London--The Germans delivered
their first but long feared Zeppelin
night attack against England. A ieet
OF fast air cruisers swooped across
the North Sea to the Norfolk coast,
'bombarded Yarmouth, sailed into the
interior and dropped bombs on Sand
bingham, Sheringham, Kings Lynn,
Cromer and Beeston.
Five persons were killed, four at
Yarmouth, and one, a boy, at Kings
Lynn. Many were injured by the de-
v~astating missiles, which exploded
with horrible force. The first flashes
from the Zeppelins' searchlights were
seen at $3.50 p. M, and ten minutes
later the sigar shaped destroyers were
seen speeding toward the coast, the
whirring and buzzing of their engines
clearly audible.
Warship conquers Airship.
Not all of them escaped. One was
brought to earth and captured, with
its officers and crew, at Hunstanton,
a few miles from Sandringham. 1t
was forced to the ground by the fire
OF a warship lying of shore. The
others regained safe airs and returned
across the North Sea to the base
whence they had come. Just how
many Zeppelins the Germans used in
their first aerial raid is not known,
but it is probable that three or four
composed the raiding fleet.
London became panicky following
reports Of the air incursion, and all
constables were called out at mid
night to watch for flashes from the
s~earchlights of the invading craft.
The royal family had left Sandring.
ham Hall, now used as the Queen
Mother Alexandra's country palace
only a few hours before bombs rained
down a the palace.
In Yarmouth a shoemaker, Samuel
Smith, was found dead outside his
home on st. Peters Plain with his
skull crushed. Another mans head
was blown off.
A woman also was found dead, and
a soldier was picked up in the public
square with a wound in his chest.
In Kings Lynn a boy, II years old,
was killed. His father was buried in
the wreckage of the demolished house,
but was taken out alive. In another
house a mother and her baby were in,
jured severely.
At Sheringham a bomb dropped in
Wyndham street went through a
house, but did not explode, apparent
ly because the fuse became detached
in the descent.
The bomb dropped at Beeston did
no damage.
The bombs measured almost four
inches in diameter.
The greatest damage done by any
of the bombs resulted from the one
that fell in st. Peters Plain, near st.
Peters Church, which damaged a
whole row of houses, breaking all the
windows in them and littering the
street with debris, consisting of slate
from the roofs and brick.
The attack lasted about ten minutes,
according to most observers. The Yep
pelins disappeared, travelling at a
moderate pace toward the southwest.
By that time Yarmouth was utterly in
darkness owing to the action of the
authorities in extinguishing the cleo
trio lights and cutting off the gas sup
ply.

Colonial Life the Target.

The disqualification of Judge Err
nest J. Heppenheimer, president of the
Colonial Life Insurance Co., from sit
ting in the ninety cent gas rate case,
in the event of a reargument before
the court Of errors and appeals is the
aim of a bill introduced in the House
by Assemblyman John B. Hates, of
Camden.
The bill provides that no judge shall
sit in any case in which he has any
financial interest other than that of
a taxpayer. Judge Heppenheimer's
right to sit in the case was challeng-
ed upon the application for a reargu-
ment on the ground that the Colonial
Life is largely interested in the securi-
ties OF the Public Service Corporation,
whose value would be directly affected
by any rate decision.
The court of errors refused to dis
qualify Judge Heppenheimer who sat
when the motion was made for a re-
argument.

