Driven Out in Hand-to-Hand Bat

BRITISH LINES RE.EsrAsLlsHEo
Germans Make Another Attempt to
Invade London but Are Driven
OF Each Time.

LONDON, Sept. 25-The Germans
delivered a powerful attack against
the British east of Ypres today. They
succeeded in gaining foOthold in the
British lines on narrow fronts. Hand
to.hand fighting ensued and after an
other strong German attack the Brit
ish drove them from their newly won
positions and reestablished their line
in it's entirety. according to Field
Marshal Haig's report tonight.
Another hostile airplane raid on
London took place tonight. There
were two attacks apparently, for af,
ter forty minute quiet interval anti
aircraft guns resumed firing in the
London district.
In the first attack after brisk firing
by the defensive guns, lasting only
ten minutes, the raiders were driven
off without succeeding in reaching the
city of London.
The firing OF the antiaircraft guns
in the second attack was of only briet
duration. The raiders were finally
driven off and the police gave out the
"all clear" signal at $3.50 o'clock.
A report OF the raid was issued by
Field Marshal French as follows:
'"The Thames estuary was again
the object of hostile air raids this eve
ming. The Kent and Essex coast was
crossed at various points and few
bombs were dropped, but no casualties
as yet reported.
Zone raider penetrated as far as
the southeastern outskirts Of London
where two bombs fell, causing some
twenty casualties"
LONDON, Sept. 25-Fifteen persons
were killed and seventy wounded ir

The Zeppelins which crossed the
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coasts did
not penetrate inland, being driven of
by gunfire. Three women were in
jured.
Only two airplanes penetrated the
defenses of London, it is officially re
ported.
The German planes appeared over
the southeastern district of London
soon after 8 o'clock and the engage
ment lasted until nearly half past nine
The raiders were scattered and did
not come in compact formation.
Many star shells were used by the
defense guns, giving the appearance
OF spectacular fireworks. The scream
of the torpedoes used by the Germans
was easily distinguishable from the
explosions of guns or bombs.
The people of London behaved ex
tremely we'll. They followed police
instructions for taking cover, and
there was no panic.
German Zeppelins also appeared
across the coast Of Yorkshire and Lin
cOlnshire.
A successful raid by British naval
airmen on the German airdrome al
Varssenaere, Flanders, on Monday, is
announced in an official statement

Evidence increased today, however,
that orders to Secretary Daniels pro-

by high government officials that the
president has received assurances from
legal advisers that he has the right

On the other hand, there were still

Of the favorable outlook for limited
debate in the senate, re-introduce the

Washington, Mar SIN a stingins
editorial headed "Slacker Bill Must

charged Senator Stone, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee with
having displayed pro-German tactics
and ga yellow streak.n
''It is amazing" the editorial saws,
"that the democratic majority of the
senate should be hesitating over the
question whether Stacker Bill should
continue to represent his party as chair
man of the most important committee in
the senate. II is not whether or not he
is in favor of the termination of filibus-
tcring methods by the projected change
in the senate rules. The 12 apostles of
Kaiserism seem to be tumbling over
themselves to vote right on that ques-
ton.
"The Stacker never has been any.
thing but politician. He is pro- Ger
man, first, because he believes his re.
election to the senate depends upon his
maintaining hold on the German-Amer
lean vote in Missouri. The American
people want a plain American in the

Under disguises as transparent as
any assumed by the innumerable agents
of the kaiser's propaganda in this coun-

again as one who, in the presence of

even sacrifice American rights.
" He has made this plain from the day
of the Lusitania horror, which is dis
missed as lightly as any junker and for
which he found as many excuses as any

essentials involving Germany he has
been persistent in opposition to the
United States and yet has retained q
senate craftsmanship which gives him
immense influence upon the foreign
policy of the United States"
