GERMAD A|RSH|PS. !. B0MBARO ENGLAND DROP MANY BOMBS AND
 MAKE THEIR ESCAPE Heavy Rain Clouds and Fog Prevent Pursuit of Raiders by British Avi- atOr~-Believed that Four or Five Zeppelins Were Engaged.

LONDON, May 25.-A fleet of four or five German Zeppelins raided the eastern counties of England last night, dropping number of bombs and causing considerable damage. The number of aircraft employed by the Germans is not known. asthick fog and rainclouds prevented observation of the marauders, but from the bombs dropped it is estimated that at least four or five were engaged. Because of the prevailing thick weather the British aviators were unable to at- tack the marauders, which escaped without difficulty. The exact amount of the damage done and the number of lives lost. if any. is not known.

SHORT CROPS IN
 CENTRAL EUROPE
LACK OF FERTILIZER
 IS ExHAUsTING SOIL
Press Correspondent says Agricultural experts of Austria con- yinced Good Crop be Secured only
 Under Most Favorable Conditions.

NEW YORK, May 25.-An Asso- ciated Press correspondent. who has just arrived here from Vienna. states that hope of peace with Russia and that better crops will be raised this year than last have been the only Op- timistic feaures in Austro-Hungary's attitude toward the war, during the past few weeks. Agricultural experts, however, have realized that the crops must necessarily be worse than last year unless the most favorable con- ditions prevail. There is a great short age of farm labor. and as it has been impossible to obtain an ade- uuate supply of fertilizer since the war began, the soil has been exhaust ed, and to obtain anything like nor nal crops the acreage must be largely increased, and this is impossible be- cause the supply of labor is limited. This deterioration of the soil prevails rot only in Austria and Hungary but throughout Central Europe. With q still shorter crop in AustrO-Hungary this year than last the suffering thru out the Teuton nations is bound to be still further exaggerated, and may play al important part in bringing about peace.
