ENGLAND PLUNGED
INTO DARKNESS
Prompt Action When Warned of zeppe
lin Raid - Co-ordinating Ma
tional Energies.

LONDON. April u, 1926 p. m.-Eng-
land experienced a second Zeppelin raid
last night, when German airship made
an extensive flight over the northeastern
coast in an abortive attempt to damage
the shipbulding works along the river
Tyne
With the exception of negligible damage
to property and slight injury to two civil
ians the attack was fruitiess.
The promptness with which cities and
towns in the district were plunged into
darkness when the coming of the Zeppe-
Inns was announced undoubtedly prevented
greater damage.
As it was some narrow escapes were
avoided, with bombs falling near passen-
ger trains and close to a ship yard.
According to special dispatches in Lon
don both Austria and Russia still con
tinue to claim local successes in the Carpa-
thians Nevertheless it would appear that
the reinforced Austro-German forces have
checked the main Russian offensive in the
region Of Uzsok pass.

Prohibition of Use of Vodka Released
Enormous Potato Crops for Food

LONDON, April 13.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press.) The
prohibition of the use of vodka in

The greater part of the Russian po,
tato crop was planted by the distillers

an end to this, it was predicted that
the phenomenal potato output of this
year would be dead loss to the grow
ers. The best potato land in Russia
is in Poland and the crop was being
gathered when von Hindenburg began

DIVER WALKED ON
U. S. SUBMARINE F-4
Crilley Found Ship at Depth of 288
Feet = No Growths to Impede
Hosting Operations.

HONOLULU, April 15.-Chief Gun
ner's Mate Frank Crilley went 2SS feet
under water here yesterday and walked
along the top Of the submarine FL,
which disappeared March 25. The
depth is said by naval officers to be a
world 5 record.
The best previous record was PA
feet, by $. j. Drellishalz, also chief
gunner s mate, who is one of the naval
divers sent from New York with
Crillev for expert work on the F-4
Drellishak' s dive was made from the
destroyer Wake in 1.-The Race, : the
deepest hole in Long Island sound
Crilley found the F4 lying in a
smooth, sandy bottom, with no coral
orowths to impede hosting operations.
She Law on her starboard side, her bow
pointing shoreward Two parted lines
were found attached to the craft.
After Crillev reported, it was said
further observations probably would be
made before an attempt is made to
raise the F-4. Crilley went down in
an ordinary diving suit, the recon-
preston chamber designed to reduce
pressure on the diver not being used.
Chief Gunners s Mate George ID.
Stillson also descended to the bottom
after Crllley had located the wreck
He says the superstructure of the sub
marine Is caVed in and the hull filed
with water. Stillson reported that
aside from damage to the superstruct-
ure he was unable to find any other
holes and that the top plates were not
crushed in.
Work was to be begun today, it was
announced, to make other lines fast to
the submarine. Two lines are already
secured to the wreck. Neither Crilley
who was under water two hours, nol
Stillson. suffered i'll effects
The Japanese cruiser Idzumo, or
leaving Honolulu, steamed in a semi
circle about the point whore the sub
marine is believed to lie. The crew
was drawn up in salute and the war
ship 5 flag was dipped, in honor of the
q men who died on board the FL.

MADNESS IN GERMAN ARMY.
Alarming Increase of Gases Com
mented on by Professor Gaupp.

LONDON, April a. - a despatch
from Lausanne, Switzerland, dated
April says that according to the
Suisse Natinale, Professor Gaupp, a
nerve specialist of Iubingen, has been
drawing attention in the Munchener
MedeMn Wochenscrift to an alarming
increase IN eases of madness in the
German army.
At the commencement of the war, he
saws, the state of nerves Of the troops
was better than could have been hoped
for, but even then numerous eases of
overexcitement could be observed
manifesting themselves in the shape OF
insomnia and a tendency to abnormal
intoxication.
Since then, and especially since the
French offensive Of the middle of De
cember, very large number of gaps
have been caused by nervous and men
tai affections, morbid excitement, anC
nervous provocation. These break
downs occur among the unwounded
the explosion of a bomb or the fate o1
comrade being sufficient to produc,
them.
The acute symptoms Of these affec
tions. paralysis, convulsions, loss o
] speech, delirium, or hallucinations of
| ten disappear under careful hospita
treatment. but in most cases reappea
on the return of the men to the front
The suggestion even Of a return to tn
front has often been sufficient to sen,
men mad.

Is DEAD, 20 INJURED
IN DETROIT COLLISION
Freight Cars Run Into Trolley
Crowded with Laborers on Their
Way Home.

