BRITISH AVIATOR FLIES UP MAIN STREET OF HUN CITY Bombs Z Zeppelin § Shed, Escapes Unscratched |} Intrepid Flyer Swoops to Within Fifty Feet of Ground; German Farmer Who Waves Greeting at Him Only Person He Sees. (By Newspaper Enterprise Ass’n.) The story has been told for the first time of how an intrepid Britis ator flew down the main street of a German city in the dead of night and escaped without a scratch. A fleet of British airplanes was launched off the northwest coast of Schleswig-Holstein from the “mystery ship,” which has given the HU much cause for worry. Its object was to destroy the Zeppelin sheds Tondern, in. Schleswig. In the small hours of the morn- ing the aviators sailed over the Ger- man coast. Captain Dixon, a very young officer, arrived at the city of Tondern in th gray dawn and came down to within 50 feet of the ground in his search for the Zeppelin hangars. U. S. Can Bankrupt Whole By MILTON BRONN N. E. A. Stal? Correspondent. Washington Sept. 3.—If Uncle Sam is so minded, he could throw all the allied world into bankruptcy. The reason is not that he has loaned them sums of money approximating in their staggering total what Great Britain loaned. the allies before we got into the game, but the form which the obligations take. It Is generally supposed that when this government ‘extends financial credits to our allies, some paper is given which contains not only a defi- nite promise to pay, but also names a specific distant date upon which pay- ment will be made. This is untrue. Each of the allies promises to pay Uncle Sam UPON DEMAND. Never before in the history of the world was such a stupendous sum promised back to the lender upon demand. The sum is now $6,692,040,000, divided as lows: Great Britain, $3 ; France, $2,065,000,000; Italy, $760, 000, 000; Russia, $325,000,000; | Belgium, It’s the lasting quality andrich tobacco taste that makes Real Gravely Chewing ‘Plug cost you no more to chew than Peyton Brand Real Gravely Chewing Plug 10c a P.
