ston Churchill, first lord of the ad-

While no definite information had
been received as to the number of
lives lost on the Goliath, Mr.. Churchill
said he feared it would reach 500.
Twenty officers and 100 men of the
Goliath's crew were saved.
Mr.. Churchill said:
1.-THE Goliath was t~orpedoed at night
in a torpedo attack by destroyers while
protecting the French flank Just in
side the straits.
THE admiral commanding at the
Dardanelles also telegraphs that the
submarine Ella, which, with so much
daring penetrated to the Sea of Mar
mora, has reported that she sank two
Turkish gunboats and a large Turkish
transport"
The Goliath was one OF the older
British battleships of the pre-dread-
'naught type. She was built in 1898.
Her complement was $50 men. She
was 400 feet long on the water line,
displaced 1880 tons, and was armed
with four 12-inch and twelve 6-inch
guns; twelve ~12-pounders, six 3-pound-
ers, two machine guns, and four tor

ZEPPELINS RAID ENGLAND
Conveyed by Aeroplanes Flyers Do
Much Property Damage to
Coast Towns.

Vte
London.-Zeppelins, conveyed by
German a%eroplanes, poured a deluge
of bombs upon three coast towns,
South End, Westcliffe and Thunders-
ley, grouped on the north bank of the
mouth OF the Thames, 40 miles from
London, during the early hours of the
morning of May 10, killing one woman.
setting fire to a number of buildings
and causing considerable damage by
explosions.
Soon after the raid British airmen
were assembled, ready for flight, and
special constables and coast guards
were maintaining extra vigilance in
anticipation Of a repetition of the raid.
More than 100 bombs, mostly incen-
diary, were dropped on South End, the
popular bathing resort. Eight build
ings were fired and the population,
asleep at the time-it was 2:4O am.
when the first bomb was dropped-was
thrown into a state of great excite
ment. Two explosive bombs burst
In the streets, shattering windows all
about and tearing great holes in the
pavement. A timber yard was de-
stroyed and several residences were
damaged by fires. A boarding house
was burned and only the walls remain
standing. The explosive bombs were
apparently aimed at the parade
grounds and the gas works, but nei-
Their struck their mark. Fire bombs
fell near the South End pier, the cor
poration electric works and a railroad
freight yard.
One projectile that failed to explode
fell on the beach a short distance from
a prison ship on which 1900 Germans
were interned. q
No casualties are reported from
Westcliffe or Thundersley, where fires
caused the only damage. Early re-
ports said bombs had been dropped on
Canvey Island and on Shoeburness.
Romford and Pitzea, but later reports
showed this to be untrue.
The air fleet disappeared to sea.

BRITISH DEATH LIST HEAVY
Casualty List for Ten Days Contains
Names Of 1900 British and
Colonial Officers.

London.-On May IL the war office
announced that the British casualty
list for the past 10 days contained the
names of 1900 British and colonial
officers.
Probably the fiercest fighting dur
ing this time was the fighting which
took place May 9 and 10 between the
sea and the Scarpe.
1t opened with a furious German
commandment Of the British lines to
the eastward of Ypres, followed by
German infantry attacks, which lasted
throughout the day and night and led
to several h~and.to-hand encounters.
Owing to the superiority Of the
German numbers and guns on this
part Of the field the British had a diff
ficult task, but thanks to REINFORCE
ments Of the line and pressure brought
to bear elsewhere, they have once
more firmly establishem themselves
on fresh lines to the east of Ypres.
The German attacks, which have cost
them heavy tolls in casualties, have
died down.
AS a return blow the British and
the French on the line from the neigh
borhood Of La Vante to the Scarpe
gave the Germans on May 10 some un.
pleasant experiences. They subjected
this line to a heavy bombardment,
which began at $3.50 am, and lasted
40 minutes. The earth shook under
the constant %detonations of the burst
ing shells, which wrought havoc in
the German lines.
Following up this bombardment, the
British infantry attacked and carried
the front lines of the German trenches
a front a mile in width on the
road from La Vante towards Aubers.
The British troops were subjected to
the fire of many German guns, which
were posted in concealed positions on
their flanks, but in spite of this fire
and the German counter-attacks, the
British are still in possession of the
trenches they won.
Further to the south, the English
artillery did much damage to the Ger
mans, but the infantry attack, which
was begun at this point, was not press
I'd, owing to the unmasking Of many
German gun batteries. These attacks,
however, have served the purpose of
many German army corps on
his part Of the line, causing the Ger
heavy losses and reducing the
strain OF Ypres.
Aided by this energetic action, the
French troops on the right made nota,
