PARIS TREMBLES AS FOES' AIRMEN imL BRITISH Germans Spread Terror in Repeated Attacks on Brit ish Headquarters at Dun kirk Five More Killed. French Officials Warn People to Guard Against Zeppolins. Kaiser Aims Blow at Island Enemy. PARIS, Jan. 11. Paris today Is -trembling for fear of a German air raid. Warnings already have been Issued, fol lowing another attack on Dunkirk, In which five persons were killed nnd much damage done. The raid Is expected to night. . Following reports received, Minister of Wp MIHerand held a-' conference with .derie.ra' Galjlci'jl, at which precautionary plans were;- considered. ,i Jt'.wosjdgreea; that lights shoUld.be still furthor' dimmed In the city, and an ad dress to tho people reciting steps to be tnken Jn tho event of an aerial bombard ment was. (ssucd. wear Dunkirk .early today a German aviator dropped a bomb upon Malo-Les-Balns,' killing five civilians and wound ing Beveral. This follows a concerted raid Sunday, wnon, it is reported, IT persons were- killed and much damage was- done. Reports received here say that 16 Ger man aeroplanes attempted to cross the English channel yesterday morning, but' found weather conditions unsulted for an invasion of England nnd turned back toward Dunkirk. They were sighted from tho coast of Kent and were high in the air. Tills probably accounts for tho terror spread along the English coast on tho re ported movement ot a Zeppelin toward Kngland. Thirty bombs were thrown by the nlr men, but owing to the precautions that had beon taken there vero fow victims. Tho material damage was unimportant The reason for the persistent dropping of bombs from German aircraft on Dun kirk Is not far to seek. Dunkirk hns been the British headquar ters on tho Continent since October 20, but the Germans discovered the fact only recently. Since their discovery they have devo.ted marked attention to the city, kllllntr several persons with bombs. A German biplane flew over Dunkirk on October IE and dropped two bombs, One of them fell In the sea. The other, although it fell on shore, caused no dam age. Despatches, from Copenhagen under date of October 27 said that the Kaiser, In ordering the taking of Calais, had de clared that Dunkirk, too. must be cap tured. On November 18 a German neroplano dropped two bombs near the town hall at Casscl, near Dunkirk, and killed a woman and a child. A fleet of four Ger man aeroplanes raided Dunkirk on De cember 30. Hying several times across the pity, killing IS persons. Including one woman, and wounding 32. Another attempt was made by a Ger man all fleet to reach Dunkirk on Janu ary 7, but French batteries drove the aeroplanes back before they had reached the city.
