I3ND0N, Juno 6. Another nlr raid was
made over the Eastern and Southeastern
coast of England last night. '
Bombs were dropped at a number of
points, but thu Admiralty, In an official
itilement, said that Httlo material dam
age was done.
This Is the eighth air raid launched
against the Eritlsh coast by the Gor
man?,, tho 'seventh belns an attack upon
the city of London.
, The.' .followim official statement was
? 'nfln?IIS' nlrBlifn's vlsltod bis Eastern-
'uii Southeastern coasts last night.
Bombs, were drobced at various places.
but little material damage was dono. The
casualties, to far as reported, aro very
law."
From Information given out by the Gov
ernment, It Is evident that the Germans
planned their latest raid as an attack
Malnst' Sheerness and other docks and
cetal stations.
Coupled with news of the coast raid
. came-reports from a number of American
residents that they were warned by mys
terious telephone messages last night of
the Zeppelins coming. SI. K. Shaler, of
the American Relief Commission, said
his telephone rang at about 9 p. m. and!
t atrango voice told him to remain In'-'
dcors for the remainder of tho night. '
"Qet some water and be ready to fight
Are," wns the messago sent to other
Americans over the telephone.
The Admiralty thus far has not con
firmed the report that the Zeppelins wero
met and driven out to sea before they
could attack London. It Is known, how
ever, that the Admiralty anticipated an
other attack from the skies as a Dart of
f' 4he sudden display of activity by tho
,miu, ra ana air torces or me itaiser,
and that adequate provisions were made
la meet the dirigibles.

Washington Hears.
Rupture of Diplomatic Rela
tions With U. S. Decried as
Impossible by Kaiser's Diplo
mats America to Be Mediator.
Dy LOWELL MELLETT
WASHINGTON, Juno 5.
The most Important diplomatic paper
slnco the European war began should
reach the United States about June 20. It
will bo the German reply to President
Wilson's latest note. Its lmportnnco will
bo derived from the fact that it will lie
tho first deflnlto step, not merely townrd
preserving peace between thu United
States and Germany, but toward ending
the conflict that has raged in Europe
slnco August.
This wns tho opinion In German diplo
matic circles today and It was shared
by other diplomats.
The expected lapse of time between tho
sending of tho American noto and tho re
ceipt of the reply will bo duo to tho fact
that Germany will awnlt tho arrival of
Anton Meyer Gerhard, envoy from Am
bassador Bornstorft to the Foreign Of
fice, before preparing a reply. Dr. Ger
hard should reach Copenhagen June 15
nnd Berlin about 12 hours later. Five
days is little enough time for him to ac
complish his purposo, It Is explained.
When tho German answer arrives It Is
declared It will mark the point reached
In all great wnrs where diplomacy be
gins to take hold and force begins to let
go. Up to the present, through 10 months
of devastating warfare, "diplomacy has
not accomplished a single damn thing."
The nuoted language is that at a diplomat,
who shures In the belief that the coming
answer irom ucrnn means a momentous
change in tho situation. Tho clrclo of
warfare has constantly widened, one na
tion after another being drawn In. as
diplomacy failed to prevent, Italy being
tho last to bo caught in tho swirl.
But always there comes a tlmo for a
change, and In the European war the
time Is right now, it appears. If diplo
macy socures a hold and Germans are
confident It will its importance will In-

William C. Watt, cashier of the bank
ing firm of E. W Clark & Co., 321 Cheat
nut street, and a member of the Union
League and other prominent clubs, shot
and killed himself at his home, 436 West
Stafford street, Germautown, early
today.
Mr. Watt was alone In his room. A
bullet, fired from behind the right ear,
penetrated his brain. Although Mrs.
Watt declared the shooting was acci
dental, Coroner's Detective Paul said the
position of the revolver made the acci
dent theory virtually impossible.
Mr. Watt was 53 years old. He and
Mrs. Watt lived at tho Stafford street
address with their 20-year-old daughter.
They were members of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club. Mr. Watt was a member
of the Union League and a former treas
urer of the Art Club. Hla father was
John Watt, for many years cashier of
the Bank of North America, and the de
scendant of an old family of Friends.
STAYED AT HOME TO READ.
Last evening Mrs. and Miss Watt went
out, Mr. Watt saying he .wished to stay
at home to read an absorbing book. When
they returned Mrs. Watt found her hus
band lying in a pool of blood In his room
at the front of the second story of the
house. He was fully die teed, part of his
body lying in the doorway of a large
closet.