DETROIT, April 15.-Fifteen persons
were killed and about 20 were injured late
yesterday in a collision between Detroit
City street car and a string of freight cars
pushed by a switch engine ON the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton Railroad. Most of the
dead are foreigners whose homes were be-
yond the western limits of the city -Four
Of them are women The street car was
heavily loaded with passengers homeward
bound from their day work.
As the car approached the railroad cross
ing it stopped and the conductor ran ahead
to see if the track was clear. He signaled
the motorman to wait, but apparently the
latter. who is said to have been inexpe-
rienced, misunderstood his meaning He
applied the power and the car ran rapidly
down an incline and onto the railroad
tracks
The freight ears struck the trolley fairly
in the middle, smashing it almost to bits.
The wreckage was pushed along 100 feet,
several of the dead and injured dropping
along the street before the train was
brought to standstill Others were
crushed in the splintered mass Of steel and
wood and it was several hours before they
could be extricated and their exact num-
ber known.
Many private automobiles rushed tq the
| scene of the accident and these, together
with the ambulances which responded to
the call for help, carried the injured to the
| hospitals
| 1t was announced late today that the
recovery of at least three OF the persons
injured was considered improbable.
/ An investigation in behalf Of the state
TO determine the responsibility of the acci
dent has been begun and at the same time
! the police department and county coroner
are conducting separate inquiries.
+. c. Westover, student motorman, who
was operating the car when it ran onto
the railroad crossing, and Richard Nallade

allowed the use Of the fair grounds by
the high school, Fort Dummer Heights
residents, and others, for athletic pur-
poses and a general playground, viii close
the grounds unless there is an immediate
change in the treatment OF property there
The privilege has been generally abused
Windows have been broken. buildings
broken into, doors torn off hinges, and
articles left in the buildings for storage
have been removed and destroyed or dam
aged apparently for the pure JOY Of dam
aging something.
The buildings are Uttered with bottles
that have contained cheap whiskey and
beer and yesterday a fire was started in
the grass back of barn \ and apparently
it was only good fortune that prevented
the building catching fire.

grounds, but that the property must be
/ respected. and ii such work continued the
grounds would be closed to all and the

Result from Conference of King with
Foreign Minister and the Cabinet.

ROME, April IA long audience
granted by King Victor Emmanuel to
Foreign Minister Sonnino followed by
a session Of the council OF ministers,
the first since March 2s, resulted III
the circulation of many wild rumors
regarding q decision as TO Italy S at
titude concerning the war. A semi-of-
fetal statement was issued, however,
denying that any such action had been
taken. Baron Sonnino. it was pointed
out, frequently was received by the
king to make reports on the interna-
tional situation while a session Of the
council of ministers had become neces-
sary following the Easter vacation.
An order is printed in the Military
journal directing all army officers to
dull the metal ON their uniforms and
the scabbards of their swords. This is
a measure which usually IS adopted on
the eve of war; After receiving a
warning that in case of mobilization
the public schools would be used to
house troops, the municipal council
met Monday night to discuss what
measures would be taken in such an
emergency. 1t was decided to have
school sessions continued in hired
buildings substituting women for male
teachers. who would be called to the
! cclors. 1t also was decided that SO fal
as possible street cars and other public
utilities would be operated by women
provided mobilization resulted in
shortage OF male employees.

RUSSIAN ADVANCE
HAS BEEN HALTED
Attempt to Break Through Carpathians Not Sue
CesSfuI-Intervento of Rumania in the War
Appears to Be Imminent Operations Along
Western Front at StandstiIl

The failure of the Russian attempt
to invade Hungary was announced to-
day by the German war office.
The statement is made that the eff
forts of the Russian army to break
through the Carpathian passes was not
successful and its attacks at several
points resulted in defeat with heavy
losses.
The consequence is that the attack
ing power of the Russians has lessen
ed visibly. Although reports from
Petrograd eoneede no such reverse
they Indicate that the Russian ad-
vance has been brought virtually to a
halt, although the Russian war office
claims to have made slight progress
near Uzsok pass.
Advices have been received in Rome
from Saloniea that the intervention
in the war of Rumania appears to be
imminent. 1t is said that he Ruma-
Man army is well equipped and ready
for instant action.
Operations along the western front
once more are nearly at ast"udstill.
The counter offensive of the Ger
man s in the Meuse-M MoselIe region
apparently has checked the French in
itiative.
Signs Of increasing activity in Bel
GUM, which, in conjunction with the
Meuse-Moselle battles were regarded as
a possible prelude to the much dis
cussed general offensive, are no longer
apparent.
