German Gunfire Brings One of the
Raiders, a British Naval Officer, to
fhe Ground—Several Persons Killed
in the Raid
Geneva. Via Paris, Nov. 24, 12.40
'A. M.—Details of the aeroplane raid
on Friedrichshafen have been received
here from Komansliorn, a Swiss town
eleven miles from Constance. From
this account it appears that two
French and two English a\ iator?, t>he
former mounted 011 monoplanes and the
latter on biplanes, arrived above Pried
riehshafen at i o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon, Hying at great speed and keep
ing at a great height. Suddenly two
of the machines planed down to about
•100 yards albove the city aud, amidst a
hail of shells and 'bullets from six
<|iiick-brers worked by the man of the
Bavarian regiment, circled about for
lialf an hour, during which t'hey threw
about ton bom'bs in the vicinity of the
Zeppelin shed. One of these bombs
struck home, destroying part of' the
shed and some machinery therein. It
is reported that one of the largest Zep
pelins, which was ready to be launched,
was badly damaged, but tie Germans
deny this.
The thousaud or more workmen em
ployed about the place were at dinner
when the raid occurred or the loss of
life would have been greater than it w as.
One house was destroyed by the bombs
nnd several persons were killed, includ
mg two soldiers.
The gunfire of the German soldiers
brought one of the aviators to earth
with his machine. He proved to be a
British naval officer. The three other
machines disappeared, but one of them,
supposed to be manned by the other
Englishman, is reported to have fallen
into the lake and the aviator was
drowned. Another report says the sec
ond machine was forced to land in
'Wurttemberg. In any event, only two
machines were seen later flying toward
Belfort, which is 125 miles in a direct
line from the Zeppelin establishment.
The raid is said to have caused much
anxiety in Friedrichshafen. The mim
lier of quick-firers has been doubled
nnd all foreigners, it is said, have been
expelled, as it is 'believed spies gin e
llie information that another Zeppelin
had been completed. The lake is being
searched for the aviator who has not
•been accounted for.
The British oftical report on the air
raid at Friedrichshafen. as announced
in the House of Commons yesterdav by
Winston Spencer Church ill. First Lord
of the Admiralty, declared that only
three aeroplanes, all manned by Eug
lishmen, took part in the raid. Mr.
Churchill announced that one of the
aeroplanes was brought down bv the
German gun fire and that the aviator,
Commander E. F. Briggs, of the naval
air service, was wounded and was fa
ken to a hospital a prisoner. The other
machines, with their aviators, returned
safely to French territory, he said.

HOW PARIS STYLES MAKE
MUCH HAIR FROM LITTLE
V'ou have noticed the prevailing
hair styles, which are Parisian, make
it impossible to use false hair be
cause of the simple lines which con
form to the natural shape of the
head. It therefore becomes neces
sary to make your own hair look as
heavy as possible. This is not a dif
ficult task if you are careful to keep
it perfectly clean. In washing the hair
if is not advisable to use a makeshift,
but always use a preparation made for
shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting a package
of canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonfui in a cup of hot
water and your shampoo is ready.
Alter its use the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it
is. Its lustre and softness will also
delight you, while fhe stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth. Adv.

ARMY OF CROWN PRINCE IS
CLOSE TO WARSAW WHEN
REPULSED BY RUSSIANS
London, Nov. 24, 2.20 A. M.—The
"Telegraph's" Petrograd correspon
dent intimates that the German Crown
Prince 's Army during the last live days
threatened Warsaw but was severely re
pulsed. The correspondent says, how
ever, that his forces arrived alarniiuglv
close to Warsaw before they were final
ly checked.
"At Plock," the correspondent con
tinues, "five German corps were op
posed by only two Russian corps which,
after putting up a desperate defense,
were compelled to retire. This left the
road to Warsaw open and the Germans
pushed ahead, staking all on arriving
at Warsaw before reinforcements could
be brought up, leaving their line of
communications to take care of itself.
*' rhe Russians made a stand on the
Bzura river, though the position was
not the most favorable. The Germans
were always iu superior numbers but a
number of Russian corps were moving
speedily against immense ujilicuities _u.f
truu*|»imalion toward the threatened'
quarter.
"But for the German skill in retire
ment they would be in a perilous posi
tion. They are in a long tongue of laud
between the Vistula and the Warta, de
pending entirely on these walls of wa
ter to defend their flanks. N T o com
manding general would take such
chances unless he knew that it was im
possible to smash through on his flank.
This is not impossible.* General Ken
neilkampl' is operating in the North."
AUSTRIA OFFICIALLY SAYS
NO OECISIONJN POLAND
London. Nov. 24, 4.04 A. M. — An
official statement i-stied by the Austrian
general staff is contained iu a telegram
from Vienna via Amsterdam to Reu
ter's Telegram Company. It says:
"In Russian Poland til) now there
is no decision. We continue our at
tacks east of Czenstochwa and north
east of Cracow. While occupying Pilica
(in Russian Poland, 33 miles northwest
of Cracow), our troops capture I 2,400
Russians. The firing of our heavy ar
tillery is of great effect.
'' The Russian troops which had
crossed the lower Dunajee were unable
to proceed further. The general situ
ation has brought it about that some
of the passes of the Carpathians were
temporarily left in the hands of the
enemy.
"On Friday a sortie from Przemvsl
threw back the Russians from the west
aud southwest point of the fortress.
The enemy is now out of range of our
cannon.''
BRITISH OCCUPY ISLAND
LONG LEASED BY GERMANY
London, Nov. 24.—The IslaiKl of
Herm, one of the Channel group two
and a. half miles oft' the coast of Guern
sey, which is less than one square mile
in area, has ben occupied by British
troops as a precaution against its pos
sible use <by Germany, gome time agii
a mild agitation was started on the
ground that the island was leased to
Prince Von Bluecher, a descendant of
the famous German commander at the
Battle of Waterloo. A wireless plant
was found there shortly after the out
break of the war and was destroyed.
Reginald McKenna, Home Secretary,
explained in the House of Commons
that a German company had leased the
island as far iback as 1889. This i-om
j any in turn leased it to Prince Von
Bluechor, who, although placing certain
restrictions, allowed some tourists to
laud. The island has been inspected,
Mr. McKenna said, and no evidence
was found of military preparations. The
authorities of Guernsey have been ask
ed to take steps to terminate the lease
of the German firm.
Kaiser's Son Recovering
Amsterdam (via London), Nov. 24. —
"Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son of
the German Emperor, who was injured
in a motor car accident, is improving,
but his complete recovery will take a
long time," says the Berlin correspon
dent of the "Telegraph." The corres
pondent adds that reports thai the
Crown Prince has been wounded are
unfounded.

anticipates a fresli German attempt to

Brussels immediately. His message
' continues:
"Strong positions have been estab

and necessary transportation arrange
-1 nients have been made.
