Drops Bombs on Paris.
PARIS, September "A German
monoplane dropped more bombs in the
streets of Paris about $40 o'clock last
evening.
The report that the aeroplane had been
brought down by the fire of machine
guns in the outskirts of Paris has not
been confirmed, but it is certain that it
was struck, because it distinctly was
seen to careen before it disappeared

People No Longer Alarmed.
The operations of the German aero
planes over Paris have been watched
with equanimity by the people. The first
day the operations caused some nervous
ness among the women, the second day
it was already an old story. and the
third day they provoked for the most
part sarcastic remarks for the inefi-
cheney of the German Workmanship.

One bomb fell in Rue de Hanovre
near Avenue de La LOpera, without do

"By special order a train with the
first consignment of wounded soldiers

Selo station, where the men were WIS.,
tied by the empress, the heir apparent

watched the transfer of the disabled

taken to the Tsarkoe-Selo Hospital
Most of the men received their
wounds in the fighting near Soldau in

The Chronicles correspondent in Paris
writes: with the Germans SO near. there
has not been a day in the last month
when Paris presented the appearance of
such complete calm. More shops are
open and rows of chairs have appeared
before the chief cafes.
The possibility of a German raid is
very slight. Solitary fortresses may
perhaps be masked, but the attempt to
cut down the Disc valley toward Paris,
except as a trivial raid, without first
routing the masses of the army, is mad
ness

mans have faced eastward and turned
their backs on the British and other
forces gathering in Picardy (an old prov

From Galicia the only news is that a
fierce battle is still raging. The situa-

portion of the RuSsian-Polish govern
ments of Lublin and Kielce 1t advanced
in two independent columns to the
north. one on either side of the river
Vistula. Against the column advancing
on Lublin marched the largest part OF
the third Russian army.
The hostile forces met south of
Lublfn and toward Tomashov, where
the battle announced more than a week
ago is in progress. At the same time
the Russian fourth army crossed the
| eastern frontier of Galicia, and after
a series of minor encounters. in which
it was everywhere victorious. drove
back the considerable Austrian forces
massed there until a general battle en-
sued about thirty miles east of Lem

captured several places where the
Austrians had taken up positions forth

spite of the Austrian stubborn de-
Tense, will bring victory home in this
long sustained and terrible battle, in
which probably more than 100000

That the headquarters will stick to
this plan also when the news is bad is
proved by the announcements of today,

This attitude shows their confidence

the Russian people. which undoubted-
ly is deserved and augurs well for the
