DEFENSES OF ZEPPELIN
WORKS STRENGTHENED

Zurich, Aug. "A correspondent of
the "Neue Zuericher Zeitung," who re-
turned from Germany a few days ago
reports that the defense of the Yep
pelin work in Friedrich5hafen have
lately been enormously strengthened
because an attack by an air fleet of
the Allies is feared.
The airship factory is surrounded by
Gordon of troops and hundreds of
anti-aircraft guns have been placed at
vantage points within a radius of eight
or ten miles from the town. A dozen
or more captive balloons float over the
factory and over the Lake of Con-
stance on the lookout for enemy aero
planes and airships, and on six high
steel towers sentries are on guard day
and hight.
The activity in the works is greater
than ever before since the beginning
of the war. During the last month
! five new monster "Zeppelins" which
are said to be able to fly across the At
lantic Ocean, have left the yard and
made extended trial trips. Six other
gigantic air cruisers are under con-
struction and will be finished before
the end of August. 1t is expected that
this terrible fleet of dreadnaughts OF
the air will be used for attacks on
England.

CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL
IN RUSSIA GROWS AGAIN

Petrograd, Aug. 3.-The "Bourse
Gazette" complains that the consump-
ton of alcohol is again increasing
alarmingly throughout Russia, in spite
of the restrictive measures taken by
the government. To prove its asser-
ton the paper publishes statistics OBJ
tanned from the ministry of the in
terror which show that during the first
five months of the present year, 1862
TOO gallons of alcohol were sold,
against 1,3S6,2S1 gallons in the CORE
spending period of the last year.
The number of illicit distilleries, ac
cording to information given by the
Minister of finance, is seven times
larger than a year ago. From Janu-
airy to May 81 over 1000 persons were
arrested for secretly manufacturing
and selling alcohol.

BACK TO NATURE" TO
STAVE OFF BLINDNESS

Valparaiso, Ind, Aug. 1.-The mys-
terious "mOdern Eve" of the lakeshOre
has been foiIed in her efforts to lead
a back-to-nature life in the waste land
near here and now she is threatening
to flee from the eyes of curious per-
sons.
When the first wild report of a
strange nude woman dispOrting her
self On the beach from any town was
brought here the informer was jecr-
ed. Then another report came, and
soon curious ones were paying enter
prising "iitney" drivers to take them
to the spot where she had been seen.
A reporter succeeded in interview
ing the young woman. He found her
not nude, but clad in rough, simple
garments. He found her both beauti-
full and intelligent. He endeavOrcd to
learn her secret and finally got the
information that she was a graduate
of the University of Chicago, that a
doctor had made a blunder in examin-
ing her eyes which caused extreme
nervousness and threatened blindness.
She said she took the "back-to-nature"
route to get well, and chose a little
hut on Lake Michigan for her sanitari-
um She refused to divulge her name.

DEBATING MEMORIALS FOR
JAMES WHITCOMR RILEY

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 3.-Three
propositions for a memorial to the late
James Whitcomb Riley, the "Hoosier
poet" and children's friend, are being
debated They are to make October
:, Riley's birthday, state holiday; to
name the haIf-milliOn dollar library
now under construction, Riley library;
or to erect monument in a down
town park.
1t is likely that the legislature will
be asked to designate October 7 as a
holiday. For years it has been known
as Riley day" and lS,S been observed
by thousands of school children. When
the poet first appeared at such a cele-
bration in 1908 he told thousands of
they were little conspiratOrs"
in a plot to discover his age. They
did not succeed. though, for after his
death relatives confdcd that he was
81 years old instead of 81. as was gen
erally thought.
The new library wa smade possible
5y a gift Of ground from Riley valued
at $4,000 to 100000. Massive
bronze doors are now being placed in
the library bought with a penny col

waged. Five hundred Adams County dele
gates came in today especially for this
feature of the convention. The marchcrs
will be headed by Homer Rodeheaver,
trombonist of Billy Sunday fame, and will
be gay with banners and insIgnas. The
Philadelphians will carry flags and wear
badges bearing roplicas of the Liberty Bell,
with the Christian Endeavor monogram,
supported by a silver bar on which appears
the word Philadelphia.
In the afternoon the juniors marched to
the convention hall and presented their
work to the old endeavorers In the form of
n we'll staged pageant.
During the days sessions addresses were
delivered by William l.. Ellis. Swarthmore,

The cry of sharks" was taken up in

women, anxious but powerless to help.
Finally Fisher, strong swimmer; Arthur

and struck out for the spot where Stilwell

screamed for help.
But the tiger of the sea" had no easy
victim in Fisher, for he set out for the

told surgeons he felt the teeth of the fish
sinking into his flesh and grinding against
the bones. He swan on for the shore, his
head scarcely above the water and his
strokes becoming more feeble every mo-
ment. Just as he was about to give up the
struggle, when he was not more than
dozen feet from the landing place, the shark
released its hold, taking a great piece of
Fishers leg away with him. dozen men
dragged the would-be rescuer to land and
hastily making a tourniquet above the

where he was placed aboard an express
train for Long Branch. He died an hour

NO STATE PLAN TO SAVE
BATHERS, FIELDER SAYS
Jersey Governor Hopes Some Expert
Will End Shark Terrorism

SEA GIRT N. j., July 13. - Governor
James Fielder said this morning that he
had been asked by a number of persons
whether the State could not take some ac-
tion to stop the attacks which sharks are
making on bathers at various points along
the New Jersey coast. The matter was
first mentioned to him some days ago, and
he has consulted with members of the Fish
and Game Commission to see If they could
offer any suggestion in the matter.
1T is very evident" said the Governor,
from the widely scattered points at which
attacks are being made that the entire
coast line is being frequented by schools
of sharks No explanation has yet been
offered for. this and 1 do not see how the
State can do anything to protect bathers.
Our coast line is over 150 miles long and
the expense of hunting down the man
eaters would be so prohibtive that fail
TO see even how the Legislature could do
anything if it was called in special ses-
sion. 1t would require an enormous ap-
preparation of money. Apparently the
only solution is for the various muncpali-
ties to continue the methods of patrolling
and placing nets around the bathing grounds
until some one comes along who is familiar
with the habits of sharks and can suggest
some way to drive them off. But at pres
ent 1 see no possible action that the State
can take that will lessen the peril, and the
bathers will have to be careful"
