'And Got Away Safely---Berlin Tells the Stesy---German Aeroplanes 'Pursued---The Air Flotilla Was Accom - panied by Motor Boats, Cruisers and Destroyers. (Special to the Whig.) Berlin (via wireless), July 6.--British aviators at- tempted a great aerial raid on the German North Sea (loast Sunday morning, jt was officially announced here to-day. The Germans sighted the flotilla at dawn. Tt con- sisted of several hvdro-aeroplanes and aeroplanes, ac- companied on sea by motor boats, cruisers and destroyers. "The hostile airmen were forced to retreat," said the official statement, "One British hydro-aeroplane, which succeeded in arising toward the coast, was pursued by German aeroplanes and escaped by flying over Duteh territory." This is the first intimation from any source of this British raid over the German strongholds of Heligoland and Kiel. It is evident that this British aerial recon- noitering party successfully accomplished its purpose and got away apparently without loss. It is quite pos- sible, too, that they dropped some hombs which did con- siderable damage, but the Germans do not admit it. From British Standpoint. (Special to the Whig.) ; London, July 6.--Much elation is felt at the success of the British Naval Flying Corps and its assisting light squadron of cruisers and destroyers in penetrating so near to the German North Sei coast, as indicated in the official German statement to-day. While there is so far no re- port of heavy damage done by the British raiders, it is realized that the amount of information gathered bv the British aviators in their reconnoitering over Heligoland and the Kiel canal will be most valuable to the British Admiralty. While the German statement reassures the German people that the 'British attack was unsuccessful," it is felt that from the British standpoint, it was really highly successful and demonstrated the high degree of prowess | of the British naval flying squadrons. Some authorities assert it was the most significant aerial success of the war. WN ty A i . AANA At APA tailing BRITISH REGIMENTS WIN A BRILLIANT VICTORY ; (Special to the Whig.)
