A cable dispatch which appeared in this paper yester
day contained one phrase that may suggest something aw
ful. This message came from Berlin and stated that a
Zeppelin had attacked “the fortress of London.” The
words in quotation marks are the significant ones. Since
the war began we have heard the disputes in relation to
attacking unfortified towns, and Germany, to make at
tacks on London appear justifiable, has over and over
again stated that the fortifications established recently
near London and in it and around it place it in the forti
fied citv class.
*
Within the past few days the messages from outside
have told us that Germany is now preparing with giant
airships to attack that city and Paris and the many at
tacks on English territory in the past week or so indicate
an intention to carry on a great campaign from the air.
And now comes from Berlin the phrase “fortress of Lon
don/’ Is it meant to prepare the mind of the world to re
gard London as a fortress so that when the time comes an
attack on the great city will be regarded as rightful war
tare:
The human imagination can hardly conceive what
might be the result of such an attack. If those new Zep
pelins can, as stated, carry fifty tons of explosives each
and could drop them in the heart of London what an ap
palling catastrophe might come. There are times in that
eitv when the crowds in the streets are so dense that one
%
is almost carried away by them like a flood. Try to im
agine the effect of tons of high explosives bursting
amongst them. And then try to imagine London at the
same time set afire in scores of places. No matter how
one’s sympathies might lie with respect to the war there
is no one who could contemplate such a prospect without
feeling of horror. It can hardly be possible that hell is
about to be let loose on earth.
Just now Nome people and the people of another city
not so far away are beginning to think of the day that is
fast approaching when ice will come and navigation will
be at an end. People in Seward can hardly realize how
blessed they are in this respect without having had the ex
perience of the other conditions.
HERE’S WHY HER SKIRTS
COST SO MUCH—STYLES
CHANGE OFTEN AS HER MIND
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, August 14.—Here’s why
her skirts cost so much: Skirt styles
change twelve times a year—a skirt
beason lusts but one month.
In days of yore there were only four
stfirt seasons to the year, but never
again.
Chicago skirt manufacturers told
this secret when they explained at
Bismarck gardens, where Chicago
Garment Manufacturers are holding
their fall style, show that “just now
we are making plaid .skirts in browns
and greens, but we don't know what
we will be doing next month.”
The manufacturers explained that
the style of a woman’s skirt changes
more rapidly than anything else ex
cept a woman's mind.
The skirts this season are a little
longer than a month ago and a little
fuller. The most popular ones arc
draped tunic effects.
