a s WO ZSPPELINS â€" "â€"â€"ABE DESTROYED A German Dirigible Brought Down Near Dunkirk and Its Crew of 40 Captured. 4 A despatch from London says : 8 Two Zeppelin airships, members of the fleet which raided towns on both sides of the English Channel recently, were destroyed, according "Just after dawn Monday mornâ€" ing a Zeppelin flying from the diâ€" rection of ~the English coast was sighted in the Channel by the crew of a French torpedo patrol boat. The airship was flying slowly at no great height, and thus offered a _ good mark for gunners on board \‘ the destroyer. They fired several shots at her, and one at least took effect, for immediately afterwards the huge craft was observed to have a very decided list on her. This increased momentarily, until presenitly the whole ship appeared to crumple up iand made â€"one or two frantic dives and fell into the sea a few miles from Gravelines within sight of Gris Nez light. The Zeppelin and crew disappeared " totally in the sea, and bodies were afterwards seen floating about in the vicinity."

Will Abandon Offensive Before Ypres and Begin Attack Against Dixmude ‘A despatch from London says: The Daily Mail‘s correspondent at Rotterdam forwards a report from Bruges that the German offensive before YÂ¥pres is weakening, because of the vigorous counterâ€"attacks of the allies farther south of the city. "‘The. British,‘"‘ he says, "reinâ€" forced and encouraged by the sucâ€" A resolution in this sense was moved at a@a public meeting in Chelâ€" sea ~toâ€"night by Lord Charles Beresford and was seconded by Lord Robert Cecil. It was unaniâ€" mously passed. GERMANS ARFE WEAKENING Lord Beresford urged that all German property in the British A despatch from London says: The riots which occurred earlier in the week have given place to conâ€" emnation by public men of the rman Emperor and his advisers, who are charged with the responsiâ€" bility for the actions which have aroused public anger. The demand is made that the British Governâ€" ment public proclaim the personal responsibility of members of the German Government for "the outâ€" rages perpetrated by German offiâ€" cers or their agents during the present war.‘" Simulating Humanity, Germany is in *Fact a Reâ€" version to Preâ€"Historic Barbarism A NAKED, UNASHAMED MONSTER to ~reports : reaching â€" here_ from Northern France, while a third dirigible is described in an Admirâ€" alty~statement as having been seâ€" verely damaged by bombs thrown from a British aeroplane. One of I;l}e destroyed â€" Zeppelins _ was Mrought down by gunfire and landâ€" ed near Dunkirk, where its crew was captured.. The other was sunk in the Channel by the fire of a French torpedo boat, and bodies of members of its crew were seen floating off Gravelines. A despatch to the Daily News from the north of France, says : The Goliath was ‘attacked, and sunk while protecting the ga,nk of the FEFrench troops in their land operations. C § Despatches to the Admiralty from Vice:â€"Admiral Michael De Roâ€" BRITISH BATILESHIP SUNK Announcement of the loss of the CGoliath was made in the House of Commons by. Winston â€" Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Adâ€" miralty. Mr. Churchill also announced that the British submarine Eâ€"14 had penetrated through the Dardaâ€" nelles and into the Sea of Marâ€" mora, sinking two Turkish gunâ€" boats and a Turkish transport. ‘The Goliath was torpedoed sunk by Turkish destroyers night. s British Submarine Eâ€"14 Avenges By Sinking Two Turkish Gunboats ‘A despatch from London says : The British battleship Goliath has been torpedoed in the Dardanelles. Tt is feared 500 lives have been. lost. and last cessful defence, have attacked vigâ€" orously and advahced against the Germans east â€"~of the city. The Germans iare terribly exhausted by their ferocious efforts to win their way to Calais. I learn,‘‘ he conâ€" cludes, ‘"that the next ambitious attack of the Germans will be against Dixmude."‘ Lewis Harcourt, British Secreâ€" tary of State for the Colonies, speaking at a meeting on the water front toâ€"night, said that Germany "‘stood at the bar of the world a naked and uniashamed monster, simulating humanity, but in fact a reversion to preâ€"historic barbarâ€" ism.~" or not, be interned until British prisoners in Germiany are treated as honorable prisoners of war. Lord Cecil said he had been told that Emperor William did not apâ€" prove of what had been done, but the speaker declared that if the German Emperor disapproved and allowed these things to go on, he was ten times more guilty and must be punished ; this must be one conâ€" dition of any peace. With a forced lull in the fighting north of Arras on account of the condition of the ground as a reâ€" sult of a heavy rainfall the French army had an opportunity of estiâ€" mating the extent of the victories of the past week. About 100 offiâ€" cers have been captured since Sunâ€" day, and the French have also taken 20 cannon, including eight heavy guns, together with 100 miâ€" trailleuses and bombâ€"throwens. The total prisoners taken exceeded 6,000. _A conservative estimate places the total German loss at beâ€" tween 50,000 and 60,000. War Costs Britain A despatch from London says : F. D. Acland, financial secretary of the Treasury, estimates that the cost of the war to England is thirty pounds a second. This means £32,â€" 592,000 a day, which somewhat exâ€" ceeds David Lloyd George‘s recent A fleet of British and French aeroplanes delivered another aerial attack upon the German positions along the Belgian coast, destroyâ€" ing a number of bridges. Empire be confiscated and that all rich Germans, whether naturalized average of £2,100,000 A German attack in the Ailly wood resulted in the enemy temporâ€" arily gaining a footing in the first line of French trenches, but they were repulsed in a counterâ€"attack, and 100 taken prisoner. Fighting in the village of Neuville St. Vaast continues. More houses held by the enemy were captured, and the losses inflicted by the artilâ€" lery were extremely heavy, accordâ€" ing