described as "disgraceful alike to the
war office and the admiralty air serv-
ice'' and the removal of those respon-
sible for the miserable display of in
competence" Is demanded.
Even those comments which are
more restrained complain that Great
Britain Is falling behind in aircraft
construction and say it needs speeding
up.
General Haig's reference to increased
German air activity Is regarded as
highly significant. Disgust is expressed
at the impunity with which the enemy
came, raided and departed.
Altho some Of those injured in Sat-
urday's raid are still in q serious con-
diuon, no further deaths have oc-
CURED. Some of the streets In which
bombs were dropped still were closed

It Is remarked also that the aerial
attack Raises to q practical level the
question Of possible absolute devas-

infliction Of such losses as would
amount to serious military defeat.

TEUTON LEADER R SAYS CAUSE
 |S LOST
(By Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 8. - Reports from Germany indicate an increasing realization on the part of the Ger man people that their cause is hope less and that as the days go by. hopes for victory became more and more re- mote.
 Information received here today from over the border is to the effect that George Gothian, progressive member of the German reichsta. re- gently told his party committeeman that although the military situation. as far as Germany and the central powers are concerned, is satisfactory, there is no longer any hope of crush ing Germany's enemies on land or on sea. He declared that German sub marines have sunk seven million tons of shipping, but no disposition on Eng lands part to sue for peace is yet discernible.
