“This is our affalr” they argue.
“Everybody concerned in it is taking
part in 1t like the review you saw the
other day. There are no gpectators,”
“But it might be of advantage if the
world knew,”
Mine was a foolish remark,
“There is only one world to-day—
the world of the Allies, Each of them
knows what the others are doing, and
the rest doesn’t matter.” '
This is a curious but delightful fact
to realize first hand, and think what It\
will be later when we shall all circu
late among each other, open our‘
hearts and talk it over in a brother
hood more intimate than tieg of blood.
I Jay that night at a littie French
town and was kept awake by a man
somewhere in the hot, still darkness,
howling aloud from the pain of his
wounds,
I wag glad that he was alone, for
when one man gives away others
sometimes follow. Yet a single note‘
of misery s worse than the baving
and gulping of a whole ward. I wish- |
ed that a delegation of strikers could
have heard it.
That a eivillan should be in the war
zone at all is a fair guarantee of hiul
good faith. It is when he is outside
the zone, unchaperoned, that ques
tions begin and permits are looked
into,
If these are irregular—but one
doesn’t care to contemplate it; if reg
ular, there are still a few counter
checks. As a sergeant at a railroad
station sald when he helped us out of
an impasse: ‘

Best of all, there were no forelgn

time was French throughout from end

If one asked after the people that
gave dinners and dances last vear,
where everyone talked so brilllantly
of such vital thines, one got in return

Some of the hosplitals were In Parls,
Thelr staffs might have one hour a

overtakes an acquaintance whom till

'rhoufh he is the very same comrade

in all things he has become great,
So it Is with France to-day. She

soul,
One sees this not alone In the-—it

English Arbitration

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18,—Intima

lJand may demand arbitration of the
commercial issues in dispute between
the two countries should the Ameri
can demand that the “freedom of the
seas” be restored be couched in dras

here. They believe that if such tac
tics are attempted they will make the
situation worse instead of better,
The President is admittedly very
anxious to obtain substantial conces
sions from Britain to offset the de
mand of the commercial Interests of
the United States for an embargo on
arms in retallation for the British in
terference with tne commerce of this
country. If a policy of delay is tried

questions at Issue between the Gov

convenes and thus play into the

They have the heart’s ease that

Out of these things is born their

Ezclusive War Dispatches of The At

PETROGRAD, Sept. 19.—Unprece
dented agitation is noticeable in the
lobbies of the Duma. Since vesterday
morning the Deputles havé been =x
changing views regarding the latest
stages of the crisis, The decision to
prorogue the session of the Duma is
deplored, but the constitutional par
ties desire to maintain calm. The de
cision to suspend the Duma until No
vember 14 was known last night. At
a sitting of the Council of Ministers
yesterday, Premier Goremykin an
nounced he had been commanded to
notify the suspension of both houses.
Various qugstions of domestic pol
icy will be tze subject of considera
tion by the Cabinet at Tsarko-Selo
next Thursday. It is stated the Prime
Minister will have a meeting with the
Czar within a week, and an important
decision will be reached, ecalculated to
put a different complexion on the sit
uation.
Socialists Leave House.
The imperial ukase was read in the
Duma this afternoon. Before M. Rad
zianko, President of the Duma, was
able to read it the Soejalists and Pro
gressists arose demonstratively and
left the house.
The ukase was listened to by the
memberg standing amid profound si
lence, followed by the customary loyal
hurrah, which was somewhat marred
by seditlous cries uttered by the re
treating Socialists. Immediately after
the reading of the ukase the hall was
emptied.
Later the whole house went into
private committee. It is believed the
deliberations were over the question
of delegating the President to de
mand an audience with the Czar at
fleld headquarters and to lay before
the crown the opinion of the Duma as
to the gravity of the crisis.
Considers Premier Unfit, s
The Duma does not seek a conflict
with the Government on account of
the prorogation, but it considers the
Prime Minister unfit to direct the af
fairs of the country, and for that rea
son is resorting to a direct represen
tation to the crown.
Goremykin has not consulted hig
colleagues, He has been acting like a
dictator, and only the sense of their
duty to the crown and country has
prevented the Ministry from resign
ing en masse.

Eyewitness,
(By International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—For twenty
minutes on the night of September 7
a Zeppelin airship dropped shellg upon
Hadleigh, a suburb of London, in an
effort to wipe the town off the earth.
Soaring slowly through the night
sky .in the blaze of searchlights and
while machine guns and high-angle
guns directed a steady but ineffectual
fire, the monster airship rained high
‘powered bombs on the buildings and
‘around five great tanks holding mil
lions of gallons of gasoline, ~
- Two other airships were bombard-,
ing, other suburbs at the same time
and all are belleved to have escaped
despite the fire of the English guns
and the aeroplane patrols that rose
to give battle to them.
Thrilling Stories of Raid.
Thrilling stories of the raid, which
is believed to have cost the lives of
more than a score of persons, were
brought here on the White Star liner
Baltic, which arrived in port Friday
from Liverpool. One of them was
told by A. J. Taylor, a resident of
Hadleigh, who saw the bombardment.,
While thousands of persons in the
London suburb cowered in homb
proof cellars and a few of the bolder
spirits climbed to the roofs to get a
better view of the stirring night bat
tle, the British Metropolis was treated
to such a sight as it had never seen
before,
The scene is eleven miles from Lon
don proper.
“I was awakened at about half past
12 at night by the jarring explosion
of a bomb,” declared Mr, g‘aylnr. “Im
mediately it was followed by two more
explosions, and the the quick rattle of
the machine guns broke ou}
“Quickly shafts of lights from the
searchlights were turned skywari,
and there, hovering about three-quar
ters of a mile above the ground, was
the hostlle visitor, soaring in lazy
sweeps,
Flare Lights Cut Darkness.
“The calmness and -quiet of the
summer night was turned into a
dreadful uproar, and the darkness was
illuminated with flare lights and the
explosions of gunpowder. :
“Some of the bombs dropped from
the Zeppelin exploded before they
reached the earth, scattering flashes
of light in the sky and throwing weird
lights of yellow and red over the
town. Fragments of the shells rained
upon the town, ”
“So high was the airship that we
could not see the men on board, hut
its outline was distinéfly visible. The
shots from the land guns fell harm
lessly away from it or passed it with
out doing any harm.
| “All the lights in the town had
been put out, but the flashes from
'the machine guns showed plainly
enough where they were planted.
I Germans Ready for Flight.
| “The Germans always kept the
‘nose of their big ship headed toward
the east so that they could take
flight the moment an aeroplane
soared aloft to attack them.
“gnme of the bombs fell in the fleld
and did no more damage than to rip a
hole in the ground, but others shat
tered buildings, bringing death and
wounds in their wake.
“These airships had evidently
crossel the North Sea to a point near
the mouth of the Thames and then
had followed the line of the London-
Southend-Tilbury Railway to Lon
don, probably being guided by the
lights on the trains passing toward
London,
“There were three airships in the
Zeppelin squadron that attacked us
an the night of the 7th.”
. An officer of the Baltic declared
that 17 persons had been killed in the
raid on September 7, and from 30 to
50 wounded, some of whom died later.
