One Reason for Zeppelin Raids.

Perhaps only a German mind shut off bv the
censor from the facts necessary to form a fair
judgment, understand wherein Germany
gains more than she loses through the Zeppelin
raids on London. 1t is doubtful if the Germans
in this country who able to approach the
subject with open mind believe that the Zep-
pelin raids profitable to Germany The ma
jority of neutrals have come to the conclusion
that every Zeppelin raid represents a big loss
to Germany. And neutrals also believe that
what Berlin considers the most "successful" raid
is in reality the most damaging
The raid Saturday night probably marks the
Inauguration of new and more formidable Sc,
ries of these air attacks. The Germans, it is
stated, have built larger Zeppelins in Big num-
bers and are planning to make aerial attacks on
London whenever weather and other conditions
are favorable. 1t is reported that thirteen air
ships participated in the raid Saturday night
and that many of bombs were dropped
There was a small property damage, two per
sons killed and thirteen injured The Germans
lost one Zeppelin and her crew.
The English and women who were
killed noncombatants and from the mill
tary viewpoint of little value to the nation. The
Germans who died in the Zeppelin's plunge were
in the military and were highly trained men OF
much value to Germany from the military view
point The financial loss in the destruction OF
one Zeppelin was probably far greater than the
property damage inflicted by bombs.
Germany cannot reckon profits in the terror
created in London for all reports, except those
from Berlin, inform us that the raids create
more curiosity than terror. Germany cannot
justify the raids on the ground that London's
military defenses are destroyed, for it has been
shown that the ctys military works have been
unscathed in almost every raid. In view Of
these facts it is hard to believe that the men in
control of the direction of the raids sincerely
believe they are profitable.
There seems to be one explanation of why
the raids are continued that is plausible 1t is
well known that there is deep hatred of the
English among the German people. This hatred
has been cited as one of the chief causes of the
war. A victory over the English is hailed with

more delight among the German people than a
victory over any other of Germany's numerous
foes. One Of the insistent demands that the
German people have made ever since the out
break of the war is that the English be pun
ished.
There have been numerous proofs that the
men directing the war have taken pains to COM
ply with this demand. Berln's reports of the
success of the Zeppelin raids have been re-
ceived with unlimited credulity by the German
people. In many instances these accounts have
been so exaggerated as to verge on the ridicu-
lous, yet they believed in Germany In re-
porting the results of an air raid on August 8
it was stated that $1,000 persons had been
killed. This statement apparently has not been
questioned by the German people.
Therefore, the real reason behind the Zeppelin
raids may be that though they are failures from
financial and military viewpoint they satisfy
the popular demand that England be punished.
1t will be interesting to see how the German
people, after the war is ended, will receive the
truth and how they will view the action of the
government in resortng to plain deception in re-
porting the horrible punishment inflicted on the
English.

AFTER-DINNER POLITICS
Two Connecticut Cabinet Officers.
By DR.. e. J. EDWARDS.

In civil war days, It was sometimes
spoken OF as a rather strange coincidence
that q citizen OF Hartford, Conn, Isaac
Toucey, should have served in the Cabi-
net OF President buchanan and another
citizen OF Hartford, Gideon Welles,
should have heen chosen by President
Lincoln as the Secretary OF the Navy.
Gov. Toucey-as he was always called
after his election as governor Of Con-
necticut by the Legislature. there having
I been no choice by the people-possessed
when he went to Washington as Cabinet
officer under President Buchanan a ma
! tion-Wide reputation as a statesman. He
had been a member Of Congress when
a very young man, Attorney General Of
the United States in the last months Of
the administration OF President Polk,
United States Senator. governor OF Con-
nectcut, and, at last, Secretary Of War.
These were regarded as qualifications
WHICH especially justified President Bu-
chanan in calling Gov. Toucey TO his
Z Cabinet There were. however other
qualifications OF a more personal char
aCter. He was a man OF charming per
sOnal address. cultivation was revealed
/ in the expression Of his tastes and he
possessed a rather rare quality some
| times called that Of being d Democratic
aristoCrat.
! The reasons which led President Lin
coin TO make choice OF Gideon Welles,
| OF Hartford, as Cabinet officer. repre-
senting New England, were different in
every way from those which justified
/ President Buchanan in calling Governor
Toucey to his Cabinet. Mr.. Welles was
a man OF great personal force, studious,
something Of a philosopher and an ef-
! fective newspaper writer. Mr.. Lincoln
met Mr.. Weles at the time the former
in the late winter and early spring Of
1860. was making a brief trip TO the
East. There was something about Mr..
/ Welles and his personality which sp-
parently appealed to Lincoln, and yet
he could not have known that this quiet
studious man, whose face and mien were
those Of the scholar. possessed extra
/ ordinary ability.
That ability was demonstrated when
Secretary Welles undertook so to re.
construct and perfect the American navy
that it would be possible to maintain ar
| effective blockade against the Southern
ports. At the time Of this blockade, il

ended, there began to be realization OF
