tempting to Forbid Them.

Montpelier. July 23-Judge H. B.
Howe Of the United States district
court tonight signed a restraining or
der good for 10 days preventing State
or local boards OF health stopping the
presentation Of Chautauqua entertain
ments in Vermont towns. At the end
Of 10 days a hearing will be held be-
fore Judge Howe relative to the perm
anency of the order. Service will be

ity Chautauqua will commence Tues

DR.. C. F. Dalton, after the special
meeting Of the State board Of health
this afternoon. said there was no
change in the order made recently
relative to the holding Of Chautauquas
Alexander Dunnett Of st. Johnsbury,
w. A. Lord OF this city and Elmer
johnson OF st. Adams appeared before
the board. while Attorney General H.
g. Barber appeared for the State. The
petitioners asked that the order be
modified so that Chautauquas and like

The petitioners based their argu-
ments on the ground that the order is
unreasonable and not needed at the

DAYLIGHT.
RAID ON ENGLAND
Twenty German Airplanes Drop
Bombs on Felixtowe and
Harwich.
II KILLED; rs INJURED.
Raiders Evidently Int ended to Reach
London but Fire from English DE-
Tense Gums Was Too Hot.

London. July 22.-Another daylight
raid. carried out over the east coast Of
England this morning, resulted in the
repulse Of about twenty German air
planes after they had dropped a num-
Der Of bombs over Felixstown and
Harwich, killing eleven persons and
inturtng 20. An alarm was sounded in
London. but before the Germans could
reach any point near the city they
were attacked heavily by defending
squadrons of aircraft, which speedily
caused them to change their minds
and beat a hasty retreat. So far as
mans was brought down.
The following account Of the raid
was issued:
"A squadron Of enemy airplanes-from
Is to 21-approached Felixstowe and Har-
wich at eight o'clock this morning. Some
bombs were dropped, but the heavy fire
from the anti-aircraft defense caused the
enefny's formation to split up, part re-
turning overseas and part proceeding
SOUTH down the Essex coast. The latter
party was heavily engaged by gun fire
all down the Essex coast and finally pro-
ceeded homeward without dropping more
bombs. The raiders were pursued out to
sea and heavily engaged by our airplanes.
culties Of observation were very great.
1.-The casualties at Felixstowe and Har-
witch so far are II killed and 2e injured"
The morning broke bright and sunny.
but thick haze soon appeared. At
about eight o'clock the enemy machines
were heard, and we're seen flying high
and fast toward the coast. They received
a hot reception from the improved de-
lenses, in the shapt of anti-aircraft gun
fire, and were hardly we'll over the coast
before their formation was broken up.
They dropped bombs hastily before re-
| treating.
There is little doubt an attempt was
| made to reach London. In giving notice
that warning signals would be fired the
authorities announced that such warnings
would not be given until 1t appeared from
information received from military
authorities that an attack on London
| was intended.
