So far as can be learned, the effect of the raid was inconsequential. The first town attacked was Colchester, in Essex County, on the Colne River, 12 miles from the sea. Only one bomb was dropped there, and the aeroplane squadron, the number of machines engaged being unknown, Aisappeared to the westward.

When the men protest- ed that they were starving they were told: "Your friends in Eng- land ,h.ave gut off our food supply.” ers thought this was the reason for their rough treatment in the Ger, man camps. One non-commissioned officer said: Spanish Steamer Reported . _ Sunk by a Mine. A despatch from London says: A lifeboat belonging to the Spanish steamer Horacio has been found off the Goodwin Sands. The Horacio has not been reported since she left Bilbao a week ago for Hartlepool. It is feared she has struck a mine or been torpedoed. She carried a crew of 30 men. A despatch from Berlin says: British and French warships are blockading the Bulgarian port of Dedeagatch to prevent the impor- tation through it of foodstuffs des- tined,for Germany and Austria, according to a Constantinople des- patch made public by the Overseas News Agency on Wednesday. L "The police judged from the sound {of the engine that the aeroplane ‘Was going toward Harwidh. At ‘albout the same time incendiary bombs were dropped on Braintree.

A bomb also fell in a field at Cog- geshall, and made a hole eight feet by two. The only effect, it had was to stampede a number of horses that were grazing nearby. Not a soul was hurt: ' Foodstuffs From Bularia Stopped by the Allies. A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Athens says that the Turks, expecting the entrance of the allied fleet into the Sea of Marmora, have sent troops and heavy artillery to allbhe islands in that sea.

No one on either vessel was injured, but the Saturno was damaged so badly that she was unable. to sail home. It is believed the Zeppelin started from the aearodrome at Zee- brugge, and crossed the allied lines at Nieuport while it was still dark. British prisoners." This encroachment of German under-the-water craft into the wa- ters of the Irislh Bea, is likely to cre- ate more uneasiness among British shipping men than did the previous exploits of the U-21, which preced- ed the announcement of the war zone, and therefore were consider- Squadrons of British torpedo- boat destroyers patrolled the wa- tens of the Irish Sea, Saturday in search of three German subrnar- ines which had been sighted by pat- rol ships on the routes leading from the south toward Liverpool, The hostile vessels were off the coast of Wales, undoubtedly waiting for the appearance of a British ship. Ap- parently they were not attempting to attack the guard squadrons of destroyers. The presence of Ger- man submarines in the Liverpool steamship lane caused considerable anxiety here. A despatch from London says: The German campaign against British shipping took a more dis- quieting turn Saturday, the third day since the blockade order went into effect, in the sinking by sub- marines of the Cardiff steamer Cambank, on the north coast of Anglesey, Wales, 50 miles west of Liverpool, and the Irish coasting steamer Downshire in the Irish Sea. The Cambank was sunk right in the path of the big trains-Atlan- tic liners which make Liverpool their pert. The attack on the Dinorah was the direct cause of an order sus- pending the daily steam service be- tween Dieppe and England. It is believed that a number of hostile submarines are now in Channel wa- ters and that unusual precautions should be taken. The U16 is re- ported to have been the one that tried to sink the Dinorah. The French ship Dinorah, from Havre for Dunkirk, likewise sur- vived her experience. She was 16 miles off Dieppe early Friday when an explosion lifted her stern out of the water and stove in a plate on the port side below the waterline. Word of the Dinorah's predica- ment was taken to Dieppe by fish- ing boats, and tugs came to her as- sistance, towing her safely to port, where her cargp will be discharged. A German submarine was reported off Cape Ailly, France, several days ago. A despatch to Lloyd's from Dover reports that the steamer Belridge is now anchored in the Downs, and that arrangements are being made for her to proceed to Thames Ba- ven conveyed by a tug. An official statement issued by the Admiralty Friday night; says the Norwegian tank steamer Bel, ridge was struck by a torpedo fired by a German submarine near Folk- stone. Pieces of the torpedo, it is asserted, have been found on the ship, which did not sink, but was badly damaged and was beached at Walmer, near Dover, in a sink, ing condition. She sailed fro New Orleans on January 28 and from Newport News on February 5 for Amsterdam. A boat containing 18 of the crew and the British Ad, miralty pilot was landed safely, the captain and iRiriiiiii' detachment remaining on board to make re- pairs.

