TEN ZEPPELINS ID ENGLAND ONE DESTROYED RIGHTS CHINA Two Airships Attempt to Raid Lon . (Ion, One Is Winged, One Driven Off Other Eight Drift Aimlessly Over Interior, Dropping Botnbs, Mostly in Open Country, Without Damage. LONDON, Oct. 2. Ton y.oppelins took part in last night's mid over England. Two or them attempted to attack London. One was driven awav and the other was destroyed. An of ficial announcement of the raid fol lows: "Ten airships crossed the east coast last night between !t o'clock and mid night. One airship nproached the north of London at about 10 p. m.. but was driven off by gunfire and one pursued by aeroplanes. She attempt ed to return from the northwest tint was attacked by guns and .aeroplanes and brought to earth In flames near Potter's liar shortly before midnight. "A second airship attempted to at tack London front the northeast and was driven off. llombs were dropped. No reports of casualties or damage have yet been received. 'The remaining airships wandered aimlessly over the eastern countries. In Lincolnshire bombs were dropped promiscuously, most of thorn in open country without doing damage." Zeppelin Was Coming Count Zeppelin had intended to take part in the raid, says the Amster dam correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph company, but a message sei tin nt to Germany elicited the Informa- on that at the last moment, owing to the persuasion of his family, he decided not to join the raiders. -BXcept Tor'- pa. i of the envelope there is hardly left a vestige recog nizable as part of the lingo airship which was brought down last night near Potter's liar. The Zeppelin burned more fiercely than the one previously destroyed, which like her, fortunately fell in an open field. J he members of the crow were in cinerated and the bodies scattered over the field on which the airship alighted some eighty yards from farmer's cottage. Story of Destinction The Zeppelin appeared to remain almost stationary in the air for three minutes nfter the envelope burst into flames. The tongues of fire seemed to lick along the bag until it was all ablaze. Even then it dropped so slowly than many persons who had not awakened until the cheering aroused them were able to reach their windows in time to see It fall. Neither the airship which was de stroyed nor the second one which at tacked London succeeded in penotrat ting the outer defenses of the capi tal. Little or no damage was done bv either of them or by the eight others wiiioh operated over eastern counties. One person was killed anil one in jured in the raid The material dam age was small. "Police reports rhown that the to tal casualties in last night's raid were one man killed and one man in jured," says an official announcement , . , ,, , made public this afternoon The material damage was Insignificant, although the raiders covered a wide area and dropped a number of bombs. Four houses were seriously damaged. Some glass houses were demolished and a number of windows were brok en." T LOST! nitANCII. o,. .

MEDFORD A AN DES RES CONSOLIDATE Polire Rights in Manchuria and Mon golia Sought Latest Move Caused by Disorders Japanese Appointed to Posts of Importance Spread of Friendly Influence Claimed. TOKIO, Sept. 12. (ColTOspond- ence id' the Associated Pros-).- in connection with the pending negotia tions over the Chintmi incident, the impression exists in diluuiutii' cir cles here that Japan merely desires at this time to consolidate the posi tion and influence she has already obtained in China. This would take tiie form of certain police rights in southern Mnnchuria and eastern Mongolia, which Japan regards as special Japanese zones of influence. It might also include the right to se cure the appointment of Japanese ad visers for these districts. A treaty concerning' south Man churia anil eastern inner Mongolia was .signed at Peking iu May, 101"), following- an ultimatum liy Japan to I'iima. Japanese Kicjits litis convention save to Japanese suh.jccts the rights to lease land and erect buildings in south Manchuria necessary for commercial, indiistrinl and agricultural pursuits as well a the liberty to enter, travel and rcsid in that ihst ru t. It granted the rijrlit lor subjects ol Japan and ( lima to jointly carry on agricultural and in duslrinl undertakings in eastern in ner Mongnlia. Also, China agreed lo open as early as possible suitable cit ies and towns in eastern inner Mon golm lor the residence and trade of foreigners. Japan gives as reasons for lie move the insecurity of life and pro orly caused by collisions between Chinese troops and Mongolian ban dits, as was evidenced nl Chengr-Chin- tun, when seventeen Japanese sol diers and an officer were killed or wounded. It is evident that the Japanese do not consider thai the police right would involve a change in the status quo in China. Loan Seems Probable It is believed here that the far easf will take on added importance after the war and it is thought likely that among other lliin.es Circa t Flritain will greatly augment her fleet in Oriental waters. A loan by Japan in conjunction with the entente allies seems prob able. It is reported here that Kinichi Knwakanii, a well-known financier, will he appointed financial adviser to the Chinese government upon the ap pointment of Huron lliehi to Pckin. Of even greater imporlaneo, ac. cording- to tiie Japanese, is the recent appointment nf fleneral Nohuzuini Aoki, of the Japanese army, to the post of military adviser lo the Chin ese government. All thc-e develop ments are interpreted as steps by Ja pan towards the spread of her friend ly influence in China, which, necord- r lo Japanese doctrine, should con tinue until it becomes predominant as nmpiired with that nf other power-.

The acceptance sp , f President Wilson is now before the country, having been awaited with intense in terest by politicul friends and polit ical opponents and by all clns.se.-; of citizens. It also was expected to be, as it is, a masterly and appealing statement of those claims. In thai re- pect the reality probably exceeds ex- poi'lnlion. The president has so informed, in spired anil guided his party during- his official lerni that the administration ami himself are practically one nnd I lie same.
