into PARIS AGAIN
German Airman Escapes as
Guns Boom - French
Aviators Busy.

Paris, Sept. "A German mono
p1ane dropped two more bombs in the
streets of Paris about $50 o'clock last
evening. The aviator was observed by
soldiers in the outlying Notifications
and the guns of the Eiffel tower and
at the other points of vantage were
manned. VoIleys were directed at the
German, who turned his aeroplane up
ward and then headed back to the
north.
The authorities continue to prevent
a panic arising from the visits of the
German aeroplanes.
The accounts of the visit of one of
these machines Monday afternoon In
dictate that it may possibly have been
the same aeroplane which passed over
the city on Sunday. The machine Mon
day dropped a message in the Square
des Innocents reading, according to
one version:
1--WE have the honor to inform you
that the French have been beaten near
st. Quentin. The Russians were de-
feated decisively near Stannenburg."
Lieutenant Champagne of the French
aviation corps, while flying over the
German lines at a height of 1900
yards, was subjected to the enemy's
fire. A shell struck his machine and
stopped the motor. The aeroplane
oscillated violently in the wind, but
the lieutenant succeeded in rightlng it
and in volplaning into the French
lines. He landed safely and gave i'm

Meet Stubborn Resistance
Offered by the Austrians.

Rome, Sept 2 (via London).-A
Giornale D'Italia S Vienna dispatch
says the Austrian government has
made arrangements for the evacua-
ton of Lemberg, capital of Galicia.
Recent dispatches described it as in
vested by Russians.
london, Sept. 2.-The announce
n;ent from Vienna that Lemberg is
being evacuated is the first official
admission that the Austrians have
been worsted in the prolonged fight
ing in Galicia.
Petrograd, est Petersburg), Sept. 2.
The general staff announces the
Austrian 18th division was routed
near Lustchoc Aug 2S and 1000 sol
diers taken prisoners.
London, Sept. 2.-Advices have been
received from St Petersburg to the
effect that the Russian general staff
frankly confesses to disaster to two
army corps, including the loss of three
generals.
The Times ST. Petersburg cores
pondent telegraphs that the war re-
| ports given out at st. Petersburg are
generally meagre, but, in contradiction
| to what is the case in Berlin and Vi
emma, they are always true. Wording
of today's announcement indicates
| that other Vistula fortresses,. besides
Graudenz and Thorn, have been sent
reinforcements.
General Samsonive, one of the Rus
sian commanders killed, was consid-
cred one of Russia's most capable and
brilliant generals. He distinguished
himself in the Russo-Japanese war
when he commanded a division of Rus
sian Cossacks. His name was a house

er two lost commanders were General
Martos, commanding an army corps.
and General Pestitch, attached to the
general staff.
From Galicia the only news is that
a fierce battle is raging. The battle
was begun more than week ago.
In conclusion the correspondent
says the information given out at ST.
Petersburg indicates the Russians, in
spite of the Austrian stubborn de-
fense, will bring victory home in this
long terrible battle, in which probably
more than million are engaged.

The statement having been made
that the Tribune editor promised a
leader of the Prohibition forces that
no advertising would be accepted
from the advocates of the Home Rule
amendment, we take this means of
saying that no such promise was made
We did say that we had not up to
that time taken advertising from the
Home Rule people or quoted them
rates, and that we did not want their
advertising Shortly after the Pro-
hbition advertising had been ordered
and accepted by US, local leaders of
the "Home Rule forces asked us for
space to present their side of the ques-
ton. Our advertising space is our
stock in trade, we offer it for sale to
the general public just as the mer-
| chant offers his goods; we believe in
dealing fairly with all and having
sold space to one side we see no rea-
son why we sheuld refuse to sell space
to the ether side. We sold space to both
sides. at exactly the same rate just
as the Toledo papers and papers in
adjoining counties sold space to both
sides in the contest. At the same
time we reserve the right to use our
columns to express the principles for
which we stand and this we have
done and shall continue to do wheth-
er in harmony with or adverse to the
sentiment expressed by advertisers
in space In the paper which they pur-
chase and pay for.
