LATEST RAID ON BRITISH CAPI
TAL ENDS IN DIS-
ASTER.
CREW IS BORNEO TO DEATH
Invaders Caused Twenty-Eight Deaths
In the City.—Thirty-Four
Aeroplanes Destroyed
In Two Days.
London.—Of the twelve big Zeppe
Una which invaded the British Isles
to deal death and destruction from
the skies, two lie stark and black
masses of steel and aluminum in the
little village of Mangold, Essex coun-
ty, the victims of the anti-aircrafl
defenses of London and outlying dis-
tricts.
One came down a flaming torch, as
did the Zeppelin L-21, destroyed three
weeks ago. while the second, disabled
by gun fire; effected a landing which
saved the lives of the crew, who are
prisoners in England. The crew of
the first raider died in the consuming
flames of their own ship, but they
were not so terribly charred as their
predecessors,
This latest raider to light her own
funeral way on English soil collapsed
and was consumed much more quickly
than the L-21. It is possible, though,
that some of the men were still living
wbea the great vessel struck the
ground. The captain's body was
found some distance from the wrelk
The burning of the first Zeppelin
was witnessed hy ten of thousands of
London residents.
Thirty Persons Killed.
The raiders took a heavy toll of
lives before their destruction, twenty-
eight persons being killed and ninety
nine wounded In the metropolitan dis-
trict of London. Two persons were
killed, two others are believed dead
and seventeen were wounded In the
provinces. |
The property damage while widely ;
distributed, is confined for the most
parts to small suburban dwellings and
shops, although one railway station
was damaged, some empty cars being
destroyed and part of the tracks torn
up.
The roar of dropping bombs was
heard In many districts where the
raiders were invisible It Is not be
lleved that more than two or three
invading Zeppelins which crossed the
wo raids, It is believed, will have
depressing effect on the morale ol
the Zeppelin crews In the future.
Thirty-Three Aeroplanes Lost,
Official statements from the various
war capitals indicate that nearly fifty
aeroplanes engaged in duty at the
front were brought to earth and the
majority destroyed in two days, Sat
urday and Sunday. Probably the most
violent fighting of the war partici-
pated in by aerial craft took place
these two days on the Comme front.
Paris reports that French airmen
have accounted for twenty-six German
aeroplanes while Berlin records the
bringing down of twenty-four entente
(allied machines, twenty of them on
the Somme front. Five German ma-
chines were destroyed by the British
and two others driven down damaged
while five British machines are miss-
ing. Berlin admits the loss of six
machines.
The aerial ftght In which Sergeant
Klffen Rockwell of Atlanta, Ga„ was
wortally wounded by a German took
place over the town of Thann. The
body of the American aviator fell in
reconquered territory In Alsace, near
the spot where Rockwell shot down
his first adversary five months ago.
Rockwell was serving as a volunteer
In the Franco-American flying corps
on the Verdun front. A few hours
previous to the engagement he had
been promoted to the rank of second
lieutenant, but died without knowing
of the new honor. He already had
received the military medal.
Sergeant Rockwell is the second
American flyer to be killed In action,
.lust three months ago, on June 24,
Corporal Victor Chapman of New
York, also a member of the Franco-
American corps, was killed at Verdun
in a battle with German aeroplanes.
Progress On th«.
On the battle-front" in France, vio
lent artillery duels have predomi-
nated.
Russian attacks on the upper
reaches of the Dniester resulted in a
general engagement. North of
Zborow the attacked entered the Teu
ton trenches, but later, according to
Berlin and Vienna, were driven out,
suffering sanguinary losses and leav
ing behind them seven hundred prls
oners and seven machine guns, l'etro
Olathe, Kan.—Full investigations
had been ordered of the lynching here
of Bert Dudley, convicted of the mur
der of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Muller, an
aged German couple, who lived on a
farm near Stilwell, seventeen miles
southeast of here. One was to be
made through Attorney General Brew
ster at the request of Governor Cap
per and another was to be conducted
by A. L. Randall, county attorney.
But few clews have been obtained
as to the identity of the mob mem
bers, who. after overpowering the
guards and battering down the jail
doors, hanged Dudley to a telephone
pole in the outskirts of the town and
riddled his body with bullets. All
were masked, and witnesses, lnclud
ing the Jail guards, said they had no
information concerning those who par-
ticipated in the lynching other than
a belief that they were neighbors of
the murdered couple from Stilwell.
The hanging of Dudley was the first
lynching in Kansas since 1902.
Olathe is the center of curious
crowds, many of whom came from a
distance and most of whom joined In
praising Mrs. Carroll, wife of the sher-
for her heroic attempts to pre-
rent the lynching. She hid the jail
keys, called additional guards and
summoned the fire department while
her husband silently was watching
the break into Dudley's cell.
Lynching Costs Sheriff His Job.
Topeka.—Under a law enacted in
909 a county coroner becomes sherilt
following a iynching. Under this act
L P. Lathrop becomes sheriff of John
son county pending an investigation
by Governor Capper l^ito the lynching
of Bert Dudley at Olathe. The gover-
nor will hear testimony next week
in the lynching case. He may then
order the reinstatement of Sheriff E.
Carroll or appoint a successor.

