HOLIDAY LURES
THOUSANDS AWAY
Trains and Boats Are
damned by Labor Day
EXcurSiOnists.

With a fine disregard for the infan-
tile paralysis epidemic. thousands or
Jerseyites came 20 New York City 10
spend Labor Day yesterday. With a
like indifference 70 the quarantine
against the Hague in New Jersey. even
larger throngs crossed the Hudson and
spent the day in the country. And
with the coming of nlghtiall eNcur-
sionists returning homeward, combined
with those whose summer vacations
were at an end, poured back into the
city by the hundred thousand.
Seldom mas Labor Day put a greater
strain on the traffic facilities Of the
city. Early yesterday morning all the
city lines Of transportation were
crowded with holiday makers. as were
boats on the Hudson and the Sound.
suburban trains ferryboats and tubes.
Week-enders and those who have
been spending the summer away from
the city, combined with eXcursIonists
20 tax the railways and ferries 10
their utmost at eventide. At the Penn
sylvania Station IL was said 10000 per-
sons-one of the largest crowds the
road ever handled back 20 the
city through its doors. To accommo-
date the unusually heavy traffic the
road ran IS trains from Atlantic City
in three sections, and from Phiiadel-
phia and other cities in at least two.
The quarantine placed upon the city
did not affect those children who re-
turned home yesterday. They were
subjected 20 no examination, and no
health certificates were required.
Aside from matinees and athletic
games in various parks Of the city,
there were TO inducements offered by
the city to keep its inhabitants within
its bonds. There was no parade, for
the first time in years, and no civic
celebration OF a general character.

London Says That Bombs
Missed Doing Material
Damage.

London, Sept. 4.-Evidenee that two
Zeppelins were lost in the raid on Eng
land last Saturday night reached Lon
don to-day. Reports from Denmark
indicate that dirigible fell into the
North Sea after il had been crippled
by British snti-aircraft guns.

factories and important places were
hit with good effects" and tells Of
many fires and explosions which fol-
lowed the dropping Of DO abs. But am
pie proof is al hand the British state
ments covered the damage accurately.
A remarkable feature Of the raid
was the failure of the Zeppelins TO md
any mark for their bombs except II
areas where it was impossible TO DO
material damage.
Berlin to-day admitted the loss OF
one Zeppelin. The British Press bu-
reau issued this statement to-day
The damage dcne. that is to say

Moreover, there is me strongest

very seriously damaged"
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen says that fishermen
returning 10 Esbjerg, Denmark, report
that they observed a badly damaged
Zeppelin yesterday morning. The crew
was throwing articles overheard and
the fishermen believe the Zeppelin ieii

Sept 4.-There IS general citation at
the Army Headquarters over the re-
suits OF the British and French at
tacks in the Somme region yesterday.
A chill, heavy rain is falling this
morning, drenching the German pris-
oners in the collecting stations and
the wounded who are still being
brought of from the field. In most
parts Of the line the night was one Of
continuous fighting.
The Germans had massed great
forces against the British and respond
ed with prompt counter attacks under
the cover Of an immense volume Of
artillery FIRE. British guns laid their
sheets Of crashing blasts on the Ger
man trenches up 70 the verS moment
that the British infantry r&ched the
German trenches, and no sooner were
the infantry in the German trenches
than the Germans turned the same
kind % a hurricane on them.

accurate, and the infantry more cum
