avlntors hurled bombs with
deadly effect in the reRlon southeast of
Verdun, according to word received hore
today. One noncoSnbatant was killed

frightfully maimed at Nancy, whrrc an
explosive missile droppod In a schoolyard,
and a maternity hospital at nemlremont,
15 miles southeast of Eplnal, was slightly
damaged. ,
Nowa of the latest German air raid
reached Paris on the heels of the an
nouncement that German Tnubes had
again successfully bombarded Dunkirk,
raining 60 shells upon the seacoast town
It aroused the most bitter Indignation
here. Paris newspapers 'olced the pop
ular demand that the Allies' aviators
take the aggressive at onco and shell
German cities In retaliation.
RAIDERS STARTED FROM JIETZ.
The latest German sky raids wore exe
cuted from Metx, At least six Germnn
aviators, with observers, crossed the
French lines near Tont-a-Mousson and
rained bombs upon Nancy, Luncvllle,
Remtrcmont and other towns within a
radius of 75 miles.
Low-hung clouds protected the blrdmeh
as they crossed the French lines In tlie
woods near Pont-a-Mousson. They first
came into view over Pont-a-Mousson ns
they awoorud earthward and began spit
ting explosives Into the streets. No seri
ous damage was dono In the town Itself,
bat In one of the suburbs a 68-year-old
man, who failed to hear the cry, "to the
cellars i" was torn to pieces when a bomb
dropped at his feet.

One missile exploded In the narrow
courtyard of a school. A few rrilnutcs be

behind for a few moments, was the Ger
man Ttaube's victim. A fragment of the
bomb tore a gaping wound in his leg.
The windows of the school were smashed,
but no other children were Injured.
Lunevllle hod 'been paid frequent visits
by hostile aviators. "When the first mono
plane was sighted rushing down upon the
city from Nancy all residents promptly
took to their cellars. The Germans tossed
several bombs at a large factory, but
their aim was poor and little damage was
done. A crippled engine forced one of the
raiders to descend In an open square at
Lunevllle, where he was taken prisoner
by. French soldiers.
Dispatches from Remiremont said that
only one German aviator visited that
town. One bomb crashed to earth at the
dcor of a maternity hospital, but no dam
age was done.
The squadron of six German aviators
Who paid the latest visit to Dunkirk drop

On Sunday the German concentrated
a great force with artillery in the
region of Sochaczow, BorJImow and
Bollmow (east of Lowlcz In Poland)
and developed nn offensive of great
tenacity which compelled us to retire
to our second line of trenches
Counter attacks by the Hutslans
turned the Oermans out of all tho
trenches they hnd occupied, causing
them colossal tosses. Simultaneously
with the' llorjlmow attack the Oer
mans carried out a series of assaults
along the front from the village of
Goulme to the hamlet of MoghelJ,
these being supported by heavy ar
tillery fire. We repulsed alt these
attacks partly by artillery nnd rifle
fire and pnrtly by the bayonet
Between noon and 2 o clock. Sun
day afternoon the Germans, thanks
to the activity of their artillery
against our trenches, succeeded In
carrying a part of them, At 2 o'clock
we begnn a general counter attack,
with the result that toward evening
on Sunday the onemy retained only a
small part of our advanced trenches
and n castle Thin tho German suc
cess on Sunday In the vicinity of
BorJImow was Insignificant compared
with tho losses Buffered by thm
through our fire and bayonet attacks.
According to our military com
manders, our artillery Inflicted Im

dispersing dense gatherings of the
enemy and reducing to silence a num
ber of German batteries As a ro-

