AT THE B'NAI BIRTH Meeting.

AS most gratifying sequel to the Zion
istic Convention a very interested audi
ence attended the January meeting of the
Minneapolis Lodge l. O. B. B. last Thurs
day evening, evidently attracted by the
promised discussion of Zionism. Neither
were they disappointed. DR.. Myron
Sherper of st. Paul started things by de-
livering talk for Zionism at the close
of which he called for questions. An open
forum discussion followed in which the
negative was supported by Gustavus
Loevinger of st. Paul, Hiram D. Frankel
also of st. Paul, and Mr.. Bloom, formerly
of Des Moines, now a resident of Mime
apolis. The affirmative was upheld by
DR.. S. N Deinard, DIR. Geo. J. Gordon and
Rabbi G. David Matt. A very lively and
illuminating discussion took place at
times becoming very heated in tone.
Those present were so interested that
when the meeting adjourned at twelve
o'clock, it was decided to continue the
discussion at the next monthly meeting,
and perhaps at further meeting.
The official business of the meeting con-
sisted in the installation of the newly
elected officers by Mr. Hiram D. Frankel
of St. Paul, first vice-president of the
District Grand Lodge.

Trench Mortar Fire on Carso

WASHINGTON, Oct. GA dispatch
from Rome to-day quotes the war cor

that gossip Of an Austrian offensive
has been proved to be unfOunded. He
states that the Vienna "Fremdenblatt"
asserts that General Cadorna desired
to start a new offensive against Aus
tria last week, and as a consequence
there was an extreme enlivenment OF
trench mortar and artillery firing from
the Tolmino to the Southern Carso and
over the entire area OF the Balnsizza
plateau, which Is still in progress.
Although the firing was uninterrupted
on the part of the Italians, 1t was de-
clared not to be the prelude OF fresh
attack.
The Vienna paper also stated that
trains are arriving continually at the
Italian front from France, bringing
French and British soldiers, guns and
ammunition. This information has not
been confirmed.
The Italo-Austrian front was said TO
be experiencing such bad weather as

All France Exultant Over
Greatest Aerial Disaster In
Aicted on Enemy Since Be-
ginning of the War

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Germany
probably lost one-half Of her total ef'
fective feet of super-Zeppelins rs a re-
suit of the raid Of October 20 over
England, according to official cable
grams received here.
All France is exultant over what the
DISPATCHES declare TO be the greatest
defeat administered TO an air fleet
since the beginning OF the war. The
qualification is more intense because
it is now known that the German raid
was an attempt TO carry out fearful
threat of vengeance made four days
before.
On that occasion the German gov
ernment sent out warning TO both
France and England of dire punish
ment TO follow what the Germans de-
clared to be unwarranted and inhuman
attacks by British and French aviators
upon peaceful German towns. Reprlsals
were threatened In an official German
communication, which in part read;
"For every brick which falls from
peaceful German homes, whole rows OF
buildings will be overthrown in Paris
Sixty-six Already Destroyed
Summing up the extent of the dlsas-
ter to the German air fleet, the French
report says that Germany altogetheT
has constructed probably one hundred
Zeppelins, of which sixteen were de-
stroyed before the war. The losses Of
ficially reported by the Allies were SIX
in 1914. sixteen in 1915, twenty-five foI
1916 and three for 1917.
Thus the minimum of sixty-siX Yep
pelins have been destroyed, to which
must be added half a dozen more lost
by accident and in experimental trlais
Deducting machines loaned to Bulgaria,
Germany now has on the western front
only twenty-five super-Zeppelins. The
greatest air fleet concentrated against
England in Belgium and Northern Ger
many has never amounted to more than
sixteen Zeppelns.

IS Zeppelins in Raid
Ouer English Coast

PARIS, Oct. 22.--Oficial examination
Of the crews of the Zeppelins captured
in France on returning from the raid
over England shows that the eXpedi-
ton consisted of thirteen airships,
which left singly from three depots on
the night of October 10. The raid was
expected to last from twenty to twenty
five hours.
The raiders made for the English
coast, which was recognized by light
houses. They we're hampered consider
ABLY by the fire of British anti-aircraft
guns and by numerous searchlightss,
which caused them 20 drop almost al
their bombs when sailing at a height
of more than 5000 feet.
They were caught by a strong north,
easteriy wind, ard when they attempted
TO return TO their bases their speed was
slackened by the persistent head winds.
At dawn the LAG, the airship which
fell intact into the hands Of the French,
dropped 10 a lower altitude, her COM
marder believing he was over Holland
or Westphalia. The crew waved white
flags. Ii was not until after S o'clock

CHINESE MONARCHY
APPEARS DOOMED

Picking, July 10, via Tien Tsin.-
The Western Army, under Gen. Tsao
Yum, Military Governor of Chi Ii, is
now within few miles of the city,
while the forces of Gen. Chuan Chi
Kwein are a few miles southeast of
the capital. Heavy artillery fire can
be heard in that direction. Troops
from Kalgan, a province in Chi Ii,
have been placed in position to cut
off Gen. Chang. Hsun's retreat to-
ward the northwest. Heavy engage
ments are expected.
Bombs were again dropped on the
imperial palace by an airplane Of the
republicans. Foreign reinforcements
have arrived.
A reward of 100000 has been
placed on Chang Hsuan, dead or

Liang Chi-Chao, chief counsellor
of Tuan Chi Jul, leader of the re-

question of any compromise with
Chang Husan, as the republicans are
determined finally to overthrow him.
Tuan Chi Jul, interviewed at Tien
Tsin, is optimistic. He believes the
imperialist movement will collapse
in the next twenty-four hours.
