MOTHER GIVES 10 SONS
TO FIGHT FOR ENGLAND
; DEAD IN FRANCE, 1 PRISONER,
> WOUNDED AND ONE STILL
FIGHTING.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-(By Mail. y
The mothers record in this war is
held by Mrs. Mary Fury, of DOughrea,
county Galway, Ireland.
She has given ten sons to the Brit
ish army. Five are dead in France.
One lies in a hospital recovering
from wounds. One is a prisoner in
Germany One remains fighting and
another is nursing a right arm shat
tered by a bullet.
This is not all of Mrs Fury's fight
ing family. She has a daughter, Mrs
Mary Cosey, Romford, England. Mrs.
Cosey's husband is one of Romford's
z000 fighting men at the front. Sew
eral weeks ago, Mrs. Cosey supported
her large family of small children
with the aid of two brothers-in-law.
Now they have gone to war and she
is struggling on alone.
What Mrs. Mary Fury and Mrs.
Cosey have suffered in England's g
greatest crisis is the story of hun
dreds of homes of the working class
es in the British Isles. A similar
story can be told in a smaller way
from the mansions of British aristoc-
racy and from the castles" Of the
middle classes. But it does not leave
the sting of poverty that confronts
Mrs. Mary Fury of County Galway
and her sisters of the lower classes.
She viii suffer until her body is
planted in Irish soil and with her

husbands have left the spade and

If conscription comes in Great
Britain it will not find the husbands,

The laboring element is becoming
gradually the searcest element in
Britain. Cities, towns and villages
alike have emptied their houses and

GREAT LABORATORY
FOR INVENTIONS
Secretary Daniels Outlines His
Plans for the Navy.
THE EDISON BOARD TO HELP

Being Done That Would Sur

Washington.-The first work of the
new Naval Advisory Council on Inven.
tions, of which Thomas A. Edison, the
inventor, is chairman, will be to
formulate plans for the establishment
Of a great federal laboratory of expert.
ment and research to be conducted by
the Navy Department for the develop.

Secretary Daniels announced that he
had requested all 20 of the members
Of the new council of inventors to
formulate and submit their ideas for
the establishment of such laboratory.
The nucleus for such a laboratory al
ready exists in the naval experiment
station at Annapolis, and the best
model-testing tank and the aeronautiC
wind tunnel of the Navy at Washing.

The request thus made of the inven.
tions council is in line with the de.
velopment of a plan of which the ad-
visory council is only a part, to de-
velop new ideas for the improvement
Of the material of the Navy.
Mr.. Daniels Ideas.
In explaining his idea Secretary
Daniels said:
"In addition to securing the advice
of the most famous inventors of the
country and in organizing in a prac-
tical and efficient way to get such ad-
vice, l intend greatly to develop the
resources Of the Navy Department
itself and to increase largely its
facilities for experimental work in the
line Of developing unprotected inven-
/ tions.

chiefs of the three bureaus Of con
struction, steam engineering and ord
nance, and in the officers assigned to
those bureaus, men splendidly quail.

ideas and to originate many improve

"As matter Of fact, the work along
those lines that is now being done
under the greatest possible handicaps
by the Navy's own officers would sur

reveal improvements of more or less

GRAPHIC STORIES
| OF ZEPPELIN RAID
Told by EYe-Witnesses ArriV-
ing at New York.
NIGHT OF PANIC IN LONDON
Forty Killed and More Than 200 In.
Jured-speetaele ls Viewed BY
Ambassador Page From the
Embassy Steps.

New York.-A handful of persons
from the millions who saw the first
Zeppelin raid over the heart of Lon
don, on the night of September 6.
reached New York aboard the steam
ships Orduna, Rotterdam and Phila-
delphia, with thrilling stories of the
fight in the sky between the invaders
and British aircraft, and other details
of the damage inflicted, which had
hitherto been suppressed by the Brit
ish censors.
There were said to be three Zep-
pelins in the feet. although those who
told the story had seen but one. They
circled over the theater and hotel dis
trict of London, dropping explosive
and incendiary bombs. One Of the
latter, it was said, destroyed by fire
an entire block Of warehouses within
five minutes walk of st. Paul's
Cathedral. An explosive bomb ripped
through a six-story tenement in the
center of the city, shattering the build
ing from top to bottom and killing a
dozen or more men, women and chill
dren as they slept,
Several bombs, according to the
eyewitnesses, fell near three hospitals
in cluster, the central one of which
was the Opthalmic Hospital, full of
wounded soldiers. All three buildings
were rocked to their foundations and
not pane of glass was left intact.
The patients had to be moved into the
street, where they lay for hours on
their cots, while the damage was re-
paired.
Theater Crowds In Terror.
Pieced together from accounts given
by the Orunda's passengers the story
OF the air raid was as follows:
The raid occurred between 1O.45
and Ills O'Clock on the night of Sep.
tember 8, a raid the previous night
having reached the eastern section of
the city, but not the heart. Persons
asleep in the Metropole, the Victoria
and other hotels in the center Of the
city were awakened by the incessant
whirr of aeroplane engines as the
British air feet took wing to repel
the invaders. Just as the Zeppelins
appeared over the Strand most of the
theaters were pouring their crowds
into the street.
There, according to some passen
gers, panic impended when the first
word of the approaching aircraft was
passed from mouth to mouth in whis
pers. The lights were turned off and
men and women in evening clothes
fought for taxicabs and other vehicles
to take them home. Other passengers
said there was no panic, but that a
great wave of fear seemed to enguli
this section of the darkened city be
fore the anti-aircraft guns began tc
pop away.

