% BOMBS DROPPED ON DUNKIRK The Allies riake Another Raid With Dirigibles and Aeroplanes on Metz and Other Points A despattli frunj Dunkirk says: In answer to the water plane raid on Cuxhaven (ierman aeroplanes on \Ve<lnp:<'ay rai<l(d Dunkirk, and for more than half an hour were dropping b<inibs all nver the town. Aocordinif to returns already in, 1') people were killed and ;'.2 woun<Je<l. The visiting fleet t-oniprisetl four aeroplanes, both Taubes and Avia- tiks. which flew several times aeross the city, dropping bombs on each journey* Soldiers in the streets replied with vigorous rifle fire, but the aeroplanes sailed oal^Blv on. One .eenie<l to have bet Ji- nit. for he turned on his head and descended Mjveral hundred feet before right- ing himself, but all got safely away. The bombs fell. first on one side and then on another. No scHinrr did one aeroplane seem to be departing than another arrived. The whole city cracked with rifle shots and b''mlis. which threw up dense clouds of black smoke. Buildings and windows were smashe<l in all directions and tramway lines at ' one place were cut clear through. The fir.st bomb fell on the fortifi- cations and two more near the rail- ' v.ay station. Another landed in the 1 Uue C'aumartin and another in the I kitchen of the military hospital. I Anotiicr fell near the Town Hall, ' others in the Rues Pierre and Nieu- : [x.rt. and also near the arsenal. I Two fell in the suburbs of Rosen- Idaal on a jute factory. The dis tricts of C'oudelteque and of Turnes also suffered, and many were W(juiided there. One child had an arm blown off, while another with an old woman was killed outright, being dreadfully disfigured. The bombs were filled with shrapnel, wliich pitted the wall.s and build- ings. A horse in the Rue Nieuport, close to the spot where a bomb fell, was mutilated. British ambulances carried the suflferers to the hospital. Some were dead on arrival there. The fifth German aeroplane re- mained as sentry outside the town, taking no part in the raid, but hold- ing itself in readiness to attack any of the allies' aeroplanes seeking to repel the invading fleet.

In less than three months during the t-ummer of 1913, forty-seven cases of children being poisoned were reported in the newspapers of eighteen American, states. Of these quite a number proved fatal, and many others were expected to die. The danger to children in the use of fly poisons, lies in the fact that practica.lly all <vf them contain arsenic in a sufficient quantity to cause death or very serious illness, even when but a little of the pre- paration is swallowed by the <-bi!d. Children are particularly attract- ed to fly poiH<jns l)e<'ause of the fact that it is customary to mix Hugar with the poison in oixier to attract the flies. There were undoubtedly a great many eases of children being poi- •â- oned in this way which did not come to public attention, especially because of the fact that the .symp- toms of arsenical poispiming in chW dren are almost itientical with the symptoms of <holera. infantum. This dea<lly infantile (liseaso pre- vails during the fly season and the d<jctor» state that il is practically impossible to dotermine whether death was caused by cholera infan- tum or fly poison, iiiiIchs the chil- <lren are au'lually seen drinking or sucking the |)oison. The authorities in South Africa have already taken .ste.ps to regti- lnle and ultimately e-liminat-e the sale of fly poisons, and it is hoped by the 4ipponents of these prepara- tions to secure prohibitory legisla- tion in the various states at an early date. In the meantime, parents having small c-hildern are particularly can lione<l against the use of fly poison of any kind in locations where il is within reach of the children.

