DOZEN RAIDS
BY zEPPELINS
ARE REFUSED
British Aircraft Ward Off
and Destroy Many Ger
man Aeroplanes
~ Assoc,IATED PRESs-

New York, Jan. 12.-Twelve at
tempted raids on London by Zeppe-
Inns during December were repulsed
by the British, chiefly through large
fleets of aeroplanes ard three of the
German aircraft were destroyed or
captured, according to DIR. w. II. Vim
cent, of the Colonial medical corps,
who arrived today on the American
liner Philadelphia
"The real reason why Zeppelins
have not been able to lombard London
or its suburbs since October 14th,
last" said DIR. Vincent, "is because
the British have established an elab-
crate and efficient defense against the
German air raiders. During the month
of December there were twelve separ-
ate attempts by Zeppelins to reach
London. From two to four Zeppelins
participated in each attempt. Dur
ing the month of November there were
several other attempts. But in no
case were the German dirigibles able
to reach even the outskirts of Lon
don.

LATE MEXICAN
OUTRAGEST|RS
WASHINGTON
Murder of Americans Cause
Outburst of Attacks
On President
JOINT INTERVENTION
ONE OF PROPOSALS
Presidents Handling of the.
Mexican Situation Is
Severely Criticized
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

washington, Jan. 12.-There was
no indication tonight that the United
States would take any action in the
case of Americans killed by Villa BAN
dts in Mexico beyond a demand for
the apprehension and punishment, or
at most, to hold Carranza responsible,
if it is shown his officials were negi-
gent in protecting the party.
Although the latest outrage stirred
the simmering Mexican situation
again to boiling point and drew an
outburst of attacks upon the admin
istration, probably unequalled since
the Huerta crisis of two years ago,
there was no outward sign that Will
son was being influenced to alter his
policy. The proposal by Senator
Stone, Republican, for joint interview
ton by the United States and Pan
American nations was referred with
out action TO the foreign relations
committee of the senate.
While Secretary Lansing announced
that "every step will be taken to see
that a reparation of this dastardly
crime are apprehended and punished, .
he added that it was to be deplored
that the Americans had not needed
the state departments warning
against exposing their lives in the
gnerziIla waRfare tepritoryt Lansing,
with Wilson's approval sent demand
to Carranza for the apprehension and
punishment of the bandits.
The most significant development
of the congressional debate was when
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, himself a
Democrat, declared that if Carranza
proved unfit to restore order "there
was only one thing to do and that is
to go down there armed and inter
vene." For the present Stone coun-
selled leaving the situation to Will
SON.
A number of Democrats defended
Wilson's policy, pointing out that the
Republicans vigorously opposed inter
vention during the Taft administra-
ton.

5THEXPLOSION
NTWO DAYSAT
POWDERPLANT
Small Wheel Mill Blew Up
But No Lives Were
Lost In It
By ASSOCIATED PaBss.

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 12.-The
fifth explosion in two days at the
DUPONT Powder plants in this vicinity
occurred late last night in the Hagley
yards on the outskirts of the city. A
small wheel mill blew up and beyond
destroying the building and about a
ton of powder, no damage was done.
No one was in the mill.
The fourth explosion occurred late
yesterday afternoon at the smokeless
powder plant of Carney's Point, N. J..
across the Delaware river from VIII
mington. Thirteen tons of powder
went off without injuring any one.
Last Sunday night there was a blast
at Carney's Point which killed three
men and on Monday there was an ex-
plosion at the Hagley yards and an
other one at Carney's Point.
The dupont Company attributes the
explosions to unavoidable accidents,
though the definite cause is not known
''The large number of explosions at
this time" said representative of
the company, "is undoubtedly due to
the fact that the company's force is
100 times as great as when the
European war broke out and there is
so much more work to be done. It is
also a fact that nearly all of the
orders are hurried and it is also true
that some of the operatives have not
been at the business long enough to
acquire the experience of many of

BY Assoc1ATEr PRTss.


London, Jan. 12.--Fighting is GO
ing on all around Cettinje, the capital
of Montenegro, and for the first time
in history, it seems that Montenegro
must bow to a foreign conqueror, for
there is little hope that its armies
can oppose the overwhelming number
of Austrian soldiers and artillery.
Teutonic occupation of Montenegro
would enable Austria to command the
Adriatic sea and threaten any adj
vance from Saloniki and also to pre-
vent the effective move by the allies
through Albania
The enterSe press finds it inexpli-
cable why the allies, Italy especially,
did not send aid in time, at least, to
render Mount Lovcen impregnable,
which could have been done with a
few guns
On the Russian front Vienna says
the Russians have renewed their des-
perate attacks on the Bessarabian
frontier, but insists all were repulsed.
Petrograd is silent in regard to this
fighting but the Russians are usually
silent until their movements are well
ON their way to completion. There
has been no important developments
on the French front, but the French
and British correspondents there are
very optimistic. They declare there
is no possibility of a successful Ger
man offensive there. Reuters staff
