ZEPPELINS lombard PARIS;
EIGHT PERSONS INJURED
Little Material Damage Is Done-In-
Vaders Were Attacked and Driven
Away by Aviators.

Paris, March 23.-The first Zeppe-
lin raid on Paris was carried out early
Sunday. Four bombs were dropped in
the city and IS in the suburbs. Seven
or eight persons were injured, one Sc
riously, but none fatally. The mate
rial damage was slight
The raiders were driven off by
French aeroplane patrols and the fire
of antiairship guns. One of the raid
ers appeared to have been hit.
In their retreat the raiders dropped
bombs on Compiegne, Ribecourt and
Dreslincourt. Some were explosive
and some of incendiary character. No
damage was suffered at these places.
Probably the most remarkable feature
of the raid was the department of
the population.
Warned of the coming of the Yep
pelins, men and women clad in night
attire f1ocked in gay and jocular pro-
cessions from their sleeping apart
ments to the streets, or in the case
of the more discreet, to the cellars of
their homes. The dicipline of the
city's residents was marvellous. There
was a complete absence of panic.
When the Zeppelins approached
whistles were blown and the sleeping
residents aroused, all lights were ex-
tinguished and when the raiders ar
rived over the city the capital was
completely obscured.
1t was a beautiful starlight night.
There was a light westerly breeze
blowing. The approach of the raiders
was signaled from at least twenty
places.
Half dozen aeroplanes were wheel
ing upward to beat them off and high
angle guns were blazing from several
different points.
1t was the rapid appearance of an
aeroplane squadron, each machine
flashing small, but powerful,
searchlight-that prevented the raid
ers from attacking the center of the
city. with it's historic monuments.
Everywhere the department of the
people was remarkable. The "qui
vive" lasted for three hours, the bu-
giles rallying the people to bed again
shortly after four o'clock. The dan

RUSSIANS CAPTURE GREAT
FORTRESS OF PRZEMYSL
MuscoVites Enter GaIician City With
out Firing Shot-Hunger and
Disease Force Surrender

London, March 24.-The white flag
was hoisted on the fortress of Pre-
mysl on Monday and the Russian
army entered the city without firing a
shot after siege of six months to the
day that has few parallels in history.
Fifty thousand Austrian soldiers, 200
officers and nine generals threw down
their arms and surrendered, worn to
the last extremity by disease and
hunger. The fall of the fortress is re-
garded in Petrograd and London as
the greatest victory for Russian arms
since the beginning of the war.
Following up quickly the advantage
gained by the capture of the Austrian
stronghold, the Russian army has be-
gun gigantic battle along the en-
tire Carpathian front. Reinforce
ments have been rushed into the
mountains in the expectation of the
fall of Przemsyl and everywhere the
Austrians are being attacked with
marked stubbornness.
The most violent conflicts are TAX
ing place in the vicinity of the Dukla,
Uszok and Lupkow passes, which are
the three principal passes nearest
Przemsyl, from which they are dls'
tant only about fifty miles.

Extensive precautions have been
taken in London to guard art treas
ures against the menace of air raids.
The custodians of art galleries and
museums long ago removed to vaults
or similar places the most precious
of their portable exhibits. At the
British museum a number of priceless
manuscripts, books, and other objects
have been stored away in safes. Some
measure of risk must, however, be
borne in building which contains
40 miles of bOokshelves and massive
pieces of sculpture. Visitors to the
National gallery find the major part
of the building closed At the Guild
hall the most valuable pictures have
been placed in the basement. The
magnificent Gainsborough, 'Fording
the River" has been removed from
the walls. In the corporation strong
room in the basement is stored what
is probably the finest collection of
municipal records in the world. 1t
includes the charter of William the
Conqueror ito William, Bishop and
Gosfegdh, Portreeve, and all the bur-
gesses within London" securing to
them their ancient liberties. Every
reign since the Conqueror is repre-
scented in the charters.

viii Create Precedent.

