The dreaded Zeppelin rail on England has come
at last Early reports indicate that the airships
did not venture any distance inland and that no
very great damage was done to the ancient cathe-
dral city of Yarmouth, where Dickens Capt Peg
gotty went out with the tide" But the Germans
have demonstrated the possibility of Zeppelin
invasion, and raids with more serious results,
may be looked for. The British, of course, have
not been idle while their enemy has been prepar-
ing, and the world that is looking amazed at
the thrilling feats of modern warfare will watch
eagerly to see how they will fight the invaders

Mrs. Edna c. LatImer Takes Shot
at "FOuI-mOuthed."

That Bowdleism is already a fact in
suffrage campaigns was the statement
yesterday Of Mrs Edna c. Latimer, of
Baltimore, now engaged in the lively
campaign in Delaware for an equal suf-
frase amendment 10 the State cOnstitu-
tiOn. Mrs. Latimer came to Washington
for conference with Miss Alice Paul
and addressed the weekly meeting of the
Congressional Union at 1870 + street last
evening.
"Of all the many States where have
worked for suffrage. Delaware is the most
hopeful from every point of view" she
said. The amendment has simply to
pass two successive legislatures without
any referendum. The leading women in
all the good works of the State are back
ing the campaign and seem determined to
substitute woman suffrage for the whip
ping post as Delaware's claim to fame"
Mrs. ellison Gardner. of the executive
committee. and Mrs. Helena Hill Weed,
Of the lobby committee of the union, both
spoke of the coming vote on the Bristow
suffrage amendment in the United States

That Fairfax County game warden has given
out another long interview, reerating that Secrc-
tary of State Bryan violated the game laws on
Christmas Day and appealing to the public to
sustain his contention. H should either appeal
to the proper authorities in Virginia for warrant
for Mr. Bryans arrest, or cease proclaming that

A FEW days ago l had oc-

early in the morning, at a
little past 7 o'clock. In a deep
hole in one of the streets that

mostly Greeks, were at work
with pick and shovel, their

their dark, unshaven/ faces

Daniels Discusses Naval Inven-

Every Member Recognized &C.
MUS in Field of Science.

West Orange, n. J., July 16.-Secre-
tary Daniels and Thomas A. Edison
talked for nearly three hours over the
proposed navy bureau of invention and
the civilian advisory board, of which
Mr.. Edison is to be the head, in the
1atter's home here last night. Sec
rotary Daniels said he would not an
nounce the names of the members of
the advisory board until after his re-
turn to Washington.
MY intention is to have all MEM
bers of the board so well known that
no one will ask Who is hep" Sec
rotary Daniels said. My idea in or
ganizing this naval board is to bring
about a mobilization of the brains of
the country. / want to get together
men who have devoted their lives
to science and to use their genius and
skill for the benefit of the country.
My reason for coming here to confer
with Mr.. Edison is to get his sugges-
tions for developing the scope of the
work. After we get the board and be-
gin to get results, we shall be in a
state of defense such as no other
country has ever known.
My purpose is to have this board
develop the submarine and aeroplane.
If we had begun twenty-five years
ago to encourage inventors and in
ventionS, we today would be controll-
ing the submarine and aeroplane.
The next war will be fought by ma
chinery and men of brains"

FIGHT IN CHINATOWN
Tong War Waged in Darkness and in
Secret.

San Francisco, July 16.-Terror
turks in every Chinatown on the Pa
cific coast today, because of the tong
war which is being waged, in darkness
and in secret, between the Suey Sings
and the Sen Sueys. The strife is espe-
cial1y bitter here. Gunner crouch in
every shadow, stalking their prospec
tive victims under the very eyes of
the police. The Big On tong is re-
ported to be on the verge of joining
the fray, while several other powerful
organizations are preparing for hos
tilitieS.
With the tongs it appears to be a
point of honor never to cease the con-
fiict unless the tally of killed and
wound during the war is even. Thus,
when attempts were made to end the
present hostilities, the Sen Sueys
would listen to no peace proposals
until they had even up the score.
Hatchmen prOwled the gloomy streets
of Chinatown. There were shots in
the night. hurry calls for the patrol
wagon, scuffling and sudden death.
Now the Suey Sing tong has an
nounced that it will not talk about
peace unless the Sen Sueys agree not
to prosecute any Suey Sen men on
charges growing out of the war.
