THREE BOMBS ARE DROPPED
Captain of the Vessel Describes the
 Attack as Absolutely Unwsrranted as it Was Broad Daylight and the
 AeropIane Was Only 1000 Feet Up.

The Hague, May 1.-(Via London May 2.-3:20 a. m)-The German aerollane attack on the American tank steamer Cushing in the North sea- last Wednesday was described as absolutely unwarranted by Captain Herland of the Gushing tonight. Cap tain Herland detailed the attack in substance as follows:
 The steamer was making about II knots an hour when the aeropane was obs erved circlng around the ship. It was 2 o'clock in the evening and was broad daylight. The crew could see plainly the German colors and the Maltese cross, as the aero plane was less than a thousand feeS high.
 Suddenly d waters bout rose about a foot from the port quarter, throw ing tons of water on the decks. Every one thought the vessel had struck a mine. Then a second waterspout rose at a similar distance and in the same position. The crew was or. utI bu ib oiltlttl anu lluliI'uidltly q third bomb hit the rail near the amokestaCk. This missile exploded and spinters were scattered for a distance of 90 feet on the afterdeck, one even striking the forward venti- lator and several passing through and tearing the American ensign. The captain ordered the crew to their boat stations as 1t appeared evident that the aviators were aiming at the smokes tack, and in event of an eX- poaion with 5000 tons of inflam- mable oil aboard the vessel probably would be destroyed almost instantly"
 The weather was clear and in the opinion of the skipper the ayiators could not fail to see the flag and name of the vessel, which was paint ed in six-Goot letters on both sides of the huh.
 Upon reaching Rotterdam the cap tain of the Cushing made a report to the American consul, General Listoe, The Cushing. which was formerly the German tanker PrOmetheus, will leave Rotterdam for New York Sun day morning with the Stars and Stripes painted brilliantly all over her hatches.

Report That Chile, Brazil and Argen- tine Were Plotting Against United
 States Unfounded.

Washington, May 1-Published re- ports that thea visits of Dr. Lauro Muller, the Brazilian foreign minister to Argentina and Chila, had for it's object the formation of an alliance by those countries to counteract the influence of the United States in the western hemisphere were declared by Secretary Bryan today to be un- founded so far as information reach ing the United States government was concerned He said the state de- partment had heard nothing except the firmest of friendly relations with the United States"
 The exchange of visits of high offi- cials of Argentina, Brazil and Chile has attracted much attention here, but officials look upon any movement tending to unite the largest of the South American countries as helpful towards bringing all the American nations into closer relation.

Dunkirk Bombardment.

Paris, May t.-10:40 D. m.-Tha fol- lowing official note was issued con corning the smelling of Dunkirk by the Germans:
 The bombardment of Dunkirk by heavy artillery is a new proof that the Germans have not been able to pierce our lines; nor have they ob- tained by it any appreciable result. They are striving to impress neutral opinion by these manifestations, without military efficiency.
 ''From the viewpoint of the devel- opment of the operations this bom- bardment is without importance; it's effect is entirely localized to the de struction of a few houses, and the killing of peaceable inhabitants of Dunkirk New victims of German barbarty are the only results ob- tained by the enemy The position of the armies confronting each other in Belgium is without any modification" ,"

Old Weather Signs.

Here are a few weather signs
which are older probably than
any one living today. Expert
ence has shown them to be fair
ly reliable and some of them can
be explained on a scientific ba-
sis:
Moonlight nights have the
heaviest frost.
The higher the clouds the fin
er the weather.
The farther the sight the
nearer the rain.
Dew is an indication of fine
weather.
When stars flicker in a dark
background, rain or snow fol-
lows soon.
Expect a strong wind with
stormy weather when smoke
from chimneys hang near the
ground.
