A woman and baby In tho tame house
were hint,
The air raiders did not visit London.
After throwing terror In the hearts of
lcsldents of east const towns the Meet
apparently turned eastward shortly nftcr
midnight and spe'd back acioss the Noith
Sea.
One report had It that upon teaching
the Kngllsh coait the squadion divided,
some of the airships flying to the north
to attack Yarmouth and other coast
cities, while others Hew southward to
attack London. Thin report placed the
tU'tuhei of dlilglbtes In thr I aiding party
as six. Several correspondents In cast
coast cities arc positive that aeroplanes
accompanied tho Zeppelin One resident
of Kings Lynn Is quoted as stating
emphatically that he saw the outlines of
an aeroplane.
IIOYAL PALAOH MKNAOl:t.
Ulspalches from Kings Lynn do not
slate ilellnltely whether nil attack upon
the rnal lesldcnce near Saiidrlnglinm
actunlly was attempted. A number of
honibs were thrown within a uidlus of a
few miles from tho country palace. King
Georgo and Queen 'Mary, howevei, had
left Smidrlnghiim mid returned to Buck
ingham Palace several hours befoie the
raid was made.

YAKMOUTII, .Ian. M. The list of vic
tims of last night's aerial raid hero was
added to today by the death of Private
Poulton, of tho Kssox Ileglinent, whose

was Bunk, Another dropped close to
Trinity House. The greatest damage was
done In St. Peter's road.
Many windows wero broken In houses
on the west side of the Ynre. Tho tlam-
age Is conservatively estimated at from
$250 to 00, but It Is believed that It will
i go much higher.

, SOLDIER'S WIDOW KILLED
IN ZEPPELIN AIR RAID
KINGS LYNN. Eng.. Jan. M The body
of the widow of a soldier who hns died
at the front In Fiance was recovered In
the ruins of a. demolished house when
daylight came this morning, making n
I ?ond death In this town from the
bombs dropped by the Zeppelin raiders
last night.
Kings Lynn had warning that It was
In tho path of the Zeppelins, and the
lights had all been extinguished by the
pqllce when the humming of the engines
and propellers of one dlrlglblo flying al
a law altitude was heard Just before 11
o'clock.
Refore npproachlng Kings Lynn the
raider dropped a gomb, which was aimed
at Queen Alexandra's bungalow at Snet
tlsham, but missed. Tho report of its
explosion could be heard here. The
dirigible was over this city eight min
utes and dropped five bombs. A boy
named GroaJ. was killed and his parents
slightly Injured.
NINE TOWNS OP ENGLAND
STRUCK IN ZEPPELIN RAID
LONDON, Jan. SO. Nino towns and vil
lages wero damaged in the first German
Zeppelin raid over England. Rombs from
the attacking craft, which launched their
assault upon the east coast of England
from the skies late last night, fell upon
tho towns of Yarmouth, Sherlngham and
Kings Lynn and upon tho villages of
Dersingham, Snettlngham, Grimston, Sor
leston, Beeston and Sandringham.
Dersingham Is only half a mile from
Sandringham, the country seat of the late
King Edwnrd VII and the homo of Dow
ager Queen Alexandra, the mother of
King George.
Snettlngham lies on the edge of the
royal estate. Sandringham Is only SO
miles from London.
It was evidently tho Intention of the
Germans to attack King George and
Queen Mary, who have been staying at
Sandringham, but their Majesties had left
the Sandringham Palaco for London only
about six hours before the raid was made.
Panic has followed the raid. The Gov
ernment Is taking fresh precautionary
measures all along the east coast and in
London. Insurance risk against dam-
age by Zeppelins In this city is rising.
" he damaged towns the terror which
A seaich for German spies was begun, as
a- result of reports that signals had been
flashed to the raiding Zeppelins at Yar
mouth. According to these reports a sig
nal was given from a public building near
the Atiuarlum Theatre In Yarmouth Just
before the attack begun.
Yarmouth was the first place attacked.
After dropping their bombs there the
raiders turned southward, in the direction
of Cromer. Then they turned inland
King's Lynn seems to have been the last
point attacked.
GERMANS FAIL TO DESTKOY
AMMUNITION STOREHOUSES
KINGS LVNN, Eng., Jan 20.-One aim
of the Cermana' aerial raid over England
was apparently the destruction of am
munition storehouses maintained for the
British home defense forces. Ono of the
Zeppelins that took part In the attack
flew near the utores at Grlmson, pear
here, but failed to hit the mark.
John Agnew, a resident of Kings Lynn,
save the following' on the attack:
"The explosions of bombs signaled the
Approach of the German airship. Within
a few moments I heard the noise of the
airship's propellers and a little later saw
the Zeppelin against 'the skj,
"The airship, approaching from the
east, circled the town, dropping four
tiombs. One fell In the centre of the
town about a hundred yards from the
spot where I was standing. It did little
damage. Another fell near the docks.
Another bomb was the only one that
caused damage. It fell in Bentlnck street
end killed a lad asleep In bis bed, at the
same time burying the boy's father,
mother and baby sister in the debris of
the home. They were, extricated with
slight injuries. '
"The fourth bomb wreoked a house In
Albert street. We understood that this
airship was the ona that dropped two
bpmbs upou (he royal estate) at Sandring"
ham. Both missed the palace by nearly
a mile, falling at opposite ends of ike
estate.

