can aviators on the Toul front have been bombing towns behind the German lines. The first American bomb

ing raid was against Domary-Baron-court, northeast of Verdun, on Wednesday. This was followed Friday by an

other incursion on which 79 bombs

were dropped on Conflana, a railway lunrtion midwav between Metz and

Verdun. On both occasions the Amer

icans returned safely despite efforts of enemy airplanes and anti- aircraft guns. Italian troops have checked successfully strong enemy attempts to force a passage through the important Tonals pass, northwest of Trent. Two attacks by Austrian infantry were broken up by the Italian defense and 130 prisoners captured. Tonals is just north of La Busazza. where the Italians recently gained a dominating height and Vermiglic valley passed through it. The remainder of the Italian front is quiet.

Archie Wagoner Tells of Germany's Needs (BY ARCHIE WAGOMAN) Germany needs missionaries. There is a great need of missionaries in Germany. The people go to church but as soon as it is over they have forgotten all that was said. They do not worship the living God, but the Kaiser is an idol which is respected

above all things. The Kaiser thinks himself more powerful than God. In France and Belgium thousands of women and children have been and are being killed by the Kaiser's army. He has his mind on money and territory or he would not have started this great war, which he knows he cannot successfully carry through. If Germany was a religious country she would not ask the most barbarous countries of the world, Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria, to help her. Turkey has been killing Christians for thousands of years. The Germans who come across to America make liquor or something that they might assume the people's money. Most of the saloon keepers of today are Germans. For these reasons Germany needs missionaries.

Former School Head Here Returns for a Visit

Prof. J. A. Zeller, of Citronelle. Ala. who was superintendent of the city schools here from 1S81 to 1885, is visiting his brother Joseph Zeller on North Ninth street. Zeller has been in Alabama for seventeen years, but has visited Richmond at different times since leaving here. He was here three years ago for a short visit. Prof. Zeller is the uncle of Mrs. David Dennis, who is now in China. He will visit here for two or three weeks, taking a few trips to neighboring towns around here.

Abington Registrants to Assist in Campaign ABINGTON. Ind., June 15. The Abington Township Registered Men's club has appointed the following committee to co-operate with J. C.

The committee will report the result of its work at the next regular meeting.

German Check Temporary; Fresh Attacks Expected (By Associated Press.) PARIS, June 15 Despite a slight advance, the German offensive, commenced June 9, will prove to have been a heavy check to the enemy, says Henry Bidou in the Journal des Debats. Continuing he says: "It is evident that the enemy's objectives were undoubtedly Compiegne and the Villers-Cotterets line in order to reach beyond the forest on the left wing and obtain a base for future operations against Paris. There is no doubt that the battle may be considered one lost by the enemy, the Germans having only the doubtful satisfaction of a slight advance, in the center for which precious divisions were sacrificed ruthlessly. The check, however, is merely momentary. We must expect the Germans to make other attempts, as they are in a great hurry to reach their goal, which owing to decreased forces and shortening time appears as far away as ever.

PEOPLE HURLED TO GROUND BY BLAST

(By Associated Press.) AMSTERDAM, June 15. Much damage was caused in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital by an explosion in the munitions works there on June 8, says the Local Anzeiger of Berlin. There were twelve big explosions and several smaller ones, lasting from 10 o'clock in the morning until late in the afterncon. The biggest explosion occured at 11 o'clock, when people standing on the ramparts at Petcherak were hurled to the ground. Shells fell in all directions over the city. The Svjerinetz cathedral collapsed like a pack of cards. Houses were blown over and the streets turned into smouldering masses of debris, while the neighborhood of the munitions plant was a sea of fire. The Toiskl convent was destroyed.

that the decision of the American naval authorities in sending ships

3,000 or more miles across the Atlantic to defend American interests represents a unique triumph of a fundamental strategic principle. The naval historian when his time comes to write, will not be blind to this notable action and there seems no doubt he will be able to add that the navy department was supported wholeheartedly by public opinion. "And that reminds me tcemphasize the fact that object of the Germans in sending submarine to the American coast to sink shipping was to weaken the concordant betwen expert . and civil opinion in the United States! On that matter there is no shadow of doubt." "Have Been Splendid." "They came on the scene at the opportune moment. Our men had been in the mill for many weary months. Possibly the American people,, so far removed from the main theater of the war, can hardly appreciate what it meant when these American officers and men crossed the Atlantic. "They have been splendid, simply splendid. I have seen a number of the destroyers and conversed with a large number of officers. I also have had many reports and am not speaking of the aid the United States has rendered without full knowledge. "Not only are the vessels well constructed and the officers and men thoroughly competent, but the organization was admirable. It was no slight matter for many ships to come 3,000 miles, across the Atlantic to fight in European waters. The decision raised several complicated problems in connection with supplies, but those problems have been surmounted with success. There has never been anything like it before in the history of naval warfare and the development of the steam engine has rendered such co-operation more difficult than ever before because the modern man-of-war, independent on a constant stream of supplies of fuel, stores, food and other things and is in need of frequent repairs. Will Not Affect Transports. "This submarine business will not have any effect on a transport movement, which, judged from the standpoint of a seaman, has no parallel In history. A year ago the enemy was boasting that his submarines would prevent American troops being moved to Europe. I do not know
