German pennGnt attached to sack
containing sand was found to-day on
the roof OF house near one of those
demolished here by Zeppelin bombs
last night and handed over to the Mil
itary Governor. The raiding alrship
evidently was manned by pilots well
acquainted with the locality, since it
came from the sea directly 70 Fonti-

Of its greatest width.
The first missile of the bombardment
fell when the Zeppelin was above the
point where the railroad tracks inter
cept. Il went through the footbridge
and struck the track leading to Dunkirk.
The airship then rose somewhat higher
in the air and dropped five bombs in
rapid succession. All fell in the vicin-
ity of the railroad.
Other bombs fell in the garden and
on the roof of a little house in the
Rue Dognien. An old man and little
girl asleep in the garnet and the fam
lily which occupied the cottage on the
ground floor, consisting of the father,
mother and two children, were buried
in the ruins. All were killed except
one child-a baby five months old
which was taken uninjured from the
twisted mass of brick and plaster.
The front Of the house was cut off
as clearly as though it had been done
by gigantic knife.

JASON CROSSES WAR ZONE
Golfers Safe Arrival at Bris
toll Relieves Washington.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The United
States collier Jason arrived safely at
Bristol, England, last night, after a
five-day journey from Barcelona, Spain,
crossing the war zone surrounding the
British Isles without sighting a Ger
man submarine. This announcement
greatly relieved Secretary Daniels and
the officers Of the Navy Department,
who were exceedingly solicitous for
the safety Of the vessel
The Jason is on the return trip from
her journey 20 Europe to distribute
the relief gifts Of the American people
sent 20 the scene Of the European hos
tilities. Her call at Barcelona was
20 take on board the Spanish exhibit
for the Panama. Pacific Exposition al
San Francisco. Bristol was 20 be her
last port Of call before returning 20
the United States.
Mines were the principal source Of
for the officials Of the
Navy Department, as the Jason Is OF
a type that is unusual in European
waters and her peculiar contour Is
well known 10 the navy men Of Europe
and unmistakably American. For this
reason il was felt that no submarine
would have any doubt As 10
her Identity.

BRITISH SHIPPING
LOSS $26,750,OO0
J. Bruce lsmay Tells War Risks
Association Submarine Peril
Is Exaggerated.

Liverpool. Feb. 23.-J. Bruce Ismay,
presiding to-day at meeting of the
liverpool and London War Risks As
sociation, said that the shipping en-
tered in this association was valued
at 10000, 900 100000, 10000; that the
vessels identified with the association
which had been lost during six months
Of the war were valued at only $780,
0OO and the cargoes at ei,5OO,OOO. The
cargoes represented only IA shillings
per cent (seven-tenths of per cent?
of the total value of the cargoes at
risk.
This, he said, constituted a magnif-
cent tribute to the efficacy of the pro-
lection afforded by the British navy
and showed that the submarine peril
had been greatly exaggerated. Sub
marines had proved far less dangerous
than swift, well handled cruisers.

DYNAMITE UNDER
! JAP FAIR EXHIBIT
Fuse Failed to Burn-Bad
Feeling Aroused
i'm Toxic.
LEr TELEGRAPH 20 The Tribune J

San Francisco, Feb. 23.-An attempt
70 blow up the Japanese building at
the Panama Pacific Exposition was dis
covered yesterday by q janitor, who
found in the basement, beneath huge
showcase, a stick of dynamite and a
half-burned fuse. Every effort was
made TO keep the discovery secret, but
this morning a guarded story was pub
lished IN a local japanese paper
The rumor Is current that several
ether sticks of dynamite were found in
the building, but other than TO &C
knowledge that one stick was found the
local japanese Consul will not discuss
the subject. A searching investigation
is in progress, but so Tar there is no
clew 70 the identity of the man or men
who attempted to wreck the structure.
From prominent persons in the Jap
anese colony comes the information
that the government in Toxic has been
apprised of the act and that much bad
feeling has been created, not only
among the japanese in this city, but
in Japan as well. In the local colony
It has been asserted that had the plan
to destroy the building been success
full it is doubtful if the japanese gov
eminent could have withstood a clamor
for reprisal by force and that dec
laration Of war undoubtedly would
have ensued.
On the part of the Japanese Consul
here and the more conservative of the
prominent members Of the Japanese
colony there is a disposition to place
the blame for the act on a crank,
and this explanation is being made 10
placate the more radical members Of
the local colony.
Representations 10 this effect also
have been made TO the Japanese papers
in Toxic and other cities in Japan.

U. s. BULLETS AID
BRITISH In WAR
English Get $500, 1000
Cartridges Each Week,
Suit Reveals.

Two sources OF supply for smmuni-
ton for the British army were re-
vealed in a suit fled In the Supreme
Court According to the papers in
this action, England Is receiving l,6OO,-
900 cartridges a week from the Rem
ington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge
Company and 100000 a week from
the Winchester Repeating Arms Com
pany. These two concerns have con-
tracts TO supply Great Britain with
the output of their factories.
These details appear in the suit
which Marcellus Hartley Dodge, who
does business under the corporate name
Of the Remington ATms-Union Metallic
! Cartridge Company, has filed against
| Charles K. and Wallace 3. Flint, con-
shutting the firm Of Flint e. Co.. com
mission merchants and promoters, and
more particularly in the answer and
counter claim of the defendants fled

Dodge sued Flint & Co. to recover
balance Of S43,613 on bill Of Sl6S,6le
| for arms and ammunition suppliec
from June % to August 4, 1914. ms
/ war material, it is understood, was
/ sent to Mexico.
/ The answer Of Flint G. Co. TO this
/ action is a denial Of the alleged IN
debtedness and a counter claim toi
/ 100000 damages for a breach OF con
| tract. which had for its purpose the
supplying OF England with cartridges
/ Flint & Co. alleged that on August
IA, 1914 they entered into q contract
under which the Remington Arms-Unlor
Metallic Cartridge Company was TO turn
over its weekly output OF l,5OO,OOO
cartridges to the British government
/ for which the Flint firm, acting as
agents, had received the order Flint
e Co. also undertook to obtain the
1000. 900 weekly production Of the Win
chester factory. Flint & Co. agreed
il is understood, to take this entire
output for an indefinite period at
large profit for all concerned.
After successfully negotiating this
contract with the Winchester company
/ Flint & Co. alleges Dodge made secret
contract with the Winchester concern
to take the cartridges for which Flint
G. Co. had made an offer, and, without
considering the defendant IN the trans
action, supplied the cartridges TO the
British government at a large profit
There was still another contract be
tween plaintiff and defendant, the lat
ter alleges, which was made IN Lon
don about week after the first con.
tract, by the terms Of which Flint &
Co. was to receive per cent Of the
/ gross amount realized.
According TO Flint & Co., the plain

fused access to the books. The de.