London.-The steady pressure OF the
Cars armies, reinforced by about l.
100000 fresh troops of the levy Of
1914. has enabled Grand Duke Nicho-
las to push back slowly but continu-
ally the German line west Of Warsaw.
The Russians crossed the Skrwa
River a few miles below Flock, and adj
vanced in force to take the city of
Plock.
Russian troops already had reached
Sierpec and Gombin, situated respec-
lively north and south of this provin
cial capital.
In northern Poland the Russians
continue to advance toward the Prus-
sian border, say the reports.
Reports of a staggering blow dealt
TO the Turks after their determined
stand in the snow at Kara Urgan, in
the Caucasus, are confirmed in the
later dispatches.
The Turks are fighting rear guard
actions, but are being pressed back
toward Erzerum in great disorder.
Petrograd dispatches Indicate the
defeat of the Turks is regarded as SO
decisive that it will mark the close
Of the Ottoman attempt to invade,
Russia in the Caucasian region.
The Russian victory, it is said, prob
ably will free enough Of the Caucasian
army to oppose effectively the Turkish
troops who are approaching the from
tier further eastward through Persia.
This, if carried out, would mark the
complete collapse of the Turkish cam
paign of invasion OF Russian soil.
Desperate lighting continues on the
western front, especially between Ar
ras and Albert, where La Boisselle is
the main bone of contention. AS the
result Of the blowing up an smmuni-
ton depot by a German shell, part of
the village was set afire and the
French were forced to evacuate the
town. They r%ecaptured it a little lat
er, however, according to the Paris
official statements.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-The New Jersey Harbor
Commission has presented its annual
report to Governor Flslder and both
branches Of the Legislature. Assem-
blyman Arthur Quinn, of Middlesex
County, the home of Commissioner W.
Parker Runyon, handed the report to
the House of Assembly and Majority
Leader Read in the Senate filed the
report and had adopted a resolution
ordering 1000 copies printed.
The document is comprehensive,
containing in its more than 100 pages
a record Of the principal achievements
Of the commission from it's ~organiza-
ton, April IA last, to December 81.
Contained in the report is a map Of
Jersey City's plan for a marginal rail
road along the Hackensack and an in
dustrial development Of the present
marsh lands. This map and plan was
prepared by Chief Engineer B. =. Cres-
SON. Jr, of the Harbor Commission, at
the request Of City Commissioner
Henry Byrne.
With the-map presented the detailed
statement of how the industrial de-
velopment could be consummated by
the riparian owners on the Hacken-
sack water front. The Harbor Com

boy, and Charles S. Boyer Of Camden,
show that in 1914 they passed upon
plans for shore front development
contemplating the expenditure by mu.
inequalities and individuals and cor.
porations Of more than $4,000, 900.
An adverse report upon the pro-
posed plan for constructing a continu.
alton of the present inland waterway
from Cape May to Bay Head by dredg.
ing from Bay Head to Manasquan, is
a feature of the document.
In addition to the Hackensack River
map showing the proposed develop.
ment in Jersey City, there are &C.
companying the report maps prepared
by the commission showing in detail
the shore front occupancy in the port
Of Perth Amboy and at Camden.
There is also a map of the proposed
New Jersey ship canal route from
Morgan to Bordentown and a map
showing plans for bulkhead improve,
ment at Sea Side Park prepared for
the town by Chief Engineer Cresson

FRENcH LOSSES 100000.

London.-Severe fighting in Elan
ders, neal Arras, in the region Of Per-
thes and north of the farm of Because
jour, with a decided advantage for
the Allies, is reported in the official
French communique. Near Newport
the Belgians and French have pushed
forward and driven the Germans from
their entrenched line in the sand
dunes, at the same destroying a fort
from which the enemy had been de
bouching and doing considerable exc
cution. Quiet still prevails at Sois-
sons, but further to the east, at Troy
on, the Germans made an attack but
were easily checked, the French de-
clare. The Allied progress at Perthes
and Beausejour is beginning to as
sumo considerable proportions. The
action there continued through a VIC
lent snowstorm, the French infantry
executing a successful attack which
enabled them to push their lines for
ward over a wide front. Berlin tells
of some gains on the western front
and declares the French have lost
10000 killed, and at least 10000 in
killed, wounded, sick and missing,
since the Allies took the offensive in
December, while the German losses
total only 10000.
In the eastern theatre the Ger
mans are using heavy artillery to ham
mer the Russian lines, especially on
the front before Warsaw. Further to
the south the Austrians also are de-
pending on their artillery to hold the
Russians in check. The fighting has
been so heavy IN the Dunajec River,
where, if the Austrians fail to hold
their present lines, the advance of the
Russians will again threaten Cracow.
New Austro-German forces are report
ed to have been organized to repel
the Russian invasion of Hungary, but
the Russians hold the Carpathians
passes and have placed their artillery
there on the crests commanding the
passages. There is no important
change in East Prussia
