that three shots were fred into the
air by police. and 20 men arrested.
Eight Of the latter were held upon
the charge Of carrying concealed
weapons-knives and bolos. Nobody
was injured except one man. who was
shot by a policeman, later in the
night in another part of the city
when he attacked the policemen with
a bolo.
Movements similar in character oc-
Cured at Novetas. 10 miles from Manila,
where about 10 men assembled and en-
deavored unsuccessfully to loot the mu-
nicipal safe. taking the provisional gov
ernor prisoner. who afterwards escaped
uninjured. Twenty OF the party were
captured by constabularly and municipal
police.
''Ten men with two fire arms in La
guna De Bay attempted to make trouble
last night with no results. Everything is
quiet and vigorous attempts will be made
to secure leaders, chief OF whom is be-
lieved to be man under sentence of
Imprisonment for homicide, who has
jumped his bail.
Nobody of any standing or influence
is concerned in this movement"
The message was signed by Governor
Harrison himself. and therefore officials
took 1t for granted that he had returned
to Manila from an inspection tour which
he has been making OF the islands. As
sistant Secretary Breckenridge said that
Gov. Harrison's report was complete and
that no further requests for information
about the trouble would be made.

London, Dec. 27.-937 F. M.-The Off
cial Press Bureau gave out the fol-
lowing statement today regarding the
British raid on the German coast;
"on Friday, Dec rs. the German
warships lying off Schilling Roads off
Cuxhaven, were attacked by seven
naval planes, piloted by Flight Com
manders Oliver, Hewlett. Boss and

Edwards and uh=Lieutenant Black
burn.
Daylight Attack
THE attack was delivered in day
tight. starting from a point in the VI
entity of Helgoland. The sea planes
were escorted by a light cruiser ana
destroyer force, together with subma-
rines AS these ships were seen by
the Germans from Helgoland, two Yep
helms and three or four hostile sea
planes and several hostile submarines
attacked them.
ut was necessary for the British
ships to remain in the neighborhood
to pick up the returning airmen, ana
a novel combat ensued between the
most modern cruisers and the enemy S
aircraft. and submarines. BY swift
maneuvering the enemys submarines
were avoided and the two Zeppeiins
were easily put to fight by the guns
of the JJndaunted and Arethusa.
Return Assault
The enemy's aeroplanes succeeded
in dropping their bombs near our
ships, but without hitting any of them.
The British ships remained for three
hours off the enemy's coast without
being molested by any surface vessel,
and safely re-emharlSeG three out OF
the seven airmen with their machines.
Three other pilots returned alter and
were picked up by British submarines
which were standing by. Their ma
chimes weer sunk.
Commander Missing
"Six out Of the seven returned safe
". Flight Commander Hewlett is
missing, His machine was seen in a
wrecked condition about miles from
Helgoland, and the fate Of the daring
and slzilful pilot is at present I'M
known.
THE extent of the damage by the
British airmen's bombs cannot be es-
timated, but all were discharged at
points of military Significance.

Dressed as If he was going away;
He's a big, fine man. as ev'ryone knows
And he looked so grand in his soldier
clothes.
He bounced me up in his arms for fun,
And he let me look at his real gun.
And he showed me his sword SO bright
and fine;
Oh, nobody's got daddy like mine.
He told me must be a good boy.
To comfort mother, and be her JOY;
He laughed when / told him / would try,
And then he kissed mother and said

All In q dream when the moon IVES

And l called to him in a sudden fright,
For saw his face was cold and white.

GERMAN STORY
OF AERIAL RAID

Berlin, Dec. 27.-(By wireless via
sayville, L. 1.-the German Admiral
ty made the following announcement
Saturday:
ION December Is, eight British ships
made a dash into a German bay. Hy-
dro-aeroplanes, conveyed by them
made an advance against the mouths
of German rivers and dropped bombs
on ships lying at anchor and gas
tank near Cuxhaven without hitting
them or doing dammage.
1.-THE hydro-aeroplanes were fired on
and withdrew in a westerly direction.
German airships and aeroplanes recon-
noitered against the British forces and
succeeded in hitting with bombs two
destroyers and one other vessel of the
convoy. On the latter fire broke out.
Fog prevented continuation Of
the fighting
The announcement by the German
Admiralty of an attempt by British
warships against the German coast is
the first intimation of what appears
to be reply to the recent attack by
German cruisers against the English
seaports of Scarboro, Whitby and
Hartlepool. the British authorities hav-
Ing then made no mention Of this OPP
Grafton. From the reference to Cux-
haven in the German announcement
II would seem that the German rivers
indicated, but not named, were the
Elbe and Weser.
Cuxhaven is a fortified seaport of
Germany, IS miles west northwest of
Hamburg. 1t is at the mouth OF the
Estuary of the Elbe. The approximate
distance across the north sea coast
to Cuxhaven is $50 miles.

SUPPRESS RIOTING

Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-10-21
STOCK SHIPPERS
WILL Be HEARD
Hearing Before Interstate
Commerce Commission
Today is Important.

Bismarck. N. D.. Oct. 21.-A matter
Of considerable interest to farmers and
the smaller stock shippers of the
state, more particularly in the western
part Of it, will be the hearing before
Examiner Dow of the interstate COM
merce commission at Bismarck today.
The hearing will be held at the fed
eral building at 2 p. m.
Some time since, the railroads Of
the west gave notice Of an intention,
on a near date, that they would with
draw the privilege heretofore grant
ed shippers of live stock to load and
unload at one or more places until
the shipment was complete or deliv-
cred. On representations being made
to the state railroad commission that
the abrogation of this privilege would
work a hardship to stock shippers,
the commission asked the interstate
commerce commission to suspend the
proposed rule until the shippers coulo
be heard, and this request was grant
ed and hearing set before the ma
tional commission late in November.
Other states have also taken up this
matter and as a consequence Exam
liner Dow has been sent out to hold To-
cal hearings