The day of February 1 was marked
by an increase In tho intensity of the
artillery duelo on both sides.
It was also noted by a scries of Ger
man attacks of secondary Importance,
which we:e all repulsed with heavy
losses to tho enemy In proportion to
the forces engaged
In Belgium, the German heavy artil
lery has shown a great deal of activ
ity upon tho whole front occupied by
the Belgian troops and especially
against the several points of support,
which tho Belgians had captured some
time ago.
In the region of tho Yser, around
Vpres, a crj violent cannonnade has
taken place.
Between the Lys and the Somme a
German regiment attacked an English
post near Culnchy nnd succeeded in
throwing back the English, but the
British by a series of counter-attacks
reorcupled the ground lost, and
then made some progress, capturing
some of the enemy's trenches.
The action referred to In the com
munique of February 1, 11 p. m.., as
having taken placo along the road
from Bethune to La Bassee was par
ticularly brilliant for our infantry.
The number of troops employed by the
Germans In this fighting seems to have
been at least a battalion. The two
opening attacks were checked by our
fire; the first succeeded in entering one
of our trenches, but a counter attack
mode Immediately with the bayonet
permitted us to repulse the enemy.
Some Germans alone succeeded In re
gaining their trenches. All the others
were killed or made prisoners.
Between the Somme and the Olse
and along the front of the Alsne no
Important event has taken place, with
tho exception of the German attack
made upon Beaumont Hamel, which
was not renewed,
Our heavy artillery hai bombarded
the railroad station at Noyon, where
the enemy wns carrying out his com
missary work. Our guns caused two
explosions, the smoke of which hung
In the air for more than two and a
half hours.
In the region of Perthes our meth
odical progress continues. We have
occupied another small forest to the
northwest of this village.
In the Woevre tho enemy has at
tempted an attack upon the western
corner of the forest of Boucholt to
the northeast of Troyon. This at
tack was immediately stopped.

DILLON'S CRIME RECALLED
The case of Luke Dillon, the Irish pa
trlot of this city, who served a sentence
of II years In prison for complicity In the
Fenian plot to Blow up tho Welland
Canal on April 21, WOO, finds an exact re
production in the reported plot to blow
up the steel bridge over the St. Croix
River
In April of 1900 Luko Dillon, who was
then a teller In a savings bank company
In Chestnut street and who was formerly
connected with the old Dime SaWngs
Bank, mysteriously disappeared. This
disappearance followed an explosion which
destroyed Lock No. 21, of 'the Welland
Canal In Canada. The explosion came at
the time when feeling was running high
In Canada over the Boer War. There
was bitter opposition to Canada gvlng
any aid to the mother country, especially
by those Irishmen who were laboring for
home rule.
Detectives at once ascribed the plot and
the explosion to Irish opponents of the
Boer War. At the same time Dillon dls
appeared from his home here, and In
vestigation proved this his financial af
fairs were In good order and his home
life happy, A man who gave the name
of Karl Pullman was Luke Dillon, who
had given a false name to shield his
family. He was hurried into Canada,
there tried and there sent to the Jail at
Kingston, Ont, to begin a life term.
It was only when he realUed that he
probably would die In prison that h
communicated to his family and Intimate
friends in the Irish patriotic organiza
tions the Identity of Karl Dullman. After
serving H years Dillon was paroled
through the efforts of friends In the Clan-na-GaeL
PARIS, Feb. 2.
The tide of battle on tho La Bassee
front, In northern Franco, has swung
In faVor of the British after n terrltlc en
gagement. The ofllcia! statement Issued

that the Get mans launched n fierce as
sault against the British lines at Culnchy,
near La Bassee, and succeeded In throw
ing back the British; but the latter rallied
and In counter attacks not only regained
all the ground they had lost, but took
some German trenches In addition.
Tho "Princess Patricia" Regiment,
Cnnada's crack organization, boro tho
brunt of this charge. Tho Canadians
fought brilliantly. In their counter at
tack they captured n position along the
canal to Bethuno which was occupied by
tho Germons In last week's fighting.
Renewal of tho bloody Infantry engage
ments between La Bassco nnd Bethune
and violent cannonading of the Belgian
positions near Ypres wero the principal
features In todnj's dispatches from the
front. These advices snld that tho Ger
mans, who wero beaten off In an Infantry
attack nenr Ypres at da tight jestcrdny,
are now shelling tho Belgian trendies
Another series of lnfnntry charges Is ex
pected. French shells set fire to n German sup
ply depot near Noyon. Along the Alsne
