LOCAL DOCTORS LEAVE
FOR THE WAR SCENES

DIR. L. a. D'Argy and DR.. A. U. Des-
jardins left Thursday night for New
York from which point they will en-
bark for France on the steamer New
York" DIR. Desjardins will, upon his
arrival in Paris, enter into service with
the French Army surgeons in the
American Hospital of that city. which
institution was turned over to the
French at the outbreak of the present
war. DR.. darcy has already served
five years in the French army and is
therefore freed from further service by
compulsion. He goes to Fance in ex-
pectation of an early return to Ameri-
co. However If his services are seri-
ously needed his determination is to
Immediately become enrolled. His an
ticipation of speedy return to home
and friends is based on the belief that
General Joffre, Commanders in Chief of
the French army, is executing a coup
which will go so far to guarantee
French security that extra reservists
will not be needed for the protection
of France. Though 1t is impossible to
tell how long it will take to accomplish
this feat-at-arms DR.. darcy is of the
opinion that by the time he reached his
mother country it will have been at

SECOND AERIAL
ATTACK ON THE
CITY OF ANTWERP
Demonstrates Futility of Ger
man Attack with Zeppelins
By Night

London, Sept 2, e. P. M.)-The Ant
werp correspondent of the Central
News describes the second aerial raid
on Antwerp by a German Zeppelin,
which he said occurred just before
dawn. The bombardment he explain
ed, demonstrated from a military point
of view the futility of the German 5
efforts to do any damage of import
ance His description of the aerial
bombardment follows:
Il was awakened by a rattle of rifle
fire from neighboring roofs and the
crash of exploding bombs Hurriedly
descending, I was just in time to see
the airship disappearing southwark at
a tremendous height There was in
cessant rattle of shots from rifles and
machine guns from the darkened town
and shrapnel could be seen exploding
like meteorites in the trail of the fly
of vantage on the high buildings
spurts of flame indicated the efforts of
the firers to bring down the hated
Zeppelin.
1T is believed the Zeppelin drifted
over the city with the aid of brisk
wind, so that, with her en-
gines almost silent. she was able to
work unopposed. There was no panic
in the city, the people remaining in
doors until dawn, when they gathered
in small groups on the street corners
to discuss the outrage"

will cope with these obligations was

his eagerness to meet all the church
officials, obviously that he might inn
mediately become actively engaged in
the church administration and work.

Mr.. Booker estimates the total value
of the property stolen as between $50
and 500. Among the articles missing
are fine gold watch, the worth of

nearly as can be ascertained entrance
to the house was obtained via the
back porch and through a window
which happened to be unlocked. The
porch in mention is completely screen
ed in and is used for sleeping pur-
poses during the summer months, but
it is believed that the burglar or burg
lars managed to open the screen door
and thus gain access to the window
which was unlocked but not open.
AS before stated the authorities
have been notified and all possible
effort is being made to apprehend
the offenders, though the situation is
extremely difficult owing to the en-
tire lack of any kind of clue. The
chief hope of recovering any of the
property and of discovering the Grim

the disposal of this watch may make

recovery of the missing. property.

other than the Identification of the

Chronicle in an editorial and on the
Belgian mission to the United States,
makes this comment:
THE sending of the Belgian mission
to the United States seems a we'll jus
tilted step, for obviously the United
States has a definite though difficult
responsibility toward the civilized
world in this matter. The observance
of the international rules of war can
only be enforced by the action of neu-
trail states.
The United States has always pro-
fessed special interest in human in
ternationalism. In the face of the Ger
man governments frank violation of
nearly every article in The Hague .on-
vention, what is the United States go
ing to do?''
