LONDON, August Six German
airships took part In tho raid on tho
eastern counties Of England this morn

that eighty bombs arc reported to have

killed and three horses were injured.

The statement follows:
Several hostile airships attacked the

about midnight. From these 1t seems
that not less than six airships were
attacking tho counties Of Norfolk,
Suffolk and Essex. more or less stimuli
taneously. The raid lasted about an
hour and a half.
Except at one point the raiders did
not penetrate very far inland. but con-
tented themselves with dropping a few
bombs at time on widely distant To-
calitics mainly near tho sea. Several
bombs are reported to have fallen into
the sea.
"Antiarcraft guns came into action
in one locality, but the raider there
attacked made good his retreat.
I'm conjunction with this attack one
airshiD. was making for the coast OF
Kent. Many observers report that a
second airship followed the first. The
number OF bombs dropped In this at
tack makes the statement appear quite
possible. Antiaircraft guns came into
action and one. II no, two. hits are
claimed against tho first raider
"A total number OF eighty bombs
have been accounted for up TO date,
