American republics. The Spanish
American war changed that view
point and it was then we took place
as a world power and country with
colonial possessions. BY that war
We extended our boundaries thou
sands of miles, and enhanced our
prestige in the eyes of the oversea

This is the one large country in

of defensive and aggressive meas

Press today in mailed adyices from
London. The story from London
states:
when the Germans announced
the raid recently and it became
known that the aviators who made
the attack had been awarded iron
crosses, Londoners laughed, believ-
ing the reported achievements more
fiction. But the real facts are The
Germans actually accomplished the
feat, though the damage was trivial.
British officials have been active in
filling up the channels that might let
out the news to the public in Eng
land"
Lieutenant Charles Tamper and
Lieutenant Richard Otto made the
fight to Dover, starting from a point
near Ostend. The distance from Os-
tend to England's favorite fortified
naval harbor is about sixty miles.
Travelling at great height they
were not observed by the Dover
garrisons until the first bomb fell,
1t was small one and hit the earth
works of the fortifications. Little
damage was done, but the noise was
such that officers and men poured
out. of the barracks. They saw four
more bombs fall and explode on the
upper heights of the cliffs away from
the town in quick succession They
also did slight damage and no one
was killed or injured
An effort was made to bring the
hostile aeroplane down, but it was
in a high altitude and none of the
shots were successful The aero
plane rose still higher and disap-
peared in the direction OF the Bel

Germans Menace Warsaw

Special bU United Press Wire.
London, Dec. Warsaw is now
threatened from the north. German
forces from Niawa are pushing for
ward along the railroad leading
through Novo Georgievsk to the Po-
lish capital. Their lines extend over
through Trzasnysz, twenty miles east
where they are engaged with the
Russians, TrzasnysZ is fifty miles
from Warsaw This is indicated not
only in the movement of German
troops, which have been evident dur
ing the last few days, but the Rus
sian official statement issued today
mentions fighting in the Trzasnysz
region. Fighting in this section is
still in progress, Russian statements
declare.
The line on which the Germans
are endeavoring to advance at the
present time is the same one over
which troops endeavored to move
during Field Marshal Won linden
burg's first strike at Warsaw. The
Germans endeavored to come to the
relief of the main army near Warsaw
but were headed off by the Russians
and this made the retreat of Won Hin
denburg's forces necessary. The
German commander is duplicating
his first campaign in the new move
ment against the Polish capital.
