It sum: "Ah important part of an enemy airship was picked up ill the eastern counties. Tile ship undoubtedly suf fered severe damage from gun fire." King George today awarded the Victoria cross to Lieutenant William Leefe Hobinson of the royal flying corps for "conspicuous bravery" in bringing down u Zeppelin while the airship was approaching London on Saturday night.

He took his pilot's certificate, at Carnsborougli on his 2lth birthday and is considered the keenest young ster in his-squadron. Five months ago he said cpiictly he bad made up his mind to "do a Zeppelin." When the tilnnn that Zeppelins were ap proaching was given in London on f Saturday night Lieutenant Robinson immediately ascended in his aero plane. Several times the searchlights revealed his plane flying around in search of a Zeppelin. At last ill the darkness lie picked up an airship which n moment later stood out boldly in the glare, of several searchlights. Lieutenant Robinson made his nttuck at close range. The Zeppelin at tempted to elude him by sending out great (floods of smoke. It disappear ed in the clouds, but Robinson kept up the pursuit and soon saw the Zep pelin burst into flames. The lieutenant flew away safely, and descending to n lower level sig nalled that he had accomplished his task. Within ten minutes he was down and was telephoning his report to headquarters. Vroposo Militai-y Funeral. The proposal that the crew of the destroyed (lernian airship bo given a military funeral in England bus aroused some opposition. The Even ing: Mar says: , "It is nnfortiiniile (hut the Dritisb official mind is so utterly out of touch with the public mind. It is per haps not too late to reconsider this cgregoiious official blunder and to give these baby killers n plain, de cent funeral such as would be given, say, to an English workingmnn who after a long life in honest industry, unfortunately dies in the work house." WITH THE 1!I!ITISH ARMIES IN KRANCE, Sept. ", via London, Sept. 5. Despite their determined eouuter-attacks yesterday when the advanced in waves, shoulder t shoulder, in defense of (his chose strategic! point, the Germans hud to yield I'ulfcitiont farm this morning. The British had closed around it in the darkness and duwu found the stir vivors of the garrison raked with much gun fire. In a hopeless situ n t i on , plastered with mud after night of cold and heavy rain, and having gone two days without sleep, they put up the white flag. Meanwhile the British battalion finding little opposition, on its own initiative, pressed on through the mud and the shell craters and gamed til edgo of Lciizc wood, which curried them past Ginehy, where the Germans are fortified amid the ruins with nests of machine gnus. The British gain since Saturday is more than a mile in depth. Irish troons of the new army cnliste through the efforts of John Redmond and other nationalist leaders, distin guished themselves by tnking Guille mont. they rounded up numerous. prisoners in dugouts and swept for- ward toward their objective Svith characteristic dash. As n result of twq days' work, the British, in case they decide to make no further ndvnnce this year, com maud all the ridge of buttle front from Thiepval. south, except around Ginchv. This means, as one. British officer suid, that the "Germans would have to dance to our tune through the winter." 11 STATES EXPLORER NEW , YORK, Sept. 5. Ensign Mtzhugh Green, U. S. N., who accom panied IHinulil B. McMillan in !13 on his expedition in search of "Crocker land," reached here today on the Danish steamship United States froift Copenhagen.

Peary, according to Green, claimed to have made his observations about !i0 miles from the Greenland coast.

This belief was further confirmed, Green said, by the fact that they themselves saw mirages. ELEVATED STRIKE NEW YOKK, Sept. b. Major John P.

How America's largest cigarette manufacturer has accomplished "the Impossible' by productng a MILD cigarette thai SATISFIES. It is -the Chesterfield Cigarette : ALMOST anybody can make a cup of coffee. But there are JL JL said to be not over a. half-dozen restaurants in the United States where they know how to make it rigit. Similarly, almost anyone can make a cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco in a piece of pure paper and there you are. There are, perhaps, over 800 brands of cigarettes sold in this country to day. But not one of them docs what Chesterfields do for Chesterfields arc MILD; and yet they SATISFY. ' Some cigarettes may be mild, but they don't satisfy. Only one cigarette does BOTH Chesterfield ! This truly unique cigarette has all of that refreshing taste - delicacy (or mildness) which any good cigarette must have. Yet, without sacrificing any of this delightful mildness. Ches terfields go one step further : they do more than merely "please your taste" they let you know you've been smoking. They satisfy! .-.And yet they're mild! A Step Forbuard in Cigarette-Makjng WE are proud to be the firm that has brought about this important new development in cigarette enjoy ment for that is exactly what the Chesterfield blcndis. This cigarette Is an outgrowth of long, earnest effort on the part of this, the largest cigarette manufacturing concern in the United States. The mild, yet satisfying! Chester field blend is not the result of happy chance. It is one of the results of our many years of cigarette experience of the heavy volume of our purchases of cigarette tobacco of the prestige and advantage these enormous pur chases give us in securing the choicest leaf from the tobacco fields of the world. Chesterfields are an achievement. A fictxt Thing J-or a Cigarette to Do Trie OieiterfielrJ Blend contHint ih most fmom Turkish tobeccoe SAMSOUN lor richnrss CAVALI.A tor nramt SMYRNA for twetness.

Give Chesterfields (20 for 10 cents) a trial. We believe you will be glad to learn what they can leach you about cigarette enjoyment. You have been reading here some rather unusual, almost daring, state- ments about a cigarette. If Chester fields were an untried cigarette if we had not been observing their behavioi in other cities if we did not KNOW that they make good with smokers, we could not afford to make these state ments to you over our signature. But these statements, strong as they are, can mean little or nothing to you until you have actually smoked your first Chesterfield. .
