Brisk Tt'GGHHTIEG IN
AIR AND ON LAND

London, Aug. Six German
airships took. part in the raid on
the eastern counties of England
this morning. according to an Of
fetal announcement issued this
afternoon, which Says that eighty
bombs are reported to have been
dropped. Nine horses were kill
ed and three horsese were injur-
ed. The statement follows:
Several hostile airships attack
ed the eastern and southeastern
counties last night. The first re-
ports were received about mid
night. From these it seems that
not less than six airships were
attacking the counties of Norfolk,
Suffolk and Essex, more or less
simultaneously. The raid lasted
about an hour and a half.
Except at one point the raid
ers did not penetrate very far in
land, but contented themselves
with dropping a few bombs at a
time on widely distant localities,
mainly near the sea. Several
bombs are reported to have fallen
in the sea.
"Anti-air craft guns came into
action in one locality, but the
raider there attacked made good
his retreat.
In conjunction with this at
tack one airship was making for
the coast Of Kent, Many observ-
ers report that a second airship
followed the first. The number
of bombs dropped in this attack
makes the statement appear quite
| possible. Anti-aircraft came into
action and one, if not two, hits are
claimed against the first raider.
"a total number of eighty
bombs have been accounted for
UP to date, inclusive of those seen
falling into the sea. The total
damage was astonishingly small.
Nine horses were killed and three
others injured. The military OBJ
Ject of the raid is not apparent"
Land Operations
North of Bazentin-Le-Petit
we gained some ground bv a
bombing attack.
During the night the enemy
sent four strong detachments to-
ward Delville wood, which were
allowed to approach to close
range before fire was opened. All
repulsed with heavy loss and
at one place fifty of the enemy
were caught in massed formation
| by our machine gun fire.
Our heavy artillery lombard
ed an enemy strong point between
Pozieres and Thiepval. The gar
rison, fleeing across the open,
came under our field gun fire.
Yesterday we caused a big ex-
plosion at Courcelette.
Throughout the day the enemy
artillery maintained a barrage
west and southwest Of Longueval
and Mametx and Caterpillar road,
intermittently. Further north he
shelled villages near Arras and
Armentieres and dropped bombs
on the outskirts of some of the
villages without doing any dam
age.
"In the Givenchy district we
bombarded the enemy's line near
Hohenzollern. In the Loos salient
there was considerable trench
mortar activity on both sides.
