London.—With the first rainy days of Autumn and throat mod fogs. Eng land la becoming more and morn ap prehensive about Zeppelins. Many English military authorities believe It would bo Impractical for German air craft to attempt to drop bombs on Ix-inrton, but preparations have been made In the English capital against Such attacks. It generally Is conceded thnt Zeppe lins could hardly make a trip over as well defended a city as London In the day time, because of the guns on high building*. Still the firing of such ■tuns Is highly dangerous In a crowd ed city like I-ondon because the shells discharged at the aircraft must In evitably do great damage when they hit the earth At night, however, Iho flight of a Zeppelin over London would be comparatively safe.

"I thought I had seen the country restlesH before but never have 1 Ima gined anything like the present dis tress and hopelessness." writes the Rev. Dr. Williams 8 Nelson, long a missionary In Syria, from Tripoli un der date of August 21 "Riding across the country on Monday and Tuesday across three districts, 1 did not see a single camel or mule or horse and only a few weak donkeys and very few men.
