from England and France."
RUMANIA Willi ALLIES,
CZAR'S MINISTER INSISTS
Tenton Campaign Without
Says SazanoiT
Effect,
LONT50N. Jan. 31.
Belief la expressed both In Berlin and
Petrograd that tho next development of
high political Importance In the course
of tho war will probably occur In Ru
mania. Germans, In regarding tho Balkan sit
uation, pin their faith upon tho effect of
tho Teutonic and Bulgarian conquest of
Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. On the
othor hand, Sergius Sazonoff, the Hus
sion Foreign Minister, In an Interview
given out In Pctrograd, said that tho at
titude of Rumania, as well as that of
Sweden, Is entirely satisfactory to Russia.
That thero has been improvement In
the relations between Rumania and the
Entente Powers Is evident. The pro-Ger-rauu
In Rhmanla nro continuing their
propaganda, but their progress Is about
at a standstill.
Thero wero Indications that Russia and
England bavo pledged themselves to help
Rumania in tho way of money and ag
grandizement after the war.
Sergius Sazonoff, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, received u. deputation of journal
ists, to whom ho gave a general review of
tho Balkan situation. His most Interest
ing remarks concerned Rumania, whose
relations with Russia, he said, remain per
fectly satisfactory and amicable. He ad
mitted that some time ago the attitudo
of Rumania was uncertain, owing to her
fear of hostile acts on the part of the
Central Powers, but that he wnH now con
vinced Rumania woutd not fall Into a
German trap.
"I repeat that the Austro-Gcrmans
persist In their Rumanian campuign, but
It la not producing tho effect desired on
practical Rumanians,' said M. Sazonoff.
He added that the whole Balkan situation
would find Its solution only after the war
had ended."
Speaking of the Improved relations be
tween Russia and Sweden. M. Sazonoff
said:
"It Is evident that In Sweden, as else
where, there has been a Chauvinistic
movement. It Is possible that Sweden
may feel the need of taking measures for
the defense of her frontiers, but we can
declare categorically that she will not
have to defend them against Russia and
that this side of her frontiers Is perfectly
secure."
German political writers, with charac
teristic caution, are declaring that "the
Rumanian situation will bear close watch
ing." It Is learned from an authentic sourco
that Rumania has been lacking In war
preparedness as the result of a peculiar
circumstance. Before the war broke out
the Rumanian Government decided to
equip the army with Krupp artillery. The
war prevented tho fulfilment of contracts
for ammunition, with the result that the
Rumanian military establishment could
not put its maximum strength la the ilcld.

