DEATH IN RAID

a coast town headed seward, its en-
CINE making the loudest noise ever
heard there from an aircraft.
The sound resembled the noise of
a Zeppelin and came from a great
height.
- Test Moonlight Attacks.
The raids owe the southeastern
coast on Sunday and Monday seem to
have been largely for the purpose of
testing the possibility of attack by
moonlight.
Like the single aviator who dropped
bombs on Dover Sunday night, those
who came last night kept at a very
high altitude and while their ma
chimes could be heard they could not
be seen. Nevertheless British air
planes kept up in pursuit.
After dropping bombs over a wide
area. many of them falling into fields
or the sea, the raiders departed as
quickly as they came.
Naval Barracks Hit
A dispatch to the Star from Chat
ham says that part of the naval har-
racks there was struck by a bomb
during the raid, causing serious loss
of life. The Chatham stock yards,
the message states, escaped DANA &c

BRITISH RAID BRUGES!
AirIlanes Wreak Havoc on German
Military Points in Belgium.

London, Sept. 4.-Continuing their
raids over Belgium, British aviators
on Sunday night made attacks in the
vicinity of Bruges. A British airplane
fought six Germans and shot down
one of them. The following official
account of these operations was given
out today:
Naval aircraft made u bombing raid
at midnight Sunday on The docks,
submarine shelters, and railway sid
ing at Bruges. Bombs wire observed
to explode over the detectives and
fire was caused adjacent to the lock
gates of the EcluSe canal.
A raid also was made early Mon
day morning on the airdrome at Vars
senaere (41@ miles southwest of
Bruges). Bombs were seen to explode
among the sheds. One of our ma
chimes was attacked by six hostile air.
craft and succeeded in shooting down
one out of control.
In an engagement between one of
our aircraft patrols ana enemy ma
chimes there were three decisive COM
bats. One of our machines failed to
return"

Riga's fall.
Greatest Teuton Campaign.
Germany has ventured apparently
upon one of the greatest military
campaigns of the war. In the three
weeks of grace that are still left to
the high command before the reichs
tag carries out its threat to force a
showdown on peace terms, linden
burg evidently plans to deliver what
every man, woman and child expected
of him when more than a year ago he
was made chief of staff. The drive on
Riga is the forerunner of a supreme
effort to realize his oft-proclaimed
maxim:
Russia must be beaten first"
These, according to the best inform
ed experts here, are the conclusions
to be deducted from the mass of
cumulative evidence offered by official
situation as created by two main fac
tors, namely:
1-Russia's flat rejection of all sep
arate peace bids and her unflinching
will to fight to a finish.
2-The pope's peace message
They are, in fact, these experts say,
more than conclusions. They form
the logical road to which thousand
and one shreds of evidence, pieced
together, point as the last chance of
Germany's military machine, chance
that will be irretrievably lost by next
spring, when America will be going
lover the top in the west.

Italians Continue Advance.
Udine, Italy, Sept. 4.-Field Mar
shall Won ARR, chief of staff of the
Austrian army, is reported to be in
specting the Italian front for the pur-
pose of organizing his troops, demon
allied by many recent defeats. Mean
while the Italians continue their
steady advance and are spreading
over a larger tract of the country,
capturing trench after trench and in
some cases finding contingents of
Austrian troops, literally exhausted
and suffering from thirst and hunger,
their means of communication having
been cut off by the well directed Ital
ian fire. Monte San Gabrielle still is
making desperate efforts at resist
ance, but Italian pickets are literally
creeping up the slopes making its fall
only a matter of time.
Army officers and others who have
read the Austrian war bulletin are
much amused over the statement that
the Italians are fleeing when as a
matter of fact the Austrians constant
ly are losing territory. Since the be-
ginning of the present advance the
Italians have gained ground every day
while all Austrian efforts to recapture
lost positions have been shattered by
the energetic resistance of Cadorna's
army

London, Dec. 21.--The Rada, the governing body of the Ukrane, ap- parently is maintaining its determin- ed stand toward the BolsheviM gov ernment. It Is reported that 1t has converted it's sympathies with the movement of General Kaledines, the Cossack leader, into definite alli- ance.
 Advices received from Russia first to the effect that the Bolsheyih com missioners after receiving Rada's re- jection of the BolsheviE ultimatum, sent another one, giving the Ukrane further 48 hours in which to recon slider it's refusal to acquiesce in the demands of the Bolshevih govern ment.
 Another report received here says that Odessa now has definitely gone over to the side of the Ukrane. De- tails of the capture of Rostov-on- Don, printed in Petrograd, show there were six days fighting before the Cossacks entered the town last Sat urday. The red guards lost 800 men killed and 1000 wounded in the fighting. The Cossacks gave short shifts to the red guards, whom they hate The Bolsheviki chiefs fled from the town on board warships.
