Bombs There.
DAMAGE is UNIMPORTANT
German Attacks on French Po-
SitionS on the SOmme River
Front Frustrated.

LONDON, Aug. German air
ships raided the east coast of Eng
land and the southwest coast OF
Scotland early today. Three women
and a child were killed and fourteen
persons injured, the official state
ment says:
"a hostile airship crossed the east
coast of England early this mornlns'
Another airship is reported to NE
visited the southeast coast of Scot
land. The raiders did not pentrate
far in, but dropped a number ol
bombs near the coast.
AT several places the airshlps
were engaged by anti-aircraft guns
and driven off. Reports received up
to the present show that three women
and one child we're killed, and four
teen persons injured. No damage
of military importance was report
ed"
Fro mseven to ten Zeppelins took
part in the air raid early today ac-
cording TO an official statement this
afternoon.
About $50 bombs were dropped and
twenty-three casualties were caused
says the statement, supplementing the
qrlier announcement.
Correspondence in the districts Wis
tied by the Zeppelins telegraphed that
the airships flew at a great height.
They were subjected to very heavy
fire from anti-aircraft guns, which
compelled them to make hasty re-
treat. One ship dropped twenty and
another fifteen incendiary bombs, some
of which fell into the sea.
AS on recent raids, many of the
bombs fell on open ground or into the
water as the airships were making off.

ayers today again rejected the de-
mands of the four railroad broth
erhoods for an eight hour day and
time and a half for overtime and
proposed submission of their differ
pnces with the men to the federal
hoard of mediation and conciliation'
This proposal, A. B. Garretson, on
behalf of the brotherhoods, rejected.
Elisha Lee, chairman OF the railroad
managers conference, in proposing
that their differences be mediated'
called attention to the fact that the
brotherhoods had previously declin-
ed arbitration under the Newlands
act, providing for six arbitrators, but
The railroads saw no other way out
Of their difficulties than through
mediation.
Mr., Garretson reiterated the con-
tention Of the brotherhoods that in
previous attempts to settle differ
pnces with the railroads through the
federal boards, the brotherhoods had
failed to obtain satisfactory awards
and said that the unions believed
that they could reach a settlement by
