EIGHT HURT BY EXPLOSIVES Compeigne, Bibeeourt and Dreslln- court Shelled; Aeroplanes Dflve Off Craft--Berlin Says Raid Was Re­ venge for Attack on Town. Paris, March 23.--The first Zeppe­ lin raid on Paris "was carried out early Sunday. Four bombs were dropped In the city and 13 in the suburbs. Seven or eight persons were injured, one se­ riously, but none fatally, "the mate­ rial damage was slight. The raiders were driven off by French aeroplane patrols and the fire of antiairship guns. One of the raid­ ers appeared to have been hit. In their retreat the raiders dropped bombs on Compeigne, Bibeeourt and Dreslincofirt. Some were explosive and some of incendiary character. No damage was suffered at these places. Probably the most remarkable feature of the raid was the deportment of the population. Warned of the coming of the Zep­ pelins, men and women clad in night attire flocked in gay and jocular pro­ cessions from their sleeping apart­ ments to the streets, or in the case of the more discreet, to the cellars of their homes. The discipline of the city's residents was marvelous. There was a complete absence of panic. When the Zeppelins approached whistles were blown and the sleeping residents aroused, all lights were ex­ tinguished and when the raiders ar­ rived over the city the capital was completely obscured. It was a beautiful starlit night. There was a light westerly breeze blowing. The approach of the raiders was signaled from at least twenty places. Half a dozen aeroplanes were wheel­ ing upward to beat them off and high- angle guns were blazing from several different points. It was the rapid appearanco of an aeroplane squadron, each machine flashing a small, but powerful, searchlight--that prevented the raid­ ers from attacking the center of the city, with its historic monuments. Everywhere the deportment of the people was* remarkable. The "qui vlve" lasted for three hours, the bu­ gles rallying the people to bed again shortly after four o'clock. The dan­ ger was over. Berlin, March 23.--The war office gave out on Sunday the following offi­ cial statement on the bombardment of Paris by Zeppelins: "To render more impressive our re­ ply to the misdeeds of two French avi­ ators in attacking the open Alsatian town of Schlettstadt, German airships dropped several heavy bombs on the fortress of Paris and on the railroad junction at Compeigne." ALLIES LIMIT BLOCKADE OP GER­ MANY TO WAR ZONE. NEGRO ARRESTED AS 'AXMAN' Police of Monmouth, III., Believe Score Of Crimes Will Be Solved With Arrest of Black. Monmouth, 111., March 23.--The po­ lice of this city hope that the mys­ tery surrounding more than a score of "axman" murders, in which entire families have been slain in the last four years, will be solved by the arrest of a negro giving his name as Loving Mitchell, who was captured on Sunday in a squalid shanty at 1625 Chestnut street, St. Louis, Mo. The negro, a giant In size, was arrested on the spe­ cific charge of having slain William E. Dawson, his wife and three-year-old daughter, Georgia, as they slept in their home in Monmouth, September 30, 1911. The similarity of the other crimes has led authorities to believe all were committed by the same man. The long list of victims of the "ax- man's" mania includes 29 persons, and his slayings cover Illinois, Missouri. Kansas, Iowa and Colorado.

Wont Confiscate Cargoes--State Da* partment at Washington Make* Public Answers to Notes. Washington, March 19.--In notes of similar tenor made public on Wednes- day by the state department. Great Britain and France make the definite assertion to the United States that they have established and are enforcing a blockade of the ports of Germany, but that the allied governments will "re­ frain from enforcing the usual penal­ ties of a blockade." It is further explained ' that neu­ tral vessels are subject to seizure only when presumed to be carrying contraband, and in the words of the French note, "the ^discharged cargo shall not be confiscated. Merchandise belonging to neutrals shall be held at the disposal of its owner to be re­ turned to the port of departure. In case the owner of the goods is a Ger­ man, they t?hall pimply be sequestered during the war." These notes were in answer to the American representations made to the allies recently asking an expla­ nation of the method to be adopted in enforcing the blockade, and pointing out that som i of the provisions in this blockade plan were paradoxical. The American note was made public by Secretary Bryan simultaneously. The reply of Great Britain to the recent American note proposing a method of agreement between Great Britain and Germany for the protec­ tion of neutral ships in the sea war zone, and suggesting that Great Brit­ ain permit the shipment of foodstuffs to German civilians in return for the abandonment of mine and submarine warfare, also was made public. As 'has already been announced in the newspapers, the British reply is a com­ plete rejection of the proposal. Ger­ many's conciliatory reply already has been published.

The admixture of all classes la the army and the large proportion of young married men hav* rendered im­ possible the maintenance of the old antimarriage rule that so long pre­ vailed in the British army.

'A London, March 24.--The white flag was hoisted on the fortress of Prze- mysl on Monday and the Russian army entered the city without firing a shot after a siege of six months to the day that has few parallels in history. Fifty thousand Austrian soldiers, 200 pfficers and nine generals threw down their arms and surrendered, worn to the last extremity by disease and hunger. The fall of the fortress is re­ garded in Petrograd and London as the greatest victory for Russian arms since the beginning of the war. Following up quickly the advantage gained by the capture of the Austrian stronghold, the Russian army has be­ gun a gigantic battle along the en­ tire Carpathian front. Re-enforce­ ments have been rushed into the mountains in the expectation of the fall of Przemysl and everywhere the Austrlans are being attacked with marked stubbornness. The most violent conflicts are tak­ ing place in the vicinity of the Dukla, Uszok and Lupkow passes, which are the three principal passes nearest Przemysl, from which they are dis­ tant only about fifty miles. The official statement received from Petrograd says: "In consequence of the joyful event of the surrender of the fortress of Przemysl, Generalissimo the Grand Duke Nicholas has been awarded the St. George's cross of the second de­ gree and General Seliwamoff, com­ mander of the army before Przemysl, has been awarded the St. George's cross of the third degree." Austro-German losses in the at­ tempted sortie from Przemysl and the fighting south of Tarnow in the last 48 hours total more than forty thou­ sand, according to a semiqfflcial state* ment from the Russian war office. The garrison originally numbered 100,000 men. The Russian armies engaged in the siege are now expected to ad­ vance simultaneously to besiege the fortress of Cracow and to aid in the invasion of Hungary. The news of the fall of the "fortress evoked the wildest scenes in Petro­ grad since the beginning of the war. Crowds massed in the street and be­ fore the government buildings, teheer- ing wildly. Almost dally the Austrian garrison has sallied forth to attack ths Rus­ sian outposts, which were steadily drawing a tighter ring about the in­ ner forts. The Russian howitzers finally wrecked all the outer forts and the "Russian war office several days ago made the significant announce­ ment that Russian troops were "with­ in rifle shot" of the main defense. For months the only means of com­ munication between Przemysl and the outside world was by wireless teleg­ raphy and aeroplanes. There have been indications recent­ ly that hunger was an effective ally of the Russians, for it w'as reported that aeroplanes were making daily flights to Przemysl with cargoes of provisions. ^ ± f L0RIMER PLEADS NOT GUILTY Former United States Senator From Illinois Appears Before Federal Judge in Chicago.
