The following official statement r.us
Issued here tonight:
"Krc.iu January IB to 20, German
airships bombarded tbe fortified place
of Yarmouth ?ad other places on the
Knglish east const. Tbe attack was
successful. Considerable damage
was done.
"The airships were shelled, bnt re
gained their home port, undamaged."
? LONDON, Jan. 20.-The German
airships-for they are thus described'
by the German official report-which
raided the coast towna of Norfolk
County. Inst night, dropped 20 or moro
hombs. The missiles killed four per
sons, injured 10 or more and did con
siderable properly damage. A report
that a fifth person, a soldier, had been
killed, proved incorrect.
Yarmouth and King's Lynn, the
largest towna visited,' suffered tho
heaviest damage. Eight bomba were
dropped in Yarmouth, one killing an
- old mun and an old woman, injuring
three others and smashing every win
dow within a radius of several hun
dred yard?.
At King's Lynn n wi*man and boy
i o altlea:nacV the hombs demolished
n row of cottages.
The aircraft also visited Cromer,
which, however, was not attacked;
Sherlngham, where four bomba were
dropped - Deersingham. Grimston.
3r.?iwSbk>m and t?euchuui. each of
which, received one missile.
Snettlsham and Heacham are with
in three mites ot the ktng's Sandring
ham residence. Near the former, place,
where the windows of the village
church wero shattered, Queen Mother
Alexandria has a summer bungalow.
What composed the, raiding fleet is
still a matter ot discussion. Major
Astley, who comma'nds thc national
reserve ot King's Lynn.- says he will
report officially that one of the latest
Zeppelin dirigibles took part.
Some persona declare they saw
huge airships, but othes assert only.
aeroplanes and scaplft ?cs participat
ed.
Aeronautical experts are^of the
opinion, from tbe sise of the bombs
dropped, weighing from *o to 100
pounds each, that non-rigid airships
.were employed, and as the Gerniap
ofilcj&l" .account .refers .to "airships,"
it IP,, presumed these were ?the crafty
used. They can be built more quickly'
than Zeppelins, but are slower and
carry less ammunition.
Whether by coincidence or because
the British and French author i tie?
had knowledge ot the enterprise) more
stringent, regulations as to lighting
went .into effect las!; night both la
Paris and London.
As a . consequence ot the raid in
rurance rates against damage by air-,
craft were doubled. A large business
1 was done even at the higher rates.
Battles both in the east and the
west now consist largely of artillery
engagements, with occasional Infantry
attack?. >The French claim further;
progress in tho region of Pont-a- !
Mousson, to which military men at
tach much importance. It is predict
ed that the Germans will launch a
heavy offensive as they did with?great
SUCCORS at SolsBons. to put a Stop of
the Frenefa advance towards the roads
leading to Mete. [.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 20.-Governor
Manning tonight Issued the following
statement:.
"I feel that an Investigation into
conditions at the asylum, in order to
be ot value In remedying those con
ditions, must be free from any touch
of politics. To this end, I have secur
ed the services of Dr. A. P. Herring,
secretary of the Lunacy Commission
of Maryland, who today began a scien
tific study of the asylum and its needs.
I discussed the subject this morning
with" Dr. T. J. Strait, superintendent
lof the asylum and Dr. Julius H. '..'Ty
lor, Mr. James A. Summersea and Mr.
\. H. Dean of Greenville of the board
>f regents, all of whom warmly en
dorsed the plan for an .impartial In

