London. January 2o.-f101o D. mo The German airships-fsr they ar thus described by the German omiy/ tftbsrt-which rsided the coast ss/ Q Oa Norfolk lest night. dropped more bombs. The missiles killed lHerseDs, injured 10 or more and did considerable property damage. A re- Dert that fifth person. . soldier. has been killed proved incorrect.
 Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, the largest towns visited, suffered the heaviest dam age Eight bombs were dropped in Tar mouth. one killing an old man and an old woman. injuring three others and smashing every window within radius Of several hundred yards.
 At Kings Lynn woman and boy were killed and the bombs demolished row of cottages.
 The aircraft also visited Cromer, which, however. was not attacked; Sheeringham where four bombs were dropped; Deers- fngham, Grimston, Snettisham and Heacham. each of which received one missile.
 
 three miles of the Kings Sandringham residence. Near the former place, where the windows of the village church were shattered, Queen Mother Alexandra has summer bungalow.
 Zeppelins Took Part
 What composed the raiding fleet is still . matter of discussion. Major Astley, who commands the national reserve at 7<1ng ' Lynn. says he will report offi- Icially that one ot the latest Zeppelin dir llgibles took part. Some persons declare they saw huge airships. but others as- sert only aeroplanes and seaplanes par ticipated.
 | Aeronautica1 experts are of the opin- Hon, from the size of the bombs dropped weighing from 60 to 100 pounds each that non-riSid airships were employed. and as the German official account re- fers to "airships." 1t is presumed these more quickly than zeppelins but are slower and carry less ammunition. |i Whether by coincidence or because the British end French authorities had know,- edge of the enterprise, more stringent regulations as to lighting went into ef- feet last night both in Paris and Lon don.
 As consequence of the raid insurance rates against damage by aircraft were doubled today and is now from 50 to 60 + sh1H1ngs per cent A large business was done even at those high rates. Battles both in the east and the west now consist largely of artillery engage ments. with occasional infantry attacks. The French claim further progress in the region of Pont-a-Mousson. to which mil 1tary men attach much importance. It is predicted that the Germans will launch | a heavy offensive as they did with great success at Soissons. to put stop to the French advance towards the roads lead 1ng to Metz.
 Capture Trenches The Germans captured more trenches ln the Argonne, but according to the French official report, they were re- taken.
 The only other point of importance \ disclosed by official statements is an Sntinlatinn in the Berlin communication that the Germans have undertaken a | counter offensive in Alsace. In Poland and Western Galicia the Germans and Austrians continue isolated ! attacks against the Russian lines, which according to the Russian report, have | been repulsed with heavy losses to the | attacking forces.
 Tho Russians are advancing slowly through the mountains separating Bulk owins and Translyvania and are ap- proaching Dorna Watra, town of some importance near the Roumanian border
 It Is believed the Turkish Caucasian army will not retire to Erzerum but will be put in readiness for defense against the Russians when they decide to ad. vance. It is considered likely. however that the Russians will be content fol the present with successes already gained in this, region and turn their attention to Turkish forces in Azerbaijan befor. invading Turkey.
