 .'7ow to Serve Without Waste of Time Or Energy was the title of the Message sent to all parts of the state by the Defense Council. It outlined the objects of the state council and it's relation to the federal govern ment as an arm of the Council of National Defense, and urged individ- uals to report to the council the var ious activities in their communities, 50 that needless Implications might be avoided and Connecticut be put in . position to go ahead with it's war work in the most efficient manner possible. The replies have made 1t plain that the patriotism of Connec- ticut has been aroused and that there

 From Charles L. Gaylord, president of the Bridgeport Business Mems as sociation the council has received . letter in which he says that his or- ganisation will assist in any way which the council may indicate.

are a great number doing their bit" to the limit of their time and ability.
 The defense council Is anxious to hear from all organizations or groups which are engaged in patriotic work. in order that the replies telling what each Is doing may be referred to former Governor Weeks committee, of which Rev. pr. J. J. CcCook is a member. and for which several ad- ditional members soon will bs named.
 Releases One for Service. ~
 A few of the replies already re. ceived indicate the spirit with which Connecticut people are facing the problem before them. For instance, Rev. Lyman 8. Johnson of New Brit ain, a Civil war veteran who served with General Joseph R. Hawley's fla. nous Seventh. c. ", has written the council that, although he is in his S0th year and has been forced into the retired list under the advice of physicians, he has taken up the work of Captain Clarence M. Thompson of Company H. 1st Connecticut Infantry. allowing Captain Thompson to join the colors without feeling that his work will not be taken care of in his absence. Captain Thompson is secretary of the Connecticut Prison association and his duties consist of talking with the men who leave the state prison at Wethersfield and start ing them on the right track when regain their freedom. MT. Johnson, in his letter, says II deem this temporary appointment, but for tho time being 1t releases one for active service. If there is anything else can do to aid the country in it's pres ent crisis, I hope to. be responsive to your call"
 Dr. R. M. Griswold of Remington. who represented the town of Berlin in the legislature of 1915. has writ ten that he is 64 years old but Is ready to serve in any capacity for which he is fitted. He says that he Is enrolled for service as coast pilot between Boston and Stamford and is ready to take up that line of work if he can take the place of . younger

LONE AIRMAN GETS
 ZEPPELIN RAIDER
Engages It in Battle and Bridgs
 It to Earth

London, June 18.-A lone British airman destroyed German Zeppelin and sent her crashing to the ground, wks,s flames charred those members of the crew who stuck to the machine rather than dive overheard to sure death thousands of feet below.
 This is the second time during tho war that such an exploit has been performed by a single flyer. Tho military authorities are withholding temporarily at least-the name of the hero.
 At about 2:sO the Zeppelin ap- peared over the east coast town of West Anglia and awakened the townpeople with bombs. She was en- gagged immediately by anti-aircraft guns. Hundreds of the towns people rushed from their homes half dressed and watched the fighting. which last ed more than an hour,
 It is believed that at least one of the shells from the land battery struck the Zeppelin. Finally she started to float toward the south east just as British airplane ap- peared on the scene. As the giant German flyer tried to make get away in the darkness searchlights from below were trained on her and her course was illuminated so that the spectators saw every movement
 As the British airman pursued, the Zeppelin turned and twisted in an at tempt to dodge the shots from his rapid fire gun. The airman headed straight at her and sent shot after shot into her great black body.
 The Zeppelin turned her batteries upon the flyer, but the shots ap- peared to go wild. Finally second flyer ascended. Before he reached the fighting zone the crowd below let out a great cheer as flames en- veloped the Zeppelin and she went crashing to the ground.
 Pedestrians and cyclists dashed off in the direction of the spot where the Zeppelin fell. but few of them succeeded in locating the wreck which was found several miles from the coast. An ambulance was rushed to the scene but the surgeons found nothing for them to do-the Germans were all dead and badly charred.
 Within a few minutes after the Zeppelin struck the ground the Brit ish aimman descended nearby, un- harmed.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF NEW YORK

There will be manifold and learned
reasons advanced for the defeat OF Mitchell,
In New York, but the real essence OF the
case Is, his is not the sort Of personality
that appeals to the popular mind.

In sense, Hughes was afflicted with the
same malady.
Politics is a many sided game, requiring

Hylan may be all that the New York
World says he is-and the World laid it
on pretty thick-but at least he is a man
with more qualities common to us all than
Mitchell possesses.
This is to be construed in no sense
criticism of the present mayor. From all
accounts he made the best executive the
metropolis ever had, which is saying much.
His high purpose, integrity, progressive
ness are much to be admired. But
Between him and Bill johnson of the
Bowery there was nothing in common, no
sympathy, no tie, and johnson, being a
citizen of the metropolis, had as loud a
voice as the president of Columbia
There was much mud slung in the cam
paign, and charges and counter charges of
disloyalty and pro-Germanism, but it is
probably fair to say that the contest was
decided on its merits according to New
York's ken.
