The German airmen appeared were sand
bingham, Yarmouth. Sheringham, Hun
stanton, Croner. iIeacham, Dersingham
and Kings Lynn. King George had left
sandringham only few hours before the
raiders VISITED Il.
Most Of the damage appears to have
been inflicted upon private houses and
shops few public buildings or docks seem
to have been injured.
The raldlng airmen showed excellent
ability "a pilot their vessels. az well as
good workmanship. In spite OF the
darkness Of the night they seemed to
find their way over the country with re-
markable directness, and the accuracy OF
their aim with bombs was greater than
generally had bee;t believed possible.
AcropIRhes Probably Used.
a press dispatch received here from
Yarmouth says Il Is generally believed
there that the raiders of last night camo
in aeroplanes of large size
Among those killed Is one soldier. The
property damage does not exceed few
thousand dollars. a shoemaker and a
woman were killed at Yarmouth and a
civilian and a soldier lost their lives at
Kings Lynn. The police reports from
towns upon which bombs were thrown
say that the public responded very well
10 the raid instructions recently made
public. For the most part the people
took refuge In their cellars. Several the
aters were emptied quickly.
An unexploded bomb In Yarmouth
weighed si:- pounds and is cone-shaped.
Comment of the British press on the
airship attack Is bitter in tone, many
London papers assailing the Germans IN
the Same measured language as at the
time of the Hartlepool naval raid. The
event is being used as a text for edi-
torials urging more rapid recruiting.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that the
only fitting answer is the sending OF
fresh armies TO the continent The
Westminster Gazette characterizes the
raid as a violation OF the rules Of war
fare. The Globe urges retaliation in
kind. observing that there are several
flourishing towns within easy reach Of
British airmen.

and souvenir hunters have been picking
up pieces Of bombs.
An outstanding feature OF the raid APP
pears 90 have been the skill with which
the German airmen in the darkness fol-
lowed their route and dropped bombs in
the vicinity OF King Georges house at
Sandringham. and Queen Mother Alex

road station here and at the Grimston
ammunition depot.
According TO the police the raiders
circled twice over Kings Lynn and drop
ped bombs in the neiehborhood OF the
railroad stations and the docks The
missiles fell close to the station and the
docks. Three missiles fell close to the
station and wrecked the sheds In which
tho Royal railroad coaches we're housed
One or moro bombs were dropped along
the water front among the docks and
damage was inflicted on the hydraulic
engine house.
The dense darkness and the slight mist
which prevented effective pursuit OF. or
successful shooting at the raiders, also
hindered them in their efforts to reach
some OF their apparens objeetlves,s ami
also to aim their bombs with the maxi
mum Of accuracy Thus the visit to
SandringhaIn, which King George and
Queen Mary left at 10 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 per-
sons killed and four injured. They all
were In a group OF houses on Bentinck
street which was wrecked by one bomb
The police stiil are searching the ruins.
The casualties at Yarmouth are two
killed and one injured. There lie still II
difference OF opinion here as whether the
German raiders came in zeppelins or In
aeropianes.
