Aeronautical experts are OF the opin-
I ion, from the size of the bombs
/ Weighing from sixty to 100
pounds each, that airships of the
small. rigid parsefal type were em-
ployed and as the German official ac-
count refers to "airships" II Is pre-
sumed these were the craft used. They
can be built more quickly than Yep

Insurance Rates Go Up.
AS consequence Of the raid the ln-
slrance rate against damage by air
craft were doubled today and Is now
more than so 60 60 shillings per hun
dred. A large business was done even
at the high rates.
The battles both In the east and
the west now consist largely Of artil-
lery engagements with occasional at
tacks by the infantry. The French
claim to have made further progress
In the region Of Pont-a-M -Mousson TO
which military men attach much im-
portance. 1t Is predicted that the
Germans will launch heavy often
sive as they did with great success
at Solssons to put a stop to the
French advance towards the roads
leading to Metz. The Germans cap
tured more trenches in the Argonne
but, according 10 the French official
report, these were retaken.
The only other point OF import
ance disclosed by official statements
Is an intimation in the Berlin COM
munication that the Germans have
undertaken a counter-offensive in Al

Operations I'm East.
In Poland and western Galicia the
Germans and Austrians continue iso-
lated attacks on the Russian lines
which, according to the Russian re-
port, have been repulsed with heavy
losses TO the attacking forces The
Russians are advancing slowly
through the mountains separating
Bukowina and Transylvania, and are
approaching Dorna- Wntra. a town Of
some importance near the Rumanian
border.
As for the Turkish Caucasian
army, It Is believed 1t will not retire
to Erzerum. but viii be put in readi-
ness for defense against the Russians
when they decide to advance. 1t IL
considered likely. however, that the
Russians will be content for the
present, with the successes already
gained in this region and turn their
attention to the Turkish forces In
