ELEVEN DIE IN. RA|D AGAINST WAR B0ARD'
GERMAN AlRPLANEs SCATTER
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ON
ENGLANp'S EAST COAST.
ONE TEUTON PLANE WRECKED
British Aircraft Said to Have Been
!, Handicapped by Low Visibility,
Though Defense Is Shown
to Have Been improved.

London, July ,24.-Another daylight
kaid, carried out over the east coast
of England Sunday morning, resulted
in the repulse of about 20 German
airplanes, after they had dropped
number of bombs over Felixstowe and
Harwick, killing IL persons and in
juring 27.
An alram was sounded in London,
but before the Germans could reach
any point near the city they were
heavily attacked by defending squad
IRONS of aircraft, which speedily caused
them to change their minds and beat
"a hasty retreat.
One German machine was brought
down over the channel.
British planes pursued the Germans
well out to sea, fighting vigorously all
the time, but handicapped by the low
visibility. Reports of heavy firing re-
ceived from various quarters indicates
that the authorities have made consid-
cradle improvement in the defense
since the last raid over London.

/ ports Was Written.

Washington, July "a. - Secretary
Daniels explained the alleged "elabora-
ton of Admiral Cleaves' report on the
submarine attack against the Pershing
transports. 1t is contained in letter
to Senator Tillman, in response to
the latters inquiry.
An Overpowering sense of joy in both
war and navy departments upon the
arrival of the troops, says Secretary
Daniels, dictated the phraseolOgy of
the announcement of their encounter.
The exact dispatch of Admiral
Cleaves was not made public, the sec
retary says, because it came in code.
Mr.. Daniels assumes entire respon-
lsibility for the version of the incident
which reached the public. He refers to
the story, coming from the Creel bu-
Ireau and generally supposed to have
been the product of the Creel commit
tee, as "the statement which l gave to
the public"
