PARIS, Jan. 11. Paris today Is -trembling
for fear of a German air raid.
Warnings already have been Issued, fol
lowing another attack on Dunkirk, In
which five persons were killed nnd much
damage done. The raid Is expected to
night. . Following reports received, Minister of
Wp MIHerand held a-' conference with
.derie.ra' Galjlci'jl, at which precautionary
plans were;- considered.

wear Dunkirk .early today a German
aviator dropped a bomb upon Malo-Les-Balns,'
killing five civilians and wound
ing Beveral.
This follows a concerted raid Sunday,
wnon, it is reported, IT persons were-
killed and much damage was- done.
Reports received here say that 16 Ger
man aeroplanes attempted to cross the
English channel yesterday morning, but'
found weather conditions unsulted for an
invasion of England nnd turned back
toward Dunkirk. They were sighted from
tho coast of Kent and were high in the
air.
Tills probably accounts for tho terror
spread along the English coast on tho re
ported movement ot a Zeppelin toward
Kngland.
Thirty bombs were thrown by the nlr
men, but owing to the precautions that
had beon taken there vero fow victims.
Tho material damage was unimportant
The reason for the persistent dropping
of bombs from German aircraft on Dun
kirk Is not far to seek.
Dunkirk hns been the British headquar
ters on tho Continent since October 20,
but the Germans discovered the fact only
recently. Since their discovery they have
devo.ted marked attention to the city,
kllllntr several persons with bombs.
A German biplane flew over Dunkirk
on October IE and dropped two bombs,
One of them fell In the sea. The other,
although it fell on shore, caused no dam
age. Despatches, from Copenhagen under
date of October 27 said that the Kaiser,
In ordering the taking of Calais, had de
clared that Dunkirk, too. must be cap
tured. On November 18 a German neroplano
dropped two bombs near the town hall
at Casscl, near Dunkirk, and killed a
woman and a child. A fleet of four Ger
man aeroplanes raided Dunkirk on De
cember 30. Hying several times across the
pity, killing IS persons. Including one
woman, and wounding 32.
Another attempt was made by a Ger
man all fleet to reach Dunkirk on Janu
ary 7, but French batteries drove the
aeroplanes back before they had reached
the city.

German General Predicts

, United Nation Will
Fight to rind.
By ANSELL WALLACE
(Cobvrlght, ists, liu the Iiftertiatlmal J'etc
' Bcrvlce),
BERLIN, Jnn. 11.
"I11 this war not only Germany's exist
ence, butalso European civilization, Is at
stake.
"This war means to England nothing
but the extermination of our shipping,
commerce and Industry. Sho simply
wants our trade for herself. Her pretext
Is to free tho people of Europe from tho
so-called 'German militarism.'
"The Husslnn armies have been beaten.
They disappointed utterly the hopes of
their western allies."
These striking statements were made
to me by aeneral Helmutli Johannes Lud
wlg von Moltke, Chief of the dermnn
Oenerar.Staff, In the first Interview that
he. has granted to any representative of
the press since the war began.
General von Holtke has been reported
to have beon deposed as Chief of Stnff.
General von Moltke was on temporary
sick leave here. Shortly after my arrival
In Berlin the head of the greatest mili
tary organization the world' has ever seen
Consented to an Interview. This, how
ever, had to be postponed because of the
general's illness, lie received me with
cordiality in his private apartment In the
General Staff Building. One is imme
diately impressed by the tall, Imposing
ngure nnq ciear. snappy eyes of the gen
eral, and one becomes conscious' In his
presence of being surrounded by an at
mosphere, definitely powerful,'
Tho general asked mo If I had already
been at tho front. 1 "When I saltf. "No,"
4ie expressed the hope that I should have
the opportunity to see the troops In action
and got a personal impression' of the
splendid pplrtt "Which, in spite, of -losses
and privations, animates .every man )n
the field today Just as much as on the
first day ot the war.
WHOLE NATION UNITED.
"Our troops." he said, "reflect the very
same Incomparably brave and self,
sacrificing attitude of the whole nation,
which, stands like a huge united mass be
hind 'her sons in the Hold.)'
Passing to the general .situation of the
war. Generat von Moltke said:
"This war. In whloh Germany and Aus-
trlA.Tfun'&rv. h&r faithful nllv nn il&h...

