AIR RAID UPON war s.deughtT
Aeroplane and Two Zeppelins
Drop Fifty Bombs.
NO LIVES REPORTED LOST

Amiens, France. Several bombs
have been dropped by a German Taube
aeroplane In the vicinity of the
Cathedral bere. Ten persons were
killed or wounded. The material
damage done was slight '
London. England experienced Its
third hostile air raid, but the last,
like those Immediately preceding it, j
resulted In do lues of life. In the sev-1
eral raids, however, there was con
siderable damage to property.
Taking advantage of fine flying
weather, which enabled a Zeppelin
airship to visit the vicinity of the
Tyne and the coasts of Suffolk and
Kwex, a German aeroplane, having
crossed the North Sea, flew over the
County of Kent, dropping bombs.
In all, four missiles were dropped In
the vicinity of the towns of Faver
ham and Sittlngbourne, the latter
Ju.-t across the llugle from the Isle of
Sheppey, which Is the birthplace of
the ErltiBh royal naval flying corps.
All bombs fell In fields.
On his way the airman passed over
Canterbury and other towns In Kent,
but did not loose ar.y explosive pro
jectile upon or near them.
People Cut By Glass.
Zeppelins for It Is believed there
were two of them which visited East
Anglla dropped some 25 Incendiary
and explosive bombs on Lowestoft,
Southwold, Maldon, Burnham on t.ie
Crouch, Heybrldge and Tllllngham, !
but like the raid of the previous night '
on the Tynemouth district, only ma
terial damage was done, although a
number of persons had very narrow
escapes. In Lowestoft a bomb drop
ped in a garden shattered a row of
mall houses and people sleeping In
them were cut by broken glass.
During the three raids at least DO
bombs were dropped by the Germans.
Kither by error or purposely the air
men Feem to have kept away from the
larger towns. There they might have
been discovered by searchlights and
come under fire from the land.
There Is an Inclination here to con
sider the raid only In the nature of
reconnaissances, for except In te
case of aeroplane bases, points of mili
tary Importance were avoided, al
t ough In each case air craft passed
within a shorv distance of such places.

in Mexican Waters.
EMPHATIC OFFICIAL DENIAL
4,000 Japanese Marines and Jackie
Said To Be In Turtle Bay, Pre
sumably In Connection With
Saving Of Stranded Cruiser.
Washington. The Japanese Em
bassy was quick to denounce as "more
than absurd" and as "preposterous"
the report that a naval base had been
established by Japanese warships at
Turtle Bay, Lower California. "There
never has been any Intention on the
part of the Japanese government to
locate a naval base or occupy any ter
ritory on the west coast of Mexico," t
added the embassy. '
Dispatches printed In papers from I
Los Angeles telling of the presence of I
a large nu nber of Japanese warships
in the secluded Turtle Bay; of 'the
landing of the sailors and ti e estab
lishment of a large camp and of the
mining of the harbor, when brought to
the attention of the officials of the
Navy Department, were a complete
surprise, for although Admiral Howard
and his fleet are In the vicinity, no
report had been received from him.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose
velt stated that if the Japanese com
mander had telzed Turtle Ray and
established a camp, Admiral Howard
would undoubtedly ' -ve notified his
government.
.Will Make Inquiries.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, how
ever, announced t' at he would tele
graph Admiral Howard, In command
of the I'nlted States fleet off the Mexi
can west coaft for Information on the
situation.
The two Mexican embassies an
nounced that they had telegraphed
their chiefs, General Villa and Gen
eral Carranza. They asked spec. lie
ally wl et' er Japan had obtained from
t'-e Mexican authorities permission to
land a force at Turtle Bay and to
estahllsh an armed camp.
Germany, also Is Interested. In the
absence of Ambassador Bernstorff no
ofTc'nl statement was forthcoming, but
It was Indicated at the embassy that
tve German legation at Mexico City
will be advised of the reports. Any
PTitest to the Mexican authorities con
cerning the matter, which would ap
ot to be a violation of Mexico's neu
trality would be marlo fr'Uigh the
legation at the Mexican capital.
So far as can be a certalned In

passengers homeward bound from
their day's work. As the car. ap
proached the railroad crossing It stop
ped and the conductor ran ahead to
sea If the track was clear. He sig
nalled the motorman to wait, but ap
parently the latter, who Is said to have
been Inexperienced, misunderstood his
meaning. He applied the power and
the car ran rapidly down an Incline
and onto the railroad tracks.
A string of freight cars being pushed
by a switching engine struck the street
car fairly In tbe middle, smashing; It
almost to bits. The wreckage was
pushed along a hundred feet, several
of the dead and Injured dropping along
the street before the train was brought

was several hours before they could be
extricated and their exact number
known.
As the dead were taken from the
debris they were laid in a row along
the street and covered with canvas
pending the arrival of the corner.
Later they were removed to under
taking establishments.
Many private automobiles rushed to
the scene of the accident and these
together with the ambulances which
responded to the call for help, carried
the Injured to t'-e hospitals. Several
of those so removed were so badly
