Paris, JAN 3l.-An official report Of
the casualties in the first raid placed
the number of killed at twenty-three
and of injured at twenty-seven.
The raid was not entirely unexpect-
ed as a Zeppelin was seen in the
Epernay district, previously, undoubt-
eddy making a trial excursion.
The effect of the raid has been only
to reproduce the effect Of the former
raid. There is no sign of panic. hut
angry indignation is shown and de-
mands are made that each raid shall
be answered by an aeroplane raid on
a German town.
OF the aeroplanes which arose at
lie Bourget within twenty minutes Of
the alarm, not one got near enough to
the Zeppelin to fire at 1t.
The fact that only one Zeppelin par
ticipated in the raids, leads to the
conclusion that this was only fore
runner Of other Zeppelins.
A statement issued by the Russian
war office says the Russians captured
near Erzerum, a party Of Askaris and
three machine guns. This indicates
that while the Russians have not yet
captured the important Armenian city.
as was unofficially reported several
days ago, the main force of Grand
Duke Nicholas is closely threatening
the stronghold, where the Turkish
Caucasus army was recently driven.
The Russian pursuit Of the Turks
south of Like Urumiah. in Persia, con-
tinues, while westward Of Uamadan,
probably in the Kangavar region,
Turkish attacks we're repulsed. Minor
successes are announced in south
western Russia.
The German advance in the sector
west of Peronne, announced by Ber-
lin as including the village of Frise
and 1,O93 yards of French trenches,
has been extended. according to the
Official German statement. until 1t
covers a front of $500 meters, to a
depth of 1000 meters. The offensive
began about Newport and extended
south about Neuville-St. Vast and,
finally to the district Of Paronne.
British troops were among the
prisoners reported by the Germans.
The number of prisoners claimed by
the German statement is seventeen
officers and 1870 men. The French
are still fighting hard to regain the
positions lost in the Melville sector.
The new offensive gives the Ger
mans, as perhaps the most important
result so far, possession of Hill 40,
between Souchez and Vimy, and Hill
20, outheast of Loos.
The present attack by the Germans
on these positions is regarded as an
anticipatory measure against pos
sible offensive by the allies in this
sector I'm the spring.

TO FORCE FIGHT
ON STATEWIDE
Advocates Of Statewide in Gen.
eraI Assembly Have MOI. Aban.
doned Hope Of Victory.
DEFEAT IN THE SENATE.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 2S. Prospects
fight in the House doomed up in state
ment issued by w. M. Webb, of Paints
vile, author of the amendment which
carried that body at the 1914 session.
Webb, who is a Repu blican, says that
the leading minority men will support
the bill and that sufficient Democratic
votes will be secured to pass the House.
There is no chance of the anne nd
ment being reported favorablv. 1t is
in the hands Of the Constitutional
Amendments Committee, dripping
wet body. II the drys expect to bring
the bill on the floor for fight, they
will have to stage a test battle to get 1t
there.
Webb's statement follows:
The advocates of Statewide .prohi-
bition in the General Assembly are not
defeated, nor have they abandon ell
hope of winning victory at this session.
Statements published in liquor. con
trolled papers, purporting to have b. en-
made by dry leaders. have been garbled
ana distorted
Gallant Fight.
"Our leaders in the Senate made a
gallant fight, and had it not been Tor
the third house, compose of the So
called leaders of the two political par
ties, and the gigantic whisky lobby
always found about the Capital during
sessions of the Legislature, the bill
would have passed by safe majority.
Let it not be forgotten that ma
jority of the State Senators represent
dry constituencies, and that those Sen
ators who voted against the will Of their
constituents will have hard time in
explaining.
THE drys in the House have not Civ
en- up hope. We propose to show the
people of this Commonwealth where we
stand on this question We will vim
dictate ourselves by showing that we
are not in the hands of an oligarchy at
Frankfort; but that we represent u
large majority OF the people of this
Commonwealth who are demanding at
our hands that we give them a vote ON
this question.
THE fight has just begun. We will
pass it in the House without doubt
Then it will go again to the Senate,
where some of the beloved Senators
can again explain their votes
Should we again fail in the Senate
the campaign slogan in l9l7 should be-:
Kentucky is going dry. In this cam
paign we will be brought face to face
with the real ISSUE. and the result will
be an overwhelming majority for the
great cause."-By Harry Bloom in

Rumors Already Afoot That
Big Frenchman Will Go to
Minneapolis Club.
GOSSIP OF NATIONALS

New York, June 26.-It looks as II
Henri Rondeau was about through as a
big Lacquer, and already rumors are
afioat that the Frenchman Will soon pack
his grip and hit the trail for Minneapolis
Rondeau cannot seem to get started
or pull himself out of the hitting slump
into which he has fallen. Rondeau is
tempermental and easily discouraged
Not only has he fallen off with the stick,
but his fielding is ragged.
Bauman in the fourth inning today got
credit for a two-bagger on a ball which
Rondeau should easily have captured, but
he did not start quickly enough and
then loafed after the ball had gotten
past him. This ragged work caused
Griff to substitute Barber. who has not
had a bat in his hand since the club
left the Capital.
Griffith will not disclose his plans, but
1t is believed that he has made up his
mind to send Rondeau back to Mime
apolis and try his luck with Barber
until Morgan is able to get back in the
game and Shanks can be spared from the
inield.
Frank Baker hit two balls into the
right-field pavilion this afternoon and
had the former ground rule been in effect
he would have had a couple OF home runs
10 his credit. The first ball he batted off
GaIlia in the third inning hit the iron
sirder on the part painted black. Griffith,
before the game, refused to stand for any
ball hitting the iron post going as
homer, as the black portion Of the strder
is on foul territory, and Baker was not
permitted to jog around the base paths.
The Griffmen wind up the long road
trip here tomorrow. and Du Mont will be
sent against the Yankees Du Mont is the
only one OF our pitchers who has not
been used, and II he falls down Gallia
and Rice will be sent to his rescue. Caid-
well may pitch for the New Workers, or
possibly Shawkey. The Nationals leave
on the midnight express tomorrow for the
Capital, where a series with the Boston
Red SoN will be started
Manager Griffith received word today
from the club physician in Washington
that an S-ray photograph had been
taken of Morgan's sprained ankle, and no
broken bones were apparent This is
good news, and means that Morgan will
probably be able TO play in about a week.
