DAMAGE DONE BY AEROPLANES
over ENGLAND IS NEGLIGIBLE

London, April 16.-(3 P. MD.-The dam
age done by the German aeroplanes in
Kent has been negligible so far as is
known up to the present time. Two
bombs were dropped on Faversham but
no damage resulted.
The aeroplane which dropped bombs on
Faversham was shot at by local marks
men but their aim apparently was poor.
Flying over Sittingbourne the airmen
dropped another bomb, but the only re-
suit was the digging of hole in an or
chard. Still another bomb was dropped
into chalk quarry. The German ma
chine then started for the sea by way of
Deal, from which direction it had ap-
peared over Kent.
The German machine, which was Of the
biplane type, flew also over Sheerness.
Here the anti-air craft guns fired on it
and the machine was seen suddenly to
dip. The spectators thought it had been
winged and they cheered wildly.
The aeroplane, however, righted and
again assembled. Then. 1t travelled at 8
high rate Of speed across the Isle OF
Sperry, at the mouth or the Thames
and escaped to the open sea. Apparent
ly no bombs were dropped on Sheerness
British aeroplanes are said to have gone
in pursuit of the machine. which appear
ed over Sittingbourne, but no report from
them has yet been given out.

duced the first bit of shop talk. He point
ed with emphasis to the high average
wages which are paid operatives and to
the desirability of a shoe factory for
reason of its lack of unnecessary noises

also argued that Augusta was free from
labor dissensions, point strongly in the
city's favor.

that Mr.. Crossett was very favorably
impressed with Augusta. He told me
that this was the first city to come to
him with a definite answer as to what

which the present opportunity had arous-
ed. He pointed to the necessity of pull

ENGLAND PROTESTS
HADlEY SHOOTING

London, April Isis p. M.-Great
Britain, acting through the American
ambassador at Berlin, it is announced,
has made the strongest protest
against the alleged action of Capt.
Nicolay OF the German army in shoot
ing and killing in a train from Berlin
on Aug. 8, the son of Henry Hadley, a
British teacher of languages.
At the request of Great Britain the
American embassy inquired into the
matter, it is stated, and received a
statement from the German authori-
ties to the effect that Hadley had pre-
tended to the conductor of the train
that he did not understand or speak
German, and did not know where he
was going. He acted in conspicuous
and impolite manner, it is said, and
made ircnicaI remarks regarding pass
ing officers.
Capt Nicolay was called by the
conductor and the officer forbade Had
ley TO leave the train. Hadley then
the officer is said to have reported, as
sumed an aggressive attitude, and
thinking he was about to be attacked

were instituted, but were discontinued
after an investigation Of the case.

ed as murder and that justice has no,

ancy No one seemed to know just
how successful the Boston committee
had been nor yet exactly how much
money had been raised by the solicit
ing committee.
Then the banquet finished, the ia
bles cleared chairs pushed back and
cigars lighted, big Walter Wyman, the
rcsourceful president of the Augusta
Board of Trade, rose TO his feet and
in a few words called on Postmaster
Plaisted to report on the amount
raised during the week past.
And when that gentleman ANNOUNCE
ed TO his expectant audience that 12o
of Augusta citizens had pledged $780,
600 towards the building of the fac
tory he was greeted with tremendous
applause. And not one of those in
terviewed.' he continued, failed to re-
spond and with the added assurance
that they were glad to do It," Such
magnificent spirit and hearty cooper
alton have helped the committee Won

to raise he stated was about $4,000 to
$4,000. This sum he thought would

But encouraging as the subscrip-
tions have been it by no means Sc
cures the factory. Other cities in
Maine. and Manchester. n. H., are in
the field and making strong overtures
to the Crossett people.
Mr.. Wyman next called on T. c.
Ingraham who was among those who
accompanied the Boston delegation.
Mr.. Insraham graphically related the
meeting. In fact he got right down
to dots. He repeated verbation parts
of the interview. When Mr.. Crossett
asked: Gentlemen have you made
up your mind what rental you are 60
ing to charge us once the factory Is
erected" 1t was Mr.. Wyman who re-
piled, come on your terms, Mr.. Cros-
sett." Mr.. Ingraham then showed how
thoroughly the shoe company had con-
sidered the project. They have. HI
said been three years planning for
this move. They don't tell US how
many men they will employ, but then
if they come here they will come here
