ZEPPELIN PERIL

Antwerp, Sept. 26-Attacks in

England are predicted here. 1t is
said these German aerial battleships
are being assembled for flight
across the English Channel, with a
thick curtain of fog to obscure move
ment.
1t is known that Count Zeppelin
inventor Of the giant dirigibles that
bear his name. has volunteered to
lead fleet of these vessels over the
Channel and across the city of Lon
don.
With the coming of foggy autumn
season the danger from this cause is
certain to be acute, and the British
are already making preparations to
forestall such raid.
A number of the officials of the
British aviation squad have been at
Ostend for the last week, and it is
understood they have a fleet OF
armored biplanes in readiness, pre-.
pared to take the offensive when the
dirigibles are sent into action.

Berlin (via The Hague), Sept. 26
In it's official review of the situa-

clares the German right has taken

the French fortified position ot Fe.-

LAW A COMPROMISE.
Prov Isic:is Of Instrument d. Not
Suit ProhibitiOnists.

Baltimore, Sept. 26---In his address
1T the Prohibition mass-meeting
Thursday night Field Secretary Mills
characterized the Virginia prohibi-
ton Amendment as a compromise be-
cause it permitted the manufacture
of whiskey and beers within the COM
monweal,h while prohibiting its sale
within the confines Of the state. The
law as ratified last Tuesday differs
materially from any other now in
force in any one of the eight prohibit
tion states.
Prohibitionalists are not at all sat
isfied with this law, which they
claim will not prohibit. They point
to the fact that manufacturers can
send their products TO some point
without the state but that 4 way can
be found to bring it back to 4 con-
sumer. OF course much will depcnd
upon the stringency Of the law to be
enacted by the General Assembly to
enforce the prohibition features but
even then some way can be fCurd 10
get around it.
/ The failure TO regulate the sale OF
cider is also criticized. The law does
!, rot interfere with its manufacture
or sale, yet tipplers are known to
. have obtained the same results from
hard cider as from whiskey. l. is
predicted that when the Prohibition
features become effective, there will
be a great boom in the cider industry
and the apple growers will be the
berefciaries. 1t is understood that
cider was excepted to please the
! farmers and this accounts fol' the
big vote in the country districts in
. favor of the amendment.

WEAKNESS IN FORTS
General Russian Advance Well in
Progress-Berlin Said to be OBJ
iective Point of Cars Army.

Petrograd, Sept. 26-Advices from
The Austrian front today say that
the capture of Przemysl is believed
Imminent. All n-combatants have
been permitted to leave the city anil
che Russian bombardment continues
from all sides. Already weaknesses
have been noted in the eastern forts
where the fire of the Russian artil-
;ery has been exceptionally deadly.
Meanwhile the main Russian army
is continuing its movement along the
railroad lines, both from Jaroslaw
and Przemysl, toward Cracow. 1t is
now known that desperate resis-
lance will be encountered at CTacow.
A strong German force has now as
sumed the work Of defending that
important fortifcation and a German
general staff has replaced the Aus
trian commandant according to ad-
vice reaching this city.
1t is announced that the Russian
army Of General Rennenkampf has
assumed the offensive and has re-
pulsed the Germans who tried to in
wade Russian Poland in the direction
of Suwalki. While details are lack
ing, the early reports to the general
staff indicate that the repulse has
been serious to the Germans, who
were driven back toward Gumbinnen
with the loss of many men and a.
number of cannon.
The general Russian advance on
the German positions is admittedly
well in progress. For stategic reasons
the details are ordered withheld by
the censor, but the announcement is
authorized that the advance, with
Berlin as the objective, is "now in
progress" Whether this means that
the known movements are being car
lried on with this intention Or whether
"a great movement is masked is not
revealed. But the significant fact is
admitted that the entire Russian
army, including even the troops
brought through Siberia from Man.
,churia, are now at positions avail
able for service.
