cendiary bomb.
Through Hoxton the zigzag course OF
the Zeppelins could be traced by a Sc
ries of fires which they left in their
track. Along Commercial road many
business houses suffered. One of the
luckiest escapes was that of n big
whisky distIlIery. With its great watts
OF spirits and its storerooms filed with
case goods 1t might have proved an
easy victim for an %incendiary bomb.
but the lone bomb which struck the
place went through a galvanized iron
roof into a deep tank flled with water
Most of the bombs used were of the
incendiary type, and a few which did
not explode have been examined by
the British authorities. These are fill
ed with tarred hemp soaked In coal
oil. But evidence has been found
showing that some of the shrapnel
bombs of the type carried by aero
planes were used.
Three Fall on Freight Depot.
Three incendiary bombs were drop
ped i'm the big freight station or the
Great Eastern railway at Bishopsgate
about half past IL. They came through
the glass roof without SCATTERING the
glass. but cutting holes as smooth as
IL made with a glass cutter. Two OF
them started fires, which the workmen
put out with buckets of water. The
third was thrown into a pail of water
before II had done any damage and
taken to the police station as an ex-
hibit.
The inhabitants Of the poorer regions
where the bombs fell were In an ugly
mood. and many Germans had to he
hurried to the police stations for pro
lection. Two shops owned by Russian
Jews were attacked by the crowd In
the belief that the n were Ger

Next morning the only sign of q
pursuit of the raiders was found In the

mud after being compelled to descend
on account of engine trouble.

London, Sept. S.-The news that
Emperor Nicholas had placed him
self at the head of his army, which
he announced in a telegram to Ray
mond Poincare, president of France,
and the visit paid by the French COM
mander.in. chief. General Joffre, to
the Italian army, foreshadow, it is
believed in military circles here, stir
ring events in which the armies of
the allies will cooperate.
1t is declared the Russians already
are nearly, if not quite, holding their
own against the Austrians and Ger
mans, whose advance at most points
has been stopped. In places the Rus
SLAMS are on the offensive.
Riga remains the danger point,
but the facts that the Russians con-
tinue to occupy the town after the
Germans have advanced to Dvina,
southeast of Riga, leads military
writers to conclude that the Russians
feel reasonably sure of their ability
to defend the river and in time to
push sufficiently far westward to re-
lieve the pressure on their forces on
the shores of the Gulf of Riga.
Still another battleis being fought

The Austrians and Russians face
each other across the Sereth river in
Galicia, where the fighting is contin-
uous. The stands which the Rus
SLAMS are making suggest that their
supply Of munitions is ample. A
Petrograd correspondent says the
ammunition shortage of the Russians
has been corrected and that while
the production is slow it is incessant
and growing in activity and method,
For the thirteenth successive day
the allies have bombarded German
positions in the west, only varying
their artillery activity by occasional
air raids, sapping and mining opera
tions and bomb throwing. Success
rests first with one side and then the
other.
Similar activity is noticed on the
part of the Austro. German army
along the northern frontier ofSSer-
bis, where the Teutons are strength

aratory to a new offensive move

The ease at issue was Il suit of tho
St Louis Post-Dispatch against Henry

The opinion Of the chief judge SAYS:
The only question presented for de-
termination is whether the publca-
ton OF the great daily papers of the
country on sunday is Il work of ne
ccSsity.
Tho great service the press is
rendering humanity is performed on
sunday as well as upon Monday or
upon amy other DAY of the week. and
it's ncnciicencc is more potent on tho
former than OF the latter, for the
simple reason that the toiling masses
have more time To read the papers on
sunday, and. Therefore acquire great

Upon this state of affairs where is

would convict tn. publishers OF the
