RAID OVER ENGLAND
TWO KILLED AND is HURT IN
COAST TOWN ATTACKED.
British Flyer Brings Down Zeppelin
Which Catches Fire and Doubles
Up Like Jack-knlfe.

London, June 10. - Two persons
were killed and Is injured in a night
air raid in which a Zeppeiih was
brought down. The following official
report of the raid was given out
here:
1.-THE night air raid was carried out
by two enemy airships. One airship
crossed the Kentish coast at about 2
a. m. and dropped six bombs on a
coast town. According to the latest
police reports, two persons were kill
ed, 16 were injured and many hous-
es damaged.
1.-THE second raider attacked the
east coast town of West Anglia at
about $3.50 a. m. She was heavily
shelled by guns of the anti-aircraft
defense and driven off. 1t is probable
she was damaged by gun fire. Short
ly afterward this raider, after drop.
ping a number of bombs in open
places, was engaged and brought down
in flames by a pilot of the Royal Fly
ing corps. The airship was destroyed.
There were no casualties or dam
age in West Anglia"
Aerial torpedoes were dropped, but
the raiders also employed high explo-
sive and incendiary bombs which
caused several fires. Several houses
were reduced to ruins.
II was only a few minutes after
the bombing that the people had their
first glimpse of one of the raiders as
it turned seward, evidently trying to
get home. 1t burst into flames which
lit up the black sky for miles. The
airship remained stationary a few sec
onds and then appeared to double up
like a jack knife and descend rapid
ly to the earth.

New York, June Is. = News of
the destruction of the big French
freight steamship Mississippi by a Ger
man submarine with a loss of one of
tho merchantman's crew was brought
here by officers of a British freight
vessel that arrived from a French

miles out from Brest, France, June 2.
according to officers of the British
ship which rescued AZ officers and
seamen from open boats. They had
been afioat only a short time.
The British officers refused to dis
close details of the sinking as relat.
ed to them by the French crew. The
only sailor lost was taking to the
boats. The British ship landed the
survivors at Fayal, Azores.
The Mississippi was in regular
trade between New Orleans and

SWEDEN TO CONTINUE
HER STRICT NEUTRALITY
Foreign Minister Says People Must
Prepare for Greater Suffering
Than Vet Known.

Stockholm. July 16.-Foreign Minis
ter Lindman made a statement to par
lament in which he declared that the
Swedish government intended to con-
tinue to observe unequivocal loyal neu-
trality.
"The war will not end soon," said
the foreign minister. "and we must be
prepared for greater ~sufferings than
we have previously borne, all the
more as the Swedish harvest this year
will PROFESSIONALLY be a poor one"
Minister Lindman thought 1t was
impossible that Sweden would find her
self exposed to new restrictions and
new difficulties, but she was firmly re-
solved that her population should es-
cape the suiferings which would re-
suit from participation in the war.

PEACE OFFER SENT TO
SLAvS THROUGH SWISS
Proposal for Peace From Teutons to
Russians Reported by Stock
holm Publication.

Stockholm, June 1S.-The Social
Demokraten says: Germany has made
an offer of peace to Russia through a
member OF the Swiss federal council.
Various moves on the part Of Ger
many and Austria since the Russian
revolution to arrange a separate peace
with Russia have been reported, al
though not in the form OF an offer
directly by either government. A
week ago the Council OF Workmen and
Soldiers of Russia made public the
fact that the German commander in
chief on the Eastern front had sent a
wireless message inviting the Russian
armies to a separate armistice to be
followed by secret negotiations with
the German leaders. This proposal
was denounced by the council.

DESTRUCTION OF TANK. STEAM.
SHIP MoRENi IN WAR ZONE.
AFTER DESPERATE FIGHT; =.
WITH SUBMARINE.
CAPTAIN COMPLIMENTS
SKIPPER ON GAME FIGHT
Also Has Wounded Treated by Sub.
marines Surgeon Before Setting
Crew Adrift-Four Lose Lives
and Survivors Are Picked
Up by Passing Boat.

Washington, June Is. = American
naval gunners have mel their hrst de-
feat In open fight with a German
submarine. Official dispatches have
announced the destruction of the tank
steamship Moreni, abandoned ablaze
June IL, by her crew and armed guard
after a desperate running fight in the
war zone, which cost the lives of four
of her crew.
Half an hour after the tanker had
been sent to the bottom her AZ sur
vivors, including all members of the
armed guard, were picked up with,
their life boats by a passing steamer.
The German commander had set them
adrift after congratulating the Amer
lean skipper on his game fight and
having the wounded men treated by
the submarines surgeon.
Attacks at Long Range.
The submarine began the action at
a range of 5000 yards, four nautical
miles, when she hardly was visible
to the steamer without glasses. Pre-
senting virtually no target herself, she
sent 200 shells at the big tanker, max
ing many hits while the American
gunners wasted $50 shots without
harming the speck from which the
deadly hail came.
Naval officers assume that the sub
marine was armed with 6-inch rifles.
Courtesy Causes Comment.
The action Of the submarine com
mander IN treating his v~anquished op-
ponents with such unexpected cour-
tesy was the subject of much COM
ment. Germany has proclaimed her
intention to treat British armed mer-
chant rev as pirates. In this case
even the naval bluejackets and their
officer, properly prisoners of war, were
set free, along with the merchant
crew. "-
