London. June 5.-Hostile airships
dropped bombs on the east and south
east coasts of England last night. Lit
tie damage was done and the casualties
apparently were few.
The bombs were thrown at a num-
ber of different places. which as yet
have not been enumerated. This in
formation is contained in an official
statement given out here today.
The German air raid on the coasts
of England last night, coupled with the
usual week END activity of German
submarines, are the war developments
of the last twelve hours which are TO-
day holding public attention. DISCUS
sons of the fall of Przemysl have been
laid aside for matters nearer home.
Little is known as yet Of the extent
of the aerial attack but 1t does not
seem to have done much damage or
been costly in lives.
Facts Suppressed.
The Star says:
"As on the occasion OF Zeppelin
raid, the papers have been forbidden TO
publish details Of places visited or
damage done. The natural results OK
these raids have been the spreading oil
many rumors. which we are glad TO
say are mainly without foundation.
.The safety Of the country is the su-
preme consideration and 1t is regarded
by the authorities as necessary that no
hints shall be given Of the localltles
reached by the raiders or the amount
of damage done.
1T is very satisfactory to report tnat
there was not the shadow OF panic
in London this morning. Millions Nol
Londoners never heard OF the visit. II
! panic was the object OF the adventure
LIT has once more failed completely.
Submarines Busy.
German submarines have been very
| busy during the last few days In the
North sea, and in the Bristol Chan !
mel. Ten vessels have been attacked
in the last three days with little loss
except in the case OF the trawler VIC
toria. four members of the crew OF this
boat and boy passenger having falien
victims to shells fired by the attacking
submarine.
The biggest capture Of the Germans
was the $4,000 ton Liverpool steamer
Inkum. Another important victim was
the Carrn liner Iona, erroneously re-
ported at first as the Wilson line
steamer Of the same name. The other
ships sent to the bottom by the Ger
mans included. In addition to several
trawlers, four neutral ships, two Dan
ish. one Norwegian and one Swedish
The steam drifter Ena May. Of Peter
| head: the trawler Strathdam. and the
signaling ship George and Mary all
have heen sent to the bottom by Ger
| man submarines. The crews OF al
three ships were saved.
Russians Still Falling Back.
| The Austro- German forces have
| pushed their salient as far as Tukhla
| which is some distance northeast ol
! Przemysl. Notwithstanding the evacu-
alton Of this fortress, the Russians
! have maintained an unbroken fighting
front on both sides Of the railroad &c
Lenberg Thus far the Austrians anc
Germans apparently. have made little
progress since the taking of Przemys!
| altho an Austrian official report states
| that the Russians have been driver
| east to the vicinity Of Medyka-
British and French reports indicate
hard fighting on the western from
without much prestige for either side
The Belgian frontier has again beer
closed to traffic This tends to con-
firm reports that the Germans are
moving heavy reinforcements to theil
| positions along the User canal.

rested and had made confession.