Athens.—If Greece does not at once
enter the war Eleutherious Venizelos,
former premier and Cretan statesman,
may go to Crete to head the revolu-
tionary which is under way there. A
provisional government is said to have
been proclaimed.
The former premier in an Interview
with the Associated Press said he
could not say now whether he would
join the revolution. He declared he
must wait and see what decision re-
garding the war Is made by the gov
ernment. ,
"As 1 said on August 27," he de-

ing Villa and his main band, which
made the Hidalgo day attack on Chi-
huahua City, into the rugged Santa
Clara canon district to the northeast,
according to reportB to Gen. Francisco
Gonzales, commandant in Juarez. The
bandits are well mounted and appar-
ently were leading the de facto forces
over the jagged rocks, ruinous to the
feet of horses, into the canon. Per-
sons familiar with the country point-
ed out that should Villa reach one of
his lairs in the district, the govern-
ment troops may have the greatest
difficulty in finding him.
Villa Loses 250.
The report indicated that Villa's
force numbers approximately 1,500
and is opposed by the garrison of
about 7,000. The Villa casualties also
are said to be considerably larger
than was first indicated. From the
number of dead and wounded picked
up by pursuing forces, it is estimated
the losses are probably 250.
Villa himself directed the attack,
according to the dispatehes, but did
not enter the town, remaining across
the Rio Churlscar to the northwest
with a few hundred of his reorganized
'Gold Ones." When his followers had
fallen back to this poin*. it was as-
serted he directed the retreat.
General Jose Inez Salazar. former
notorious bandit leader was liberated
by Villa bandits in their attack on
Chihuahua City and was killed in the
fighting which followed. One report
says he was killed while fighting with
government troops, his former jail-
ers. Another says he was aiding t-he
bandits when slain.

know what that will He, but a long
continuation of the present situation
would be intolerable. Already we
have suffered al the agonies of a dis-
astrous war while remaining neutral.
"We even have more than an entire
army corps of Greeks held prisoner of
war in a foreign country and already
we have paid the Bulgara an immense
war Indemnity, amounting in military
equipment, property destroyed and a
loot of Greek cities occupied, to more
than $40,000,000. And finally we are.
perhaps, on the verge of making now

"Legalistaa" Making Trouble
Laredo, Texas.—Trustworthy ad-
vices brought to Laredo indicate a
reign of terror exists in the state of
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, extending
from the Luevo Leon state line to
Queretaro, owing to the activities of

tendent of the college.
Nine years ago Leftwich founded
the school at Boley, Okla. Three
years ago all of the buildings except
one burned, and Leftwich began solic
iting donations for new school build
lngs. Clearview was selected as the
location for the new school because of
its healthy location. The Chirstian
church board became interested In

struction of the buildings. The -site,
thirty-six acres, was donated to the

other associates in rebuilding their
machine here, preparatory to leaving

shops, and their third one was the
one wrecked at Seminole which was
rebuilt new except for the engine.