.'Dr. Herring, has both.- th?. 4c?h?K
cal training at hand and th? practi
cal experience necessary to the work
before him. The asylum hos been the
football of politics too long, and the
investigation I have asked Dr. Her
ring; to saeke is simply a?, s?? "mist's in
? ventilation Into an asylum. Dr. Her
ring was recommended fjrst by Dr.
Thomas W. Salmon, of Neu York,
president of the National committee
on mental hygiene, a recognised au
thority.
"The asylum has suffered, to my
mind, from multiple control, with di
vided responsibility and lack ?of a def
inite plan of policy. My general plan
is to substitute for this the superin
tendency of one man and that man a
physician of ablllt;-. To relieve him
of burdensome and exacting routine,
there should, of course, be a business
manager, but to a* (old difficulties and
lrlction or dual control, tho business
manager should be answerable direct
ly to the scientific head of the institu
tion.
"Dr. Salmon estimated that the pre
liminary investigation would cost
about $500. I have bad lt begin at
once so that, if legislation should be
found necessary for the improvement
of the asylum, the legislature might

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-For the,- first
time in History tbc United States is
'experiencing the sensation of a real
trade balance" in its favor. Dr. Ed
ward E. Pratt, Chief of the federal ]
bureau of foreign and domestic com
nerce, told the Illinois Bankers' As
sociation at a dinner here tonight
As a result of developments abroad
luring the last six months. Dr. Pratt
said, "we have turned the coruer ana
ire facing a new era of bueiness ex
pansion in this country-an era which
lias made Ote term home market' ob
solete and archaic, and put in its
place the unfamaliar term 'world 1
market.' " He explained that while (
the export excess in favor of the Unit- 1
ad States had ranged annually for 14 c
years from $350,000,000 to 650,000,- a
)00. "Invisible factors" had made this t
inly an apparent favorable balance. t
Foreign investments in the United c
States, the speaker said, totalled $7,- t
SOO.000,000 with an annual interest ot t
(350.000,000, constituting a fixed
charge on American industries, while <
American investments abroad produc- ?
sd a revenue yearly only of $75,000,-.
.?oo, reducing the balance against the i
United States on this count to $275.- i
)00,OQO. American tourists traffic also j
poured millions into European col- c
Tere each year, he added, the 1914 fig- c
ipsheing approximately $2SG.ooo.ooo; *
SaMga bom Americans s?nt hoirie an- a
mally at least $150,000.000, and tor- r
sign shipping companies collected
freight from American foreign com- j
nerce amounting to $25,000,000 a year. G
The result of all these invisible lac- t
ors during the fiscal year ot 1M4
Dr. Pratt said, had been to produce
in actual excess -of remittances over r
receipts, of $55,000,000.
The change began on July 1, 1914, \
ie said, and by December 21, **??* ?av- _
>rable trade balance was $133,000,- _
>00/due to huge exportations of food- ?
stuffs, merchandise, gold and silver. _
flt the same time came, "a period of .
export capitalism, and we are Just
it the point of expandir g into the I
world markets."
To Illustrate ''export capitalism," 1
Or. Pratt cited the Swedish loan ot *
15,000,000, the ArgenUne loan of $15.- \
100.000 and the Russian loan of $25,- )
)00,000 all floated in this country dur- 1
og the last six month?.
Dr. Pratt said information now at J
lend placed the total of war loans 1
nade by the belligerents at $6,000,- .
)00,000, all made st high rates of in
terest.
"The income expected and obtained J
m Investments in Europe," se contln
jed, "has been much' less than' that *
prevailing or expected In this conn- ,
try. This war will, however, be sue-" *
:ecdcd by a period ot high interest,
it will be succeeded by a period of ,
ntense demaud for capital for recon- 1
rtruction purposes. The stock of capi- 1
al is being depleted and . lt is mo*e c
ikely that financial exhaustion rath- (
>r than military exhaustion will de- J
termine the Anal result. f
"At the close of the war, then, Eu
rope will not have much advantage *
iver us In the matter of cheap capt- 1
al," he concluded: ?
Dr. Pratt said development of trade