The first instance in Europe of the
use of submarine cable for the trans
portation of high voltage electric pow
er current will be in connection with
the project for supplying practically
all of Denmark with cheap electricity
for both light and power, generated by
waterpower in Sweden. When COM
pleted, power sufficient to provide for
an area of 500 square miles will be
brought across three high-pressure
cables laid under "the sound" at the
entrance of the Baltic sea. The cleo
tricity is to be generated with power
from the Swedish river Lagan, supple
mented with the use of low-grade coal.

STORM SAVED BURNING SHIP
Waves, Breaking Over Abandoreos
Craft, Extinguished the 6lazb@g
Renzine.

A strange shipwreck story, unreport-
ed by cable from the Azores, arrived
at New York from Horta, Fayal, by the
Holland-America freighter Zaandyk,
which was forced to put into this port
by heavy weather that reduced her
coal supply. Captain Barendsen says
he learned from the skipper of the
Norwegian tank steamship La Habra,
which arrived at Horta on February Z,
bound from Talara bay, Peru. by way
of the Panama canal, for London, that
her cargo of benzine caused an explo-
sion aboard as she was nearing the
Azores to replenish her bunkers.
La Habra was quickly ablaze from
stem to stern. About half of the crew
were on the forward part of the tank
and the other half aft. Fearing that
the falls and other boat gear would
be burned, the tanks skipper ordered
all hands to leave her in lifeboats and
stand by. The engines had been
stopped and La Habra drifted into the
trough and, as she was deeply laden,
the seas, which were very high, washed
over her.
The chief officer and five men were
in boat towing astern when the
matches of the tank were blown off and
cataracts of blazing benzine shot over
her sides and stern. The boats painter
was burned off and the chief officer
and his men went drifting down the
blast, being without oars or sail, and
disappeared. The other boats were
threatened with destruction by the
burning benzine, which spread out all
around La Habra, making her look like
fire ship III lake of fame.
The skipper of the tank expected
her to be destroyed utterly before his
eyes. He was elated when a giant
comber broke around her, dousing the
fire almost completely. Other seas
helped in the work. and all hands ex-
cept the chief officer and those in the
vanished boat went back on their ship.
They found that all charts, books and
instruments of navigation had been de-
stroyed.

Washington, March 26.-Gen. Lucio
Blanco, the Phil" Sheridan of the
Mexican revolutionists, so denominat-
ed because of his dashing qualities as
cavalryman, has been executed by a
hiring squad of Villa troops after trial
on charge of treason to the conven-
ton government of Mexico.
The execution took place January
~ at Aguascalientes, but the facts
were suppressed.
General Blanco was minister of the
interior in the cabinet of Eulalio Gu
tlerrez, and was one of the cabinet
leaders who accompanied the retiring
provisional president when he fed
from Mexico City The others were
Gen. Jose Ysobel Robes, minister of
war, and Jose Vasconcellos, minister
of education. All started for Pachuca,
but Blanco fell behind and was cap
tured by Villistas.
Advices reaching the state depart
ment indicate that the Villa cam
paign against the border ports of
Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo is pro-
crossing rapidly. An attack on Mata-
moros is expected almost momentar-
lily.
1t appears that General Naffarate
has 5000 men in the garrison and that
the citizens of Matamoros have decid-
ed at a mass meeting to help him de-
fend the port against the 5000 Villa
troops marching on the place
Official reports from Tampico say
the American steamer Garfield has
been held by the custom house there
for two days for having obtained
clearance in Tampico from the Villa
consul through mistake. The issue
has been referred to General Carranza.

which American Irvine manufacturers

safety and transportation of the

Colville Barclay, counsellor of the

May Abandon Seal Hunting.

Unless some plan can be devised
within a month whereby the skins and
oil of the hair seal can be utilized by
the British government for war sup
plies, there is a strong possibility that
the seal hunt, which has been an i'm
portant factor in the commerce of
Newfoundland for many years, will be
abandoned for the coming season. Be-
cause of industrial depression and the
war. none of last years catch of 1884,
600 has been disposed of, and about
half OF the great catch of $4,000 skins
in 1913 remains in the hands of brokers'
in London and New York.
