has been carried to the shores Of Eng
land. German aeronauts attacked
South End, forty miles from London.

on the town escaped the pursuit of
British aviators. The British admir-
atty announced that two women had
been killed by the bombs, although dis
patches direct from South End assert
that only one was killed.
One or more Zeppelins took part in
the raid. The whole town was illu-
minated by bursting shells from the
aircraft, but the property damage was
not large. Aviators of the allies in
f1icted heavy damage recently on the
German positions in Belgium. A mes
sage from Ostend says that so German
soldiers had been killed by the bombs
dropped on that city from aeroplanes.
Notwithstanding their heavy losses in
men and warships, the allies are con-
tinuing incessantly campaign which
aims at the conquest of Constantine
ople. An Athens dispatch states they
are constantly bringing up reinforce
ments, and that the Turks are greatly
impressed with the unremittinR vigor
of their assaults.