"After her present debts are Hqnl- 1

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-After a
three days speech against tho govern
ment ship purchase bill, Senator Uur
ton yielded the .floor late today lo Sen
ator Weeks, who continued, what
Democratic leaders now regsrd as an
open filibuster. Determined to keep !
the measure cons Jointly bd'ofe the j
lion measures, thc Democrats tonight
senate, even if it delays appropria-1
renewed their caucus to consider
amendments.
Administration leaders declared the
Republican opposition would be given ;
full sway in the hope that lt would!
wear itself out. No Democrat, they
said, would speak on thc bill for many
days. After Senator Weeks has fin
ished his speech Senators ?xxlge,
Jones, Root, Sutherland, Bmoot, Ban
degree. Gallinger and Nelson are ex
pected to continue the fight, flans |
were msde at a Republican conference
today providing that when speeches
on the present btu have been exhaust,
ed a substitute will be offered on
which to base further arguments.
Some Republican leaders predict to
night that the Democrats would' give
up hope of passing th0 bill this seas

Senator Burton talked continuous
ly for moro than six hours today. His
address !ontlnued o?er ?h? U\~ih hour
but be drank two raw eggs brought
to him in a glass while he listened
i/o a question by Senator Sutherland.
Senator Burton waa emphatic tn his ;
prediction that the purchase of in
terned ships would lead to internat
ional complications..
Senator Va rd a man Suggested that I
diplomatic negotiations with Great1
Britain might remove that objection,
if the United States would agree'not
to pay for the boats until after the
war.
"I understand negotiations along
this line bave been carried on," res-!
ponded Senator Burton, "and - that
Great Britain and France are ready to I
agree to such a course, but if that be
, true there is no necessity io* this bill.
Private capital would be only too wil
ling to invest in chipping under such
conditions."
Toward the end of his address Sen
ator Burton's voice gradually weaken
ed and Republican colleagues fre
quently afforded him brief respites
while they asked parliamentary ques
tions.
The Democratic caucus sent back to
committee an amendment proposed
by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
providing that the proposed govern
ment ship corporation should "in no
Instance operate any vessel, except j
where the same cannot be chartered
or leased tor operation through anoth
er corporation, Arm or individual^ un- I
lesa such operation is necessary to j
move the commerce of citizens bf the |
United States."
Democrats of the commerce com
mittee recommended thst two outside 1

shipping board, which, as now pro
video in the bill, would consist of
three members ot .the cabinet only.
No decision was reached, action being
deferred until tomorrow nlgnt, when

Give Up Hope
of Restoring

Judaism Not a Policy of State

Jew Is a Follower of That
Religion.
(Ry A*?oci?l*cl Pren.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-"We have re
linquished all expectation of a re?]
birth ot Jewish nationality and a res? <
toratiop of a Jewish slate," declared
Rabbi David Phlllpson. of Cincinnati,
? in an address today before the con
gress of American Hebrew Congrega
tions. "This union, constituted, as ii
lis on a religious basts, ts the embod
iment of the interpretation of Juda
ism, by what ls popularly known as i
tho reform movement.
"Thc destruction of the Jewish
state by the Romans, andthe accom
panying cessation of Jewish national
existence we look upon as providen
tial, in our view Judaism is not a
policy of etatecraft, but p. reiigi?nV
tfle Jew aa Jew is a follower ot that]
religion; the Jewish community ls a j
religious body.
?S such then we stand a religious
Organisation-bound by thousands of J
ties to our great historic past, but. not
permitting the dead hand of that past
I to bar the progress of the present,
recognising the continuity of God's
revelation in the ages as they pass
?and interpreting our-Judaism in the
light or a universal religion for all
lands and not a national religion for
[one land.
"It would appear that tbh> union
should once agata take the initiative
and work toward the consummation
of that great need of American Jew
1 lab life, an organization of organize
tiona Such an American organisation
would doubtless lead to similar ss lo
tions in other lands and finally Into I
nn international organisation, which
would represent Jewish, interests on{
all necessary occasions. Such an oc
casion will present Itself,* for exam-j
pie, at'the close of the present mur

portunity 'for tbs safeguarding of the J

persecuting lands."
Mrs. Abram Simon, of Washington,
who spoke on "Woman's Influence in i
the .Development of American Juda

of a hew religious attttnde of the j

"The problems w itch perplex us,"
she said, "have gone beyond mere sax
