Assault of the Flying Graft on Many English Towns, Late at Night, Demonstrates Abil- fly of Germans to Cross the Channel Without Fear

London, Jan 204With the knowledge that the Ger aerial raiders who last night dropped bombs at wilt over English towns made good their escape without
 much being hit by English gunners, the United Knig dom is today greater unrest than at time since he outbreak of hostilities
 That the Germans make successful aerian des-E cent upon England at will, demonstrated last ng The speculation to where the next attack Ibe made, when If the German airmen wish nothing prevent attack upon London but the hazr of the long flight and this the English office noWs lis not insur1nountable obstacle.
 German delivered their long predicted attack lon England last night From base presumably in Ger
 many they flew the North the of England where, nearly hours from $40 P. M until about midnight they circled group of soe fsix English towns only little than 100 miles from London, apparently dropping bombs at will.
 So far has been learned today four persons were killed by these missiles and about many wounded.
 Whether these airships Zeppelin dirigble bal looms aeropanes has yet been definitely estaBs Ie There increasing belief London today that pos sbl only aeroplanes took part the attack. There been far today confirm the report current last night that Zeppelin had been brought down the English coasts the contrary, it appears though the raiders returned whence they came. The important towns which the Germans lappeared were sandrngham Yarmouth sherlnghan, Hunstanton, Gromer, Heacham Dersingham and King Iynn. King George had left Sandringham only few hours before the Gernans visited it.
 Most of the da1nage Inflicted appears have been in private houses and shops; few public buildings seem to have been injured
 The raiding airnen showed excellent ability to pilot their vessels we'll good craftsmanship In spite oft the darkness of the night they seemed to find their way country with remarkable drecnessl and the euracy their with bombs greater than generally had been believed possible.

 So far as is known only two persons a man and a woman, were killed here. It so happened that most of the in~ hab1tants were indoors when the raid9 occurred.
 The whole thing was quickly over and fortunately no fires broke out In. any part of the town. The first inn. pulse of the townspeople was to rush out of doors but many, on; finding that. the alarm was an air attack by the; Germans, quickly returned to their homes and took refuge in the base, ments.

 From the sea to the Sommes in the region of Newport, there was syssferdsry a fsslr9y spirited artillery enlargement in the course of which the enemy eudeavored in vain to de- stroy our bridge at the mouth of the Yser In the meantime we were successful in demoIfshing a portion of his defense at this point; also we were successful at the Union Farm near St. Georges, where the enemy Ind strongly organized his positions

 Hartford. Jan. 20.-The General As sembly will not be without it's regular struggle over the dental law. Senator F.

Congregation Crushed

Rome, Jan. 20-Next to Avezzano, one of the places to suffer most from the earthquake was Ortucchio, a. few miles from Gioja-De-M where less than 400 people were saved out of a population of 2,500. In the church, which was a large edifice, there were between 3 and hundred people when the earthquake came. The priest and the entire congregation were imprisoned under the ruins and only four women have been rescued.
 At Collarmele, 5000 feet up in the mountains, a. thousand persons out of 9. population of 1,500 were killed. The priest in this town perished while conducting services at the altar, and the worshipperss chiefly women and children, died with him. The sur vivors at Cal1arme1e are sheltered in the railway station.
 London, Jan. 2o-A despatch from Lausanne, Switzerland,s to the Central News states that a slight earthquake occurred at Berne and Zurich last night. The damage was triflfng.

The approximate times of the visit of the hostile airship to the several towns in Norfolk are as fol1oWs: Tar mouth 8:20 F. M.;; Cromer, $40: Hunstanton. 10 F. M' Heacham' 10:30; Dersingham. I0:49. and Kings Lynn, II P. M
 The streets of Kings Lynn are this morning virtually paved with glass and souvenir hunters have been picking up pieces of bombs.
 An outstanding feature of the rald appears to have been the skill with which the German airmen, in the darkness, followed their route and dropped bombs in the vicinity of King Georges house at Sandringham and Queen Mother A1exandra'se bung- allow at snettisham, as well as at the the docks. waterw orl1s and railroad. sta tion here and at the Grimston Am munition Depot.
 According to the police the raid CTS cire1ed twice over Kings Lynn and dropped bombs in the neighbor- hood of the railroad station and the docks. Three missiles fell close to the station and wrecked the sheds in which the royal road. coaches were housed. # One or more bombs were dropped along the waterfront among the docks and damage was inflicted on the hydraulic engine house.
 The dense darkness and the slight mist which prevented effective pur- suit of or successful shooting at the raiders also R1fndered them in their eff forts to reach some of their apparent obieetives or to aim their bombs with the maximum Accuracy Thus the visit to Sandringham, which King George and Queen Mary left at ten O. clock yesterday morning, was not effective although some bombs were dropped in the vicinity of the royal residence.
 The casualty list at Kings Lynn. SO far as is known this morning, is two persons killed and four injured. TheS were all in a group of houses on Ben tinck street which was wrecked goy one bomb. The police are still search ing the ruins
 The casualties at Yarmouth are two killed and one Injured. There is still i a difference of opinion here as to whe ther the German raiders came in Zeppelins or aeroplanes.
