riots, moro furious than any yet ex
perienced, broke out hero this after
noon na a result of tho Zeppelin raid
over London. An enormous amount of
German-owned property was de
stroyed. PersonB suspected of Gor
?man nationality or German sympa
thies Were mobbed.
Tho long expected Zeppelin raid on Lon
don became a reality early today. Gcr
inan dirigibles passed over the East End
end over other districts of London, show
ering bombs.
Four persons were killed, one was badly
Injured .and others suffered lesser wounds
in the Zeppelin raid, early today. An ofll
cal statement from tho Admiralty this
afternoon said the dlrlclbles threw 00
bombs, mostly incendiary, and caused
three large fires. No publjcjbulldlnss or.
fortWed" works 'we're damaged. '
The only victims whose names the Press
Bureau permitted to be made publlo were
two young German tailoresses named
Schroder, living In tho East.End. They
were removed to a hospital:
Several sections of London are reported
to have been attacked, the dirigibles
showering both .explosive and Incendiary
bombs. Tho Government notified the
newspapers and press associations shortly
after midnight that no reports stating
what sections of the city had been at
tacked or detailing tho number of victims
would pass tho censor Until an official
statement of the raid had been issued by
the press bureau.
The official statement did not mention
tho number of attacking dirigibles, but
Bald Zeppelins had been sighted near
Ramsgato, 65 miles southeast of London;
in Brenwood, 1G miles northeast, and "In
certain outlying districts of London," and
that many fires had been reported. This
indicated that several airships composed
the attacking squadron.
A supplementary statement from tho
Pre'sapureau said that bombs had been
hurled In' the East End and named the
two German victims. Other particulars.
tho Pr.ess'.Buroau said, would be given out
later Jn the day.
Despite the strictest of censorship de
signed to keep the enemy uninformed of
tho effect of his long-expected raid over
the British metropolis, an Idea of what
has occurred can be figured from pre
vious raids.
The raiders, It is believed, came from
the neighborhood of Brussels, where tho
new Zeppelin sheds have been erected
and where it was reported within the
week that six new dirigibles of very large
type bad been assembled. They flew over
Bruges and crossed the Channel at a
narrow point, striking tho North Fore

I By CAUL W. ACKERMAN
' BERLIN, June 1.
America ought to be reasonable enough to grant Germany tlmo nnd the right
to discuss tho facts of tho Lueitanla attack.
Horr Gottlieb von Jagow, German Foreign Secretary, who drafted tho German
reply to tho American note, so declared
In nn Interview today. He expressed the
slncero hopo that further discussion of
tho Lusltanla incident would bring the
United States nnd Germany to a com
plete understanding as to the facts In
dispute and that,, an agreement would
be fairly end equally determined.
- -''Atnerlca.can, hardly, .oxpcct-ua-toiglyo
up any means at our disposal to fight
our enemy," said Secretary von Jagow.
"It la a principle with us to defend our
selves In every possible way. I am sure
that Americans will bo reasonable- enough
to believe that our two countries cannot
dlsouss tho Lusltanla matter until both
have the same basts of facts."
SILENT ON LTJSITANIA
I asked If Informally, and without In
terfering or In any way prejudicing the
discussions between tho United States
and Germany, ho might elaborate on
Germany's position In the crisis caused
by the loss of American lives in the
Lusltanla disaster. But whenever ques
tions pertaining to possible compromises
between tho United States and Germany
were brought up the Secretary asked
that he be not pressed to answer any
thing relating to possible negotiations.
"Germany is fighting for tho freedom
of the seas," he said, "It Is far from
Germany's Intention to Interfere with
neutral rights or to become the autocrat
of the oceans."
"rVinM vol exnlflJn in mnrn rifttnll
GOTTLIEB VON JAGOW how Germany Is fighting for the freedom
of the seas?" I interrupted. "I fear that America will not understand."
"Well. England always claimed to be the dictator of the high seas," con

challenged.
