YARMOUTH AND KING'SLYNN
SUFFER HEAVIEST DAMAGE
German Avators Dropped Twenty Bombs Killing -Four Persons
lnjning Ten or More and Doing Considerable Damage
to Property-lnslnance Rate Doubles.

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-The German
a'rships-tor they are thus described
by the German official report-whicl
paid four hours visit to the coas
towns OF Norfolk last night, dropped
20 or more bombs. The raiders mis-
siles killed four persons, injured 10 ol
more others and did considerable dam
age to property. The report that {
fifth person, a soldier, had been killed
proved incorrect.
Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, the larg
est towns visited, suffered the heaviest
damage. Eight bombs were dropped
in the former town, one of them killed
an old man and an old woman, iniur
ing three others and smashing every
window within radius of several hun.
dred yards
In Kings Lynn woman and a boy
were killed by bombs which demolish.
ed a row of cottages.
Ihe aircraft also visited Cromer.
which, however, was not attacked :
Sheringham, where four bombs were
dropped; Dersingham, Grimston, Snet-
tlsham and Heacham, each of which
received one missile. Shettisham and
Heacham, are within three miles of
the kings Sandringham residence.
Near the former place, where the win
dows of the village church were shat
tered, Queen Mother Alexandra has
a summer bungalow.
What composed the raiding fleet is
still matter of discussion. Major
Ashley, who commands the national re-
serve at Kings Lynn, says as the re-
suit OF information received by him.
he will report officially that one of
the latest Zeppelin dirigibles took part,
some persons assert they saw huge
but other say only aeroplanes
ana seaplanes participated.
Aeronautical experts are of the opin.
ion, from the size of the bombs which
were dropped-weighing from so to 100
pounds each-that airships of the
small non-rigid Parseval type were en-
ployed and as the German official ac-
count refers to "airships," it is pre-
5umed these were the craft used. They
ean be built more quickly than the
leppelins but are slower and carry
esS ammunition.

4 Whether by coincidence or because
the French and British authorities had
knowledge of the enterprise. more
stringent regulations as to lighting
went into effect last night, both in
Paris and London
| AS consequence of the raid, the
insurance rate against damage by air
craft was doubled today and is now
from 80 to 60 shillings per cent. A
large business was done even at those
high rates
! The battles, both in the east and
west, now consist largely of artillery
engagements with occasional attacks
by infantry. The French claim to have
made further progress in the region
OF Ponta-Mousson, to which military
men attach much importance. 1t is
predicted that the Germans will launch
heavy offensive, as they did with
great success at Sossons, to nut a
stop to the French advance toward the
roads leading to Metz. The Germans
captured more trenches in the Argonne
district but, according to the French
offlclal report these trenches were re-
taken.
The only other point of importance
disclosed by the official statements is
an 1ntlmatiOn in the Berlin communica-
ton that the Germans have undertake
en- counter offensive in Alsace.
In Poland and Western Gaica the
Germans and Austrians continue iso-
lated attacks against the Russian lines,
which, according to the Russian report,
have been repulsed with heavy losses
to the attacking forces. The Russians
are advancing slowly through noun
tains separating Bukowina and Tran
sylvania, and are approaching Dorna
Watra, a town of some Importance
near the Rumanian border.
AS for the Turkish Caucasian army, !.
it is believed it will not retre to Err I
zetE4n, but will be put in readiness
for defense against the Russians when
they decide to advance 1t is consid-
cred 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 Azerbaijan before invading

HAUL DOWN THE
AMERICAN FLAG

/ WASHINGTON, IAN. 20 After con
lerences between Director Delaney
( Il the Federal War Risk bureau and
Secretary McAdoo it was virtually de.
clded tonight to issue a war risk in
&urance policy on the cargo of cot
| ton which the steamship Dacia will
undertake to carry from Texas to
German ports, in the face of warning
that the British government will re-
sard the ship as fair prize for its
iieet. 1t was indicated that no policy
would be written on the ship, although
the owners are understood to have
sought insurance on the vessel in adj
ditlon to that already carried in pri
vate companies.
Officials Of the treasury are still at
work tonight compiling documentary
pfbcl that the transfer of the Dacia
from the Hamburg American line TO
EdWar w. Breitung was bona fide.
Inc policy on the cargo probably will
be written when this is completed to-
morrow. The rate is expected to be
per cent.
IL Is not understood that the state
department has advised the owners
OF 1he Dacla to make ,ile proposed
voyage. The government simply has
communicated to the owners the nm
favorable attitude of Great Britain
leaving them to take the responsibility
II they care to disregard the British
warning. AT the same time the Off.
Gals reiterate their belief that the
snip Will have a good case before a
prize court, as the department has
been convinced Of the genuineness of
the purchase.
Another shipping case in which in
terest centers just now is that of the
American cotton laden steamer Green
brler which was taken into port by |
a British cruiser and detained three
days. The United States has asked
Great Britain for an explanation, par i
Licularly of the Breenbrier's captain's
complaint that the American flag on
his vessel was hauled down and re-
placed by the British ensign.
The Greenbrier was boarded on
Dec. 30, which was only four days
alter Secretary Bryan had dispatched
20 Sir Edward Grey the strong protest
against just such detentions and seiz-
ares of ships.
