fronts the $35 1000, 900 campaign at this
hour. 1t turks in our being too opti-
mistic over results TO date. The fact
that Sl7,000,000 already has been
raised is, in a sense, misleading, for 1t
includes a number Of very large con-
tributions that were practically Sc
cured before the campaign actually
opened. While we will doubtless re-
ceive other large contributions before
the campaign closes, We can only hope
to secure tae remaining eighteen mill
IONS by obtaining very large number
OF contributions"

First Zeppelin
Attacks Antwerp

When we got down we found
everybody else stirring, and 1t took
us several minutes to get II through
our heads that we had been through
more excitement than we VOTED Of.
Those distant explosions that we
had taken so calmly were bombs
dropped from a Zeppelin which had
sailed over the city and dropped
death and destruction in its path.
The first bomb fell less than two
hundred yards from where we slept
no wonder that we were rocked
in our beds! After a little break
fast we sailed forth
The first bomb was in little
street around the corner from the
hotel, and had fallen into a narrow

Ten Were Killed
And Many Injured

As we afterward learned, ten
people were killed outright; a num-
Der have since died of their injuries
and a lot more are injured, and
some of these may die. A number
Of houses were completely wrecked
and a great many will have to be
torn down. Army officers were
amazed at the terrific force of the
explosions. The last bomb dropped
as the Zeppelin passed over our
heads fell in the centre Of a large
souare-la Place du Poids Publique.
II tore a hole in the cobblestone
pavement some twenty feet square
and four or five feet deep. Every
window in the square was smashed
to bits. The fronts Of the houses
were riddled with holes, and every
body had been obliged to move out.

near one of the smaller bombs and

Spanish Legation. His wife had
been worried sick for fear Of bonn

their large family Of children. An
other bomb fell not far from the
houses of the consul general and
the vice-consul general, and they
were not at all pleased. The win
dows on one side of our hotel were
also smashed.
