NO MORE ZEPPELIN RAIDS
Germany Calls Halt to Un-
profitable War Move
Defense Too Strong

Geneva, Switzerland. Feb. 19.-The
Zeppelin campaign against London has
been found to be unprofitable The
cessation of German air attacks on
the British metropolis after the latest
appearances of the big dirigibles over
the city last fall has been due not to
fortuitous circumstances but to the
deliberate determination of the Ger
man leaders to abandon these attacks,
as has long been done in the case of
Paris.
The Associated Press correspondent,
from trustworthy source a few days
after the final London raid of the de-
cision to send no more Zeppelins and
sister ships Of the schucttelanz type
against London.
Weaken Battle Line.
Air raids against England. the cor
respondent was told. would not be
abandoned entirely. They were con-
ing at home guns, airplanes and men
of the British aerial defense which
otherwise would be freed for service
in France. but in future the attacks
would be directed against the prov
inces instead of London.
The last aud final expression of the
year. on November -, was directed
against the midland counties sand re-
suited in the loss ,of2two Zcppelins.
Effect on Neutrals.
The predominant reason for the de-
cision to discontinue attacks on Lon
don probably IS the increasing strength
and efficiency Of the@ air dcfcnses of
the city but the effect of the raids on
neutral opinion in view of the then
contemplated overtures, may also have
been Il factor.

OYSTER SUPPLY SOON DUE,
Season Opens in September, But the

Though the oyster season on some
portions Of Chesapeake bay in Mary
land opens September I. under the laws
of Maryland and Virginia, the oyster
taking on the Potomac does not begin
until September IS and then only the
taking Of oysters with tongs is allowed.
This means 1t will be after the middle
OF the coming month before the yes
sells laden with oysters from the Poto-
mac beds begin to arrive at the wha RI
here.
Reports received from the lower
Potomac state that the outlook for the
coming season is good The oysters
seem to be plentiful on the beds and
are in good condition. 1t is more than
probable that oyster prices in the COM
ing season will be higher than in past
years The oyster-takers say that
labor and materials cost SO much more
that higher prices must be obtained to
allow them any profit at ALL

PACIFIC SH|PYARD STRIKE
UP TO UNION LEADERS
Men Vote for Walkout and Officials
Are Comforting With

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. August e.
Whether there Is to be = general strike
Of nearly 10000 shipbuilders employed
at Pacific ports Is to be determined ap-
parently by the international unions
with which the coast locals are affiliat-
ed. More than ten thousand men at
Seattle have voted in favor of q strike
for increased wages and better work
ing conditions. At Portland 5000 have
voted to leave the question In the hands
Of union headquarters. and in San
Francisco $4,000 have considered strike
action in executive session. no an
nouncement being made as to the out
come of their deliberations.
Belief that the federal government
was voiced by union leaders today. g.
Y. Harry. representing the government
as q conciliator At Portland. addressed
the shipbuilding workers last night.
saying that the Washington authorities
were working to compose the differ
ences and that he believed . satisfac-
factory adjustment would be reached
soon.
The men employed In the Seattle ship
yards presented a demand to the en-
ployers for wage increases prior to
August /. when their previous agree
ment expire. The new scale was under
discussion and had already been &C
copied by several builders. when rep
resentativee of both sides were sum-
moned to Washington to confer with
the shipping board. This summons
followed the Communicating order
whereby the government took over the
contracts Of all ships building or con.
tracted for.
After the return of the men from
Washington last Wednesday 1t wal
learned that the shipping board had
failed to sanction the increases asked
by the unions. The builders claimed
that they were powerless. under thu
Communicating order, to grant any
concessions. The strike vote was the
result. While the vote was in progress
the shipping board took oognizance OF
the situation by announcing the forma.
ton OF a commission OF five member
to adjust all shipyard disputes. The
Seattle employers were uncertain today
whether the commission can be formed
and confer with tho local unions In
time to avert the strike.
