A despatch from Paris says:1
L'Intran.sigeant prints extracts of
an interview by a representative of
"Lectures Pour Tous" with Gener-
als Foch and Durbal. The former,
who commands the French army in
northern France, shows the great-

STIR SEDITION
IN CZAR'S NAME
German Press Rays Zeppelin Rails
• Will Be E ollowed: By,
Others.
A despatch from Berlin says: The
first page of all the newspapers pub-
lished in Berlin contained news of
the attack made by Zeppelins on
the English coast, and • scanty re-
port front the eatern and :weter'n
t i:ed inconspicu-
war theatres occupied
ous places on inside pages,
With remarkable unanimity, the
German press 'appears to expect
that this raid, will be followed short-
ly by others. While the amount of
damage done by the bombs dropped
from the airships is not yet kuown
here, satisfaction is expressed: in
the fact that all the Zeppelins re-
turned safely and inethe belief that
"the moral effect of the bombard-
ment cannot fail to be very great,
especially as it follows so closely the
recent bombardment of the Heurtle-
pools and other points on the east-
ern coast of England by German
cruisers.
The German official version of the
airship raid on the English east
coast is as follows :
"Our airships, in order to attack
the fortified town of Great Yar-
mouth, were obliged to fly over
other towns, from which, it is
stated, they were fired at. These
attacks were answered by the
throwing of bombs.
"England has no right to be in-
dignant, as her flying machines and
ships in broad daylight have attack-
ed open towns, such as. Freiburg,
Dar -es -Salam and Swakopmund.
"Aircraft .are acknowledged to be
legitimate weapons in the carrying
on of modern warfare as long as
their operations are conducted in
accordance with the rules of inter-
national law. This has been done
by our dirigibles. The German na-
tion, forced by England 90 fight
for its existence, cannot be • com-
pelled to forego the employment of
legitimate means of self-defence,
and will not do it, relying upon her
good right."
It is notable that the German
statement ignores the fact that the
airships bombarded Yarmouth be-
fore, and not after, flying over any
of the other towns. Concerning the
bombardment of Freiburg, the con-
tention of the allies has been that
the bombs were thrown at military
positions, such as an aviation han-
gar and a railroad station.
-will never aban-
don the task unless victorious."
General Durbal is equally confi-
dent. `'When I first arrived at the
post in the north I was forced to
attack the Germans daily, owing to
the necessity of making them think
my weak force strong. Now -that
reinforcements have arrived, I tell
you the Germans will neves pass. I
do not believe the bluff about their
wonderful fortifications. I know
about that. Why, we could break
their line at any point any minute
we want. Already they are trying
peace negotiations through the Bel-
gian King. How childish! They are
beaten, I tell you, whenever, wher-
ever we attack."

A despatch from Petrograd says=
The general staff of the eolntnander
in -chief has issued the following
order :
"Our adversaries have of late ,re-
sorted to all kinds of proclarnatio•ns
to troopsend appeals '
..the ii pp
eas to the
peoples of the regions visited by
the . war, inviting them to cease
fighting and make place. •
"The Austrians in this respect,
exceeded the limits of the utmost
insolence and baseness. Some Aus-
trian soldiers; especially selected
for that work, are circulating.
among bur troops proclamations, in
which our, eneinies are impudent
enough to address you as 'the noble
sons of holy Rassia,' invoking the
respected name of the Emperor,
alleging his signature.
"Every loyal subject knows that
every Russian, from the comman-
der-in-chief to the private soldier,
is obedient only to the sacred will
of our highly venerated -Emperor,
who alone has the power to declare
and to stop war.
"Our enemies, relying no longer
on. the strength of their arms and.
on suecess on the battlefield, have
committed. a vile forgery and an in-
famous crime. You must know,
brave soldiers, that only complete
demoralization and full consciou•s•-
ness of the fact that they are incap-
able of continuing aloyal, fight
could incite our enemies to• stoop to
such a despicable and extraordinary
crime. I have the unshakable belief
that with God's help our victorious
army will give, in the coming bat-
tles, the proper reply to our un-
worthy adverra,ries.
".Consequently, every person cap-
tured with these proclamations in
has possession will forthwith be
brought before a military tribunal
and arraigned as guilty of a fel-
ony."

o The general staff reports, on its
part, that au Austrian soldier, en-
trusted with the distribution of
these proclamations, declared that
