are this morning virtually paved with
glass, and souvenir hunters have been
picking up pieces Of bombs. An out
standing feature of the rail appears to
have been the skill with which the air.
men followed their route in the dark
and dropped bombs near King Georges
house at Sandringham, and Queen
Mother Alexandra's bungalow at Smet-
tinham, as well as at the docks, water
works and railroad station. .here, and at
Grimston ammunition depot.
According to the police the raiders
circled twice over Kings Lynn and
dropped bombs in the neighborhood of
the railroad station and the docks. The
missiles fell close to the station and
wrecked the sheds in which the royal
railroad coaches were housed. One or
more bombs were dropped along the
water front among the docks and dam
age was inflicted on the hydraulic en-
gine house.
Escape in Darkness.
The dense darkness and the slight
mist which prevented effective pursuit
or successful shooting at the raiders
also hindered them in their efforts to
reach some OF their apparent detectives
and also to aim their bombs with the
maximum of accuracy. Thus the visit
to Sandringham, which King George
and Queen Mary left at 10 O'clock yes
terday morning, was not effective, al
tho some bombs were dropped near the
royal residence.
The casualty list at Kings Lynn 50
far as known Is two persons killed and
six injured. They were all at a house
in Bentinck street, which was wrecked
by one bomb.
The casualties at Yarmouth are two
killed and one injured. There is still a
difference Of opinion here as to wheth-
er the raiders came in Zeppelins or in
aeroplanes.

From the sea to the Somme in the

has there been any activity In the
section Of Soissons or in the vicinity
Of Craonne, or near Rheims.
I'm the region Of Camp de Chalons.
as well as to the north Of Perthes and
Of Massiges, our artillery directed a

OF the enemy.
TN the Argonne In the forest or La
Grurie the enemy delivered violent
attack upon one Of our trenches Our

under the shock, later recaptured in
counter attacks all the positions and
maintained the positions.
