well protected by the marshes of the

The French, according to the latest
news, are holding the Germans to the

they soon may make the German po-
sitions on this front untenable, in the
view of British observers.
Italy is attacking the Austrian de

that the Italian batteries have beer

BY mail have come details of the at
tack on London by German ~Zeppelins,
particulars of which the British censor
would not allow to be published In
England or cabled to this country.
In all 1t would appear ninety bombs
were dropped, apparently by airships,
which, IL Is believed, were guided by
spies in automobiles specially lighted.
The raiders got within a mile of the
Bank of England and st. Paul's cathe-
dral and three miles of Westminster
Abbey, Buckingham palace and the
houses of parliament. They hit a
church. a crowded theater, killed four
persons, wounded seventy and set a
few fires, but are thought to have
proved that raids on London may be
successful yet.
First Bombs at 1o.3o p. M.
The German air raiders apparently
reached and at ~Leigh-on-Sea. which Is
two miles from Southend. There they
dropped five bombs about 1890 p. m.
but did little damage, as the explo-
sives fell on the open downs neal the
town. They were next reported over
Brentwood and from that town easily
reached north London. only n few min
utes' flight away. S%tratford, which Is
well within the metropolis, was the
subject of their attentions, but little
property damage was done there, the
bombs falling on waste land.
The raiders then continued their
fight until they were over Dalston
junction. a very important railway
junction with a heavy night traffic OF
freight trains which necessitates many
signal lights. Near the junction there
is a marsh which marks the site OF
natural springs known from the days
nf the Romans, and instead of strik
ing the railway lines most of thu
bombs fell In the marsh.
Swinging more to the east, the raid
ers scattered bombs over Shoreditch
which is on the edge of the city o
London, and 1t was here that they &C
complished the greatest damage to liz,
and property, setting fire to severa
private residences and shops and kill

others.
