Another raid by German airships, the
third in as many days, is reported from
London. 1t is said German aeroplane
dropped bombs at midday to-day near
Herne bay, in Kent, six miles from Can
terbury. This is the first instance of a
daylight attack by German aviators fly
ing over England. Herne Boy is wa
tering place in an estuary of the Thames,
80 miles from London. Last night Zep-
pelins dropped bombs within SO miles of
London.
Within few minutes after the ap-
pearance at Herne bay machines were re-
ported over Canterbury closer to the cap
ital Shortly afterwards they appeared
over Faversham and then over Sitting
bourne, not more than 80 miles from
London, dropping bombs on each town.
Aerial onslaughts, however, were not
confined to Germans. The French Off
cial reports claim a successful bombafd.
ment from the sky of the imperial Ger
Zeppelin assault on Nancy.
Although no great battles are in prog
ress, with the exception of a protracted
struggle on the ll5-mile front in the
Carpathians, active operations are being
undertaken in increasingly wide sections
of both the eastern and western fronts.
Official reports from Paris reveal re-
sumption of hostilities in northern
France, particularly in the neighborhood
OF Arras. In the east, the Russians have
taken up the attack along the Warsaw
front, after a long winter lull. They
claim the capture Of a village about 80
miles from the Polish capital. In the
vicinity of ossowetz, near the Prussian
frontier, fighting has also been resumed.
Holland is deeply stirred by the sinking
of the Dutch steamer Katwyk, bearing
cargo consigned TO the government of The
Netherlands. The Dutch marine minis
try, after an investigation, has expressed
the opinion that the vessel was sunk by
German submarine.
