 LONDON, Wednesday, Jan. 20-- German air craft made long threaten ed raids on England last night and attempted to blow up the kings royal Norfolk. King George ana Queen Mary, who had been staying at Sandringham with their family, re- turned to London only yesterday.
 It is not definitely known whether the raiders were Zeppelins or aero planes, but Zeppelins were reported yesterday afternoon passing over the North Sea in q westerly direction, and there is inclination to believe these were the raiders.
 Bombs were dropped in Yarmouth, Kings Lynn Sandrngham, Cromer. Sheeringham and Beeston. Every where except at Beeston, casualties and property damage resulted. A Zeppelin is reported to have been brought down by the fire of a warship at Hunstanton, few miles north of Sandringham. The number of deaths is not definitely known. The royal residence was undamaged. although it is said bombs fell in the kings estate.
 The night was calm, but very dark and cloudy. which made it impossible for the people in the towns over which the raiders passed to dis tinguish even the outlines of the ma- chimes, though the whirr of prOpel- lors and the drooning of their motors were heard distinctly.
 The first place visited was the widely known seaside resort and fish ing town of Yarmouth. A man and woman were killed, a number of oth- CTS injured and much damage to prop erty done by the raiders on the visit, which lasted less than ten minutes. Apparently the raiders then flew over Cromer, where they dropped bombs and then went to Sheering- ham and Beeston. Turning inland there they made for Sandringham, lastly visiting Kings Lynn, where a boy was killed and a man, woman and child were injured. Ten houses were destroyed.
 The damage done at Sandringham is not reported. It is known, however. the royal palace was not harmed. Only yesterday Scotland Yard au- thorities issued instructions concern ing measures to be taken by the po- lice and other officials in the event of an air raid.
 The towns of Yarmouth. Sandring- ham, Kings Lynn and Cromer are in the province of Norfolk, which abutS the North Sea about 150 miles north east of London.
 Yarmouth, known as Great Tar mouth, and Cromer, are favorite re- sorts, while Sandringham contains the country place of the late King Ed ward. Kings Lynn is a seaport and market town. It contains shipbuilding yards. iron foundries, machine shops and other industries.
 If the air craft which made the at tack were the ones which passed over the island of Ameland they probably started from the vicinity of Cux- haven. In this case they would have i had to fly about 150 miles across the North Sea to reach England. The The Daily Mail reports a Zep- pelin appeared over Ipswich during the night but did no damage Ips- Wich is in Suffolk county, to the south of Norfolk. If is about seventy five miles southwest of Yarmouth. ] Searchlights all about London were | (Continued on Page Two)