BOMBS UPON LONDON
LONG TEUTON DREAM
German Newspaper Declares
Blow at Heart of British
Empire Would Greatly
Aid Kaiser's Campaign.
An nlr laid on Loudon, filling with ruin
and panic "tho heart of the Uritlsh Em
pire," has long been a German militarist
dream.
A Get man weekly newspaper thus deals
with the projected raid on London::
"The Times has for homo time thicat
cned that when Essen, the much-hated
town, Is once captured no stone Is to be
left standing upon another. But mote
Intelligent people perceive Unit It Is the
fate ot London 'rather than our 'Krupp
empire' which is threatened by the Ger
man march, a inarch which up to tho
present has been one long seiies of suc
cessful victories. England In tho mean
while, sees the piospect ot the ncaicr
approach of tho Gctmans coming through
tho air. i ,
"Concerning the possible air attack over
London, tho Times knows that 12 Zeppe
lins and 1- Parsevals are icady for this
object. We will not dispute concerning
the number and will only remind them
that theie are In Germany also Schuttc
I.anz balloons and military airships of the
Bascnach make. The means will not be
lacking when the fray begins.
"But what military object can an air
raid against England attain? Perhnps a
complete paralysis ot England, who wages
war with us in all parts of the world. Of
course, It Is possible to reduce a town of
300,000 Inhabitants to panic and even to
destroy It without effecting any vital In
fluence on the resisting power of tho
country to which it belongs.
"Uut it Is different with London. Lon
don is the heart, head and hand of Eng
land. Tho pulsation of the world beats
or stops with the work ot the city of
London, and a paralysis of its traffic,
trade and commerce would bring homo
more clearly to the Londoner the gravity
of tho situation than the useless shedding
of the blood of his best regiments on for
eign soil.
'So much for the results, but how about
the possibility of un Invasion of the nlr?
Calais, which will probably soon bo In
Germnn hands, or Antwerp, would doubt
less bo used for the attack of aeroplanes
or airships.
"I ii to the piesent the Journeys ot our
nlrships, which hove extended to Antwerp
i and Ostend and over a great part of the
Norm aea, navo nan to taite place from
homo harbors. They have ventured a
distance of 300 to 600 kilometres between
their havens and the point aimed at. Ill
the eastern battlefield, too, Journeys of
luOO kllometies have been carried out
"It Is obvious, therefore, that for any
attack on England the conquered coast
country will be most useful. Calais Is
only 1W and Antwetp 200 kilometres dis
tant from London. A great airship could
easilj cover this distance with quantities
nt ammunition for Its agreeable visit to
the enemy and for Its return to Its start
ing point."

his contempt for the heterogeneous army

"As to Kitchener's army," the General
