Fight Is Described.

A correspondent who saw fight be-
tween Zeppelin and British gunners
writes:
"All lights We're put out in the
streets and all places of entertainment
were closed. II was calm, clear and
peaceful night and the half dozen
powerful searchlights which were
turned to the sky presented a fine
sight
fpresentiy the booming Of guns
brought hundreds Of persons into the
streets. Just before 10 o'clock I saw
tie searchlights pick up Zeppelin.
The crowd loudly applauded the work
of the gunners and became very en-
thusiastic when one shell seemed to
burst right under the airship. The last
saw was a cloud of smoke. which
seemed TO be discharged from the Yep
pelin. Behind this cloud the raider
disappeared
The correspondent adds that motor
buses and street cars were running as
usual during the fight.
No event since the outbreak of the
war has been received in London with
greater rejoicing than the destruction
of the Zeppelin. There was great en-
thusiasm in the streets when the news
boys broke the news to the public.

REVISION Of NEUTRALITY

Recent developments IN connection

Attorney General Gregory, who

his annual report several months ago,
is understood to have submitted to
Counselor Polk of the State Depart

board. certain recommendations for
broadening the statutes.

PARTY GAIN IN UNITY
OF ROOT-ROOSEvE[T
Republicans in Capitol Believe
Former President Desires
to Pick Candidate. !,

According to information which
reaches Washington. the accuracy and
sincerity OF which is unQuestio nab BILE.
the reconciliation OF Elihu Root and
Theodore Roosevelt In New York Fri
day. at Robert Bacon's home, in the
presence Of Senator Lodge and Gen.
Leonard Wood. bids fair to be of far
reaching political Importance to the
progressive and regular wings of the
republican party.
The information lays stress upon the
point that this expected benefit is to
accrue to the party as a whole. and
that for the present. at least. the re-
union cannot be construed as having
any bearing upon the personality OF
presidential candidates.
Brings General Congratulations.
Every republican of Importance at
the Capitol yesterday was appraised oe
the exact nature of Fridays meeting
and its profound significance to the
party at large. without respect to per.
sons. That Elihu Root and Theodore
Roosevelt are again in a position
where they can confer together, and,
as everybody believes. be able to work
together for the good of the repub-
liCan party. Is a contamination long
devoutly desired. and for which there
was general congratulation.
Ii has been known to leading repub.
Leans for some time that Col. Roose.
Welt grieved over his alienation from
Ellhu Root and considered 1t one OF
the browning personal disasters OF the
split. at Chicago. That they were
brought together on common ground
where they could with dignity meet
the consideration of preparedness was
sa id to be happy auEury OF the posi-
bilty of finding still broader highways
which they can traverse together.
Do Not Believe He Is Candidate.
Republicans at the Capitol did not
construe the meeting having any
bearing upon the possible candidacy OF
Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency.
The best informed republicans in the
party leadership do not believe Col
Roosevelt desires to be a candidate
Thev are convinced that he has =
definite program. which does not in
clude his candidacy except under the
most remote contingencies.
They believe he is intent upon reunit-
ing the party and defeating Pres dent
Wilson. and that there is no sacrifice
which he will not undergo to effect that
end. They know. of course. that he eN-
poets to be consulted in the selection
of the candidate and think that he
! would be nightly pleased if it should
turn out that he is allowed to pick the
man.
Desires to Be Warwick.
They think if he could be the War
wick of the next republican candidate
he would throw himself into the cam
paign heart and soul for the republi.
can ticket.
Important results in New York pol
tiles are expected from the Root
Roosevelt reunion. With these two
men working together in harmony
New York republicans here look for a
general tightening up Of party lines
and a strong delegation to the repub-
lican national convention ready to OK
ert themselves for party agreement and
a strong candidate.

