zEPPEL|NS DROP
BOMBS ON PARIS
Fall in Suburbs Injuring Seven
or Eight Persons.
LITTLE DAMAGE IS DONE
Auto Aircraft Guns and AeropIane
Squadron Used In Defense,
But Mist Prevents
Pursuit.

Paris Zeppelin airships raided
Paris early Sunday morning and drop
ped a dozen bombs. but the damage
done was unimportant. Seven or
eight persons were injured, but only
one seriously. Four of the aircraft
started for the capital, following the
valley of the Disc. but only two reach
ed their goal. Missions also were
dropped at Compiegne, Ribecourt and
Dreslincourt, but without serious re-
suit.
Paris remained calm while the
aerial invasion was in progress, and
residents OF the city exhibited more
curiosity than fear as to the results.
Trumpets gave the signal that all
lights must be extinguished as soon as
warning was received Of the Zeppelin's
approach. Searchlights were turned
upon the clouds, anti-aircraft guns
opened fire and aeroplanes rose to at
tack the Germans, but their operations
were hampered by heavy mist.
Two Zeppeiins Turned Back.
An official communication regarding
the raid declares it served only to
show how we'll the defensive arrange
ments would work out when put to
the test.
Summing up, the Zeppelin raid on
Paris was a complete failure, 1t only
served to demonstrate how well the
defensive arrangements work. The
population was calm. On their way
back, the Zeppelins dropped dozen
incendiary bombs on Compeigne, doing
only unimportant damage. Three
bombs were dropped on Ribecourt and
Dreslincourt, to the north Of Com
peigne, without result"

WILL INSIST ON
NEUTRAL RIGHTS
British and French Replies Not
Sufficient.
WILSON WANTS MORE FACTS
The United States Will Deny tne
Right OF the Allies To De-
clare a Blockade OF
Neutral Coasts.

Washington. - The United STATES
government considers that Great
Britain and France, in the British VI
der in Council and in the accompany
inv notes have not answered the ques-
tions propounded to them as to what
warrant there is under international
law for the establishment OF an en-
barge on all commercial intercourse
directly and indirectly, between Ger
many and neutral countries.
1t was stated officially at the state
Department that this government still
does not know whether the action OF
the Allies is intended as legal block
ade or whether the ordinary rules OF
contraband and non-contraband are TO
be the legal basis for future detentions.
On a determination of this question
probably will depend not only the
nature of any steps which may be
taken by the United States at this
time, but also the basis for the many
claims for damages arising out OF in
terruptions to American commerce I'M
der the new policy of the Allies.

SUNDAY ENDS HIS
GREAT CHAMPAIGN
Evangelist Left Over 10000
TraiIhitters in Philadelphia.
THOUSANDS SEE HIM OFF
Audiences Go wiId-sawdust, Tin
Pans, Bunting and Flags Carried
OF As Souvenirs-Gets
Draft For S51,ts6.e5,

PhiIadelphia.-The biggest single
day in the biggest revival the country
has ever known was Billy Sundays
farewell to Philadelphia.
Four times Sunday the evangelist
preached to audiences that overlooked
the tabernacle, some 10000 being the
days total. Four times he called for
converts and reaped total of 1858
for the day. This number represents
the actual number who signed con-
Verts' cards, though il represents only
a portion of those who came down and
shook his hand
The number of converts for the IL
weeks of the campaign totals 41,724.
SO far as results go, the country has
never seen anything like it. 1t not
only beats Billy Sundays record but
that OF every modern evangelist.
Audiences Stay Till Last.
-Four audiences went wild at his first
appearance and four audiences stub
bornly refused to leave the tabernacle
until the evangelist himself left the
platform. Eleven weeks had wound
him around their hearts until the
hearts bled when he was torn away.
Men and women pulled down signs
from the tabernacle posts and carried
them away. They scooped up big
handfuls OF sawdust from the shadow
Of the pulpit. filed their pockets and
their handkerchiefs with it and carried
It home. They took the tin pans which
have gathered the tabernacle offer
ings; they tore the bunting and flags
from about the rostrum, the flowers
from the pulpit. They carried away
everything loose that could serve as a
memento Of the campaign.
Gets Draft For S51,1s6.s5.
Before he left the city, however, the
committee turned over to the evengal-
list draft for ISL. 1866, the result of
the free-will Offering which Philadel-
phia gave to Billy Sunday.
There came at night to bid him fare
well representatives Of 400 churches of
the city and a representative of the
city itself to thank him.
Cyrus d. Foss, Jr, secretary to
Mayor Biankenburg, spoke for official
Philadelphia.
philadelphia is today a different
city from Philadelphia of last Deem
ber," he told the evangelist. AS a
token of his own appreciation. Mr..
Foss said he would hit the trail" with
the other converts. and he did. At
the close OF the meeting he marched
down the aisle, took Mr.. Sundays hand
and sat on the front benches with the
penitents.