A despatch from Kingston' says: Bugler William Peppiatt, son of Serge-Major Peppiatt, R.C.H.A., will be the youngest Kingston boy to go overseas. He is attached to the%Y2nd Battery, and is only four- teen years of age. Mrs. W. It. Stark, Elderly Widow, _ Detail; Son Wounded Himself. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Mrs. W. R. Stark, an elderly wi- dow, is dead, and her son, George Stark, aged 30 years, is in the Gen- eral Hospital as a result of a shoot, ing affray at their home, 814 Wil. liam Avenue. It is believed that George Stark, after coming home early Wednesday evening, became involved in a quarrel with his mo- ther, shot her with a revolver, and then turned the weapon on himself. He may recover. BUGLER 0F FOCRTEEN GOING, The reply states/however, that the British Government has no in- tention of advising, merchant ship- ping to use foreign flags as a gen- eral practice or to resort to them except for the purpose of escaping capture or destruction. It declares also that if the obligation of visit and search is not adhered to and neutral ships are sunk without re- gard to the dictates of inteamation- al law and humanity, the onus for such action will rest upon the Gov- ernment ordering that such obli- gation should be. disregarded. If this obligation upon a belli- gerent warship is met, the note says, the hoisting of a neutral flag aboard a British ship cannot possi- bly endanger neutral shipping. But Only For the.Purpose of Es- caping Capture or Destruction. A despaUh from London says: The British Foreign Office has is- sued its reply to the American note of Feb. 12 concerning the use of the United States flag by British mer- cantile vessels. The document shows that the Government will not bind itself to guarantee that neu- tral flags will not be employed in the future under the same cireum- stances as attended the Lusitania case, that gave rise to the protest from Washington. . l The Evelyn is the first American vessel to meet with disaster as a re- Unit of the sea, warfare of the Euro- }rpean nations. She did not sink (within the war zone included in the German Admiralty’s decree of Feb. 4, which went into effect on Thurs, day. NERUTAL FLAGS WILL BE FLOWN The submarines up to the pre- sent have demonstrated their abil- ity only to attack slow steamers or those lying at anchor, as a number of liners have passed to and fro in the Irish Bea where the German craft have been at work without be- ing approached. In fact, with res- pect to Liverpool and other west coast ports the arrivals and de- partures have been above the Sat, urday and Sunday average, accord- ing to Eloyd’s list. In addition to the two boats sunk by the submarines, the American freighter Evelyn and the Norweg- ian steamer Bjarkra were sunk by mines in the North Sea. ed more or less as sporadic raids. Saturday's attack in the waters ap- proaching Liverpool is considered as.the flrst step in a consistent cam- palgn against shipping in these waters. FATAL SFIOOTING AFFRAY.

Orders have been issued that hereafter all soldiers of France shall receive half a litre of wine each day. This order follows the announcement that there is double the quantity of wine on hand that was believed in storage. TWG / AIRSHIPS WBE’UKEB Four Members of Zeppelin's Crew Were Drowned "The forts on both sides of the en- trance then opened fire, and were engaged at moderate ranges by the Vengeance, Cornwallis, Triumph, Suffren and Bouvet, supported by the Inflexible and the Agamernnoh at long range. The forts on the Europeamside were apparently sil, enced. One fort on the Asiatic side was still firing when the opera- tions were suspended owing to the failing light. No ship of the allied fleet was hit." Considerable effect was produced on two of the forts. Two others were frequently hit, but being open earthworks is was difficult to esti- mate the damage. The forts, being outranged, were unable to reply to our fire. In the afternoon a portion of the battleship force was ordered to close in and engage the forts at closer range with their secondary armament. The bombardment must have been omrof the most serious ever under- taken, in the opinion of, naval ex- perts, for no fewer than eight battleships and armoured cruisers took part, these warships having a total of 30 12-inch and six 10-inch guns, which outnanged the guns of the forts. Early Friday morning this fleet, including the British battle cruiser Inflexible, which had just returned from the Falkland Islands, where, with other ships, she took part in the battle in which Admiral Count von Spee's German squadron was destroyed, opened a long-range bombardment on the forts at Cape Helles and at Kum Kalesi, at the entrance to the straits. Tht British report said that the forts on the European side of the straits were silenced Friday, and that only one of the forts on the Asiatic side was still firing Friday evening, while none of the warships had been damaged. The Greek ac- counts said that the Asiatic forts were silenced. Thirty-two British and French Ships Attack the Defences of Constantinople. A despatch from London says: The first serious attack by the Brit- ish and French Mediterranean fleets consisting of 32 warships, assisted by aeroplanes and seaplanes, on the Dardanelles forts, which com- menced Friday has met with con- siderable success, according to the British official account. and un- official reports received at Athens from the Island of Tenedos, at the entrance to the straits. The Turk- ish official report, however, declar- ed that no damage had been done to the forts, and that the casualties of the defenders consisted of one killed and one wounded, but that three ofthe warships were damaged by shots from the forts.

In all, three officers and eight men escaped. Count Pla- ten had both of his legs broken. The airship drifted to sea. The French second light squadron was informed to keep a sharp look- out in the Channel for the submar, ine, The French Minister of Mar- ine anuounces that a. torpedp beat belonging to the squadron sighted the submarine eight miles south- south-west of Cape Alprech, near Boulogne, and immediately. opened fire, arid succeeded in scoring sev- eral hits before the submarine was sable to dive. The announcement adds that a, wide patch of oil. was seen afterwards on the sea at the spit Where the submarine disap- peared, and from} this it is presumed that the submarine was wrecked. The captain of the Victoria hom ever, saw the characteristic wal.gtt made by the torpedo, and slowed, down his vessel, and the torpedo passed harmlessly about, 100 feet in front of her. A despatch front London says? A German submarine Ered at a torpedo at the cross-Channel steam- er Victoria while she was on a. voy- age from Boulogne to Folkestone Monday night. The submarine had been lying in the English Channel in wait for steam packets. There were nearly one hundred passengers on the Victoria including several Americans.