milk POURED IN bitches
BY STRIKING DA|RYMEN
Illinois Farmers Decline to Deal
With Distributors Refusing to
Give 22-Cent Increase.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The dairy farm
ers of northern Illinois made good their
threat today to dump milk into the
bitches rather than see it go to Chi
cago distributors who refuse to meet
the demand for an increase OF y cents
in the price Not until the strike was
actually under way today was it known
whether 1t would be a success or be
wrecked by individual capitulatiohs.
That it was real strike was dis
covered when the dealers found their
bottling plants picketed by farmers
armed with eggs and other missiles
ready to prevent the delivery of milk
by non-striking farmers.
At Mokena one dairy company was
forced to ask aid of the sheriff of Will
county when strikers began stopping
wagons on the way to its plant.
The sheriff sent a deputy, who was
roughly handled for a time. but sue
ceeded in forcing a passage for three
"insurgent" wagons.
Big Plant Forced to Close.
The plant of one of the biggest COM
NAMES at Huntley was closed indefinite
w. At Marengo crowd of farmers
dumped ten cans of milk brought in by
Fred Secore. At Dundee. where the
plant generally receives the milk of
forty farms only nine reported At
Algonquin nineteen farmers instead of
the customary one hundred brought in
their milk.
Similar reports came from other
points where the great Chicago milk
supply is gathered. At Batavia and
North Aurora it was said that 200 farm
ers gave away $4,000 pounds of milk
rather than deliver it at a price under
their demands
At the offices of the distributors III
this city the situation was admitted
to be serious, although it was said that
the full effect could not be known I'M
til Monday or Tuesday.

Historical details of the development

Great and in Austria by Frederick the
Great were given by Miss Janet Rich
ards last night at Rauscher's, Connec-
ticut avenue and l. street northwest
The talk, Peter the Great and Fred
erick the Great-the Progenitors of
Militarism in Europe" was given under
the auspices of Mary Washington Chap
ter, D. A. r.
1t was interspersed with bits of per-
sonal experience Of Miss Richards in
Europe just at the beginning of the
present conflict.
Russia, she said, rose to greatness
on the ruins of Sweden. and the great
territory of Russia today stands as a
monument to the very real militarism
OF Peter the Great. Pan-Slavism was
established by Peter the Great, and
meant that Russia was to get all for
the Slavs that she could.

said. was anything but congenial. and
he was constantly in trouble with his
father. being imprisoned for a long
time for trying to escape from the
country. He had terrible heart. gave
ms family poor food. and had ia
vorlte pastime at the table of throwing
the dishes around. He was very
strong disciplinarian of his family. The
whole slxty-three years of his life, she
said. was devoted to developing the
German spirit and expanding the Prus-
sian territory.

Harvey made all my objections
seem silly, Mrs. Waveriy. He said he
was not going to have the woman he
loved working as had to work at the
hospital while he had just coolies of
money to throw away. Besides, now
that had demonstrated to him how
delightful a real home could be, he
would be sure that l did not love him
if I gave it all up and sent him out
into the cold, cold world of fashion
able society.
Il loved him, Mrs. Waverly, as only
a lonely girl without friends or rela-
tives could love a boy who was as
good to her as Harvey had been to
me, and, with the realization that if
l gave up the little apartment l would
probably lose him, consented to live
there for a while until as Harvey
said, I can bring those obstinate old
folks around
For a month I was perfectly hap
Ply. Harvey came up to town as Of
ten as he could, and we went for long
rides through the fragrant dusk of
June twilight
Neither of US mentioned the sub
ject of marriage after that first eve
ming. l someway felt as though he
would think I did not trust him if I
should do so, and l knew he was very
unhappy when his thoughts strayed
to his family. He really wanted me
to be his wife, Mrs. Harvey. He loved
me. I am sure of it.
Zone day was alone in the apart
ment when the doorbeH rang and
opened the door to be confronted by
Harvey's father.
How do you do?' I said, and my
voice trembled. Won't you come in?'
Are you alone?'
Yes

ter hurried glance around sat down. |
I remained standing. How much do |
you want?' he demanded.
