Athens, June 2.--The Turks have suffered terrible losses in night attacks on the Gallipoli peninsula in the past forty-eight hours.

The London Newspapers Have Warned the Public to be Pre- pared For Raids of a Similar Character---Bombs Crashed Through the Roof---Burned to Death. (Special to the Whig.) London, June 2.--*'Murdered by some agent of hos- file force," was the jury's verdict to-day at the inquest into the deaths of Henry Good and his wife, Caroline Good, two of the victims of the first Zeppelin raid on London yesterday morning. The victims died of suffocation and burns when an incendiary bomb, hurled from a Zeppelin, fired their Home. The London newspapers to-day warned the publie to be prepared for further raids of a similar character. Throughout the proceedings no mention was allow- ed to be made of the location of the house occupied by the Goods. "Two bombs crashed through the roof," said the principal witness, a neighbor. "The house immedi- ately burst into flames. When the firemen got the blaze under control, we found the two victims kneeling beside their bed, Mr. Good's arm about his wife. Both were suffocated and their limbs badly burned." . Fragments of two bombs, found by the firemen, were offered as exhibits.

Indeed, she has every interest in maintaining the status quo unless Italy should despatch forces to tie Franco-German frontier. But even if she does not declare war, says this diplomat, Germany will not abandon Austria and will send her friend all the help necessary to con- front her new adversary. She can do this well without declaring war, and she can do the same with Tur- key, which has every interest in pre- venting Italy frem collaborating in forcing the Dardanelles. This action, or want of action, on the part of Germany may be a spec- fal gravity for Italy, which certainly does not wish to play the enemy's game, which would mean that the Germans would be able to fight her without being able to reply directly.
