 Whether it was the unfavorable weather or the importance of the meeting that kept the members away could not be learned. After waiting a few minutes longer, Maxwell Por- ter and Robert J.

Although the special common coun- cil meeting called last evening was one of the most important held in some time, as appropriations totaling S234 900 were to be acted upon, only 5 city fathers were present when the session was to have started.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
Bomb is Thrown At Premier of Egypt By Theological Student-Nobody is Injured.
Injured.

London, Sept. "A bomb was thrown at Hussein Rushdi Pasha, pre- mier of Egypt, at Alexandria on Tuesday, according to an Alexandria dispatch received here. The bomb was concealed in a basket of grapes but did not, injure the premier. The assailant was a theological student.
 Demonstrations were held by Egyp- tian nationalists in Cairo and Alexan- dria on Saturday and Sunday, accord ing to reports received on Wednesday the cause of the demonstrations being, it is alleged the receipt of a telegram from Said Pasha Agzlou, head of the Egyptian nationalist deputation in Paris, stating that the foreign rela tions committee of the United States senate had declared Egypt should be independent. There were quite seri- ous incidents at Cairo, several persons being injured when mounted police dispersed crowds. The attempt against the life of the Egyptian premier prob ably was one of the results of the dis orders in the two cities.

London.-Sone Of the wonders

of by Maj. Gen. Sir F. h. Sykes, chief
Of the air staff. in an address before

1t was asserted by General Sykes
that In four months. between July and
October, 20 trips were made across the
English channel. The mileage ira
versed was S,OS5 and 1,s43 passengers
were carried, although flying was pos
sible only on Il days.
As for the future, the government
was looking forward to n weekly mail
service to India, for which 25 machines
would be required and the charge for
sending mail few shillings an ounce.
Another route contemplated was from
Cape Colony to Cairo, for which air
planes and flying boats would be used.

LondOn.-London's aerial aprons, or
now the Gothas were kept away.
might form one tense chapter in a
book about how the British baffled the
Hun air raiders. The last six months
OF the war there was not single air
raid on London. due. in part, to the
fact that the city's defenses were such
that they filed enemy flyers with ter
ror. Any aviator that escaped the
death traps-and the chances were
about one In three he would not-gen-
orally was of little value thereafter for
hying. because his nerves were shat
tered. A British aviator who by acci-
dent was caught In the aerial barrage,
but managed to land safely near Lon
don, tossed on bed, verging on In
sanity for weeks. so horrible was the
experience.
Roughly, there were three chief
weapons for dealing with Hun air
raiders; the aerial barrage. aided by
searchlights; fast, fighting scout planes
that attacked the invaders, and aerial
aprons. The Germans. it may be noted.
were never able to perfect any scheme
to prevent British aviators from
bombing Rhine towns even in the day
time.
Aerial Aprons Queer Things.
The aerial aprons were queer
things. They reminded one of rope
portieres. Upon signal. captive bal
looms were sent aloft from the out
skirts of the city, the balloons being
In pairs. These buoyed up a curtain
OF dangling ropes, a half-mile or go
long. These aerial aprons served two
purposes: First. they forced the raid.
ers to fly high, and when they flew
high they could not drop bombs ef-
fectively; second. any machine dart
ing into the ropes courted destruction.
When flying high they were met by the
British fighting scouts. These aerial
aprons were shifted daily as to height
SO enemy airmen could not be fore
warned.
London always had the protection
of four score airplanes during the
last year Of war. These machines
could mount to 10000 feet. The avi-
atofs were picked night flyers. At
such heights 1t Is difficult to see an
other airplane at 100 yards. But at
a given signal these birdmen took to
the skies. jealously guarding the ap.
proaches to London. These brave fel-
lows often chased a hostile machine
into the barragc and a few British
birdmen were killed by their own
shells. But whether 1t was u Zeppelin
