the advances scored in their attack
Saturday near the Struma, boating off
Unitarian counter attacks and re
taining the two villages captured
along the road to Seres, according to
London today.
In the Italians
The forward movement along the
Struma synchronizes with a Serbian,
snccesH on the westerly Macedonian
front. The long continued struggle in
the Kaimakcaian district has resulted
iu the Serbians not only securing
possession of the principal heights in
the region southeast of Monair but
in an advance of more than a mile

Recent operations by the French
along the Somme front appear to have
been mostly in the nature of minor
attacks, probably preparatory to some
larger movement in the Peronne re
gion, v.iiile the Rritish main effort
lias been directed to the thrust toward
Ilapaume along the road from Po

of more than a mile and a half was
announced by London last night.

TEN ZEPPELINS

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.

and a number of windows were brok

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

official lerni that the administration
ami himself are practically one nnd
I lie same. Its work naturally di
vides itself into Iwo parts, one denl-
with domestic affairs' and the
oilier with foreign relations.
Mr. Wilson's Achievements
As regards the former, the pivsi
lent rightly calls attention to a mass
of constructive legislation which un
doubtedly is a sin-prise to the coun
try, both I iv its amount and bv the
variety of the subjects dealt with.
For Ihe long lisl of accomplishments
upon which Ihe ndminislrution may
justly pride itself, reference should
he had lo the speech ilsulf.
Hut it may be well to note in pass
r thai, beside the two great incus,
u res by which an archaic tariff has
been reformed and provision made for
reasonable laril'fs iu Ihe future, and
by wlitch a chaotic financial nnd cur
rency svslciu has been supplanted by
one inlapled lo the requirements of

moiln.r the agi icuitural interests of

for a labor bureau to consider the
