Jan. 20.— German airmen delivered their long predicted attack on England last night. From a base presumably in Germany they Hew over the North Sea to the eastern coast of England, where for nearly four hours thev circled over a group of some six English towns only a little more than 100 tniles from London, apparently dropping bombs at will. So far as has been learned to-day four or five persons were killed by these missiles and about as many more were wounded. Whether these airships were Zeppe lin dirigible balloons or aeroplanes has not yet been definitely established. There Is Increasing belief in London this morning that possibly only aero planes took part in the attack. There has been no news so far to-day to con firm the report current last night that a Zeppelin had been brought down on the English coast. On the contrary, it now appears as though all the German raiders have returned whence they came.

CITY era NE CHOSE FOR UM Health Department Head Deplores | "Insignificant Increase" During ! Last Year City Council's attention is called to ■ the peculiar significance of Harris burg's birth and death rate by Dr. J. | AI. J. Raunick, city health officer and | secretary of tlie bureau of health and 'sanitation, in his fifth annual report j to-day. ! In discussing the birth rate Dr. Uau i nick says: "As a result of a net increase of j only thirty-eight births over last year, jour liirtli rate, while the highest In j the history of the bureau, shows an increase so insignificant as to cause lis : grave alarm in the nsar future on this all important matter." I As to the problem of death rates Dr. I Raunick says: "While our statistics show many .important and favorable changes, we 1 must consider that while death rates jean and should show a regular decline, I sooner or later a certain standard • death rate will be reached, below iwhich a lowering of the community 'death rate will be impossible, for in | spite of rapidly advancing sanitary 1 science, deaths will necessarily follow ; unceasingly. ! "The time is not far distant when communities will not be classed ac cording to meaningless natural death j rates." continues Dr. Raunick, "but ! rather by sanitary ratings based upon | the communities' ability to combat land control its number of cases and deaths from unquestionable prevent 'able diseases."

Instead of the SBOO cash, how- 1 lever, it was agreed between the two, that Keaffer should turn over his port able sawmill, which was the-- operut ) Ing in a mountain tract In the upper end of the county. Marsh, however, allowed KeafTer the use of the mill until he finished a lumber cutting job. Before the Job was finished the mill was burned down, whereupon Marsh endeavored to get his SBOO cash. This is not claimable now. according to Keaffer. because the destruction of the property leaves nothing in which to retain title. 150 to Attend Smoker of Extension School E. F.

So far as is known the Germans who ' performed this spectacular feat escap ed unscathed. Earlier reports that one Zeppelin was brought down have not been borne out. It has not yet been established whether aeroplanes or Zeppelins were employed by the raid- l< ■ ers. ; i An official Russian statement to-day j 1 describes a series of actions along the!' Vistula, northwest of Warsaw during; I January 17 and 18. In three of these | engagements it is said the Russians! won the advantage, twice silencing 1 German batteries and on another oc- ! caslon repulsing an attack with heavy i losses to the Germans. Two victories over the British forces ' operating near the head of the Per-I sian Gulf are claimed by the Turkish | war office, in a statement Issued at j Constantinople. It is asserted that the | British attempted a surprise attack on 1 the Turks, but were repulsed with the ' .loss of 100 killed and wounded. In a! I cavalry engagement near the junction; | of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the j British are reported to have wlth | drawn after heavy losses, j In Alsace, where the allies were making progress until checked recently by the arrival of German reinforce ments, they now, aparently, are on the defensive. The official statement i from Berlin to-day says the Germans i have captured the town of Airsstein, j i north of Sennlielm. A further ad- ' vance in the Argonne also is reported, i but this is disputed in the French j statement, which asserts that the al- I iles, although compelled temporarily j to evacuate certain positions, later re- I captured them. Elsewhere along the western front only minor actions, prin cipally artillery engagements, occurred I yesterday. PARTIAL i:\ ACi: Vi'lON ORDERED j By Associated Press j Geneva, via Paris.
