parding the raid by the two Zrppelius on the
East Coast yesterday morning state that n
dozen shells were thrown at Moldon, in the
County of Essex, soon after midnight, dong
considerable damage to Il workshop IN the
London road. Bombs were dropped ut the
Hey Bridge Basin, two miles across the river
which set buildings on fire. The airships
went up the Blackwuter river and over the
marshes. around which they circled. At
Lowestoft, in Suffolk, three bombs were
dropped doing considerable damage to
houses in the centre of the town, lumberyHrds
were set on fire, windows in many houses
shattered and three horses killed. The air
craft visited Southwo!d, twelve miles south
Of Lowestoft, proceeded to Holesworth, eight
miles inland and then returned to South
void, dropping six bombs, and passed over
Harwlch ia the direction oi F'eiiAstowe.
Ample warning was given, dispatches from
Holland having reported TINT the Z"ppelln8
were crossing in the direction of England,
and the notices sent out by the authorities
enabled the usual precautions to be taken.
The Swedish steamship "Folke" was blown
up off PeterHead on "Wednesday night, but
whether she was torpedoed or struck a mine
is not known. Some of those on board were
landed at Aberdeen by a trawler.
The crew of the Netherlands steamer'hat-
WIKI WHICH, wa reported JN'hSiN"J go
having been torpedoed III the North Sea, have
reached Flushing. They say that the vessel
was torpedoed while at anchor, with all her
lights burning and the Dutch flag flying.
She carried a cargo of corn consigned TO the
Government of the Netherlands. The Dutch
new papers c. mmenting on the incident, sav
that a Dutch ship, chartered by the Dutch
Government, was torpedoed off the Dutch
coast by a State pretending to maintain
fl. endIy relations with the Netherlands, and
they add chow many similar proofs OF friend
ship must we receive before we declare that
we prefer open enmity"
A further despatch from Muiden stntcs
that the four Dutch t~rawlers, reported y%ester-
day as having been seized by German war
ships and taken to CuXhuyeu, have been
released.
A W%hitePaper regarding the sinking of
the German cruiser "Dresdeu' at the island
of Juan Fernandez states that the cruiser,
having disobeyed Chile's orders to depart, was
informed that she was informed, but the Gov
ernor of Juun Fernandez was unable 10 COM
municate the foregoing to the British squad
ION before lis action against the dresden"
Such acts Of hostility within Chll0n waters
came as a painful surprise and constrained
Chile, III defence OF her sovereignty, TO for
mulate the most eneI getic protest. Eugland's
reply regrets the misunderstanding and on
the facts stated in Chile's communication
the British Government offers a full and am
pie apology. According 10 the BRUSH IN
formation, the "Dresdeu" had not accepted
interumeut. Her colours were flying and
her guns trained, and the capiniu of the
cruiser "Glusgow' probably assumed that
she was defyiug Chile and abusing neutrali-
ty, and was only waiting opportunity to at
tuck British again. In view OF
the time necessary 10 clear up the circum-
stances the British Government does not
qualify it's apology to Chile.
A French official bulletin announces:
"North of Alrns we have gnined a brilliant
success which completes that of last month,
the whole spur southeast of Notre Dame de
Lorette having been Carried with the bayon-
ct by our troops, who now hold "1 the south
eastern slopes as far ns the outer Woodland
f hinge at Ablaiustnazairt. We took 100 pfls-
oners, including several officers, three trench
n,ortars and two guns. A German aviator
dropped bombs on the hospital at Mourmclon.
