A ZEPPELIN RAID.
German Writer Describes an Airship
Raid on England.
In a recent issue of the Cologne
Gazette, a German ' journalist thus
describes an airship raid on the British
coast:
Intelligence cruises by airships and
aeroplanes almost daily increase our
knowledge of the enemy. The airships
float in their hangars ready to
sail at a moment's notice.
It is a barely growing dusk when
Lieutenant Commander X, in com!?
mand of airship L, receives an order
over the telephone to cruise on the
morrow in a northwesterly direction
in the lattitude of Terschelling. lie
gives the necessary orders, lies down
and early next morning enters the
hangar.
The crew of two deck officers and
twelve non-commissioned officers are
already at -work with a group of men
under the orders of the officer of the
guard. The lieutenant looks to see
that everything is in order.
Sailors in the gondolas test the
motors. One of the officers satisfies
himself that the supply of petrol
aSK^r " ~ "
is complete, while the other superintends
the placing of bombs and incendiary
missiles in the gondolas.
The 6kipper climbs into the gondolo,
and after a brief inspection expresses
his satisfaction with a nod of
the head.
He is very particular to note that
light refreshments, warm tea in
thermos flasks and bread and butter,
have been shipped. On longer
trips he is accustomed to take sausages
also. They are easily warmed
on the exhaust iii a tiny aluminum
pot. The necessary maps being also
in order, he descends to the
ground.
^. 1 There is silence in the great hall,
of which the doors have been open?
4 ed. The men who hold down the
' A;. - * %
vessel are in their places. The crew
are at their stations in the gondolas.
The officer in charge reports: ''All
in order" to the skipper, who calls
out instructions to discharge the
I water ballast.
There is a rush of water, and the
* vessel gradually rises above hei*
. props and floats in the air. The cap.
tain places her whole length, scanning
her with careful eye. Then he
climbs into the front gondola and
orders her to be taken out.
The lieutenant repeats the order
44Airship forward" and the men with
the mooring ropes tow her into the
open. A gust of wind outside causes
her to sway, and her nose is pointed
in tl>e direction of the wind. The
breeze increases now, as though it
had been waiting for the airship
to venture outside. A squall, seems
to threaten.
The skipper has to wait patiently
and squats on* the bulwark of the
gondola waiting for a more propitious
moment. The wind goes
down. Springing to his feet, he
shouts, "Loosen," and the mooring
rope at the bow is let go.
She is now held only by the gondolas,
into which the lieutenant
climbs?like an impatient steed
-i - ?L JAJ vii

tugging at itak ^mooring ropes. There
is a cry of Mention!" and a long,
shrill bla^t from the boatswain's
whistle. The last ropes are dropped,
and almost simultaneously the enj?|
gine room telegraphs signal "Motors
||b full speed ahead."
t With a noise like thunder the propellers
spring into life, and the vessel
shoots forward and upward,
i The forward gondola resembles
nothing so much as the bridge of a
warship and as in the chart house of
a cruiser so the skipper now bends
' over his maps. But the occupation
of an aviator is harder than that of
the seafarer.
rVlarl in fur linpri Ipa.thpr f?lotheS.
? he has to protect himself against
cold, which particularly attacks his
feet. He also has to protect his
ears from the noise of the motors,
so nerve racking is their throb. No
matter how long the cruise lasts the
officers never quit their posts, and
although hammocks are provided for
the crew it is seldom that they are
f*' used.
Already in the ascent the ship has
cleaved its way through banks of
clouds. The sun shining through
them on the sea facilitates steering.
With his eyes on the shadow of the
vessel and a piece of wood hanging
loose at the end of a string, the
skipper is able to reckon the speed
of
the vessel and the condit'on of
LiiO vviuu.
If the weather is dull and the
airship is above open water without
any landmarks in sight onl\
practice and seamanlike instinct can
help the commander to a knowledge
of his position. He must also reckon
not only with the prevailing wind
but with threatening changes. A
strong current from the direction uf<
home might make his recurn difficult.
This time, however, the vessel advances
in a straight line to the north.
west. A number of fishing vessels
can be seen at sea, all llying the
Dutch flag, but the skipper thinks
:
LIT) OX IX CHICAGO.
Saloons Closed for First Time in Forty
Years on Sabbath Day.
Chicago, Oct. 10.?Saloon and hotel
and restaurant bars were closed
here today for the first Sunday in
forty-four years through an order by
Mayor Thompson for the police to
enforce a State law, which had been
ignored so long as almost to have
been forgotten. The 7,152 saloons
have been regulated under a city ordinance,
which required only that
thev be closed between 1 and 5
o'clock in the morning. The police
received a few reports that saloons
in remote localities had admitted a
favorfcd few customers behind locked
doors today, but in the main the
order was rigidly observed. No arrests
were made.
Leaders of the liquor interests
sent the word out yesterday that the
law was to bef obeyed.
To Girls in General.
I loved you at the kitchen sink,
In duster, sifting ashes white;
I loved you at the roller rink,
When skates had sprawled you
left and right.
I loved you long, I loved you well,

