MAKE AERIAL RAID
ON FRENCH CAPITAL
French Air Flotilla Defeats Invading Squadron In
Midair Beyond Outskirts of Paris and One
German Vessel Is Shot to Pieces
Paris, August 28-—(4 p. m.)—Four Ger
man military aeroplanes attempted to
make a raid on Paris this morning. They
were attacked by a French air flotilla be
yohd the outskirts and one of the Ger
man flying machines was shot t<» pieces
in midair.
The German machines crossed the
French lines flying at a great height and
driving toward the city of Paris. When
over a point to the north of the capita1
they sighted a French air flotilla coming
and three of the German aeroplanes
wheeled about and headed for the Ger
man lines.
Two of the German machines escaped
but the third was outdistanced by pur
suing French airmen and'riddled by bul
lets. It fell flaming into the forest of
Halatte, where the burned bodies of two
aviators were found.
The fourth machine dropped several
I bombs at Montmorency, a town 15 miles
from Paris. No one was hurt. The bat
teries'at Montmorency opened fire on
the cages of the aeroplanes but these

Tourist Girl Spends
“Evening at Braeewood”
The Tourist Girl Attractions company
of motion picture players spent "an even
ing at Braeewood" yesterday afternoon
on Shades mountain, where pictures of
the tourist girl and her friends were
made while they enjoyed an informal
evening dance. "Sun-kissed" evening
clothes formed the costumes for the oc
casion. and while Director Siple experi
enced untold agony in attempting to get
his players in the right positions, some
really beautiful. scenes, with Braeewood
as a background, were filmed.
The party arrived at Braeewood via
automobile about 3 o’clock and spent
about two hours in and about the grounds
overlooking beautiful Shades valley. Miss
Cora Cregg. in tlie leading role of the
play, was at her best and completely
forgot the camera-man when she was
"up stage."

cational department this afternoon that

posed of Governor Henderson, Super
intendent of Education William F. Fee -
gin and Auditor M. C. Allgood, made a
v’sit to Washington county sever U
months ago for the purpose of inspect
ing sites offered by various towns of

GERMAN EMPEROR
CONFERS WITH VON
TIRPITZ REGARDING
ARABIC INCIDENT
(Continued from Pnge One)
triumphed, and that every effort will
be made to meet the views of President
Wilson as expressed to the ambassador
In an Interview soon after the Lusi
tania was destroyed. The German for
eign office is believed to be ready to
encourage an informal exchange of
views between Count Bernstorff and
Secretary Lansing so the drafting of a
full reply to the last American note on
the Lusitania, satisfactory to Wash
ington, may be hastened.
Developments Reassuring
Tt was stated positively today that
whatever the German admiralty report
may be in the Arabic case, the Berlin
government will give assurances that
its submarine commanders had received
explicit instructions that no passenger
ships he attacked without warning.
This was in accordance with sugges
tions of Count Bernstorff, sent imme
diately after his interview with Presi
dent Wilson. Even should the sub
marine commander attempt to justify
bis action, it is believed tlie German
government will seek to make it clear
that as a national policy the warfare
against passenger ships has been sus
pended. Already offers of reparation
for American lives lost with the ship
have been made informally, and Am
bassador Bernstorff feels that barring
adjustment of minor details, the fric
tion between the two countries is .»r
an end.
Out of the relaxing tension of the
situation a new hope for peace in Eu
rope lias sprung. German obse* vers
here have noted that there is a group
in each country which sees possibilities
of American mediation behind the peace
ful adjustment of the American-German
dispute. With one concession won from
the belligerents by diplomatic means
—the security of the lives of neutrals
on thhigh seas—it is thought pos
sible other proposals may follow with
ultimate restoration of peace as their
object. The ascendency of the liberal
element in Germany, it is said, lends
color ti» that view so far as Germany
is concerned.

thorizing such a move would he made
at a muss meeting to be held here tomor
row. The council authorized the Chicago
workers to demand a 48-hour week and
higher wages, and refusal of the manu
facturers to comply, it was said, would
mean calling of the strike effective with
in six weeks, at the beginning of the busy
season.
New York Is not on the list of cities
which would be affected immediately. The
report of a committee calling for arbitra- I
tion of differences existing there was I

TAFT PLEADS FOR
RED CROSS CAUSE
San Francisco. August 28.—William
Howard Taft, pleaded the cause of the
American Red Cross in an address today
at Red Cross Day at the Panama-Pacific
exposition. He urged a membership of
millions, more funds, and neutrality in
giving. He praised Americans for their
ready response to calls for relief funds
when the European war began, but depre
cated the fact that two-thirds of the
funds given were disbursed by relief
bodies, organized on the spur of the
moment, while the Red Cross stood reudy
with a trained organization to do the
work.
Mr. Taft said he did not undervalue
“the sweets of publicity and popular ap
plause.” in promoting good work, but he
thought the desire of donors for publicity
was harmful when it led to a division of
forces and an increase of unnecessary
exnense. He if counted the work of the
Red Cross in the present war and its
distribution in money, supplies and paid
expert service of $2,000,000.
“More funds,” he said, “should he
urged, but our people are not as active
In giving as they were.”
He praised the work of Miss Mabel T.
Bo&rdman.

GERMANS DENY LOSS
OF FIFTY SUBMARINES
Statements by British Admiralty
Characterized as False in
Berlin Report
Berlin. August 28.—(Via London, August
29, 12:05 a. m.)—German naval officers
say the statement made in an American
publication that Germany has lost 50 sub
marines is ridiculous, as also Is the state
ment credited to British sources, placing
the number at 38. The naval men do not
deny that the British had successes
against the submarines, but say they
have been nothing like such figures,
i Several successes announced by the
British admiralty are declared as un
rounded. For example, the admiralty
today stated that the British report of
destruction of German submarine off the
Belgian coast by a bomb thrown by an
aviator is untrue. Upon receipt of the
announcement that the submarine had
been lost, the admiralty queried a coast
station by telephone, and received the re
port of the commander of the submarine
in question. It was stated that the avia- \
tor did drop a bomb, but the submarine -
was untouched and got away from the
aeroplane by diving.
