Leith, Firth of Forth Docks, New

Edinburg and Leith, dock establish
ments on the Firth of Forth and an
important ship building works on the
Tyne were attacked Sunday nisAt in
a Zeppelin raid over England and
Scotland, the admiralty in Berlin an.
nounced.
There 9were numerous fires and VIC
lent explosions. A battery near New.
castle was silenced. All the Zeppe-
Inns returned safely.
Zeppelins again appeared over Great
Britain Sunday night, killing ten and
injuring seven persons in Scotland,
There were no casualties in England
whose eastern counties were visited.
1t was the third raid on successive
nights, beginning Friday.
The casualties were officially listed
as follows: Killed seven men, no wo-
men, three children; injured, five men,
two women and four children. The
British official statement says:
at appears that altogether six Yep
pelins took part in the raids of Sun
day night. Three raided southeast
counties of Scotland, one the north
east coast of England and the remain
ing two eastern counties of England.
1.-The vessels which raided Scotland
cruised over southeastern counties.
Their course gave ne indication of any
special locality for attack, but thirty
six explosive and seventeen incendiary
bombs were dropped on various places,
damaging some hotels and dwelling
houses.
"One vessel visited the northeast
coast and dropped twenty-five explo,
sive and fifteen incendiary bombs. The
two remaining ships crossed the Eng.
lish coast I'VE eastern counties. They
were both engaged at various times
by anti-aircraft artillery and appear
to have been prevented by this means
from selecting any definite locality as
their objective.
"Thirty-three explosive and sixty
five incendiary bombs were dropped
by these two vessels. AS far as has
been ascertained no casualties were
caused in England"
Confirmation of recent reports that
the latest Zeppelin raids have been
for the purpose of locating the British
grand fleet is see in the fact thai the
coast of Scotland vas ATTACKED. The
Zeppelins are now being equipped with
a new kind of searchlight of high pow
er and also Illuminating bombs which
are used in searching the land and
water beneath the ships.
A careful search was made of the
coast and particularly the harbors
where the Germans evidently expect.

SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION.

WI - 49,
In 1897 two leading professors OF
Germany sent To the men of that coun-
try n pronouneement favorlng total alb
s~tinenoe. II contained this DECLARE
ton:
Science has shown that alcohol,
disturbance In brain action, paralyzes
the critical capacity, power of will, the
ethical and esthetio sense. and lowers
self-oontrol. For this reason we
should realize that II Is n poison and
no longer to be classed with foods
The document received nine sigma
lures. Ten years later II was sent out
again and received 500 signatures of
German medical men, 116 of whom
were professors.
In 1918 a great antialcoholic meeting
was held in the Prussian house of dep.
uties, Berlin. The honorary president
was the German chancellor, DIR. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, and on the commit
tee of honor all the Prussian ministers
were represented and hundreds Of EN-
inent men of the empire. Doctor Jen-
sen, inspector general of the Berlin
schools, called forth much applause
when he said that "the education of
youth is absolutely impossible with
out an antialcohol element in it."
Since then such instruction has been
made a part of the regular course in
the public schools of Germany, and
entire courses in that subject are Of
fered by the great universities.
