Fifteen Citizens Killed In Siege-AII
Aerial Assalants Made Escape

London.-Four German aeroplanes
have flown several times over the city
Of Dunkirk recently, dropping bombs
as they went. Soldiers in the streets
fired on the machines and one Taube
seemed to be hit, but all got safely
away.
The official returns of the casualties
show that fifteen persons were killed
and thirty-two wounded. The bombs
were filled with shrapnel. |
For half an hour the whole city,
cracked with rife shots and bombs,
which threw up dense clouds of black
smoke. No sooner did one aeroplanel
seem to depart than another arrived
Buildings in all parts of the city were
wrecked.
The first bomb fell on the fortifca-
tions two more near the railway sta
ton and many others in different parts
of the town and in the suburb of
Rosendaell and the districts of Coude-
kerque and Fumes. One child had an
arm blown off and an old woman was
killed outright.
The fifth aeroplane remained as SEN
try outside the town ready to attack
any of the allies aeroplanes that
might seek to repel the air assailants.

BRITISH PAY FOR WHEAT
English Prize Court Orders American
Wheat Shippers Be Paid For
Captured Grain

Washington.-The decision of the
British prize court in London in the
case of the British steamship Mirami-
chi, loaded with wheat and shipped
from America to German consignees
prior to the war, was announced here
by the British embassy. The court
held that the wheat was still the prop
erty of the American claimants and or.
dered that they be paid for it. The
embassy issued the following state
ment:
"The case of the British steamship
Miramichi has recently come before the
prize court at London. The vessel was
one of large number which had ship
ped cargoes of wheat in the United
States before the outbreak of war con-
signed to German firms in Germany.
Generally the documents had not been
taken up by the German buyers and
money had been advanced on the car
goes by neutral bankers. The case
was therefore submitted to the prize
court as a test case in order that the
point Of law might be determined
whether the goods were at the time Of
seizure the property Of the American
shippers or of the German consignees."

Vera Cruz.-Gen. Jesus Carranza, a

Alfonso Santibanez, on the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec. General SaDtibanez
shot CarranZa's entire staff, except his
son, Abelardo Carranza, and Ignacio
Peraldi. They are also held as cap

The executions took place after Cen

Venustiano had failed to induce Venus

their release.
Jesus Carranza was returning from
a visit to Pacific ports to report to
Gen. Venustiano Carranza here when

of his force had been sent forward
from Salina Cruz over the Tehuante-
pee railway. Carranza and his staff,
travelling in the rear, were overpow-
cred at San Geronimo.
Gen. Venustiano Carranza declared
that not even for the sake Of his
brother could he countenance any ar
engagements that any military man act
ing on his own initiative might make,
and after a day of receiving messages
signed in the name of Jesus Carranza,
but apparently sent by the one who
was holding him prisoner, he ordered
a movement of troops that resulted in
a sharp engagement at Chevela sta
ton, on the Tehuantepec railway.

State Is Urging Farmers Who Hold Use.
less Timber Lands to Till
Their Soil
INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED
Flower State Could Become One Of
The Leading Corn And Stock
Raising States

allahassee.-Florida has millions of
"cut-over" lands-that is, lands from
which the timber has been cut. This
land is lying idle, and is, therefore,
profitless to it's owners, and to the
state at large. If the taxes on these
lands were high, it would be too ex-
pensive in some instances to warrant
holding them. AS they are low, they
yield very little revenue to the state
or the counties in which they are To-
Gated.
There are hundreds of owners of
lands of this class, who could we'll af-
ford to organize themselves into a body
to secure farmers to develop these
lands and put them in cultivation.
Most of them are susceptible of cult
walton and being made profitable to
the owners and to the state at large.
Florida could cooperate with such
movement on the part of owners by
furnishing soil experts, and state rep
resentatives who could classify lands
and prepare statements signed by such
representatives of the state, thus as
surfing the public of the kind and class
of lands to be sold, and the things
they would produce, what it would cost
to get it ready for cultivation, and to
produce profitable crops, its nearness
to market and all other information a
possible customer would seek.
If all these lands that could be
profitably farmed were in cultivation,
Florida farmers would be raising more
corn than some of the big corn-produc-
ing states; more hay than some of the
big hay-producing states; more hogs
and cattle than some Of the stock
raising states; more poultry than
some of the poultry-taising states. And
Florida would be permanently one of
the most prosperous states in the I'm
ion. Agriculture has come into its
own. There will never be time when
the world will not demand more and
more foodstuffs and the prices will be
high, and they can be produced at
profit.
