Bret Harte wrote IN one of his stories
that you couldn't judge anything by the
appearance of his characters. The big

collection to be found in London.
When Stephen Crane wrote his Red

the police asserted positively today.
The outlines Of attacking craft were

and the birdmen flew westward. An
other aviator, flying swiftly seward

The property damage here was esti-
mated at not to exceed $4,000.
Bombs were dropped on the race
track, It was discovered today, wreck

was done at the city fish wharves..
TWO unexploded bombs, found In
the outskirts and placed on display in

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-(11 a. nj
Once more the futility OF an offensive
attack from the air has been demon
strated; once more women and chill
dren have been killed as the result OF
useless experiments with aerial weap'
ons. The science Of warfare has not
mounted to the heavens. Valuable
observations can be mad.s from above,
but death and destruction cannot be
rained down except upon the innocent
ln.5fe than the guilty.
This is the constant air lesson OF
the war. emphasized anew by the
aerial raid last night upon England.
Civilians are prohibited from making
war on the enemy and the strict ap-
plication of the German military code
in Belgium has demonstrated what
fearful penalties are imposed on civil
population that takes ND arms against
soldiers in uniform. But attacks, 1t
seems, can be delivered against wom-
en- and children by aerial soldiers. not
only without fncurring penalties, but
also without loss Of military honor.
The civilian has no rights. He can
be murdered with impUnity IL military
reasons require that no warning or
bombardment be given to him; and i
he resists he makes himself an out
law to be summarily shot,

United States Government Can Solve it by Bring
ing the Worker and Job Together, is
Opinion of Schiff.
HIS OPINION ON GREAT CORPORATIONS
Others Appear Before Industrial Relations Com
mission and Give Their Views Upon
Capital and Labor.

Ii BY John Edwin Nevin, United Press
Staff Correspondents
NEW YORK. Jan. 2o.-"The United
States government must bring the
worker and the job together
| That Is the solution for the great
problem Of the unemployed In the
opinion OF Jacob II. Schif, master
banker and head OF the firm OF Kuhn,
Loeb and Company. Testifying before
the federal commission on industrial
relations today, Schiff declared the
labor unions OF the country will fare
far better with the large corporations
than they will with the small employ
er. He placed the seal OF his own ap.
proval on the question OF unionism
And he emphatically declared that nc
yself-respecting, manager Of a corpora-
ition will consent to the creation Of .
black list. He insisted that the big
problem facing the United States Is
that Of unemployment. He declared
that 1t was the duty of the federal
government TO solve 1t, as private In
dividuals have failed entirely.
In Schiff's opinion, the day when
great corporations can defy public
opinion, has passed. When abuses
are not corrected, he said, by the
corporations themselves under whip
of public opinion, then that public
opinion usually crystalizes into legts-
lation which correct these abuses.
Asked point blank today IL public
opinion was such corrective, the
mine owners OF Colorado have so de.
fed it, he declared: 'In my opinion
the last word in Colorado has not yet
been written .
Schiff took issue squarely with Sam
uel Untermyer's claim that two great
groups of New York bankers dominate
the great railroad systems OF the coun-
try, declaring It sheer nonsense"
Prof. Jacob H. Hollander Of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, told
the commission that Industrial unrest
is due entirely to poverty and not to
pauperism. .......

What the War Moves Mean
Bv j. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
aqer of the United Press.

