"Ten airships crossed the east coast
last night between o'clock and mid
night. One airship approached the
north of London at about 10 p. M. but

by aeroplanes. She attempted to re-
turn from the northwest, but was at

tack London from the northeast and
was driven off. Bombs were dropped.
No reports of casualties or damage
have yet been received.
THE remaining airShips wandered
aimlessly over the eastern counties. In

miscuously. Most of them appear to
have been dropped in open country,
without doing damage.
THE airship destroyed was Of the
latest type"
A later statement said:
police reports show that the total
casualties in last nights raid were one
man killed and one woman injured.

the enemy's batteries. This move was

London, Oct. 2.-The stubborn battle
on the twelvemile front south OF
Bapaume, from Thiepval to the
I Bethune road. is undated. The Ger
mans, whose positions all the way to
the Ancre and along the highroads to
Bapaume are threatened, have thrown
all their strength into repeated coun

These have succeeded in regaining
a hold on Eaucorrt ?Abbaye. captured
( by the British yesterday. Until the
German counter blow is spent the Brit
ish are not likely to resume the at
tack on q large scale. Small thrustS
to-day will be succeeded soon, 1t is be-
lieved, by larger moves.
Fighting. comparing in ferocity with
that at High Wood. continues around
Thiepval. North OF Courcellette the
British advanced. but a German coun-
ter attack won back part Of this

From Eaucourt PAbbaye as far west
as Thiepval the Germans are contesting
bitterly the efforts of the centre OF
the British army tn nush forward. But,
despite these heavy counter attacks,
Haig has succeeded IN establishing his
line. 49,.
Unfayorable leather conditions are
holding up operations, especially for
the French, who must cross low,
marshy territory at many places. A
period of long nights and rainy wealth

and consistent thrusts, which throw the
enemy Off his balance and yield large
gains.
In small actions east OF Bouchavesnes
Foch extended his line, but otherwise
there was no infantry action on the

outgrowth of the serious situation
which developed in the commission at
New London ten days ago and culmi-
mated in the sudden recall OF Ambas-
sador Designate Arredondo for con-
sultation.
1t is believed, however. by Admins
tration officials that CarranZa's new
play is mainly for political effect in mis-
own country, where the press has been
attacking him for failure to force the
issue with the United States. With the
announcement that the new demand has
been presented by Mr. Cabrera and his
colleagues it is expected that Mexican
public sentiment will be appeased for
time at least.
Officials say there is no thought Of
oonsenting to withdrawal until all the
questions at issue have been thrashed
out. Instructions to that effect have
been given to the American commits
sioners, it is understood. Calling a
delegation of mining men as witnesses
to-day is regarded as an ndcation that
the real work of the commission is only
beginning.

The increasing frequency with which
