LONDON, Feb. 3.-The removal by the government of most of the restric- lions on the publication of news about the raids has released flood of ac- counts of latest visit of the Zeppelins.
 A part of Staffordshire was the only place in which the material damage was done The towns in this district were fully lighted when the Zeppelin approached. The deaths and injuries in this district were, in many cases att tended by narrowing circumstances, as, for instance, the killing of a woman missionary with Bible in her hand: of q baby in it's mothers arms as she sat nursing it; of a whole family as it sat around the fire place; and the de- CapitatiOn of a workman and the cut ting off of Woman's legs. Workmen's houses were blown to atoms, churches were destroyed and buildings were un- roofed
 Nowhere did the raids cause panic The story of the killing of the woman q correspondent:
 Not far from the center of the town is the church, separated by a short distance from the chapel in which q mission for woman and girls was in progress. The woman missionary, wife of well known vicar was Standing Bible in hand, addressing an audience Of two hundred women and girls when bomb dropped between the church ba olo f T hDJ in the ground four feet deep and twelve feet in diameter within 20 feet of the chapel There was a binding flash, then all was darkness. The wo- man missionary was struck by a huge fragment of shell and killed instantly. Another woman and a young girl also were killed. The screams of the in iured arose in the darkness and many persons were trampled in the confusion and panic which prevailed for a few moments. Two clergymen were pres ent at the meeting and both were in jured.
 Many worked heroically at the work of rescue and as fast as the sufferers were dragged out from under the deb ris they were removed to the local hos pitals, where the doctors and nurses worked untirirgly in the center of the danger zone. The church and vicarate were partly wrecked by bomb frag- mcnts. which bored holes several inch es deep in the solid masonry"
 From a town in Leicestershire: The noise of Zeppelin engines was heard on the north side of the town shortly af- ter the warning was received and three minutes later the first bombs fell in the yard of a cafe and wrecked all the outbuildings in the neighborhood smashing every window for radius of goo feet. A second bomb fell in the center of the main street, killing a bride walking with her husband. and injuring the latter so badly he died in q short time. A woman shop keeper also was killed and a young woman friend was wounded, dying on reaching the hospital
 A third bomb fell a few minutes la = ter on the opposite side of the town Wrecking two houses, blowing in shop fronts and killing three members of one family who were watching the airships near their home. A shopkeep- CT and an cmploye were killed in front of their shop.
 Altogether there were ten deaths in the town and considerable number of persons injured. There were no fires all the bombs dropping being of an ex- plosive character.
 From town in Lincolnshire: A raider passed over the town at II D. m dropping abOCt fifty bombs, for the most part of an inCendiary character The material damage done was nsig nificant. being confined to buildings Of no industrial importance. Three pc destrians were killed and seven slightly injured.
 From a town in Norfolk News that Ieppelins were approaching reached the city at 30 o'clock in the afternoon before they had yet passed the line and it was , o'clock the following morning before the last of the raiders left Eng land. Norfolk sustained only slight damage. A single large estate was q target for several bombs, but the only result was the destruction of a work mans little cottage.