and Asia, means to .rcngiand nothing but

'DEYIL ON RUN,'
SAYS SUMY
AFTER BIG DAY
Evangelist Leaves ToWn for
Day to. Rest After 1140
Hit the Trail at Spectacu
lar Services.
Jo was happy this morning. Never In
history had "Billy" Sunday exper-
tccd such a day ns yesterday. Never
irlng tho many years, ho haB been cn-
r;ed .In evnngellcal work has ho had
many converts In a single dajv Never
id ho been privileged to shako the
.mils of 1140 men nhd women he had
urned from wrong to right In six hours.
It wns a restless night he bntl, and
"Ala" Sunday was much disturbed about
"Billy's" welfaroiwhcn he arose this
morning. But, although he was tired
and had had but little sleep, he could not
bo "restrained from expressing his Joy.
"We certnlnly hnd tho devil on the run
last night," declared Sunday at his home,
at 19H Spring Garden street, this morn
ing, "If ha hns many more wallops hand
ed him like ho received yesterday after
noon and evening he'll havo to got a now
hide. Tho flaying ho got yesterday, how
ever, wasn't one, two, three to what he'B
going to gotbeforo we are through with
him In 1'hllndclphla. I have felt mora
confidant that tho forces of the devil In
this city are taking the road to the wall."
Today Mrs. Sundny Is trying to hide
"Billy" so that he can get some rest
after his stronuous work of yesterday.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning she had or
dered their car, and shortly afterward
they were -whirling out throtlgh tho coun
try. Sho would not say whero they were
going, for sho declared It was to give her
husband a rest that she was taking him
out Into tho hills.
No person nt tho house knows whero
j they havo gone. But It Is believed they
may be out with John Wanamnkcr at hla
Jcnktntown home, or Hint they nro nt
Atlantic City. Mrs. Sundny Bald they
j would not return until 7 o'clock tonight.
"The hand of God certainly manifested
Itself yesterday," said Mr. Sundny today.
1 "Scores who hnd wandered from His path
returneu to tne toui. 1 am most happy
because so many did return. Tho Holy
Spirit has manifested Itself, and folks
who had turned from God have nt last
heard His call. I know that those men
and women who hit the trail, nwakoncd
this morning with their souls free from
evil, their hearts made light by the
thought thnt tho devil and tho booze ring
nhd all the' dirty forces of evil no longer
will dra"g them from the glorious path to
heavc'ni""
Philadelphia hns neVcr witnessed such
scenes, as. those enactcd.ln.tho.tabernt.clo.
yesterday, when tho evangelist mnde his
first appeal for converts; "The hour Is
cornel" called "Billy"; and In a rush
converts answered that call:
Down the eight brood snwdu'st aisles
men and women, old nnd young, rich and
poor, some smiling and some, crying,
some singing and some cheering, mnrched
to th.e front of tho big building' nnd
grasped the hand of "Billy" Sunday. As
though forgetting every person about
them, all shamo turned into gladness, they
came forward nnd vowed to start a new
life and to bo workers In tho Master's
vineyard here below.
And more than E00 feet above the grey
walls of tho City Hall old William Penn
In Image of bronze must have turned
his eyes to the westward as he heard that
mighty throng cheer for glory, and have
smiled peacefully in anticipation ot a
redeemed cltyl
"THE HOUIt IS COME."
It wns the same sermon that won the
converts at the afternoon and evening
meetings. At the former KO filled tho
trails nnd marched forward to become
soldiers of God, and In the evenhg there
were tSO of them. "The Hour Is'Come!"
