Yeo, There's a Lot of Itl The New York "Times" published the other day an account of an inter view with his Excellency John Bon sano, Titular Archbishop of Mitilene and Apostolic Delegate to the United States. The Interviewer finally asked the apostolic delegate to tell some thing of his opinion of modern Ameri can literature as be had observed it during his stay of four yeara In this country. The learned father looked carefully down Madison Avenue for a moment and then gave his verdict: "Of moderu American literature, I would say that I am convinced that It is plentiful." It might well be added that one trouble with our present-day writing Is that very few of those busied there in can express themselves with the clearness, restraint, and force of bat sentence. Collier's. For bruises use Hanford's Balsam. Adv. - A Great Vooabulary. It waa the office of a great sporting newspaper, and the golf editor was taking a brief holiday. In his absence the inquiries from readers which the golfing man answered through his cor respondence column were handed to the racing editor, "which Is the better- course," wrote an ardent follower of the royal and ancient game, "to fuzzle one's putt or to fetter on the tee?" The turf man tilted back his chair and smoked five clgarets before taking his pen in hand. Then, when he had come to a decision on the weighty problem, he wrote as follows: "Should a player snaggle his Iron, It lo permissible for him to fuzzle his putt; but a better plan would be to drop his guppy Into the prlngle and snoodle it out with a niblick." Toron to Mail. Second Flyer, Disabled, Lands and Crew Made Prisoners Much Property Loss by Bombs. London Of the 12 big Zeppelins which invaded the British Isles Satur day night to deal death and destruction from the skies, two lay Sunday stark and black masses of steel and alumi num in the little village of Mangold, Essex county. One came down a flaming torch, while the second, disabled by gunfire, effected a landing, which saved the lives of the crew, who are now pris oners in England. The crew of the first raider died in the consuming flames of their own ship. The death and burning of the first Zeppelin was witnessed by tens of thousands of London residents, but the wounding and descent of the second raider was a matter of doubt until offi cial statements were given out. Few details are available of this second raider's condition, but it is reliably re ported that the crew surrendered to special constables. Many who saw the shrapnel bursting like skyrockets about the invader, which subsequently caught fire, think there must have been several direct hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and attacked the Zeppelins from all sides. The raiders took a heavy toll of lives before their destruction, 28 persons being killed and 99 wounded in the metropolitan district of London. Two persons were killed, probably four, and 17 wounded in the provinces. The property damage, while widely distributed, is confined for the most part to small dwellings and shops, Borne empty cars being destroyed and part of the tracks torn up. The roar of dropping bombs was heard in many districts where the raiderB were invisible. It iB not be lieved that more than two or three in vading Zeppelins which crossed the east coast succeeded in reaching the environs of London, and that two of these paid the death penalty gives the greatest satisfaction to the military authorities.

A gentleman who dined regularly at a certain restaurant often ordered a dozen clams. One day he counted them and found but 11. Still another day the dozen was one short.

All the passengers and crew landed safely. The vessel ran a mile after striking the snag before the crew knew that she was leaking. When the vessel was a short distance from the shore the water began pouring into the en- gineroom, but Captain Hiram Riddle was able to drive her on to the beach alongside the wharf at Byers' Landing before the water stopped the engines. There were only 25 passengers aboard and all stepped safely off the upper deck onto the wharf. Ten minutes after the vessel had been abandoned she turned over and now is lying submerged alongside the pier. $1,000,000 fire at Phoenix, N. Y. Syracuse, N, Y. Fire early Sunday destroyed the entire business district and more than half the industrial sec tion of the town of Phoenix, N. Y., 16 miles north of here, causing a loss of more than $1,000,000. One person is known to have perished. Eighty-two buildings were destroyed. The fire burned without check for 15 hours. Not a Btore was left standing, and the people are confronted with a serious problem of food supply. Looters in vaded the ruins, and scores of deputies were sworn in with orders to shoot.

The principal centers of action are the districts near Vladimir Volynski and west of Lutsk, the Halicz region and the Carpathians, and in each of these territories there has been a gen eral resumption of the fighting, which has spread to adjacent sectors until the whole southwestern war theater from the Pripet marshes to the Danube may be said to be again in action. London According to Athens dis patches received here, M. Venizelos will issue a manifesto to the Greek people from Canea, Island of Crete, where he probably will direct the formation of a separatist government. Besides Admiral Concuriotis, the dispatches add, those accompanying M. Venizeos include all the members of his former cabinet, with the exception of M. Raktavin, minister of justice. .The proclamation of M. Venizelos, it is said, will invite King Constantine to put himself at the head of a national defense movement. An Athens dispatch to the Daily Chronicle Bays the Venizelos proclam ation will provide the last opportunity for King Constantine to place himself and his government in line with the wishes of the majority of the week people, who do not want any declara tion of the dethronment of the monarch. The dispatch says Venizelos will call for a general mobilization throughout the Island of Crete for the purpose of national defense. Exports Make Record of Half Month for first Time Washington, D C. American ex ports have passed the half billion dol lar a month mark. Statistics issued Tuesday by the Department of Com merce show that goods sent abroad in August were valued at $510,000,000, a record not only for this country but for the world. The total is $35,000,000 above the previous high record, estab lished in May and $45,000,000 higher than the June figures. Imports decreased in AugUBt, the total of $199,247,391 being $47,000, 000 below that of June, the record month. It was greater, however, than the total for any previous August. Exports for the year ended with Au gust aggregated $4,750,000,000 and the imports $2,200,000,000, both to tals being far in advance of those for any similar priod. Of these August imports, 66.5 per cent entered free of duty, compared with 67.5 per cent in August a year ago. The Federal trade balance for An gust was $311,000,000, compared with $119,000,000 in August a year ago, and a balance of $19,000,000 in Au gust, 1914, against the United States, For the 12 months ended August 31 the export balance was $2,465,000, 000, as against $1,353,000,000 in the preceding year and $374,000,000 two years ago. The net inward gold movement for August was $29,000,000 and for the year $410,000,000, a record-breaker. Last year the net inward gold move ment was $146,000,000 and two years ago there was a net outward movement of $95,000,000. Gold imports in Au gust were $41,238,716, against $61, 641,191 in August, 1915, and $3,045, 219 in AugUBt, 1914. Germany Still Holds American Taken from Dutch Steamer Washington, D. C Official State department advices Tuesday report seizure of the Dutch steamer Prins Hendrik by German warships, but did not say on what charge Isador Polak, the naturalized American, removed from the vessel, was being held. The department is investigating further. Much significance is attached by offi cials to Germany's seizure of mail aboard the steamer. . Some time ago Germany claimed the right to censor letter mail on the basis that The Hague convention, declaring the ' in- voilability" of such mail had been rendered inoperative by failure of sev eral of the belligerent nations to rati fy it, but more recently the practice apparently had been discontinued. Auditor Closes Seattle Institution. Seattle The Equitable Savings, Loan & Investment association of Se attle was closed by the state auditor, who took charge of all records.
