Warfare by A;rship Method

London, Aug. 2S.-The method used
by Zeppelin airships in dropping
bombs has been described as follows
by an English refugee. who has just
arrived here from Belgium:
"The dirigible hovers over its OBJ
jective at sufficient altitude to
keep it out of range of the enemy's
guns. At the same time, it lowers
steel cage attached to a steel wire
rope 1000 or 5000 feet long. This
cage is divided into compartments
and it carries one man whose duty it
is to throw down the bombs. The
cage is sufficiently strong to make
rife fire against it ineffective and be-
cause of it's small size and the fact
that it is kept constantly in motion
it is difficult for heavy gun shells to
hit it,

Could Stop European War

New York, Aug. 27.-The United
States government could stop the war
in Europe by placing an embargo on
wheat, -four and other products it was
asserted today at District Attorney
Whitman's investigation into the in.
creased cost of living since the con-
flict began.
James Ward Warner. president of
the New York Produce Exchange,
and George Zabrinskie, resident man.
ager of Minneapolis -four firm, each
said the end of the warfare abroad
must result ii such action were taken.
There was big demand for flour
in foreign countries according to these
witnesses, with heavy demand, too.
in domestic markets. Mr.. Zabrinskie
says there is shortage of 100000
bushels in the Russian wheat crop
and that prudent housewives, fearing
shortage at home, have been lay.
ing in barrels of the product instead
of buying by the bag. with a result
that the price of -four has gone up.

Paris Prepares Defense

Washington, Aug. pa circle of
contry "a miles in length, will be
swept of buildings if the order of the
military governor of Paris that resi-
dents of the zone of action" Of the
French capitals defending forts burn
their own homes in anticipation OF
a siege is correctly interpreted here.
1t is supposed the order refers to the
suburban territory just beyond the
city's second line of defense, COM
posed of II connecting forts.
These are located in wide circle
about two miles outside of the inner
wall which surrounds Paris. They
lie for the most part among famous
suburban towns such as Neuilly, Yer
sailles, Vincennes, and sweep every
approach to the city.
1t is assumed that the governors
order is intended to clear the way in
front of these defenses so that no
protection will be afforded an ad-
vancing enemy.

London, Aug. 29.-The naval en-
gagement yesterday between the
British and Germans off Helgoland
lasted about eight hours, during
which the fighting was sharp and
terrible, according to a dispatch to
the Evening News from Harwich. The

Need German Chemicals

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Every effort
will be made by the United States
government to reopen the way for
importation of German dyes and
chemicals, the lack of which threat
ems to throw million American tex
tile workers out of employment. Rep.
resentative Metz of New York told
secretary Bryan today that without
these colors the government would
be unable to print stamps and cur
rency, as the acid-proof products of
the German plants could not be re-
produced in this country.
A report to the state department
from Frankfort today announced that
the Rhone was open from Frankfort
to Rotterdam so it is hoped the ship
ments from the German plants to the

vessels. If necessary Mr.. Metz may
go to Europe as special representa-
tive of the state department to ar
range for shipment Of the chemicals

BLOCK ROAD TO PARIS
German Advance on French Capital
Will be Trail Of Blood

London, Aug. 2S.-The conflict of
millions appears at last to be in pro-
gress. Even such news as the sink
ing of the German steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse pales beside the
titanic battle evidenced by the tri-
butte of General Joffre, the French
commander-in-chief, to the British
general, and the realization that all
are fighting to block the road to Paris
with the Germans hardly farther
away than New York is from Phila-
delphia.
Meanwhile the Russian force is
drawing closer to Berlin. Not even
during the first great struggle be.
tween Europe and Asia on the far
Manchurian fields, was the enormous
battle fought in such impenetrable ST.
lence, so far as concerns the outer
world.
Only the vaguest reports are given
to the peoples of Great Britain and
France by their respective govern
ments. Probably the German people
know little more of what their armies
al Q
All the information the British pub
lie obtained today was the report
from the French, announced by Pre-
mier AsGuith in the house of COM
mons, that the army was engaged ON
Wednesday against superior force
and fought splendidly, and that he
could not discuss its position and
prospects in the impending battles.
After midnight the official news
bureau gave further Information that
the French operations, covering a dis
tance of 25O miles, necessitated
changes in the position of the British
troops, which are occupying a strong
line supported by the French on both
tanks to meet the German advance.
The impending battle undoubtedly
will be an attempt by the Germans,
with the hugest army ever employed
for swift attack. to hammer it's way
through the allies defensive barrier,
while trying to outflank them between
their left and the seaboard.