II an immense military advantage
were obtained by promiscious bomb
dropping on innocent towns, no pro-
test could be considered for an army
will not sacrifice itself to save civil
lians; but, when serious military gains
are practically impossible and GER
tainly improbable, the rules of war
should give civilians the benefit of the
doubt. Otherwise war moves of this
character develop an intense hatred
which will endanger the international
situation for long years after the war
ends. This is one reason why, as a
strategic measure. modern armies are
supposed to treat civilians with all
possible consideration.
Probably aerial raids on England
encourage daring and heroism by
force Of example among the German
troops. 1t is a dangerous undertaking
to send air craft across the North
sea amid the winter gales and expedf.
tions such as yesterdays are full Of
rteril for the aviators. Doubtless, too,
German public opinion, which has pin.
ned great faith to the effectiveness of
aircraft, has Influenced the present
aid. Nevertheless, killing women and

correspondents in east coast cities
are positive that areoplanes accom-
panied the supposed Zeppelins. One
resident Of Kings Lynn is quoted as
saying emphatical1y, that he saw the
outlines OF an aeroplane.
Dispatches from Kings Lynn do not
state definitely whether an attack
upon the royal residence near Sand
ringham actually was attempted. A
number OF bombs were thrown within
a radius Of few miles from the
country palace. King George and
Queen Mary, however, had left Sand
ringham and returned to Bucking-
ham palace, several hours before the
raid was made.
The Exchange Telegraph's CORES
pohdent ct Cromer reported today
that residents u Rnnton saw the Yep
pelfns plainly. almost the entire popu-
lation rushed into the street upon
hearing the whirring OF the giant
propellers. The Zeppelin that passed
near Runton, was flying at the height
OF about $500 feet.
ITO SittC0 dhu SoWuo NChhASSAy
known to have been bombarded are
the following: Yarmouth. Kings
Lynn, Sherinham, Snettisham, Cor
lesion, Grimston. Beeston, Deersing-
ham and the environs OF sandring-
ham. All Of these were attacked
within q few hours and telephone
wires were hot with warnings to In
terror cities of the approach Of the
raiders.
Preparations to repel just such an
invasion had been made months ago
in London. When the news reached
here special forces Of constables
raced to the northward in motor cars,
hoping to sight the approaching dirt-
gibles in time to warn the city. Bat
teries OF anti-aircraft guns were
training on the northern sky and
giant searchlights swept the horizon
Fears of raid on London were not
wholly dispelled until after dawn
when the Amsterdam dispatches re-
ported the return Of the airships. In
all probability, the airship squadron
started from the German aerial base
at Cuxhaven Weather conditions
we're unusually favorable and the
giant airships SO timed themselves
as to sweep over the 800 Intervening
miles OF the North sea and arrive off
the English coast just after darkness
settled down.
The first attack was made at var
mouth, a famous watering place,
about $780, The towns first warning
was q glare OF light from powerful
searchlight that suddenly directed its
rays over the heart of the city. Two
bombs dropped almost simultaneous

the town into darkness. Five more
bombs were hurled from the SKY

the Russian and German forces are In

Of tho vistuIa and along the railway
line from the Warsaw front to Mlawa
there have been only insIonlficant
combats since January IL. The heavy

blow up the Russian trenches. In this,
however, they have failed, the war Of

been 80 we'll served that they have
demolished one German battery.
The Russian positions on the Rad

18th but the lines held good and the
Germans were repulsed with very
heavy loss. In general The govern
ment considers the situation satisfac-
tory.
AT THE vlsTULA.
PETRoGRAD, Jan. 2o.-Threatened
by another Invasion Of east Prussia,
the Germans are renewing their at
tempt to cross the vistu!a and attack
Grand Duke Nicholas' army In the
rear, according to offtcial reports
brought here today. The Russian lines
north Of the Vistula have been pushed
forward to point beyond LIpno, thir-
ty-five miles northwest of Piock. Con-
tinuation Of their present successes
would bring the Russian forces In
northern Poland to the Prussian bor-
der at point not far distant from
Thorn.
To Offset this Russian advance, the
Germans are again attempting to
cross the vIstuia al It's point Of juno
tion with the Bxura, forty miles west
Of Warsaw, by bridging the island at
this point with pontoons. Their OBJ
ject Is to make rear attack on both

tion point Of the two rivera IL preced-
ina the German attempt to force a
crossing and losses on both sides are
reported heavy.
