Zurich Herald, 1915-10-22, Page 2CANADIANS AMONG THE VICTIMS OF THE L AST ZEPPELIN RAID Reported Military Casualties Probably All Occur- red at Dominion Artillery Camp in Kent three are reported as missing and three wounded. All these casualties took place at Otterpool camp, Kent, England. The casualties took place among the 5th brigade of the Canadian sec- ond division artillery. As far as is known, these are the first Canadians to meet death as a result of a Zeppe- lin raid. The casualties of this type are all Western men, except Sergt. E. C. Harris, a well-known lacrosse so that it would appear that it was player, whose next-of-kin is given as largely Canadians who suffered. Be- residing in St. Catharines, Ont., and side the 11 men who lost their lives was a member of the 29th battery. A despatch from Ottawa says: The %eppelin raids on England have now come home to Canada. From the cas- ualty lists received and from informa- tion obtained from local militia sources it would appear that eleven Canadian artillerymen were among those who lost their lives in the last raid, that on the 13th. The total mili- tary casualties reported in the offi- cial statement by the British authori- ties were 14 killed and 13 wounded, UNDERSEA WARFARE IN BALTIC EVOKES PROTEST FROM SWEDEN Two Out of Ten German Ore Steamers Alleged to Have Been Sunk in Territorial Waters A despatch from London says: Bri- tish submarines in the Baltic thus far have sunk ten German ore -carrying steamers and have completely para- lyzed the ore trade between Sweden and Germany. This has caused some dissatisfaction in Sweden, and it is charged that two steamers were sunk within Swedish territorial waters. But the British assert that they have been studiously observing interna tional laws and have been sinking only German steamers. The Swedish Government has in- structed its Minister at London to protest against the violation of Swe- dish neutrality by British submarines, according to a Stockholm despatch to Reuter's. The Aftonbladet says that the Ger- man steamer Germania -one of those attacked -made straight for shore, where she grounded in a position un- doubtedly protected by the territorial limit. Nevertheless, a British sub- marine continued the pursuit. Men from the submarine boarded the Ger- mania and took away her papers. This statement is based on the report of the German captain of the vessel. ALLIES INVADE ably the sequel. The earlier despatch, which was dated Athens, read: "The French troops in Macedonia BuLGAR1AN sol, have received their baptism of fire near the railway bridge at Hadovc (Gievgdi), where they were attacked by 40,000 Bulgarians. "The scene" of the fighting is a few miles north of the Greek boundary-. The Bulgarians were attempting to cut the Salonica-Nish railway between Kalandovo and Dovdovc, a few miles north of the Greek boundary, to pre- vent the transportation of reinforce- ments and supplies to the Serbians." The Germans and Austrians claim to have gained complete possession of the strongly fortified heights south of Belgrade, and have occupied Ayala, a town on the Orient railway eight miles south of the Austrian frontier. South-west of Semendria the troops under Gen. von Gallwitz have thrown the Serbians across the Ralja River, thus breaking through one of their strongest lines of defence in this re- gion. Defeat a Force of 40,000 Attempting to Cut the Nish -Danube Railway. A despatch from London says: The allied forces from Salonica have be- gun operations against the Bulgarians -with unexpected zeal, and already the Serbo-Anglo-French forces have pen- etrated into Bulgarian territory just north of the Greek boundary, and are attacking the Bulgarian stronghold of Strumnitza, 'according to advices re- ceived from Salonica by the Reuter's Telegram Company. The advices declare that "the fall of Strumnitza is imminent." The despatch continues: "The Serbs, aided by the allies, repulsed the Bul- garians, who retreated on Strumnitza.. "It is learned from diplomatic, sources that Field Marshal von Mac- kensen, the German commander, has demanded reinforcements." A special despatch to the Rome Idea Nazionale from Athens says: "One-third of the Serbian army has been sent against Field Marshal von Mackensen on the Drina, Save and Danube Rivers, while the other two- thirds have been placed along the eastern front against the Bulgarian forees. The latter at many points have taken the offensive. "Serbo-French troops initiated af- ter their success at .Vilandovo a rapid . counter -offensive action, and pene- trated into the enemy's territory and are marching victoriously on Strum- nitza, the occupation of which is prob- able owing to the feeble resistance of the enemy." Earlier despatches told of the de- parture of the troops from Salonica and of the opening of the engagement of which the above despatch is prob- 20 TRAINS OF SHELLS IN A DAY FROM JAPAN A despatch from New York says: Cyrus Robinson, an English mining engineer, who arrived here recently from Petrograd, via Liverpool, on the Anchor liner California, said that Russia had been receiving ammuni- tion from Japan over the Trans- Siberian Railway for three months as fast as the locomotives could haul it. He said that as many as 20 train- loads had reached Moscow from Vladivostock in 24 hours, which had helped Russia to eheck the advance of the German army. Originally the floors of churches were of clay, beaten hard. A bar of iron worth $5, worked into horseshoes is worth $10; made into needles, is worth $350; made into penknife -blades, is worth $3,285; and made into balance -springs of watches, is worth $250,000.. ENEMY U-BOATS LAYING MINES IN PATPIWAV OF PEACEFUL SHIPS Submarine Piracy Having Proven a Failure, von. Tirpitz Has Inaugurated a Fresh Policy A despatch from London says: Archibald Hurd, writing in the Daily Telegraph of the submarine blockade, says: "Every one is by this time aware that the submarine piracy, though it has deprived is of many merchant ships and cargoes, has been a military failure. "Now the Germans have inaugurat- ed naugurated n fresh policy with a new type of, submarine. Ships of thisclass are now ; busily engaged in trying to de- stroy .aur own and neutral ships, for ;' there can be no discrimination. The new policy of mine laying in the path- ways of peaceful ships is peculiarly despicable. The mine -laying submar- ine creeps along on, or under, the water, as circumstances suggest. Her p..,rress, at night in particular, can- not be easily detected. Before the ', war opened, Simon Lake, an Arneri- can builder of submarines, invented a vessel of the under -water type which could lay these deadly explosive agents. The Germans have merely provedthat the method is practic- able.' PALE, FEEBLE GIRLS Weakness Generally Comes on as Womanhood Approaches. Girls upon the threshold of woman- hood often drift into a decline in spite of all care and attention. How often one sees girls who have been strong and lively become suddenly weak, de- pressed, irritable and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood -a crisis in the life of every girl -and prompt measures should be taken to keep the blood pure and rich with the red tint of health. If the blood is not healthy at this critical stage the body is weak- ened and grave disorders follow. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have saved thou- sands of young girls from what might have been life-long invalidism or an early death. They are a blood -builder of unequaled richness, strengthening weak nerves and producing a liberal supply of" red, healthy blood which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved their great value over and over again to young women whose health was failing. Miss Min- nie Duffield, Eramosa, Ont., says: - "It gives me great pleasure to tell you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for mc. Whew I was ap- proaching the age of womanhood I suffered greatly from bloodlessness, or anaemia. My work was a drag to me, I had no appetite and never felt rested in the mornings. I could scarcely walk for five minutes at a time without taking a rest. I .was troubled with severe headaches, and things looked gloomy indeed. 1 doe- tored for a long time and got but little, if any, benefit. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and did so, and after taking them for a , time, felt better. I continued taking the Pills until I had used six boxes, ETT COMPAQ TORouro;ONT.

Begun on the fifth, in the afternoon, the bom- bardment continued until the eighth without ceasing. ° Tens of thousands of shells of all calibres were thrown methodically, with the object of mak- ing as many victims as possible and creating a panic. Before the bom- bardment the enemy opened a barrier of fire on the roads leading out of the city, killing many persons who were fleeing. During the bombardment enemy aeroplanes flew over groups of refugees, signalling the range to the batteries. The southern part of the city, where the inhabitants had taken refuge, was bombarded all the night of the sixth. The number of victims was great. From a military stand- point the bombardment has had no effect on the plan of operationsdrawn up for the Serbian troops. when I felt like a new person, and ENEMY VESSELS was again enjoying splendid health. ENEMY I would strongly advise any girl who is weak or run down to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills." You can get these pills from any dealer in medicines or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 56 WERE KILLED IN LONDON RAID 170 Casualties, Including 28 Soldhj& In the Last Zeppelin Attack. A despatch from London says: Fifty-six persons were killed and 114 injured in the recent Zeppelin raid over London. Fifteen of the 56 per - 'sons killed and 13 of the 114 wound- ed were military casualties, accord- ing to an announcement made later 6 by the Official Press Bureau. The text of the announcement follows: "The Press Bureau of the War Office announces that a fleet of hos- tile airships visited Eastern Counties and a portion of the London area and dropped bombs. "Anti-aircraft guns of the Royal Field Artillery, attached to the cen- tral force, were in action, and an air- ship was seen to heel over on its side and to drop to a lower altitude. Five aeroplanes of the Royal Flying Corps went up, but owing to atmos- pheric conditions only one aeroplane succeeded in locating an airship. This aeroplane, however, was unable to overhaul the airship before it was lost in the fog. "Some houses were damaged and several fires were started, but no ser- ious damage was caused to military material. All fires were soon got un- der control by the fire brigade. The military casualties were 14 killed and 13 wounded. "The Home Office announces the following casualties other than the military casualties reported above: Men. Killed . 27 Injured .. 64 Totals .. 91 39 12 142 "Of these casualties, 32 killed and 95 injured were in the London area, and these figures include those an- nounced last night," .1.

