Fifteen Are Killed; Many Injured When Planes Attack Coast of

TWO ASSAULTS MADE

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Fifteen per- sons were killed last night and 70 were injured during a raid of Ger ported that their anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the enemy air fleet at 7:30 o'clock last night when the droning aeroplane motors were heard.
 The Admiralty today announced that the enemy fleet continued bombing the attacked places for two hours at various intervals. The number of bombs dropped cannot be estimated but the property damage was not large.
 Following the aeroplane raid last night, Zeppelins appeared early this morning of Lincolnshire and the Yorkshire coasts dropping bombs with aerial torpedoes. The Zeppe- lins were driven of by gun fire. Three women only were injured on this last raid. Only two aeropianes penetrated the defense zone of London last night before the British air squad ron succeeded In driving the at- tacking fleet of.
 Viewed by daylight the damage from the visit of the German raid CTS was surprisingly slight. A num- Der of bombs dropped in the London district was small and practically speaking the results were almost negligible. The chief damage visi- ble is broken glass. One spot where a heavy bomb landed squarely in the middle of the street made hole four feet deep in the pavement. The concussion broke glass over several acres, including windows in the neighboring hotels wherein were many Americans. This explosion killed three persons all standing in the doorway watching the explosion of shrapnel overhead. Wagon loads of glass were swept from the pave ments today and carried away.
