ance of q cigar shaped airshfp. which
has lowered over this vicinity In the
small hours of the morning for sew

At first it was thought an agent OF
the German government had induced
some one to make an attack ON the
Emporium explosive plant, and that
the ship was kept in hiding In the
hills near here awaiting an oppor-
tune time OF attack when the big
mills were completed.
In all its flights, however. Empor-
iumites have been alarmed, and al
though they have been watching, the
atrship has not appeared over that
village or the powder works nearby.
For several days past the guard
about the Emporium mill has been
active, but all denied any
fear of an attack.
It is well known that during the
week Captain Seefried Roeder, OF the
guard force, resigned and returned
to his family at RosendaIe, N. Y. It
is reported that he said he didn't

Outside Smethport, about eight miles
over Bushkill, where the dirigible
first was seen by Smethport people,
say that the searchlight of the giant
ship repeatedly has been thrown on
their tents. In the party we're Mr..
and Mrs. Bernard Garlock who both
say they saw the airship. Scott
Walker. a teetotaler and a well known
glass blower, says he has seen the
dfrigible plainly toward dawn, the
whirring OF the motors on one oc-
casion being perceptible as the ma
chine few about 1000 feet high. H.
" Bockius, another Smethport man,
has seen it and heard it.

euthenist, the environment. Freder-

Mrs. Fish. prominent clubwoman,
was a leader Of the Denver eugenists.

that a COW is F'rederick's chief play