Total. 9 5 41 30 7 101 A despatch from Montreal says: A large supply of maple seed is being despatched to London this week from the organization offices of the Over- seas Club Tobacco Fund. The Over- seas Club headquarters in . London, England, are arranging to have the seeds planted round the graves and. in the cemeteries where Canadian sol- diers are buried in Flanders. Later it is hoped to plant an avenue at Langeniarck as a memorial to the Canadian heroes whose glorious 'deeds immortalized that place. SUNK IN BALTIC Two Destroyers Sent to the Bottom of the Ocean by a British Submarine. A despatch from Copenhagen says: Two German torpedo-boat destroyers have been sunk in Baltic waters by a British submarine, according to re- ports reaching Copenhagen. • One of the German warships was torpedoed at the southern entrance to The Sound, a narrow strait between Den- mark and Sweden which connects the Baltic with the North Sea. A..great explosion followed the striking of the torpedo, and the destroyer •foundered immediately. A message from Falsterbo, Sweden, which brought news of this incident, adds that other German destroyers and a ciaiser which were accompany- ing the destroyer that was sunk speeded to the southward. The infor- mation received here indicated that all the members of the destroyer's crew were lost. Additional details were given in a subsequent despatch. According to this version, a German cruiser and three destroyers were engaged with the British submarine. The German craft moved in circles to avoid the attack of the submarine, which was bombarded heavily. This continued for some time until the submarine lodged a torpedo on the destroyer, which sank with a terrific explosion. The other German warships are said to have retreated. The submarine rose to the surface and remained on the scene some time before it disap- peared. A sharp look -out from the Danish coast is being kept, but no survivors have been found. Despatches to the evening news- papers here say that a second Ger- man torpedo boat was sunk by the British submarine E-19 near Faxe. British submarines have now clear- ed the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia entirely of German merchant ships. Every German ship which was southbound from Sweden when. the submarines started their cam- paign has either been sunk or run ashore. Of 50 German ore carriers, 37 are virtually interned in Swedish ports. CRABS DRESS THEMSELVES. Shell Fish Spend Hours in Elaborate Dressing. Many of the crab sPecies of shell fish clothe themselves. Some species dress elaborately by taking small pieces of different colored weeds and sticking them on the shejl, so as to look like a stone covered with weed. They spend hours, with the utmost perseverance, in making these pieces adhere by trying the same piece over and over again till they succeed. They have a fine sense of sym- metry, and always put a red piece on one limb to match the red piece they have put on the other, and a green piece to match a green piece, though how they know red from green in the dark pools where they live is hard to say, unless it is by taste or smell. When once their dress is completed it improves the older it becomes, as the weed actually grows on them. Another species, with like habits and a most decided love for finery, clothe themselves with bits of bright - colored seaweed, sponges and so forth. If the crab be despoiled of its gar- ments it at once proceeds to clothe itself again with care and delibera- tion, manifested not only in the se- lection of its articles of apparel but in the proper shaping of them by means of its pincers. ENGLISH SCHOOL MISTRESS PUT TO DEATH IN BRUSSELS Germans Execute Woman Charged, Not With Espionage, But With Harboring Ally Soldiers A despatch from London says: The Foreign Office Chas been notified by the American Embassy that Miss Edith Cavell, lately the head of a large training school in Brussels, who was arrested Aug. 5 by the German authorities in Brussels, was executed Oct. 13 after sentence of death had been passed upon her. It is under- stood that the charge against Miss Cavell was that she harbored fugitive British and French soldiers and Bel- gians of militery age, and- had as- sisted them to escape from Belgium in order to join their colors, Kaiser Baiting for Spain s d Sweden A despatch from London says: The Morning Post's Rome correspondent says: "I. am informed that Germany is making two more diplomatie moves against us, one ,of these in Spain, where she is tempting the Conserve-. tive Cabinet with the 'offer of Gibral- tar and Morocco and the other in Swe- den, where the bait is Finland. Gor- many's condition is that the two countries enter into the European war at a moment convenient to herself, and Spain give her that part of Mor- occo which she had marked as Ger- man at the time of the Agadir affair."
