9TH. action of Mr.. Lansing and the
State Department had been anticipated
and is no surprise to DR.. Dumba."
This statement, made after midnight
at the Ritz this morning by Count Won
Hohenlohe, an attache Of the Austrian
Embassy. was the only official comment
forthcoming from the Austrian Ambas-
sador last night.
II followed a long conference with
Count Won Bernstoff, the German Am
bassador, with whom the Austrian
diplomat spent the evening. They were
still in conference at an early hour this
morning.
Earlier in the night DR.. Dumba re-
ceived official notice from the State
Department that his recall had been
asked. This reached him at the St.
Regis. Soon after he left. ostensibly
for motor ride. The reporters, await
ing him in the hotel lobby, did not then
know of the action Of the State De-
partment, though they asked him II he
had anything TO say.
This, ne declared, as ne Drusntu

the time for me 10 talk
From the St. Regis DR.. Dumba went
to the Ritz, where Count Won Bernstoff
was waiting for him. The two went
for a drive through the park, return
ing TO the Ritz at about 9 o'clock. This
was before the newspapers had been in
formed of Secretary Lansing's action.
The German Ambassador then said
there was nothing for him TO discuss.
"If it interests YOU" he added as an
afterthought. 81 am not going TO be
here tomorrow. IL is too hot for me
here am going TO my summer place
on Long Island"
Soon after the news of Mr.. Lansing's
action had become public the St. Regis
was besieged by reporters seeking DR..
Dumba. All were told that ne could
not b, seen. Later they were told he
had retired for the night and under
no circumstances could be disturbed.
Early this morning the hotel people
were insisting that ne was in and could
not be disturbed.
DR.. Dumba spent most of yesterday
in his apartments at the hotel with his
aids and his secretaries. To all call

to meet he was out" The favored

zEPPELNS HIT
HEART OF LONDON
IN 18TH ATTEMPT
Censorship Covers De-
tails, but Hints of Facts
Leak Through.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE
THOUGHT BOMBARDED
Total Victims of Raids Now
1922 Killed and $40
Injured.

Tho nineteenth Zeppelin raid on
England Wednesday night evidently
for the first time struck the widely
advertised mark-the heart OF London
In spite Of rigid censorship, enough
details have come over the cnbles to
make this certain The exact loca-
tion where the bombs fell is not clear.
but indications are that the great bust
ness district around Trafalgar Square,
where stands the great Nelson monu-
ment. emblematic of Britain's rule Of
the waves. was hard hit.
The casualties so far reported are
little above the average of previous
raids. but it is significant that no men
tion is made of property damage,
though after earlier raids the official
report has always summarized this
item.
This attack brings up the total Of
casualties from Zeppelin raids to 1872
killed and $40 injured.
The inference plainly drawn from
such dispatches as have passed the
censor is that the German aeronauts
dropped bombs on the old city Of Lon
don proper. ia he region which con-
tains the hotels. business district and
the old landmarks famous the world
over. H. his district there are nor
mally thousands Of American tourists
at this time OF the year. although
their number is far below the average
this summer on account of the war.
The Germans, in their Zepplin at
tacks, have aimed repeatedly at Lon
don. They have succeeded previously
in dropping bombs within the metro
poltan district. but so far as Is known
no earlier attempt produced the effects
of Wednesday nights raid.
Whether or not extensive damage
was done 10 property, II is apparent
that London was deeply stirred. 1t ss
inferred that TIE bor1bardment was so
serious as to arouse fears on the part
of Americans in London that their
friends here would be alarmed. since
the censor allowed the statement that
there were no Americans among the
dead or wounded.
A dispatch from the London Office o.
"The Chicago Daily News" located on
Trafalgar Square, says that all there
are safe. Carefully worded articles in
London newspapers conveyed similar
intimation, THE Pail Mall Gazette"
speaking OF the raid as "Londoners'
first glimpse of the war at close quar-
ters."
In speed and mobility the Zeppl.n
is no match for the aeroplane. and its
chances of success would be small in
daylight In consequence, these vent
ures are usually attempted after dark
and 10 prevent the raiders finding their
way elaborate police regulations and
DISCUSSES of the lighting systems have
been adopted in London and elsewhere.
Another precaution is the censorship
regulation against publication Of any
accounts of the RAIDS other than the
official statement.

