London - OF the IL big Zeppelins

day night to deal death and destruction
from the skies, two lay Sunday stark

Essex county.

effected landing, which saved the
lives of the crew, who are now pris-
oners in England. The crew of the
first raider died in the consuming
flames of their own ship.
The death and burning of the first
Zeppelin was witnessed by tens of
thousands of London residents, but the
wounding and descent of the second
raider was a matter of doubt until off
cisl statements were given out. Few
details are available of this second
raiders condition, but it is reliably re-
ported that the crew surrendered to
special constables.
Many who saw the shrapnel bursting
like skyrockets about the invader.
which subsequently caught fire, think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelins from all sides.
The raiders took heavy toll of lives
before their destruction, 28 persons
being killed and SO wounded in the
metropolitan district of London. Two
persons were killed, probably four, and
II wounded in the provinces.
The property damage, while widely
distributed, is confined for the most
part to small dwellings and shops,
some empty cars being destroyed and
part of the tracks torn up.
The roar of dropping bombs was
heard in many districts where the
raiders were invisible. 1t is not be-
lieved that more than two or three in
vading Zeppelins which crossed the
east coast succeeded in reaching the
environs of London, and that two OF
these paid the death penalty gives the
greatest satisfaction to the military
authorities.

BITTER BATTLE RAGING IN EAST;
GREEK KING GIVEN LAST CHANCE

Paris, via London-Although officia
communications have shed little light
on recent developments in the war sit.
uation, it is learned from staff officers
that the battles at all important points
on General Brusiloff's front are agair
assuming the intensity which charac-
terized the first period Of his advance.
The principal centers of action are
the districts near Vladimir Volynski
and west of Lutsk, the Halicz region
and the Carpathians, and in each OF
these territories there has been gen.
eral resumption of the fighting, which
has spread to adjacent sectors until the
whole southwestern war theater from
the Pripet marshes to the Danube may
be said to be again in action.
Misunderstanding to Athens dis
patches received here, M. Venizelos
will issue manifesto to the Greek
people from Canea, Island of Crete,
where he probably will direct the
formation of a separatist government.
Besides Admiral Concuriotis, the
dispatches add, those accompanying M.
Venizeos include all the members Of
his former cabinet, with the exception
Of M. Raktavin, minister of justice.
The proclamation of M. Venizelos, it
is said, will invite King Constantine to
put himself at the head of national
defense movement.
An Athens dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle says the Venizelos proclaim
alton will provide the last opportunity
for King Constantine to place himself
and his government in line with the
wishes of the majority of the Greek
people, who do not want any declara-
tion of the dethronment of the mon
arch.
The dispatch says Venizelos will call
for general mobilization throughout
the Island of Crete for the purpose of
national defense.
