THE DESCRIBES LONDON ATTACK FROM SKY Observer Tells of Losses of Life and Injuries Caused by Bombs SOME ARE KILLED OUTRIGHT LONDON, Sept. 18.—An officlal description of some of the effects of the last Zeppelin rald upon the Lon- don district, written by an observer at the request of the home secretary, Bir John Simon, and fssued tonight fer publication follows: “Here are a few pictures of the pffeets accomplished by the officers and erew of the last air ship which yisited the London district. Some- where in London there is a little ptreet with & public house at the serner, “Qutside it Wednesday evening, after the place was closed, a man and & woman stood talking. While the weman went away to buy supper, the man waited for her and there fell at his feet the first explosive bemba, Killed Man Outright, "Fhey killed the man outrixht and blew pleces of the paving stones onto sur- Founding roofs. They blew in the front pf the public house, reducing the stoo o & mass of broken glass. On the floo: above they twisted an |njuring & woman who was sleeping thers and reduced what had been the carefilly iron bedstead, | Car Stolen While | Iowa People Shop| Less than five minutes after Mr. and| Mrs. H. Ploghoft and Mr. and Mrs. Everett Carson, Elliott, Ia., had left thelr Ford car at Fifteenth and Douglas streets yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock to make & short shopping tour, the automobile was stolen by unidentified parties. All the wraps and hats of the two couples were taken by the smeak thieves. Friends from Rillott happened to be visiting in Omaha and met the hatless and coatless parties and were kind enough to give them a ride home. Police are looking tor the car and the thieves. DISPUTE WHETHER LOAN IS FOR SHELLS Anglo-French Commission and Some American Bankers Insist It Cover War Supplies. OTHER FINANCIERS SAYING NO NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The Anglo-French financial commission- ers, who are seeking to establish a mammoth credit loan here, and | American financters, who expect to supply the money, were reported to be at odds tonight over the burning | question of including munitions of | war among exports to be paid for by | he proceeds of the loan. | On several detalls of the loan, the | | commission and bankers have agreed | kept living rooms of a small family to a| but on this major question, it was mass of soot, dust, plaster and broken sald, their views are diametrically glass. “In another part of the area over which the airship passed there Is a blg block pf workmen's dwellings which are growded day and night with children. A bomb dropped on the roof. “Directly under the roof was a little fiat in which four children had thelr gleeping quarters. After belng put to bed $wo of them got up secretly to make tea in an adjoining room. ““The bed they left mow Is a mass of gharred and blackened sheets, with the mattress torn to pleces, They escaped by a miracle, but In a small bedroom ad- jolning the other two children were in- stantly killed. Tarn Worses Loowe, At another place an Incendlary bomb dropped through the roof of & stable and fired a motor car Into which It fell. The stableman and his wife, In spite of the fire which immediately became serious turned loose eleven horses' which were in the stable. A watch dog also was rescued, as was a caged bird kept on the first floor above the fire, although while bringing it down stairs the stableman’s wife was blown off her feet by the ex- plosion of a bomb In & nelghbering eousrt yard, ““The only casualty in this ease was a bantam rooster, “Bomewhere in Londen's suburbe’ theve 15 a little biock of houses almest by ft- welf, divided into small flats, Om th _‘mund floor there were sleoping a widew, her ih-year-old daughter and o man lodgen, “On the first floor there was a family of three ohlidren, two of ‘them girls, and en the second floer a workingman, his wife, four girls and one boy, A bemb dropped squarely on the reof, Wall Glves Away, “As the laborer and his wifs, whe were on the sscond floor, described it, the whele partition wall beaide thelr bed gave way and disappeared, The man shoved his wife inte the ocenter ef the| »™™ réom and went to find the children, ‘““Twe of them, who slept In a reem under the spet where the bomb fell, van- fshed with the roem and everything in it. Their bedles were found twe days later under the- debris. Of the others, a bey of 8 ran for safety to a staircase, which had been blown away, and in the dark fell into the hele where his sisters’ bodies were buried In the ruina, ‘“The bodies of two of the eecupants of the first floor later were recovered, but the worst effects of the bemb were felt on the ground floer. Part ef the body of the man who ocoupled it was found 160 yards away, Nine Are Killed, “A bemb, which was drepped in & street, blew in the front ef a shop, but spent its main force en a passing weter bus, on which twenty persens were rid- ing, including the driver and cenduetos Nine of them were killed and eleven In- Jured. The driver's legs wore blown eff and he died in a hospital, “These incidents alene, which aecceunt for nearly half the deaths, will suffice to show what was the natusre of the suc- cess attending the attack upon London. The net results of the week's railds upon | the Lenden district were thirty-eight killed or died of wounds, and 124 injured. Two policemen and one army service cerps man were among the victims, but no other person in uniform was killed| er injured. THURSTON FAIR TO WAIT KING CORN’S PLEASURE WALTHILE, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special.)