LONDON. May 1S-Three Of the
Zeppelin monsters counted upon for
tine great German air raid on Lon
don, have been utterly destroyed and
a fourth so badly damaged that II is
doubtful if it reached land, accord
ing to special dispatches received
here today.
Besides the Zeppelin reported to
have been brought down near Dun
kirk, following its attack on Calais
early yesterday, a second dirigible
was destroyed by fire from a French
torpedoboat and fell into the Chan
mel. the correspondent of the Daily
News reported today. Its crew is
thought to have been drowned.
A third Zeppelin fell in the Gier-
lesche woods in Belgium and was so
badly wrecked it was dismantled, Rot

miralty concerning the Zeppelin dam

PARIS. May 1s.-Two thousand
Germans were slaughtered by smell

stand on the west bank Of the Nser'
according to official dispatches to the
war office today.
The Germans fought valiantly to
retain the positions they had won at
terrible loss of life. They counter
attacked with great daring, but we're
pressed back steadily while shrapnel
moved down their ranks.
Heavy artillery Of the allies demol-
ished several bridges over the User.
Those that remained were jammed
with retreating Germans, attempting
TO carry off some of their wounded
officers. The official report said that
in addition TO 1000 bodies the allied
troops found several hundred rifles
in the enemy's abandoned trenches.
Last night the Germans made sew
eral attempts to cross the canal by
surprise attacks. From sunset until
sunrise today the French illumined
the whole district with white light

that approached the canal was spat-

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The Ger

conciliate the United States. De-
spite denials for public consump-
tion," Il was learned definitely today
that Count Won BernstOrff, the Ger
man ambassador. and DR.. Constantine
r. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador,
have recommended to their home gov
ornments that extreme concessions
should be made to America at this
time. They have reported that the
Presidents demands are endorsed by
the entire people and have pointed out
that compliance with them would do
more TO renew American sympathy
for Germany than all other efforts
fathered from Berlin since the war
started. In addition. they have said
there is a growing feeling Of irrita-
tlon against British methods, which
should be taken advantage of now
and can benefit only German II the
latter proves that Americas wishes
have great weight in Berlin.
Whether or not these recommendations
will be effective is not known. Past
records, some officials suggest, would in

tions of amba ssadors received scant con

was shot by Senator Freitas while en-
route to Lisbon. has died of his

to the Spanish minister of the inter-
ior described the situation as very
critical"
Another dispatch from Lisbon today
said that Premier Chagan is still
alive and may recover. He probably
will lose the sight of his right eye,
it was stated.
The Spanish government is en-
deavOring to communicate with the
commander of the Spanish battleship
Espana. supposed to have arrived off
Lisbon harbor. If reports of new dis
turbances are true he will be instruct
ed to land marines to protect Span
iards and other foreigners.
All dispatches from the Portuguese
capital were greatly delayed today.
There was no official confirmation Of
the report that Premier Chagas had
died of his wounds, but a message
sent from Lisbon late last night said
he was expected to live but few
hours. He was shot four times and
his skull fractured while en- route to
Lisbon from Oporto to become the
head of the new government. Sena-

SELBYVILLE MAY
GET DUPONT ROAD
Rights of Way for Eighteen
Mile Stretch Secured
by Boulevard
PROPERTY owners CLAD
TO renew The OPTION
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del. May 1S.-
Hope that General T. Coleman dupont
will begin construction of the DUPONT
boulevard through at least a part of
Sussex county in the very near fu-
ture has been raised by developments
of the past week or two that have
Just become known.
Not only are there indications that
General DUPONT is preparing to turn
loose a force of road builders, but
there are widespread evidences that
Sussex county residents are as keen
as ever. If not more so. for the du-
Pont boulevard to traverse that
county.
It has become known that repre-
sentatives of the DUPONT Road, Incor-
porated have just renewed the right
of way privileges for the DUPONT
boulevard from Georgetown to Selby-
vile, and there are intimations that
the construction work will be started
soon on the eighteen-mile stretch of
road from the county seat to the Mary
land line at Selbyville
While there Is no official statement.
the news has caused the greatest in
terest and raised the hopes of the
thousands OF Sussex residents who
are eager for completion of the du-
Pont boulevard. Many persons see in
the renewed activities along the pro-
posed route of the boulevard an indi-
cation that the dirt will fly in a few
weeks.
AS is we'll known, the section be-
tween Selbyville and Georgetown is
the most insistent in the State for
building of the DUPONT boulevard. A
great majority OF the property own.
ers are so eager for the road that
they gave the right of way. and 9th.
ers sold the right of way for a nomi
nal consideration. Many Of the prop
erty owners gave options with tim'
limit for right Of way, and man!
Of the options expired a year or 81
ago.
Showing the general friendlinesi
toward the boulevard project, wheI
agents for the boulevard corporation
last week called on the property own
ers and asked them to renew the op
tions. practically all signed up with
out objection and we're glad to do SO
Through two or three properties
where the right of way had not beel
secured, il was obtained last week
and the entire path is opened for con
struction of the boulevard from
Georgetown to Selbyville, a distanc
of eighteen miles. This work ha
been under the supervision of Charlie
w. Cullen, of Georgetown.
So far as can be learned, no effor
has been made to secure the right o
way from Georgetown through Ger
tain properties not yet secured t
the Sussex line at Milford, whic
leads to the impression that Genera
dupont may build the boulevard fror
Georgetown to Selbyville as an aI
probation of the loyal manner i
which property owners along tina
route supported the boulevard pre-
ject.
When inquiry was made at the Of
fee of General DUPONT in the duPoI
Building this morning as to whethe
he intended to build the boulevard b'
tween Georgetown and Selbyville,
was stated that he is in New Yorl
and will not return to Wilmingto
until about Saturday.
