ANOTHER AIRSHIP RAID
SCORE KILLED IN LONDON BY
BOMBS.
Eighty-Six Persons Also Wounded
Missiles Cause Many Fires and
Considerable Damage Done.

London, Sept. 10.-The latest Yep
pelin raid on London was the most de-
structive in history. 1t was officially
announced 20 persons were killed and
sc injured. The German naval airships
invaded the heart of the largest city
in the world at midnight and rained
explosive and incendiary bombs that
started many fires in the district
wherein are situated London's most
famous buildings.
Firemen were called out to combat
the flames while the Zeppelins were
still hurting bombs, and did their
work with incendiary missiles falling
all around them. 1t is believed con-
siderable damage was done before the
flames were extinguished.
The number of casualties in
Wednesday nights aerial attack
makes total Of 33 persons killed and
129 injured in the raids Of two sue
cessive nights.
The most alarming feature of this
latest visit of the Zeppelins, however,
was that they invaded the heart of
the city-the western part-wherein
are located such landmarks as st.
James palace, Westminster abbey, the
parliament buildings, the Charing
Cross railroad station, the fashionable
residential districts and, on the edge,
the great factories and warehouses.

FIRST TO SCALE HIGH PEAK
Party Of University Students Make a
Record in Mountain Climbing in
California.

Fighting their way to the top OF
Half Dome, the most inaccessible
point on any of the mountains about
the Yosemite valley, A. c. Pillsbury
and II college students spent night
on the summit and made the descent
the next day.
This is the first time on record that
party of tourists has ever scaled II .
mountain and reached the top of the
dome The summit is $500 feet above
sea level and the last 1000 feet of the
climb was made with rope ladders
The grade is said to average rs per
cent.
The dome rises hundreds of feet
above massive rock on the top of the
mountain proper. The rock itself is
1000 feet high. The overhanging rock
at the summit of the dome projects
out from the wall 80 feet and sticks
eight feet out into yawning space
There is sheer drop of 5000 feet
from this point.
The party spent one night on the
point ard built huge bonfire that
lighted ZIP the surrounding heights for
miles. to the delightof many tourists
on the floor of the valley who had OBJ.
served the climbers through field
glasses during the afternoon. At mid.
night the bonfire was pushed over the
point, making the longest stream Of
falling fire in the history of the state.
Six girls were in the party. All OF
them are students Of Stanford univer.
sity.

FORT At DUBNOFALLS.
TEUToNs CAPTURE STRONGHOLD
RUSS VICTORY AT
TARNoPoL.
5000 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Petrosrad Statement Says That Large
Amount of War Booty Was Also
captured-czar Expresses Thanks
When Told Of Victory.

Vienna, Sept. 11.-Continuing their
terrific attacks to cut the railroads
from Lemberg to Kiev, the Austrians
have crowned one phase of their gen.
eral action with success, capturing the
great Russian stronghold of Dubno.
In the capture of this fortress the
Teutons have obtained command of
the railroad lines from Lemberg
through Dubno to Rovno and thence
to Kiev and Odessa. Dubno is one
of the triangle of fortresses protect
ing the approach of Kiev and is the
second to fall, Lutsk having been cap
tured several days ago. This leaves
only the third fortress, Rovno, in the
way of rapid advance toward Kiev
and the outfianking Of the great Russ
army, which has fallen back from
Brest-Litovsk
The Austrian landwehr and cavalry
entered Dubno on Wednesday. They
are already advancing to the north
east, and if they take Rovno, only
about forty-1ve miles away, it is be-
lieved that they can drive rapidly
northward to the aid of Mackensen's
army, which is advancing toward
Pinsk on the road to Moscow
Military authorities here attach
great Importance to the capture of
Dubno and assert it may mean the cut
ting off of large Russian forces in the
marsh district far to the north of the
fortress triangle and southeast of
Brest-Litovsk.
Petrograd, Sept. 11.-A Russian vic
tory in eastern Galicia resulting in the
capture of 5000 German troops and
80 guns is announced on Thursday in
an official statement issued by the
war Office here. Enormous losses
were also suffered by the enemy In
killed and wounded, the official state
ment says. It characterizes the result
of the conflict as complete German
defeat"
The emperor, having received re-
port of the defeat inflicted upon the
enemy, sent an order to express to his
valorous troops his Joy and thankful
ness for their success and the heavy
losses inflicted on the enemy.
An official communication from Pc
trograd claims another big Russian
success in eastern Galicia. Following
their reported victory at Tarnopol, it
is stated that southwest of Trembowla
during the 7th and Sth the Russians
took as prisoners f5O officers and T.
900 men and that the Teutons re-
treated hastily toward the River Stry-
pa. Russian captures since Septem-
Der 8, Sereth front, total 3S3 officers,

