since the revolution was opened last

hands since the tide of the great in
vasion of 1915 swept Grand Duke
Nicholas armies far back into Rus
sian territory, is reported in flames.
The :ity lies within a pronounced
salient in the line and the statement
that fighting is occurring west of it
may mean to the northwest, but the
front trends along the Oginski canal
and the Jasiolda river.
On the Franco-Belgian front the
British have again made another for
ward thrust, slightly advancing their
line east of Wytschaete, in the Bel

the Royal Flying corps.
London, July damage was done
in the heart of London by an air raid
today which was one of the greatest,
if not the greatest, ever attempted by
the Germans over the metropolis.
: fortunately majority of the people
in the capital had just enough warning
of the raid to enable them to seek
safety in Easements.
An official statement issued this af-
ternoon by the British admiralty said
that three of the German airplanes
which had dropped bombs on London
had been brought down at sea.
About twenty-one airplanes bonn
barded London.
The raiders were attacked by artil-
lery and large number of British air
planes. The results we're unknown at
noon.
The raid occurred at about $50
o'clock this morning. Thousands of
persons crowded the streets, many of
them women and children. The po-
lice and soldiers had difficulty in hold
ing back the people. Many persons
were seen at windows.
Anti-aircraft guns throughout the
city and British airplanes Immediately
engaged he hostile craft and for
time the sound of exploding bombs
and the vicious reply of guns was
deafening.
Fly Straight Over City.
Straight over the city few the
squadron of raiders, pursued by burst
ing shrapnel. The sun was shining
brightly, but the sky was overcast
with a haze such as is so favorable
to raiders. Notwithstanding the haze,
however. the Germans were visible
plainly to the people in the streets.
The raiders appeared most sud-
denly and few persons realized that
raid was in progress until the sound
of bombs began to be heard. The
Germans were travelling at tremen-
dous speed. They appeared to be at
lower altitude than in the last raid,
when they exacted such a heavy toll
of life in London.
Superb View of Raiders.
The west end and fashionable north
western residential suburbs had a
superb view of the approach of the
visitors. From the further northern
fringes of the metropolis the raiders
swept onward in fairly close forma-
ton, more than score in number.
The suadron (Which had been flying
high then began a swift toboggan
downwards, its speed increasing tre-
mendously under the assistance of
gravity and the planes soon reaching
a level evidently less than a thousand
yards in their swoop toward the Gen.
trail objectives.
Meanwhile from all directions anti
aircrift batteries were working like
machine guns. Bursting shrapnel dot
ter the air around the on-coming raid
ers with snarling, vicious black puffs
of smoke more numerous than the
planes. It seemed impossible for the
raiders completely to escape from the
atmosphere of curtain fire surround
ing them. The raiders however, pur-
sued their course holding their cargo
of bombs until they had crossed the
suburban district and outlying parks.
Easements Are Shaken.
Even in Easements the effect of the
bombs was felt, the ground trembling
as though an earthquake were in pro-
gress. Windows were shaken from
frames, plaster from walls and SCOT
from chimneys.
Evidently there was a considerable
difference in the calibre of the. bombs
