TO CONQUER EUROPE,
REDFIELD DECLARES
Tells Political and Social
Academy We Compensate
in Alertness for What
We Lack of Organiza
tion. Mental alertness and a peculiar me
chanical aptitude, combined with great
inventive capacity, are American traits
that will offset tho organization and sci
entific application of European nations
In tho fight for the world's commerce,
United States Secretary of Commerce
Jtedtleld declared at the second sitting of
file 10th annual meeting of the Ameri
can Academy of Political and Social
Science, held at the Walton this after
noon. Theodore Marburg, former Min
ister from the United States to Belgium,
presided. Albert 1. Hopkins, president
of tho Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company, and AV, 8. Kles, of
the foreign trade department of the
National City Bank, New York, were
ether speakers.
Reviewing the situation among the
three great competitors for International
trade, Great Britain, Germany and the
United States, prior to the outbreak of
the war In Europe, Secretary Itedfleld
said that, lacking the organization, trained
men, Investments abroad and financial
institutions In foreign fields, it would
seem almost Impossible for the United
States to enter the market of open com
petition with her mora fortunate rivals.
"This conclusion, however," said the.
Secretary, "would leave out certain ele
ments In the American character quite
as effective In their way as the means
used by our competitors. If we lack a
highly orsanlred commerce we replace It
In a measure with a highly Individualized
commerce. We are not bound by prece
dent or tradition. To see a thing done
awakens the desire In us to do lit better.
If we shall ever adq to these qualities the
scientific outlook and the financial pow.
er which our two great competitors have
had we shall go far Indeed."
Disclaiming the purpose to discuss the
relative cost of production In this country
and in others. Secretary Itedfleld said that
It would not be denied that n many Hues
of activity the- United States produces the
desired result at a lower cost than other
n"Itnwi not be denied that railroad
wages are higher In America, than those
of industrial countries of Europe, though
In many respects our equipment Is more
costly." he continued. "Neither will any
one deny that American freight rates are
lower than those in Europe.
"American vessels are also operating

structed on the east bank of the Dubassl

Firemen extinguished the blaze after
damage estimated at 11500 had been done.
There was no one In the house at the

Seven-year-old Jacob Flommerhoft Is
small, but he proved himself a hero In an
early morning fire at his home, 1737 South

far became excited and a serious panic
threatened.
People get excited at a fire, ho thought,
when smoko awakened him in his room
on the second floor at 3 o'clock. Ilia
mind worked quickly as ho slipped on a
few clothes.
Ilunnlng upstairs, he aroused John Jon
kofsky, his wlfo and two daughters, Hose,
18 years old, and Mary, 20.
"There la a lire on your floor," ho said
calmly. "Thero Is plenty of time,"
Then ho ran downstairs nnd awakened
Benjamin Gondelorf and his wife, who
snatched up their 9-month-old son Leon
ard and escaped to safety. By this time
Jacob's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Jlarry Flommerhoft, had been aroused,
and, Joined by the Gandcloft family, they
hurried to the street.
Tho fire, of unknown origin, played
havoc with tho third floor of tho build
ing, causing 12000 damage before it was
extinguished.
After he had finished watching tho fire

BOOZE ENTIRELY MISSING
FROM ALONG MAIN LINE
Not Fault of Option or Prohibition,
for He's a Dog.
Booze has entirely disappeared from
Haverford and other places along the
Main Line, and there Is much dismay.
Many of tho residents said today that the
places will now go to the dogs. Behind
the disappearance of Booze there Is a
tale; two tales In fact, although It Is
generally admitted that tho prohibition
ists have nothing to do with It.
Local optlonlsts also assert they were
not concerned with the withdrawal of
Booze, but those who are interested In
the matter found that Booze could not be
found In Bryn Mawr. Rosemont, Berwyn,
Wayne or any other place. If thirsty per
sons know here to go, however, they
cart get all they want.
Howard Longstreth, of Haverford, Is
especially Interested In finding Booze, for
you see that's the name of his dog. Booze
Is a French brlndle bull, chunky and fat,
with a Btumpy tall. He Is In the habit of
going away on a little trip, but the last
time he went he took Jelf, a bird dog,
with him. The habits of Booze evidently
did not meet with the approval of Jeff,
for he came back very mournfully. It
is believed that the animals quarreled.
It's not the first time that the dogs
went off on a JaUnt, They have gone off
on quiet trips many a time, and always
stayed together until the finish.
If Booso returns he will be forgiven
and no questions asked. In fact, his mas
ter has offered a liberal reward for his
return.

No Loss of Life Reported, But
Narrow Escapes Are Numer
ous Ninth Invasion by Ger
man Aircraft Since Big Con
flict Began.
LONDON, April 30.
Destruction of a number of buildings
and damage to others was the sum total
of damage done by the Germans In their
latest aerial raid over England early to
day. Tills raid, the ninth since the war
began, caused no loss of life. As In
the case of all previous visitations, no
attempt apparently was mado to do any
damage to fortified positions.
The German aircraft was aided by a
denso fog, which covered the coast last
night. At midnight it passed In from the
BATTLE ARRAY
moment now that a squadron of the
which is being constantly patrolled
sea at Felixstowe and proceeded on
Brookshall road, a residence section of
Ipswich. Five houses were destroyed
by flro there.
One of the bombs fell In the bedroom
occupied by Harry Goodwin, his Wife and
their daughter, 12 years old. The girl's
bed was set on fire, but the father res
cued her. Scores of people fled to the
streots In their night clothing. The thrnb
of the powerful engines of the aircraft
could distinctly be heard.
The Zeppelin then proceeded to Whlt
ton. where several bombs likewise were
dropped, but they fell in a field. Soon
after 1 o'clock It was sighted over Bury
St. Edmunds, where 12 bombs wete
dropped. Two were Incendiary and sot
flro to a stable and buildings in the vicin
ity of the Suffolk Hotel. St. Andrew's
Hall and other buildings nearby were de
stroyed. Some of tho bombs fell In the
residential section. One man rushed out
Into tho road and extinguished the fuse
of a bomb with a pail of water. The
Zeppelin finally disappeared In the direc
tion of the sea. British aeroplanes tried
to pursue the raider, but lost It In the
fog.
One of the clearest stories told was
by W. T. Easey, of 53 BrooKBhall road,
Ipswich, who said:
"I was awakened by a buzz, and al
most Immediately I heard an explosion.
All of the windows of my house were
shattered and the building set on fire,
I rushed into tho street, taking my wife
with me, I could see the airship above
tho city. I went back then and carried
out my young son. By that time the
entire building was on fire. The bomb
