French airman threw nine bombs on 4
certain small village. No troops were

a hospital. which was plainly marked
No damage of consequence was done.
''In reply to this aerial attack. and
also the throwing of the bombs on Erie
burg, which is not defended and is out.
side the zone of operations, German
airmen threw medium -sized bombs into
the outskirts of Nancy"
The activity of the German airmen
has been very pronounced during the
last few days. On Friday n German
aeroplane attempted n raid on London
and had reached within twenty miles
Of the British capital when 1t was
driven back. On the preceding day
another German flyer made n similar
attempt.
The German who attempted the Lon
don raid on Christmas Day is believed
to have perished. The lighthouse
keeper at Kentish Knock, northeast OF
the mouth OF the Thames reported to-
day he had seen an aeroplane fall into
the waters of the North Sea about a
mile from his light during Friday
afternoon. The circumstance of the
report from the British Eunners that
they were confident they had hit the
German machine. taken in connection
with the timo of the aeroplane's re-
ported fall into the sea. leads to the
belief that the venturesome flyer paid
for his auda city with his life.