SOON TAKEJHE_ INITIATIVE The Germans Must Abandon Their Present Tactics, Says a French Expert A despnfcli from l*ari» says : Lieut -Col. RotiOTet devotes a long editorial in the Lil)erte to an aiialy »is of the situation created by the extraordinary complex sysitein of entrenchments on both sides He refutes the argument often put for- ward that neither the Germans nor the allies can hope now for a doci •ive change in tlio near future. "On the contrary," ho says, "very coon we shall be in a position to lake the initiative. TImi enemy, run U) earth botih in the east and west, will be forced to abandon bis present tactics. Then a liatMo on Napoleonic principles will prove M decicive as it proved recently in Hervia, when at the very moment the AiiHtrians believed they ha<I a victory in hand they were over- whelmed. Yet before striking their crushing blow the Horvians. had re- tired some one hundred kihmietres. "We do not iieod to retire. On the contrary, wo »re holding firm, and wii are preparing, like valiant litl<le Hervia, our weapons for the decisive encounter. It is not num- bers that gUiaraivt<eo vieUtry. It is determination to win, and above all a steady pursuit of the solo object of war, namely, the demoraJi/.ation nf the enemy. When our general staff sees the moment to strike has arrivod the blow will be struck," British Battleship Either Hit Mine or Was Tor- pedoed .\ despatch from London says: The British battleship Formidable was sunk in the l-'-nglisli Channel on Friday morning with the loss, it i* believed, of about 600 officers and men. So far as is definitely known, there are 160 survivors of 'the dis- aster. The vessel'n normal comple- ment was 7H1 officers and men. The Daily Chronicle states that surviv- ors of the battleship Formidable report that the vessel was torpe doed both fore and aft early Friday morning and sank almost imme- diately, giving the crew hardly time 'to escape. The place of the disas- ter was not given in the official an- nouncement, nor had the cause of the vessel's loss been determined. The brief and rather meagre official statement issued was as follows: "The battleship Forniidablc was sunk in the Channel but whether by a mine or a submarine is not yet certain. "Kighty survivors have been pick ed up by a British ligh't cruiser, and it is [Missible that others may have been rescued by other vessels." It was later announced that the Tor Bay trawler Pr()vi<lence ha<i lan(lc<l 70 atldilional survivors. Thoy were rescued by the trawler during a 'terrific storm Fri<lay morning. This makes the aggre- gate niiniber of saved, so far as is known, 150. Among the rescued are eight officers aiul six midship- men. The Daily Mail qiioten from the Plymouth Mercury a <lolailed story of the rescue of the two officers and fiH men by the Hrixlinm trawler Providence, The Proviilence was running for shelter from a gale, but was compelled to heave to off Start Point, in Devonshire, which ju'ts into the Channel 25 miles south-east of Plymouth. The rescue was effected under dangerous and exciting circum- stances. The crew of the trawler was amazed while running before the gale for shelter to find a small, open boat driving under their lee through mountainous seas with an oar hoisted, hearing a sailor's scarf, .'\fter s'trenuous efforts those on the trawler succeeded in getting a rope to the outter and brought her with great skill to berth at their stern. The naval men began to jump ahoard, but even then there was danger of losing men, as 'the seas were rising thirty feet high. .After thirty minutes" lalxir, however, all were safely rescued. One lad of nineteen was so exhausted by ex posttre t'.at lie required imtiie<liate treatment to save his life. When all had left the cutter her rope was cut as she was full of wa'ler, hav ing a hole under her hull which hail been stuffed with a pair of trousers of which one man bad <li- vested himself for the purpose. Some of the rescued men had no trousers and these were cared for in the wnrm engine room. The na val men had been in the cutter for nearly twelve hours. The crew of the trawler distributed hot coffee, food and tobacco among the be- numheil sailors. When 'they landed at Hrixham the residents brought blnuketa, clothing an<l IvHitR for the survivors and housed them in com- fortable quarters. British War Prisoner Must Die MANAGING WAR ALL RIGHT British Public Cease Criticismâ€" There Is No Need, to Fear An Invasion A despatch from London cays : Criticism of the Government's war preparations which was rampant during the early stages of the war, has largely ceased. The War OfiBce has now enlisted the services of biu'iness men with experience in carrying out big en- terprises to take