cable dispatch which appeared in this paper yeSter- day contained one phrase that may suggest something aW full This message came from Berlin and stated that Zeppelin had attacked the fortress of London' The words in quotation marks are the significant Since the war began we have heard the disputes in relation to attacking unfortifed towns, and Germany to make at tacks on London appear juSthabe, has and over again stated that the Notifications established recently near London and in it and around it place in the for fled city class.
 Within the past few days the messages from outside have told us that Germany is preparing with giant airshps to attack that city and Paris and the many at tackS on English territory in the past week indicate an intention to carry great campaign from the air. And now comes from Berlin the phrase fortress of Lon don Is meant to prepare the mind of the world to re- gard London as fortress that when the time comes an attack on the great city will be regarded ghtful war fare?
 The human imagination can hardly conceive what might be the result of such an attack If those Zep penS can as stated carry fifty tons of explosives each and could drop them in the heart of London what ap paing catastrophe might come There times in thar city when the crowds in the streets dense that one is almost carried away by them like flood. Try to n agne the effect of tons of high explosives bursting amongst them And then try to imagine London at the same time set afre in of places. No matter how ones sympatheS might lie with respect to the war there is no one who could contemplate such prospect without a feeling of horror It can hardly be possible that hell is about to be let loose on earth.
