sERGT, ROCKWELL NOTED
FOR HIS SKILL AND DARING
American Aviator Killed in France
Had Just Been Promoted
to Lieutenant.

PARIS, September 25.-The aerial
fight in which Sergt Kitten Rockwell
of Atlanta, Ga, was mortally wounded
Saturday morning by a German air
man took place over the town of
Thanh The body of the American avi-
ator fell in reconquered territory in
Alsace near the spot where Rockwell
shot down his first adversary fVe
months ago.
Rockwell was serving as a volunteer
in the Franco-American flying corps on
the Verdun front A few hours previous
to the engagement he had been pro-
NOTED to the rank of second lieutenant,
but died without knowing of the new
honor. He already had received the
military medal for shooting down a
German two-seater near Hartmans-
weller -kopf in May. He had beaten
down another before Verdun and had
participated in a thrilling combat in
which nearly all the Franco-American
fotilla- was engaged with a strong
German force He was wounded dur
ing that fight by fragment of she'll
while engaged alone with three ad-
versaries.

American volunteers to join the for

POSTAL SAVINGS GROW APACE.
Increase in Deposits Of 81 100000 a
Week During August.

More than a million dollars week
gain in postal savings deposits was
shown during the month of August,
compared with the previous month.
A statement issued by the Post Office
Department says that this reflects the
nationwide prosperity of the working
classes, who are the principal patrons
of the system. The gain for August
was $4,000, 900.
OF the ninety cities in which the de-
posits amounted to more than 100000
each Washington was number 80 on
the list with deposits amounting to
s362,355
One reason for the remarkable gain is
the removal of hindering restrictions on
the amount that may be accepted from
a depositor, brought about by a recent
act of Congress, the bulletin says. As
the liberalizing legislation becomes
more generally known it brings to light
the hidden savings of those who will
not intrust their money to private In
stitutions, but have implicit confidence
in the government.

empire has adopted by vote of 251 to
a resolution declaring the country

prepared to conclude a peace guaran-

from Berlin received at Amsterdam and

The resolution is said to have strong

he showed his passport, which was

the so-called David Peace resolution.

Out to See the Spectacle.

All London within sound of the guns
and bombs was out to see the spectacle,
and almost despaired of further ex-
element. when. well to the eastward,
q tiny glow appeared low in the sky.

To the watchers in Essex. however,
the spectacle of the flaming falling
Zeppelins had all the thrills of ex-
citement which marked the end of the
L-2l. and they cheered the gunners
and their fortunate shots that brought
the raiders to earth.
London expected the attack, the Ger
mans evidently having selected Satur-
day for their greatest efforts But a
bright moon deferred any attempt

raiders came over the sea The change

Thousands of persons journeyed to

from making away with everything de-

also viewing the damaged outskirts of
the city.
From the number of bombs dropped, both
explosive and incendiary, the authorities
wonder why the casualties were not
greater. The Zeppelins seemed abundant
y supplied with ammunition 1t is denied
officially that any places of military i'm
portance were damaged.
Householders along the thoroughfares
heard the bomb explosions growing louder
and louder as the raiders came with the
speed of an express train, took their bap-
tfsm of fire calmly as they passed, and
heaved a sigh of relief as the reports di-
minished in the distance.
Arrested by Constable.
The commander and twenty members of
the crew of the Zeppelin which was
forced to land near an Essex coast town
were arrested by the village constable as
they were marching along the road into

the latest eyewitness account.
II am the commander of German air

Jubilation In London.

Londoners were jubilant today. but
there was not the same exultant en-
thusiasm as three weeks ago, indicating
that the destruction of giant skyraid-
ers is already taken as an ordinary in
cident in this unusual world war.
The fact that the airships were

shows the care with which the de-
fenses have been developed. The eff
cheney in dealing with the raiders was
further evidenced by the speed with
which the searchlights picked up the
drst raider that appeared above the
suburbs about midnight. Suddenly a
Searchlight beam shot into the starlit
sky. Three more dazzling shafts fol-
lowed, and within fifteen seconds the
whirring airships were caught in the
tolls, and the guns began sending up
shrieking shrapnel shells.
For minute or two the raider kept
its course. then wavered, turned partly
away and suddenly dissolved, appar-
emily into thin air. Evidently the Yep
pelin was beclouded in the smoke, and
the lights lost her completely.
In the meantime. however, bombs
we're dropping and red flares were Wis
ible as they hit the earth. Then the
city was quiet for an hour, the search
lights flashing only occasionally in the
hunt for raiders.

Attacked by Many Aeroplanes.

Many who saw the shrapnel bursting
Ike skyrockets about the invader, which
subsequently, caught fire. think there
must have been several direct hits Many
aeropi2nes were aloft and attacked the
Zeppelins from all sides
the North sea by German submarines
about the time the Zeppelins raided En-
gland This leads to the belief that U
boats accompanied the airships to afford
them a certain amount of protection from
attack while crossing the water.
The raiders took heavy toll of lives
before their. destruction, twenty-eight
persons being killed and ninety-nine
wounded in. the metropolitan district of
London. Two persons were killed, proba-
bly, four. and seventeen were wounded in
the provinces.
The property damage, while widely
distributed. is confined for the most
part to small suburban dwellings and
shops. although one railway station
was damaged, some empty cars being
destroyed and part of the tracks torn
up.
The roar of dropping bombs was
heard in many districts where the raid
ers were invisible. 1t is not believed
that more than two or three invading

London, and that two of these paid the

consuming flames of their own ship
but they were not so terribly charred
as their predecessors
This latest raider to light her own
funeral way on English soil collapsed
and was consumed much more quickly
than the LII. 1t is possible. though.
that some of the men were still living
when the great vessel struck the

some distance from the wreck