to captured soldiers. . CC A despatch from Paris says : The offensive of the allies was continâ€" ued to the southâ€"west of Angres, where two lines of trenches were captured and a strongly fortified wood, in which the bodies of 400 Germans were found after the batâ€" tle. TWENTY CANNON, 6,000 PRISONERS The Goliath was 450 feet long on the water line and 74 feet beam. Her displacement was 12,950 tons. She was armed with four 12â€"inch and twelve 6â€"inch guns; twelve 12â€" pounders, six 3â€"pounders and two machine guns. She had four torpeâ€" do tubes. French Official Report on the Booty Captured During the Past Week. The Goliath was a sister ship of the Canopus, Ocean, Glory, Albion and Vengeance. She was commandâ€" ed by Captain Thomas L. Shelford. The Goliath was one of the older British battleships ®of the preâ€" dreadnought type. She was built in 1898. Her complement was 750 men. beck, commander of the British fleet in the Dardanelles sphere of operations, said that twenty offiâ€" cers and 160 men of the Goliath‘s crew had been saved. The battleâ€" ship normally carried a complement of 750 men. $150 Every Second A number of German establishâ€" ments were raided and sacked and their contents seattered over the streets. The Germans themselves were forced to go into hiding. The police in some cases were defiecd by the angry crowds, and some officers were injured during their endeaâ€" vors to protect the Teutons. The furniture and fittings of German houses agid stores were hurled thl‘b-ugha%w'indows to â€"the _ streets. When the proprietors were caught Antiâ€"German riots in the East End of London were renewed with even greater violence. Wherever a German showed himself he was atâ€" tacked. The police force has been so thinned by drafts sent to the army that it had difficulty in dealâ€" ing with the angry crowds. Special constables had to be called out. "It would be difficult to find a parallel for the feeling of righteous indignation aroused in all classes in this country,‘‘ the Premier said. ‘"One result of this, unhappily, is that innocent and unoffending perâ€" sons are in danger of being made to pay the penalty for the crimes of others. ‘"At this moment some 40,000 unâ€" naturalized aliens, of whom 24,000 are men, are at large in this counâ€" try. _ The Government proposes that all adult males of this class should, for their own safety and that of the country, be segregated and interned. If over the military age they should be repatriated. The Government recognizes there may be cases calling for exceptional treatment. Women and children in suitable cases should be repatriatâ€" ed, but there no doubt will be many cases in which justice and humanity will require that they be allowed to remain. A despatch from London says: Premier asquith announced in the House of Commons that ‘"all male enemies over military ago will be repatriated.‘‘ He also . said that women and children in suitable cases will be repatriated, though some might remain. The Governâ€" ment proposes to segregate. all adult male enemies for their own safety and for the safety of the country, Premier Asquith told the House of Commons. In announcâ€" ing the alien policy of the Governâ€" ment the Premier said : No doubt exists here of the diffiâ€" culty of the position in which this note places Germany. Nothing less than a repudiation of all she has A despatch fromâ€" Washington says: Gcrmany must abandon her entire submarine _ programme against merchant vessels if she is fully to satisfy the stand taken by President Wilson in the note sent to Berlin. She must disavow the Lusitania and other outrages upon American life and property of which the United States complains. She must make reparation "so far as reparation is possible for injurâ€" ies which are without measure," and she must take ‘"immediate steps‘‘ to prevent a recurrence of the attacks on the American flag and on American lives and Ameriâ€" can vessels.

Germans in the ‘vicinity are uniting for selfâ€" defence and police reinforcements are being rushed to the scene. Feeling in Johannesburg. ‘"Antiâ€"German feeling is running high as the result of the Lusitania tragedy. Extraordinary scemes are being enacted in front of the town hall, where crowds of citizens wait patiently for an opportunity to sign petitions to the Mayor reâ€" questing him to call a mass meeting to voice protests against Germany‘s action. Large placards in the windows of almost all business houses and marâ€" kets bear the words : No business transacted with Germans.‘ A number of Russian Jewesses were flocking this morning to the police stations in the East End and pleading for protection, explaining that they were being mistaken for Germans. Reports are reaching the police that private houses belonging to wealthy Germians in the fashionâ€" able West End are liable to be burned. One German was thrown into a horse trough with the reminder that his compatriots had been spending their time drowning women and children. He was only saved from a similar fate by the intervention of the police. There were several instances of German butchers trying to escape in their carts. They went racing down the streets at a mad gallop, but in most cases they ultimately were run down and their vehicles smashed. Einally,. the plain intimation is conveyed that the note itself is not all Germany must expect <if any action is not forthcoming. Stripped of its diplomatic dress, the President‘s note carries not only the demands, but a threat. Stress is laid upon the expectation of the United States for prompt action, and as regards the most imâ€" portant demand, that of guaranâ€" tees for the future, "immediate steps‘‘ are required. theys were severely mauled. In some cases their clothes were torn from their backs. done and abandonment of practiâ€" cally all she hopes to do with subâ€" marines against merchantmen and an admission that she has violated the laws of nations and humanity will enable Germany entirely «to meet the views so earnestly comâ€" municated to her by the United States.