part in the work of supplying the army, and the labor unions have volunteered t-o watch the execution of Govern- ment contracts, not only to see tha,t proper equipment and rations are supplied to the soldiers, but to pre- vent sweating. Arnold White, a prominent wri- ter and former colonial official, has been making a thorough inspection of the training camps for the pur- pose of detecting any scandals and mismanagement. Having been a bitter enemy of the Government, his poiat cf view was not prejudiced in it; '"vor. He writej : "Having visited 36 camps in vari- ous parts of the country, I .im thor- oughly cheered . In the majority of ca.'e.s business men are handling the diificult problems of war. Dwellers inland have no conception of the thoroughness, efficiency and silence with which the War Office and the .Admiralty have co-operated for the business of preventing a German raid or invasion. The alarm thatij still felt in some parts of these is- lands is wholly unjustified, because, firstly, the busdness efficiency of the fleet under Jellicce ha.* increased since the war began, and, secondly, because the practical measures adopted by our mili'?ry engineers, if generally knov.n, would enable the timid to slcej) quietly in their beds." Rl'SSI.VNS AGAIN INVADE. t'zar'H Troops Have irossod the Carpathians by Four Passes. A despatch from London says : Hep)orts emanating from diplomatic sources in Rome are that the Rus- sians have again crossed the Car- pathians into Hungary. I'our of the Mountain passes are said now to be in the possession of the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas, which are at the heels of the .\ut<lriaii army re- treating towards the plains to the southward. The opinion is held that tliis new- invasion of Hungary, rendered pos- sible by the collapse of the Aus- trian offensive in Galicia. will make it inevitable for Field Marshal von Hindenburg to draw off the German army with which he lias been vainly trying to break down the Russian defences on the Bzura and Rawka Rivers to the west of Warjiaw. With Hungary at tiic merc.v of the Cossacks, and with al! hope gone of the defenders of Cracow being reinforced from the south, it is ex- pected that the German comman- der-in-chief will immediately And it necessary to transfer the greater number of his troops from Poland in order to defend the Silesia fron- tier from invasion.

I A despatch from Paris says : Il is plainly evident that the people of France could have had no more pleasing New Year's gift than the one contained in the announcement that the French Government has app<,inted a sub-prefect for the "departmept of Haute-Rhine," which comprises the richest part of the lost province of .Alsace. This is important not only from a senti- mental point of view, but likewisi from a military basis. It is inter- preted as meaning that the French inva&ion of .\lsace-ljcrraine has pivigressed to auoh a degree that a civil administration of conquered territory is entirely compa-tible with the strategic aims of the gen- eral staff. The reoccupation of •Msace-Lorraine disastrously at- tempted in the early stages of the war has long been desirable from many standpoints. Now it has ap- parently become necessary frt>m the standpoint of offervsive warfare. In other words, the F'rench troops have advanced so far in .Alsace tii."vt the region remaining uud-jr their con- trol had to be incorporat^'d in the Government of F'rance, ?.nd A'^ace has become what it was before 1878 â€" F'rench in laws, customs and procedure. The Germans .several days ago re- cognized in an official statement that the allies were planning a gen- eral forward movement in Alsace, and warned their netiple t<.> expect such news. It has been known here for some time that this plan ha<l met with full success, but not until Friday was the seal of accomplish- I ment set uopn it in the appoint- I nient of M. Paulhe as administra- tor of the region, with his head- quarters at Dannemarie. FRANCE BUILDS AIR FLEETS Large Divisions of Aeroplanes Will Operate, In- stead of Raids by a Few Machines at a Time .â- \ despatch from New Yorks says : France is building two great fleets of aircraft, armed with cannon, darts and bombs, with which to in- vade Germany in the spring, accor- ding to Pedr>> Chnpa, a Mexican aviator, who has been in F'uropo for the past four yeprs, and who arrived here on the Cunard liner Carpathian.

The monoplanes are intended mainly for scout work, and will make a speed of 120 miles an hour. .Ml the aero- pnncs will have a cruising radius of 130 miles from the frontierR, said Chr.pa. and their attack will U'ot be in the form <vf raids by a few ma- chines as hitherto, but by large di- visions.
