GERMANS MAKE AIR RAID
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING

and that the news of the sinking
Immediately on top Of the announce
nent that four Dutch trawlers had
been seized by the Germans and taken
to Zeebrugge have apparently height
ened the feelings of the Hollanders.
The Katwyk incident and many
rumors of diplomatic movements in
Italy and the near east seemingly had
made the people of England forget
last nights Zeppelin raid over North
cumberland county and the fighting on
the continent. Next in interest to the
sinking of the Katwyk was the publ
cation of the white Paper" showing
that England acknowledged British
cruisers had sunk the German cruiser
Dresden in Chilean territorial waters
and had offered an apology for the &C
ton of her squadron.
The only battles of Importance to-
day were in the Carpathians, and. the
Woevre district. The Russians, al
though now forced by much larger
forces than they were at the begin
ming of the campaign three months
ago, are said to be continuing their
efforts to force the Austro-G Germans
from the Carpathians and open a way
to Hungary.
The Austrians insist the recent
fighting has been in their favor and
that they have captured another i'm
portant height northwest of the U.s.
zok Pass. In Woevre the French have
revived the offensive, Ber-
lin declares all the French attacks
have been repulsed.
The Netherlands steamer Katwky
from Baltimore for Rotterdam was
torpedoed yesterday evening while an
chored seven miles west of north Hin
der lightship in. the North sea. The
crew of % men was saved and taken
aboard the lightship.

Lodon, April 15.-Although not yet
certain that it was a German SUBJ
marine responsible for the sinking of
the Dutch steamer Katwyk off the
North Hinder Lightship last night the
indignation of the Dutch is evidenced
by editorials of the Holland news
papers. The Katwyk, which was load
ed with grain from Baltimore con-
signed to the Dutch government, is
reported to have been lying at anchor
at the time Of the explosion and to
have been flying Dutch flag.
Dutch newspapers insist no mistake
could have been made and that if
German submarine actually torpedoed
the steamer 1--WE must expect that
Germany will, without loss of time. be
made responsible for this severe VIC
lation of the rights of neutral powers"

Mrs. GummIdce.

| do not know whether Dickens
seriously intended Mrs Gummidge to
be taken as a portrait of Queen Vic
toria, but there is not the slightest
doubt that there is strong likeness
between the iilustrious sovereign who
mourned so faithfully for Prince Al!
bert, and the charming old lady in
David Copperfeld," who was always
thinking of the old 'un."
If Queen Victoria had been the wild
ow of a Yarmouth fisherman her de-
votion to the memory of her husband
might have seemed CUNNINGHAM to
her most loyal subjects. But the
luxury of regret is one of the privi-
leges of royalty, whereas in humble
life it is a comic extravaganza. The
poor woman cannot afford to spend
her life in weeping over the most ex-
cellent spouse Perpetual brooding
over the best of men is in our day
regarded as mawkish and morbid.
Queen Alexandra has set all widows
a splendid example of cheerful forti-
tude and energetic social service. The
modern woman is far more practical
than her mother or her grandmother.
1t is the modern man who wallows
in unhealthy sentiment, and who
revels in gloom and melancholy.
Nearly every man relies on some val
iantly optimistic woman to revive his
dropping soul.-London Opinion.

London, May 1.-Chancellor Lloyd
George on Thursday night submitted
the governments liquor program to
the house of commons and immediate
~ moved that its most important pro-
vision, an increase of $3.50 per proof
gallon in the duty on whisky. brandy
and gin, should be adopted at once.
and put into effect Immediately.
1t is necessary to pass this resolu-
ton tonight" he explained, in or
der to prevent the withdrawal of spir-
its from bond"
The house divided. 1t was the first
division since the beginning of the
war. Lloyd-George's victory, however,
was complete. The resolution was
carried by a vote of SO to 5.
The former duty on spirits was 10
shillings proof gallon. The bill adds
Is shillings and 9 pence a gallon,
more than doubling the tag. The
taxes on other alcoholic drinks are
increased in proportion.
The government is to control the
sale of all liquor in areas where war
material is produced and where ship
ping is carried on. The present pub
lie houses in these areas are to be re-
formed or. in many cases, put out of
business. Hours of sale will be re-
stricted and the use of light and, non
Intoxicating drinks will be encour-
aged. Financial sufferers are to be
compensated.
Lloyd-George estimated that the
new duties on Beer would produce
100000 of revenue and that the
duties on wines would produce $780,
600.