CROP BREAKS U. S. RECORDS
Total of 5,e41, ZOO, 900 Bushels Of Grain
Is Forecast as Yield Of American
Farms for 1915.

Washington, Sept. 10.-All records
for grain production in the United
States have been excelled.
The government September crop re-
port, issued on Wednesday, estimated
the yield of wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley at 5,641, 100000 bushels, an in
crease of 94,OO0,OOO bushels over the
final returns last year The three lead
ing grains-wheat, corn and oats
will reach 1914 100000 bushels, ac-
cording to the federal report. The de-
partment of agriculture sticks to the
100000, O0,OO0-bushel wheat crop theory.
and it's latest estimate of 981, 100000
bushels is within 100000 bushels of
that mark. Well informed grain
traders and growers believe that the
wheat crop will exceed 1,O00,000,000
bushels. These figures indicate 116,-
100000 bushels in excess of last years
harvest.

NO INDEMNITY ON
STEAMER ARABIC
IS BERLIN REPLY
Note to American Government
Expresses Deep Regret
for Deaths.
MISTAKE is NOT ADMITTED
Belief Of Submarlne Commander That
Liner Was About to Attack Him
Held by Germany to Justify
His Action.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Germany's
note to the United States bearing on
the sinking of the White Star line
steamer Arabic on August 19, which
was communicated to the American
ambassador, James w. Gerard, for
transmission to Washington, is in the
form Of a memorandum under date of
September Z, the text of which is as
follows:
On August 10 a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south Of
Kinsale and was on the point of sink
ing the prize by gunfire after the
crew had left the vessel. At this mo-
ment the commander saw a large
steamer, as developed later, the Ara
bic. She was recognized as an enemy
vessel, as she did not fly any flag and
bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward the submarine.
From this the commander became oonf
vinced that the steamer had the in
tention of attacking and ramming him.
In order to anticipate this attack he
gave orders for the submarine to dive
and fred a torpedo at the steamer.
After firing he convinced himself that
the people on board were being res
cued in Is boats.
AapnrdinO fn In cfr "a
commander was not allowed to attack
the Arabic without warning and with
out saving the lives unless the ship at
tempted to escape or offered resist
hnce. He was forced, however, to con-
clude from the attendant circum.
stances that the Arabic planned a vic.
lent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more OBJ
vious as he had been fred upon at a
great distance in the Irish sea on Au.
gust 14-that is, a few days before
by large passenger steamer, appar
emily belonging to the British Royal
Mail Steam Packet company, which he
had neither attacked nor stopped.
The German government most deep
ly regrets that lives were lost through
the action of the commander 1t par.
ticularly expresses this regret to the
government of the United States on
account Of the death of American citi-
Zens.
The German government is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obIiga.
tion to grant indemnity in the matter.
even if the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tentions Of the Arabic.
II it should prove to be the case that
it is impossible for the German and
American governments to reach har-
monious opinion on this point, the Ger.
man government would be prepared to
submit the difference of opinion, as be
ing question of international law, te
The Hague tribunal for arbitration,
pursuant to article 33 of The Hague
convention for the pacific settlement
Of international disputes.
In SO doing it assumes that as a mat
ter of course the arbitral decision shall
not be admitted to have the impor-
tance of general decision on the per-
instability or the converse under in.
ternational law. of German submarine
warfare.
