Berlin, Sept. 15, via London, 11:25 a. m.—Count Von Reventlow, the naval writer, replies in the Tages Zeitung today to British criticisms of German airship raids over London. He states that London is a fortress and that Sir Percy Scott, the newly appointed defender of the city from aerial attacks, should order the civil population of London to depart. The count asscrts that Germany is not responsihle for the fact that the fortress of London, attacked many times, has not been evacuated, and states that the failure of the British goverament to order the people to abandon it shows ‘“disdainful disre- gard of the principles of humanity, civilization and international law. The airship attacks, Count Von Reventlow, are legal and of a purely military character, aimed at the de- struction of vessels, wharves, maga- zines and other property serving war purposes, directly or indirectly. As- serting that against such operations not one syllable can be spoken, he concludes: “We hope confidently that the saying ‘Throwing bombs on Lon- don,” will soon he as trite as the phrase: ‘Carrying coals to Newcastle,” witih the notable difference, however, that in Newecastle there are coals enough while in London by far too few German bombs have thus far ex- pleded.” AGAINST SWINDLERS State Officials Will Convene and Plan To Protect Investors. ' Topeka, Kas, Sept. 15.—On Oc- tober 21-22, according to plans just announced, state officials charged with the duty of pratecting investors from stock swindlers will meet in national convention. The call was issued today by S. T. Seaton of the Kansas Blue Sky department. Efforts also are being made to bring the secretaries of state here for formal arganization on the same day. Thirty states now have blue sky laws, and the purpose of the conven- tion is to work for uniform state laws to protect the public against stock swindlers and to frame a fed {al law which will not conflict with state laws. FOOD PROSECUTION. Department of Agriculture Announces Successes. ‘Washington, Sept. 15.—The de- partment of agriculture announced successful prosecutions under the food and drug act today, stating that “offi- cials charged with enforcement of the law are of the opinion that the evils of the patent medicine business can be stopped only by the most drastic action.” U More than fifiv cases have been ter- minated under the Sherley amend- ment to the law prohibiting false and fraudulent claims of the curative ef- fects of rmedicines. Criminal prose- cutions were brought in twenty-five cases, and. in thirty-one others the products were seized. APPLE CROP. Scandinavian and South American Markets Develop. Washington, Sept. 15.—The nation’s increasing apple crop may be most profitably marketed through co- operative organizations, according to a survey of conditions issued today by the department of agriculture. Tniformity in packing and adequate distribution, it was pointed out, were zdvantages to be gained by the system. War did not have the bad effect upon apple exports that have been feared. Consumption was stimulated by low prices, shipments were made direct to Scandinavian markets for the first time, and South American trade was developed. READY FOR RACE. Two Yachts Start on 214 Mile Stretch For Cape May Cup. New York, Sept. 15.—Two of the largest schooner yachts in the warld, the Katoura, owned by Robert E. Tod, and the Atlantic, owned by James Cox and Nicholas F. Brady were ready to start today on a 214 mile race for the Cape May challenge cup. The cup is now held by the Katcura and has been raced for since 1872. The course was from Ambrose Channel lightship to Five Fathom lightship off Cape May, N. J., and re- turn.

C,, Sept. 15.—The acting secretary of agriculture has signled a regulation.requiring that aft- er February 1, 1916, all imports of raw cotton must be fumigated at the port of entry before it can be released by the custom officials. The purpose of this is to make certain that the pink bollworm found in Egyptian and other imported cotton, and other destructive cotton insects found abroad shall not be introduced into American cotton fields. The danger from the pink bollworm is especial- ly great, as this insect may infest seed left accidentally in the bale through faulty ginning. If this seed should become mixed with seed used for | planting, or be planted accidentally | near growing cotton, the pink boll- worm might get a foothold and ¢ause the great damage in this country that it dves in foreign cotton fields. Fumigate Whole Bales. Fumigation is required after a thorough study and after hearings on the subject by the department, which establish clearly that hydrocy- anic acid gas, properly used, will kill all insects in the bale without dam- aging the auality of the cotton. The derartment ‘has worked out a meth- od whereby whole bales can be fu- migated in a vacuum tank quickly and without danger to the operators. The requirement of fumigation will be in addition to the previous regu- lation still in force, which requires that all mills vsing foreign cotton screen their buildings completely and burn all seed found in the for- eign balcs. Text of Regulation. The text of the regulation which is effective on or after February 1, 1916 is as follows: Cotton fmported from countries which do not maintain cotton inspec- tion and certification will be delivered to the permittee for disinfection, upon the filing with the collector of customs of a bond in the amount of $5,000, or in an amount equal to the invoice value of the cotton if such value be less than $5,000, with ap- proved sureties, conditioned upon dis- infection of the cotton, under the su- pervisicn of an inspector of the de- partment of agriculture, and upon the re-delivery of the cotton to the col- lector of customs within forty days froma arrival of the same at the port of entry, nor shall any bale or other container of the cotton be broken for opened for sampling, until a writ- | [ ten notice is given to the collector of customs by an inspector of the de- partment of agriculture that the cot- ton has been properly disinfected. TAKES BULLET FROM HEART. Process of Removing Shrapnel Des- cribed to French Surgeons. Paris, Sept. 15, 5:30 a. m.—Means by which he extracted a shrapnel bullet from the right auricle of a French soldier’s heart were described ta the Academy of Medicine last night by Dr. Charles Infroit. This surgical feat was accomplished by the use of a radiographic compass invent- ed by the surgeon. This instrument enables the opera- tor to locate foreign bodies in the tissues with mathematical precision and permits their extraction without injury to the neighboring organs, Dr. Infroit told his colleagues. FIND BODY Newtown, Sept. 15.—The body of William Honan, aged 19, who disap- peared from home Labor day, and was traced to Taunton Lake where it was thought he went fishing from a boat, was found in the water to- day by Wiliam B.

Then on Arms. ltched So Would Scratch, Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment, In Three Weeks Healed. 68 Poplar St., Boston, Mass.—*“My trouble began with pimples spreading on my arms. They were very reddish and they itched so that I began to scratch them and that caused eruption. They first came on my face and they were so red and disfigur- ing and my face itched so at night that T would scratch them until they became Dleeding. I would get to bed about nine o'clock and fall asleep about twelve. *“I used remedies and creams but fn the morning they would be worse. After about five or six weeks I saw the Cuticura adyer- tisement in the paper. I used the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment threo wecks and T was completely healed. The trouble was gone.” (Signed) I.

In the middle of the service it was announced that Mr. ‘Wanamaker was ill and could not be there. No confirmation of the report could be obtained at the Wanamaker residence. Servants were able only to say that Mr. Wanamaker, who cele- brated his seventy-eighth birthday a few weeks ago, had been spending a few days at his cottage at Atlantic City. Later is was positively denied that Mr. Wanamaker is ill. BALIL PLAYERS TO DINE, The managers and players of Fraternal league will hold a Thursday evening, September 23, in Bardeck’s hall.

Paris, Sept. 15, 5:25 a. m.—An Italian engineer, Rota, solved the problem of holding an ob- ject motionless in space, according to the Marseilles correspondent of the Rota is credited with having constructed an appaatus which, by the action of electric cur- rents, can be elevated to a height of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet and kept motionless or propelled in any direc- tion ut a speed of more than 100 miles an hour. Rota’s apparatus is spindle-shaped, twelve feet long and two feet in di- ameter, and can carry a weight of 90 pounds. It is said to remain mo- tionless in a wind of considerable vel- ocity, but if the wind becomes very strong it rises automatically until it reaches a calmer region of the air.
