LONDON, June 1S.-Public de-
mand for reprisals against Ger
many for her aerial murder raids,

was believed the government

ance.
A tremendous popular sentiment
for Franco raid on some
such German city as Berlin or
Frankfort to avenge the murders

oped.
A mass meeting Sunday in the

such reprisal was attended by
thousands.
A British airman. Commander
Pemberton Billing, M. p, declared
with England's supremacy in the

their second Zeppelin within seven
days in Sunday mornings German
raid over the east coast. Damage
was negligible. 1t was the first
time the Germans had utilized
Zeppelins for an aerial attack in
more than D month.

First was the resumption Of Of

Lutsk sector, which, combined
with Petrograd dispatches detail

Second was the Berlin statement
