Once more the war became spec
tacular by reason of Zeppelin opera
tons. On January 10. shortly after
dusk, a number of Zeppelins APP
peared on the English coast near
Cromer and passed over Beeston.

king country place at Sandringham,
and proceeded to Yarmouth. Bombs
we're dropped at all these points. the
principal damage being done at Var
mouth. In passing over Sandring-
ham one Of the Zeppelins dropped a
letter in which appeared these words:
Don't be afraid; our prince will not
hurt you; we are after the air sheds
at Yarmouth" Although a bomb is
said to have been dropped some
where in the neighborhood of the
palace, the airmen made NO attempt
to hit the palace itself. AT the time
of the visit little Prince John, son of
King George, saw the Zeppelins APP
preaching as he looked out of his
nursery window, and it was he who
gave the alarm.
So far as known only four persons
were killed during the raid. At Var
mouth many bombs were dropped in
an attempt to destroy the airship
sheds, but the English admit no loss
other than the destruction of private
buildings and an old fishing pier.
On Friday evening a report was
sent out from Cromer that Zeppelins
had been seen again. Those who de-
clared themselves to have been eye
witnesses, even went SO far as to de-
scribe in detail the flight of one of
the Zeppelins. Nevertheless, no
bombs were dropped and much doubt
was cast on the report.
Another air raid of considerable inn
portance was the attack by a fleet of
German aeroplanes on Dunkirk,
where the English army under Gen.
eral French has its headquarters.
Seven persons were killed by the
bombs hurled from the aeroplanes

Turks announced that they had sunk
the French submarine Saphir and
rescued most of the officers and crew.
A German submarine sank the
British steamer Durward, bound
from Leith to Rotterdam. The Lon
don newspapers interpret the sinking
of the Durward as the beginning of
a German naval policy said to have
been advocated by Admiral Won Tir-
pitt, the German minister of the
navy. against British naval vessels.
The Admiral expressed the opinion
in an interview that it would be pos
sible by means of submarines and
other naval vessels practically to
blockade Great Britain and shut off
her supplies. 1t was stated at the
Hague that the Durward had on
board provisions belonging to the
relief commission. An
Australian cruiser reported that it
had sunk a merchant ship which had
been carrying supplies to a German
warship.
On land the chief military opera
tions took place in the eastern theater
of war. Following up their victory
at Sari Kamysh, the Russians drove
the Turks out of Russian territory.
