BATTERIES OPEN FIRE ON WHAT
is BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN ANOTHER GER
MAN RAID.
TEUTON SUBMARINES ALSO
REPORTED OFF COAST CITY
War Department Instructs Police Of
Metropolis to Make All Prerara-
tons for Aerial Attack
FURRY Breaks Monotony
of News From Front.

London, Feb. 3.-The batteries pro
tecting Dover opened fire at night on
what is thought to have been another
German raid, but whether by Zeppe
Inns or submarines, or both, has not
been ascertained.
An early report from Dover said that
five hostile airships were observed
over that town while later report
announced that they had been driven
off by the gunfire of the forts. An.
other Dover message declared the fire
had been directed at German subma
rineS.
London Is Warned.
AS a consequence the war depart
ment instructed the London police to
make all preparations for an air raid,
The city was soon in darkness and
everywhere the news spread that a
Zeppelin fleet was on its way to the
metropolis.
Telephone calls to Harwich, Cromer
Southend, Kings Lynn, Yarmouth and
other points ELECTED the reply that nc
airships had been seen. The report O.
submarines at Dover seemed to explain
the gun firing there, but the Official
press bureau issued no statement.
The extended precautions taken il
London were indicated by the fact thai
virtually all special constables, unda.
the regulations, were required TO re
port at the various stations, even thos,
attending the theaters, where in som,
cases the audiences were greatly de
pleted.
City Is Darkened.
At several of the railroad station.
the lights were extinguished an,
| trains passing over bridges did so ii
| darkness.
Parts of the city waited for NOR
| han two hours with blinds drawn, bu
| nothing happened.
| This furry served to break the nc
| notony of the news from battle frcnta
where none of the armies, either il til
east or the west, has been able 4
deliver blow sufficient to cause al
shift in their alignment.

British merchant ships continue to b
| the paramount topic of discussion, an
predictions are made that food prices
which are already soaring, will go Still
higher if many more raids are az
complished.
Shipping Upset.
The shipping Of the west coast
still somewhat upset, the Dublin SteaT
Packet Company announcing the ten
porary abandonment of all sailing

One other Dublin company has ais
suspended it's sailing, but the othe

The chief solace Great Britain find
in the German submarine attacks
that the craft thus used cannot TAX
mart in the regular naval operations.