In the Exchange Market.

The foreign exchange market yester-
dav reflected the probability of an
early solution of the difficulty which
during the last few months has threat
ened 10 affect the movement OF our ex-
ports. Whether il meant that the Eng
iish and French financiers had already
found what they believed to be solu-
ton of the problem, sterling rates dis
played more strength than for several
days. Demand sterling ended at 4.bS'
an advance of cents in the pound over
the previous close, and checks on Pans
at 5.95 francs for dollar, compared
with Tuesdays last quoted rate OF 5.9l.
The improvement in sterling was at
tributed TO buying from London sources
and 70 the inclination of bankers here
TO cease further offerings pending some
definite developments as TO what steps
the foreign commissioners would take
TO consolidate the market situation.
In this connection il was also learned
that there has been a cessation IN the
buying Of war supplies during the last
ten DAYS. This, however, has not been
regarded as alarming. as deliveries are
now going out in large quantities, and
Il would be only natural for foreign
BUYERS 10 await the result OF the pend

some quarters il was thought that un-

HOW TO GROW PRIMROSES
Ey BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

The best way to propagate prim-
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June, or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in a box or
a bed. The soil must be sifted fine
and of moldy consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level,
sow the seed evenly and thinly, and
cover lightly. 1t is mistake to SOW
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear II requires from three
weeks to a month to bring plants to
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with a little tobacco and
sulphur mixed, to keep down the
fungus and insects.
The primrose requires a moist, but
not wet soil, and II the soil is al
lowed to dry out before the plants ap-
pear, propagation will be greatly re-
tarded or entirely stopped,
Used in borders or in pots, the lit
tie primrose is always a beautiful,
cheerful plant.

GARDEN NOTES

Plant hardy bulbs in the open
ground as long as the ground can be
worked.
Gala lilies requires an abundance
of water at this season.
Make the rows in your garden
straight. Crooked rows show that
the gardener is careless and while
the straight rows may not guarantee
success they show careful attention
and are slightly.
Roses, violets, deutzias, dicentras,
daises for winter and spring forcing
should be potted and stored in the
cellar or cold pit. In taking them
into the heat during the winter do not
commence forcing too rapidly. The
same applies to forcing hardy bulbs.
Avoid taking plants into the con-
servatory too soon after they have
been rooted. Gradually accustom
them to the confined air of the room
by keeping them indoors during cold
nights and cool weather, exposing
them fully to the air, shaded from the
direct rays of the sun, during fine
weather.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
BY LIMA ROSE.

If you know the needs Of the diff
soil yourself for potting your house
| plants. Take some old bluegrass
sod and pile it up until it rots, and
! you will have an ideal form of de-
cayed vegetable matter for the prin-
cipal constituent of all kinds of soil
for potted plants. There are three
kinds Of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties Of blooming plants-Three
| parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well-rotted manure and one part
sand. if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foliage
plants-Two parts loan, one part leaf
mold or peat, and one-half part sand,
IL soil Is heavy.
For palms or roses-Two parts clay
loan and one part well-rotted manure,
and sand to suit the texture condi-
ton.
Use the finger test to learn If the
| plants need water; when il cakes
readily there is too much water; so
do not give the plants little each
day, but only water when needed
Never use nozzle on the end of a
| hose in watering, as it causes the
stream to pack the soil and injure the
foliage.
To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally. and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the
| ferns in a shady corner; a north win
dow is good place.
Use as dry material only well-rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done. take an ordi-
nary barrel containing one-half bushel
of fresh cow dung, and If extra
| strength be required add a couple OF
| quarts of fresh hen manure, and COW
er with water.
After it has been fermented thor.
oughly, the coarse material will all
settle to the bottom, and you may fill
the barrel with water, and the solution
is ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation Of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with and good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed Take a sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily propa-