ZEPPELIN RAIDS
PARIS AGAIN AND
ESCAPES SAFELY
Thirty-one Killed and
Twenty-nine Wounded
in First Attack
BOMBS MISSED TRAIN
l'Attltf, Jan. 31.
The Zeppelin which llcw over Paris last
night was pur"i?d by l-'reneli rteronlancs
until early today, but It succeeded In milk
lug Its escape.
Although bombs wore dropped from the
Zeppelin It was otttclatly announced today
that no damage had been done.
It Is learned that 31 men, women nnd
children were killed In Saturday night's
Zeppelin raid and 29 were wounded.
Three more deaths occurred today, bring
ing tho total death list up tn 31.
The following official statement was
given out through the Government Press
Ilurentl about the second raid:
"A Zeppelin flew In the direction of
Paris from the German lines last night.
It nrilved over the city nboul It o'clock,
where It was shelled by our special bat
teries nnd attacked by aeroplanes. It
threw bombs bifore reltylns northward,
but latest reports show that no damngo
was done."
That the loss of tiro In Saturday's raid
did not run Into an mormons total Is
miraculous. One of the projectiles thrown
from the dirigible wrecked part of the
subway Immediately after a crowded
train passed. If the train had been struck
hundreds would doubtless have been
killed.
President I'oinciire, who visited the
stricken district and spent three hours
giving such comfort as ho could tn the
families of victims, was deeply touched
by tlte scenes of denotation. 1 1 gave
a large personal gift for the relief of the
sufferers.
The Zeppelin was about 1500 feet above
tho city when the bombs wero thrown,
and the lire of the high-angle guiiH was
made less effective by fog which obscured
tho targets.
Hetwcen SO and .".0 aeroplanes ot the
biggest and swiftest types went aloft to
give battle to the Invaders, but only live
succeeded In getting close enough to
lire upon the big balloon.
The bombs that were dropped from the
Zeppelin wero charged with an explosive
of tcrrHIc power. Dig buildings were
smashed as though made of toothpicks
and holes 20 feet deep were torn Into tho
ground.
KSCAPKtf UNDAJfAGIOtl.
The attack centred upon the fringe of
tho most populous of the city's Industrial
belt. After It was over the Zeppelin
moved northward at top speed, Hying in
the direction of Laon. Ily the rays of the
searchlights the pursuing ncrophines could
be seen darting through the sky with t lit-
speed of swallows. However, the raider
got away undamaged.
In addition to the buildings that were
virtually turned Into piles of debris, prac
tically every structure suffered the loss of
Its windows, for the concussion from the
explosion of the bombs was terrlllc.
Firo followed the attack, but it was
controlled by tho tlremen before :t could
spread to any great extent. Afterwards
the firemen worked with the police nnd
soldiers In searching the ruins for dead.
Some of the corpses were so badly man
gled that identtllcntlon was Impossible.
There was more than one death Irom
shock. The chief operator at a branch
of the telephone exchange In a part of
tho city not touched by bombs died from
fright.
George llaut, a bedridden Invnlld. was
taken to the hospital, where It was found
he bore no wounds. However, he died
within two hours.
A family named f'rlchte lived on the top
floor of tho ill-fated tenement In which
10 persons were killed. A member of this
family, who was a private In the French
Zouaves, nnd just returned from the
front on a furlough, und he and his rela
tives wer.o celebrating. In the midst of
the celebrutlon a bomb crashed through
the roof, killing two women, two men
and a girl. One of the men killed wus
the Zouave.
Of those killed 15 were women, 13 were
men nnd four wero children. Two more
men died from shock making a total of 34.
Of the wounded 11 were women, 11 wero
men and four wore children.
The munlclual council lias decided to
bury all tho victims at the expense of the
city and to accord them full military
honors.
Tho Zeppelin came from the German
battle front north of the Alsne. News of
its approach first was signaled at 9:20
o'clock Saturday night. At that time It
was flying over La Ferte .Milon, 50 miles
away. Almost on the stroke of 10 the
first violent t-xploslon rang out and the
word was flashed Immediately that tho
attack had begun.
Afterwards It was charged that the
city otllclals had acted Inefficiently, wait
ing too long to sound tho alarm to the
people.
When tho pursuit began one French
aeroplane continued the chase for r.o min
utes, the aviator pumping lead from a
rapid fire gun until all his ammunition
was exhausted.
In order to confuse the Germans to
the actual locality damaged 'the censor
refused to allow the publication of the
numes of streets upon which the damaged
houses stand.
Uvery paper In this city Is clamoring
for a series of devastating air raids over
German territory In reprisal, it is as
sumed that the German raid over pans
was in answer to the attack upon Frei
burg by French aircraft.
The Zeppelin scare last night lasted an
hour and a half and It was nearly mid
night before bugles were sounded through
out the city as a token that the hostile
visitor had tied. Hundreds of thousand!,
of persons sought safety in cellars, somo
not venturing out until dawn.

WAR TO LAST 5 YEARS,
SAYS MME. DE THEBES
French Seeress Prophesies 'Ger
mans Will Become
Slaves of Earth'
PARIS, Jnn. 31. -Madame de Thebes,
the seeress, doesn't know whether Presi
dent Wilson will bo re-clecleil or not, re
marking that "the stars are dim and
there are sable spots In tho heavens,"
and she can't toll whether tho spots nre
Roosevelt or tirynn. Hut she does know
how long the F.uropcan war Is going to
last. Her specialty Is wars.
On December 20, in::, she predicted that
France would he at war the following
year, and as this came tn pass she gained
greater fume than some minor prophecies
had already brought ner. Some of the
best minds In France are pild io have
gone In the "private entrance for States
men" at her mansion, for If there were
reully a prophet In Paris. It would not bo
truly patriotic to Ignore the fact. Until
yesterday she had not made herself plain
on the question of the duration of tho
present war.
Then she came out with the nredletlnn
that It would last five years longer, and
that after that "peaceful calm" would
not bo found in Kuropo for 12 years at
least.
Madame de Thebes sees great clouds
between France and victory. Being un
der the direct domination of the cv
clo of Mars (God of War), we must suf
fer under this domination all the 33 years
the cycle has to run.
"The Germans will become the slaves
of the earth." said .Madame Thebes. "The
Kniser's dn.vs are numbered."
"The tdoodlest of the Hohenzollerns will
die cither by his own hand or oy that of
one of his subjects."
The famous prophecy, which made
Madame do Thebes world-famous, was
as follows:
"Franco will be drawn Into war and
emerge victorious. An era of love, peace,
great hopes and great labors will date
from 1914. nut first tho waves must bo
tinted with blood and water and lire, nnd
mix lu a combat of subterranean forces."

"We have nil the things necessary for
