, and Sammy
jerked the line out. There was
nothing on the end of it so he threw
it in again.
Sammy lay back on the bank and
closed his eyes. The day was per-
feet, and a day dream seemed to fit
in with the sky, the trees, and the
tleecy white clouds. Sammy was
soon far away from the creek, and
the fishing lire was forgotten. But
soon a slight pull on the line brought
Sammy from his dream world, and
he hauled in the line. Soon it re-
sisted, and Sammy's heart beat hope.
fully. as he remembered the large
fish caughj not long before by Mr.
Jones.
Sammy jerked a little harder, but
the line still held. Then he planted
his feet firmly on the bank. clasped
the pole in both hands. and pulled.
The line slowly yielded and the fish
was his. He jerked the line from
the water, but as the end came in
view, Sammy saw, not his hoped for
fish, but a tin can in a mass of
weeds.