I loved you when you learned to

With sputtering face you still had

I railed at every blessed "him"
Who tried to stay your floundering
arm.

I loved you on the tennis court;
When wildly you would prance
and shriek;
And on the bleachers?I'm a sport!
I tried not to frown when you
would speak.
But, ah, the end?a dismal lot?
No more your charms to me are
dear;
The limit's reached?I love you?not

his own thoughts. He knows that
British fisherman, even close under
their own coast, now seldom fly-anything
but Dutch colors.
By 3 p. m. his mission .is at an
end. He had received orders to be
back at the hangar before dusk, but
the weather being so favorable he
asks permission by wireless to act
on his own 'initiative and profit by
the favorable opportunity. "Agreed"
!is the reply.
Continuing his flight to the northwest
he determines to deliver a blow
against the English coast. It is yet
twilight when he approaches England,
and he ascends to a height of
4,000 feet in order to keep out of
sight of the watchful eyes on board
England's guardships.
Through a rift in the clouds a de|
stroyer could be seen making the
round of the guardships. There is
j nothing yet to be seen of the land,
but a blackish mistiness on the distant
horizon is recognized by trainI
ed eyes as smoke from the chimneys
of an industrial district,
j The skipper now knows that he
has steered a true course and that
[ his destination, a harbor with enemy
| dock yards, is before him. He remains
above the clouds until it is
dark, then approaching the coast, he
*_ IT. ^
detects the two moles maraing me
mouth of the river he is seeking.
Almost simultaneously flashes of
artillery fire come from below. The
rudder swings round, and, steering
past the attacking fortress ;the airship
is over the yards, arsenals, and
munition factories. The airship's
gunner is lying on his face by the
j sighting apparatus and fires at the
targets over which he is being steered.
There are now flames beneath us
which do not proceed merely from

ment of air, due to a tremendous explosion,
is felt in the gondolas. Below
us a large factory is seen to collapse.
The windows of the other workshops
suddenly become dark. The
men in the gondolas are under the
impression that they see policemen
hurrying through the streets to give
warning, and house after house is
suddenly swallowed in darkness un.til
the town and suburbs are in complete
obscurity.
But the work is done. After observations
have been made for over
an hour the return journey is begun.
The weather is clearer, but bitterly
cold.
The skipper sinks to an altitude of
nniv 200 fppt ahove Helgoland and is
helped by the moonlight along the
German coast. Above Nordernev the
maps are again requisitioned and
then the airship sails straight overland
for the hangar.

If you suffer from backache; headaches
or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
iy and are languid in ttie morning; il
tiie kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys
often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Bamberg residents desire more convincing
pooof of their effectiveness
than the statement of a Bamberg citizen
who has used them and willingly
testifies to their worth?
Mrs. M. R. Brickie, Elm St., Bamberg,
says: "My back ached and
pained me so that I could hardly do
my housework. I had dizzy spells ana
headaches and the kidney secretions
were to frequent in passage and unnatural.
I used a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills and they rid me of all symptoms
of kidney complaint."

Houston, Texas.?In an interesting
" tetter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton
writes as follows: "I think it is my duty
to tell you what your medicine, Cardui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
I was down sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn't seem to do
me any good. I lingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks. J
was in bed, so sick I couldn't bear foi 1
any one to walk across the floor.
My husband advised me to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. I have taken two
bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained
15 pounds and do all of my housework.
Friends hardly know me, 1 am so well."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
SO common to women, don't allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. It is purely vegetaoie,
its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural
way on the weakened womanly constitution.
You run no risk in trying Cardui. '

health and strength for more than 50
