HERMAN ZEPPELINs RAID
CITY PAsT TWO NIGHTS
Many Are Killed by the Bombs Dropped by the German Air craft-Fierce Battles Take Place in the Air-PeOple Watch the Struggle.

PARIS, Jan. si.-Twenty-four were killed and many injured in Zeppelin raid over this city late Saturday night Again last night zeppelIn's approached but'after reaching the out skirts of the city they turned back. The raid Saturday was absolutely un- heralded. The Germans flew over the city and dropped numerous bombo. The populaee was suddenly thrown into tho greatest excitement.
 Last night, as on Saturday night nremen dashed through the streets sounding the warning that another Zeppelin raid yves on. In O few min utes the capital was entirely dark ened. Crowds remained on the boul- evards watching the skies for the ap- pearance of the Germa naircraft.
 Five aeroplanes and three large Zeppelins were shortly noticed to approach from two different direc- tions. with the main thoroughfares of the city evidentally being the goal. Suddenly the French machines dart cd out. One French machine, pilot ed by a sergeant occupied In patrollinl tho upper air. started in pursuit with savage energy He poured fire up' on fire into the German craft and they turned and started to retreat Having exhausted an of his stock of cartridges he was obliged to aban- don pursuit. Two of the other French machines which were armed with cannon had however by this time managed to climb up high enough and they opened fire on the zeppe- lins which were hit but not badly damaged. A Zeppelin was next pick ed up by a sub.lieutenant as it flew over the suburbs to the westward. He went to within fifty to one hun dred yards of the Zeppelin and stuck to his quarry with grim determine tion. sometimes flying below and sometimes on level, in order to es- cane the fire from the zeppelin's ma chine gun. For hfty.three minutes this battle continued. machine guns being freely used on both sides. Fin ally the aeroplane engines broke down and the sub.lieutenant was obliged to descend The German air crafts immediately disappeared

BREAK IN MAIN
 CAUSES PRESENT
 WATER SHORTAGE

Mayor John Reck stated today that the cause of the water shortage ia Juneau is break in the Seventh street main in the rear of the resi- aence of B. l.. Thane A large crew of men are at work repairing this but on account of the frozen ground 1t may not be repaired until some time tonight
 In the meantime residents of the Casey Shattuck addition and those on the west side of the city will be without water
 Those taking water from she Gold street main now have a plentiful sup ply aud es soon as the preak is re- paired tho remainder of the resi- dence section will be served. The down town section was shut 1n last night and the reservoir filled within a Jew hours proving that 1t is not short age of water but waste which Is bothering the company.
 Mayor Reck stated that contrary to popular opinion the filling of the A. B. tank had nothing to do with the water shortage. The A. B.s use very little water and even if a two inch main were running there all the time. which is not the case, 1t would not reduce the pressure materially The water for the tank is taken once week and then at times during the night when the reservoir is full and overiiowing. "We dislike the situa- tlon as badly as do the citizens and are doing all in our power to remedy it." said Mir. Beck.