— The Thursten county fair, which was to have been held here this week, has been postpened by order of the board of directors until the first week In October The action was taken because of the un- favorable season delaying the maturing of the corm erop several weeks so that ;oppunod. Further it developea to- | night there is an apparent split on |the question In the ranks of the!' American financiers, The commission's attitude. se far as it can be Interpreted, from a canvass of | such bankers conferring with it today, as would talk, is that the big credit, whether a billion dollars or less, should provide | funds for ‘all exports and that munitions | of war ocertainly should be included. Some U. 8. Bankers Say Yen. | Some American bankers think so, too, {but & great many are sald to be of the {opinfon that the loan should cover only commodity exports, such as wheat, cot- ton and manufactured products and that another method must be found to pay for | munitions of war, even If this method In- | | volves the shipment of huge stocks of | | €0ld across the Atlantlo to the United | States. The situation has not reached the acute stages of a deadlock nor anything ap- proaching it, but the line of demarca- tion is clear and well defined. Many hours, It became known tonight, have been passed in discussing this single is- sue and many more, it was thought, {would follow in similar discussion be- | fore it ls decided, A minor point of variance between the commission and some American bankers is the role that Russia {s playing in the participation of the loan. The commission, although acting officially only for Great Britain and Prance, is popularly be- lMeved to contemplate including Russ ln‘ its plans, too. Authority for such inclus- {fon, it 1s thought, would follow the forth- ocoming conference at London among the ‘Russian and French finance ministers | and the British chancellor of the ex- chequer. Want to Deal with Russia. But some American bankers want to deal direct with Russia and object, it is reported, to having it obtain money In this country through England and noe. A third point of dlsagreement, subor- | dinate to either of the others, concerns the rate of interest. | "It the commission’s callers have cor- | rectly reflected its views In their talks | with newspaper men, Great Britain and | France are emphatio tn their assertion | that the proposed bonds shall not pay | more than 6 per cent Interest and there | will be no underwriting of the issue. | This would eliminate the possibility that any group of bankers would be paid fat | fees to place the loan on the market here. The return to the banker and the investor, it is reported, is to be the same. As to this proposal, it is underltood.i the American bankers generally have been won over., Here and there, however, | a voice of dissent is heard. In some quar- | ters a return of one-half of 1 per cent| to the bankers is regarded as no more | than due But it is almost unanimously belloved that the commission has firmly determined that London and Paris shall | be put to mo greater expenss than & stralght 6 per cent Interest rate, beyond a moderate sum for clerical aid in dls- tributing the big lssue here. Instead of using underwriters, it was ! thought tonight, the fssue would be placed through a syndicate, which would | subscribe to the loan and that subscrip- tion would be open to all comers upon | equal terms. | Thus the smallest of the approximate 22,000 national and state banks and trust | companies throughout the United States | would secure exactly the same terms as the largest or as any great private bank- ing firm, such as J. P. Morgan & Co. | Buch, it is reported, is the present in- | tention of the commission. If this pro- gram be followed, there are indications, amounting almost to posttive assurance, it was sald, that the so-called. pro-Ger- man financlers of New York would, for the most part, subscribe millions of dol- lars toward the project, always with the MINISTER JAGOW Visit Presumably Made in Conneo- tion with Situation Regarding Sinking of Arabio. FEELING HOPEFUL IN BERLIN BERLIN, (Via London), Sept. 18, —James W, Gerard, the American ambassador to Germany, today at noon called on Dr. Gottlleb von Jagow, foreign minister, presumably in connection with the situation sur- rounding the sinking of the White Star line steamer, Arabic, by a Ger- man submarine and the opening of NS OMAHA SUNDAY GERARD CALLS ON negotiations on the submarine prob- lem. No definite information is ob- tainable, however, concerning the subjects dealt with. Nothing can be learned here whichi goes to confirm the statement made in Washington dispatches that it was the intention to open conver- | sations between the two countries on the submarine situation, but officlals assume that the news is correct and express the belief that the ditficul- ties between the United States and Germany would be on a better way to settlement by such a method. Difference In viewpolnts, which ‘are only stiffened when lald down in formal notes, can, it is generally belleved, by the officlals, be more easily adjusted in informal conversations and all the more 50, they say, because the fundamental differences of policy have largely dls- appeared under the new instructions re- LR L AN Sarding attacks on passenge: steamers. The United States and Germany, It is Qeclared, appear to be now In substan- tial agresment on the principle involved and ft 1s now largely & question of ad- Justing cases like the Arablo in con- formity with that prineiple. Germany, Ita belleved here, will be ready to consider testimony bearing on the points of how far the captain of the submarine was justified in his bellef that the Arablo was bent on attacking the submarine snd in conversations it will have the opportunity to satisty the American government that its policy and practice under present conditions will harmonise in the future. NELIGH WOMAN'S SPINE INJURED BY MOTOR NELIGH, Neb., Bept. 17.—(Special Tele- gram)—Mrs. Willlam Doehse was run down an automobile here today and her spine was dislocated. She will be taken to an Omaha hospital for treat- ment. The streets were crowded with people In for the county falr, and she was cross- Ing the street with her baby in her arms and became confused. Aa the machine struck her, she had presence of mind enough to throw her baby In the olear, but the machine passed over her body Dbefore it could be stopped.
