damas!ng second and driving a
third away. The fate of the other
two airships in the squadron is not
disclosed in the official statement
The fact, however, that the report
said 'Zeppelins crossed the coast" is
ground for the presumption that
these reached land.
There is no evidence as yet that
they dropped any bombs. 1t is prob
able the crews were kept busy in
protecting their craft against pur-
suing airmen.
The official statement relative to
the air raid follows:
Five enemy airships attempted to
cross the coast last night. but while
still at sea were attacked by Royal
air force contingents, cooperating
with naval units.
Three were engaged in action
and one was shot down in flames
forty miles from the coast. Another
was damaged, but probably succeed
ed in reaching it's base"

FIERCE HUN ATTACKS RESISTED
BY AMERICANS AND FRENCH
JAPAN TO STAND
BY SOVIET FOES
IN THE FAR EAST
Plans For Putting Move Into
Force Are Seen at
VladivoStok

Tokia, Saturday, Aug. s.
Premier Count Terauchi, in a state
ment concerning allied action in
Siberia, said the Japanese govern
ment would take further military
measures in case the position of the
Czecho- -Slovaks demand it. The
premier also indicated that if the
chaotic situation in Siberia Contin-
ucd the government might find it
necessary to adopt suitable military
measures to combat the Austro- Ger
man menace in the far east.
Count Terauchi said the present
step had been taken in perfect ac-
cord with all the allies. He hoped,
he said, that it would mark the be-
ginning of a new era of peace and
order in Siberia.
1t is understood that the Seiyukai
majority party in the House is will
ing to adopt a wait-and- see policy.
Consequently the Kenseikai minority,
which had hoped to effect an op-
position combination, is powerless
for the present. There seems every.
reason to believe tina tthe tenseness
OF the situation has been relieved
and that the plans for the protec-
ton of Czecho-Slovaks and of the
allied interests against German and
Austrian influence in Siberia would
be carried out without excitement.
AS far as Japan is concerned every
detail for putting the plan into ex-
ecuuon already has been arranged.
A red cross base hospital with a
full equipment and complete stan
has been organized at Vladivostok
and additional supplies. nurses and
doctors are leaving weekly.

discourage the Americans and their

Later they began an ineffective

Meanwhile the American and
French heavy guns TO the south

the Germans were supplementing
their gas shellnig with their mine

were kept working full time in the

NO RELIEF is IN SIGHT
Warmest August Day Since
Weather Bureau Was ES-
tablished in City

A new maximum temper
ature record for all time was
made in Harrisburg to-day
when the mercury regist-
cred 102 degrees at 2.45
o'clock. Prospects are that
it will go several degrees
higher before the at :ernoon

Blistered Harrisburg is to-day
sweltering through what is expected
to be the hottest day experienced by
the city during the history of the
Harrisburg weather bureau, estab-
lished in 1888. One death from the
heat was reported together with
much suffering.
Whether a new high temperature
record is recorded or not, a new heat
record for August will be hung up.
Temperature readings at the Harris
burg Weather Bureau at 1.30 o'clock
this afternoon showed the mercury
standing at 99.2 degrees Fahrenheit,
the highest ever recorded in Harris
burg during August and only 1.S de-
grees below the highest ever reached
in Harrisburg. Forecaster Demain
would not be surprised to see a new
record made, he says. The compare
lively low humidity to-day is aiding
Harrisburg to bear the heat.

To-day's temperature is also the
highest temperature of the summer,
easily breaking yesterdays high

With temperatures to-day averag-

yesterday, it is difficult to estimate
what heights will be attained by the
mercury on the weather bureau tow

day is over.
No Relief
The highest record made in the
city since the installation of the Har-
risburg Weather Bureau in 1888 was
101 degrees, attained on July 8, 1898.
Only two other days have attained
higher temperatures than to-day. on