Washington. - After nearly FIVE
years Of revolution, three administra-
tions of Provisional Presidents, two
years of 'watchful waiting" measure
less suffering, property loss, stagna-
ton and national Generalization.
peace in Mexico now seems possible.
And II 1t comes, as promised, by
the recognition of Carranza, it will
come without American interference,
without the sacrifice of unnecessary
lives Of American soldiers, and with
out any yielding on the part of the
Taft and Wilson administrations to
the incessant clamor for forcible inter-
vention.
Main Hope In carranza.
1t is true, of course, that Carranza
has not yet been recognized. He has
not yet given evidence of complete
| domination of the republic. He has
not yet conquered the opposing fac
tionalists and has not yet set himself
up in Mexico City.
But he has proceeded far toward
those ends. He is in absolute control
of four-fifths of the country. He holds
every important seaport on both
coasts. His army has occupied Mex
leo City and done much to relieve
the suffering there. He has driven
Zapata into the mountains of the
southern provinces and has pursued
Villa to the American border He has
set up a sort of constitutional gov
ernment in the territory which his
armies command.
Moreover the Constitutionalist
cause in Mexico seems to represent
about all that is civilized in the re-
public. 1t has attracted to its stand
ard many of the most patriotic people
there, and If there is any hope of en-
lightened self-government in any ele-
ment in the country, that hope seems
just now to centre in Carranza and his
following.
Must Prove Ability.
Whether or not Carranza will be
formally recognized by this Govern
ment and the governments of Latin
America will not be determined, how
ever, until he has satisfied his neigh
bors that he is able to dominate. the
entire country. to secure the rights Of
foreigners, to meet honestly and fairly
the claims that have piled up against
his country, and to offer his suffering
people some definite guarantees for
the future.
If within the next three weeks Car
ranza's arms triumph over Villa, If
the assurances which the neighboring
governments require are given; If
peace and order are restored, or even
approach restoration, and If Carranza
shows himself to be a statesman as
well as soldier, it seems now that he
will be recognized and will be given
friendly support in resurrecting his
country.

GERMANS MAY TRAP
RUSSIAN ARMY
Hlndenburg and Leopold Co.
operating in Big Movement.
DEFENDED STUBBORNLY
Wilma Captured; ViIelka Reached.
Russians, In Wise, Battle
Desperately To Avoid
Disaster.

London.-The Germans have occu-
pied Wilma and, by a wide sweeping
movement to the north of that city,
have succeeded in almost if not en-
tirely surrounding a portion of the
Russian army which is fighting in the
railway triangle between Wilma, Ida
and Vileika.
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way out eastward or retire in a south
easterly direction, for the only rail-
way left entirely in their hands is that
which runs from Wilma to Ida, and
thence to Baranovitchi.
Aid Can't Reach Russians.
The army of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, which took Wilma and has
reached Vileika, to the east of Wilma, is
working in close cooperation with that
of Archduke Leopold of Bavaria in an
effort to catch part Of the Russian
army, an operation which has been SO
often tried without success since the
Austro-Germans commenced their
drive in Western Galicia in early May.
The Russians express confidence in
the outcome of the battle, which must
be decided before complete success
falls to one side or the other, but with
their northern armies closely held
along the Dvina and the German flank
well protected by their cavalry, which
recently occupied Widsy, across the
Vilna-Petrograd railway, it seems i'm
possible that any aid can come to them
from that direction.
The battle seemingly must be fought
out between the troops now in the
district between Wilma, Ida and
Slonim, with the assistance of any re-
Inducements that can be spared to
hold the German force which has
reached Villeika.
lVanoff Holds RoVno.
At the southern end of the line Cen
eral Ivanoff is still keeping Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen at arms length
from the fortress of Rovno, the key to
the route to Kiev, and in counter-at-
tacks has retaken a number of viii
lagos, both in Volhynia and Galicia.
It seems apparent from the inability
of the Austro-Germans to hold their
positions in the southern area that
they have sent reinforcements from
that front to Field Marshal Won Hind
enburg's northern army, which, as
heretofore, is expected to score the
biggest success.

SILVER MONEY IN DEMAND.
Mint To Make Many Half Dollars,
Quarters and Dimes.

hington.-Demand from banks
and merchants for newly minted half
dollars, quarters and dimes has led
Director of the Mint Woolley to pur-
chase since the 1st of August 4,375 900
fine ounces of silver, almost as much
as was purchased during the entire
year of 1914.
Owing to the worldwide de pres
sion, the silver was purchased at an
average price Of a little more than 4S
cents an ounce, several cents under
the average price paid last year. On
cials explain that India and other
countries which usually take large
quantities of silver have not been so
extensively in the market this year
There are only about 173 grains of
silver in half-dollar, so that the mint
can make many millions Of these coins
from the amount now on hand. Di-
rector Woolley said that the increased
demand for subsidiary coins shows
greater prosperity among worknhen.
