visited the northeast coast of England
last evening and dropped bombs.
Fifteen deaths are repor.ea from the
district in question and fifteen persons
were wounded.
Some fires were sta-sel by the pro-
jectiles but by morning they ha6 been
overcome.
This information was contained in
an official statement today.
Most Fatal Raid.
The latest air raid on the British
coast was the most fatal OF them all.
Zeppelins flew over the northeast coast
on England last night, dropping missiles
which killed fifteen persons and
wounded many more. Never before
has an air raid on England taken such
a great toll of life.
Attacks and Counter Attacks.
Beginning with the German air raid
on the municipal area of London May
81, during which four persons were
killed, the last sixteen days have
brought out reports of number of
aerial attacks by both sides, all of
which indicates q determination to
force the fighting from the clouds.

followed so closely by q counter at
tack from the other. altho in differ
ent direction, that a retaliation is
strongly indicated. For instance, yes

teen. The raid on England mentioned
in the foregoing dispatch follows this
onslaught within twenty-four hours.
Russ contins 80 Retire.
In the eastern arena OF the fighting
retiring. The latest Official reports
from Petrograd admits the withdraw
al Of Russian troops from CzernowitE
into Russian territory. The same re-
port sets forth that fresh German
forces brought up near Jaroslau under
cover Of heavy artillery fire compelled
the Russians to retire for some dis
tance on the right bank of the river
San. On the Tismenitza and Stry riv-,
ers, tributaries Of the Dniester, the
Russians claim to have taken numer-
Gus prisoners and machine guns and
to have recaptured villages wrested
from them by the Austrians.
Germany is showing considerable
bitterness judging from dispatches
reaching London, over the air raid yes
terday on the city Of Karlsruhe. The
press is demanding retaliation. On the
other hand Paris reports officially that
this raid was reprisal for the drop
ping Of bombs by the Germans on open
French and British towns.
