DEFY BRITISH DEFENsEs.

ASSOCIATED Press SUMMARY
Just when it appeared that the Ger
mans virtually had abandoned the
use of the Zeppelin for air raids on
England because of effective defense
that had been established against
them, another Zeppelin fleet has pene'
trated the eastern and northeastern
counties and reached at least the edge
of the London area.
The bombs dropped by the raiders
killed twenty-seven and injured fifty.
three others. it is announced officially.
These casualties cover all the dis
tricts visited. Houses and business
structures were damaged to some ex.
tent. says the brief statement issued.
ZEPs REPLACE AlRPLANEs.
All the big raids in recent weeks
have been conducted by means Of air
planes which were extremely difficult
to combat on the moonlight nights
chosen for their operations. After the
last series of raids during which heavy
casualties occurred, it was announced
that a reprisal policy had been de-
cided upon by the British government.
The last previous use of the Zeppe-
lin for raiding purposes was on Sep
TENDER "a when an airplane raiding
fleet also was in action. The air
planes reached London and worked
considerable havoc, but the Zeppelins
barely succeeded in reaching the
coast line.
TWO LOST LAST YEAR.
The Germans lost two Of their big
airships on November % of last year
when a raid was being attempted, and
thereafter all through the spring, sum.
mer and early fall of this year air.

clusively for these death dealing visits.

MODERN SOCIETY
FOUND WANTING

The Spirit of &c" and The Spirit
OF Today when placed side by side
in comparison leave much to be Ge-
sired at the present time. Especially
is this true when modern socIely IS
taken as the standard OF comparison.
Ii Is strongly emphasized in the cur
rent feature offering at the Hawaii
theatef, THE Dawn Of Freedom"
Charles RichEian, former stage ia
vorite and star at various times for u
number OF the leading producing COM
panies, appears in the leading role Of
this vitagraph Big Four" feature
film. The subject, aside from being
unique, is handled in a most novel
manner from the standpoint of. the
film A patriot, with the spirit Of 49,
comes out Of the past like shadow
and endeaYors to bring solution to
modern day problems through the
medium OF the ideals of gallantry and
love as they existed in Revolutionary
days.
The patriot finds loyalty and homer
on the wane and his every effort is
bent towards a restoration of condi-.
tions as he had known them when
Washington crossed the Delaware and
other great events were happening
that were to make the keystone of,
American history. The frailty and
weakness of present day social life.
do not disgust the patriot. but they
make his heart bleed to reclaim the.
land he loves.
