BOMBS FALL IN LONDON.

In their latest Zeppelin raid over
England the Germans apparently at
last have struck at the heart Of Lon
don That inference may be drawn
plainly from vsii ous cable dispatch
es that have passed the censor that
the German aeronauts dropped
bombs on the old city of London
proper. in the region which contains
the hotels, business district and land
ma ks famous the world over, In
this district there are normally thous-
ands of American tourists at this
time of the year. although their num-
Der is far below the average this
summer.
The German Zeppelins have aimed
repeatedly at London. They previ-
ously have dropped bombs within the
metropolitan district, but 20 far as
is known. no earlier attempt produc-
ed the effects of Wednesday nights
raid. In this co nection It's siguifi-
cant that the British press bureau,
announcing the result; OF the attack,
confined itself to an account of the
casualties. making no. reference to
property damage, as in earlier an
nouncements. The German war Of
flee was almost as reticent, saying
that bombs were dropped on docks
and other port establishments, and
that "'he effects were very satisfac-
tory"
1t is apparent that London is Deep
ly stirred. 1t may be inferred that
the bombardment was of so serious
a nature as to arouse fears on the
part of Americans in London that
friends in this country would be
alarmed for their safety. The CEN
sor passed dispatch saying there
were no Americans among the dead
or wounded.
Berlin issued the following report:
Our naval airships attacked during
the night of September 8-9 with good
results. the western part of the city
Of London, the great factories near
Norwich and the harbor works and
Iron Works at Middleboro. There
were heavy explosions and numer-
Gus fires were observed. Our air.
ships were heavily fired at by hos.
tile batteries, but all returned safe

New tuberculosis Officer.

The placing of CT. L. M. Maus at
the head IF the Kentucky Tubercu-
LOSS association. is a significant step.
He is b retired member of the United
States medical corps and has had
valued experience in Manila and also
in this country. Roy l.. French,
whom he succeeds. was by no means
deficient in zeal, but the wider txpe-
rience of Col. Maus will give the
commissi IN greater Influence and
that is what it needs. Too many
Careless people in the state pay no
attention to it's literature and to its
lectures and demonstrations. TIE
people need badly to be aroused to
the Importance of all this anti tubtr-
culosls work. In the matter of a
disease 80 plainly communicable from
the affected to the health there is no
complete safety for the most care
ful, while there are 80 many 50 care
les rs now. The prudence and
caution which this association is
constantly erousing will do great
good and stop the thousands of IN
necessary deaths and prevent the
contamination of many by the slow

AUGUST CROP REPORT.
Issued Sept. 10. 1879.

(lsSued sept. III, lJl0J.
The ere p season for 1915 is fast
drawing to clJse and it has been
throughout very unusual. There
have been more rainy days and cold.
damp. soggy weather than any sea-
son Of which this Department has a
record. Crops have been damaged
from the excessive moisture and by
wind storms. The two largest mon
ey crops in Kentucky are corn and
tobacco. Both of these have grown
without proper cultivation. and in
general have been damaged by rain
and wind, and no one can accurately
predict just what the final yields and
quality Of either of these crops will
be.
The reports to this office show the
condition of corn to be go per cent.
which is above the average. Many
reports. however. state that much of
the com viii be damaged when the
harvesting time comes as the result
of being 30 badly blown. The Bur-
ley tobacco condition is given at 1876
per cent. that Of dark tcbacco &C 81.
Tobacco is being rapidly housed. and
warm, clear weather is needed for
properly curing il in the barns. The
hemp crop is greatly improved and
the condition is given at "a per cent.
Very large crops of COW peas and
soy beans have been planted. and
their condition is given at 81 and SO

main good at 80. Pastures are in

who is able to put bis incurred alfal.
ia or clover in a siIo during these
rains. or who will be able to take care
of his corn after it is blown to the
ground. Many farmers report that
the silo is the salvation of their crops
this year. AS predicted in the last
crop report, the indications are that
the farmers will not have a record
breaking year in any line. but will
have large supply of forage crops
for the winter with a reasonably
good corn and tobacco crop. With
pastures furnishing food in abund-
auce for the fall. the live stock
should gointo the winter in a healthy.

the prospects for the year are above
the average.
