Eleven Killed in Air Raid.

Bombs were dropped on HGr.
wick, seaport town In Essex, Eng
land, from a squadron of German air
raiders and eleven persons were killed
and twenty-five others injured.
The raid was short and swift, the
British putting up such stiff defense
that the raiders were quickly driven
out to sea, where they were intercept
ed off the Belgian coast by British
naval aircraft from Dunkirk, and in
the battle that ensued two of the raid
ers were brought down in flames and
third damaged. All the British airmen
who engaged the Germans returned
safely from their fight, 1t is officially
announced.

Teuton Attack on London Cost Foe
Ten AirpIanes, Seven Being 5agged
at Dunkirk.

Furious battles in the air and loag
distance raids into one another's ter
ritory have marked the great struggle
for aerial supremacy between the Ger
mans and the allies, with the entente
aviators still supreme.
The German raid over London cost
the Teutons ten machines, for besides
the three machines of the raiding
squadron which were destroyed, the
British aviators based on Dunllirk beg
ged seven others, although missing the
raiding squadron on its fight home.
The great raids on German terri
tory were carried out by the French,
who sent out eichty-four machines to
make reprisals for raids on open
French towns by the Germans. The
French droprel $1,000 pounds OF
bombs on many points Of military i'm
portance far behind tfia German front
Along the British fro~t itself there
was much aerial activity also, the
British war Office announced, the Ger
mans displaying unusual enterprise
ospeoi"'ly between Lens and Ypres.
where heavy formations. one Of VIII ch
comprised thirty machines, were en-
countcrod. The Germans succeeded
In dropping Il! bombs benin the D /,
ish lines, but the British aviatcrs re
sponded by dropping near'y thras
times that number on the German
lines. In adliticn. thu German al
dromes were bombarded, and much

Although the raid on London was the
greatest in the number of a'rplanes
rscd, the casualties were far unde:
tnose inflicted in the raid Of June 13
Twenty-eight men, six women and
three children were killed, all except
three Of the deaths being in the metro
poltan district of London. There
wera III injured in all.
Tat great damage was inflicted by
French ayiators en- such places as
Essen, where the Krupp gun works
are situated; Treves and Coblenz, was
evident, for many fires were observed
by the French flyers after they had
lroDDed their bombs.
Eleven French war planes attacked
Treves, where more than 5000 pounds
CT bombs were dropped, and seven
fires. cne in the Central station, were
started. The Padische aniline factory
