BRITAIN SUFFERS MOST
DISASTROUS AIR RAID OF WAR
A P. A. Service.
LONDON, Feb. 1.—London was
again thrown into consternation this
morning by the announcement in the
#
newspapers that Geiman air raiders
last night visited upon England the
most disastrous air raid that has so
far occurred since the beginning of
the war. The activities of the German
Zeppelins were this time directed
against the towns )n Staffordshire,
Lincolnshire and Leicestershire and
incomplete reports that five persons
were killed and a total of sixty seven
were injured in the attacks,
Six of the Zeppelins took part In
the attack and that the raids were not
more terrible in their destructive ef
fects is due to the fact that the opera
tions of the Germans were greatly
hampered by heavy mists. As It was
the Germans were enabled to accom
plish an Immense amount of destruc
tion on the more prominent towns, on
some of which, as many as twenty
bombs were dropped as the air ships
circled aloft In wide circles covering
t ie g. eater part of the three counties
An official announcement of the
raid issued this morning indicates that
the record of dead and injured may
be considerably increased as the re
ports from all of the cities involved
in the attack were not yet complete.
Reports to the newspapers Indicate
that the Zeppelins were evidently
aiming their attack for Manchester and
Sheffield but were probably unable to
locate those points owing to the heavy
weather conditions.
Falling in this object, they appar
ently turned on the cities of the coun"
ties named. The reports from the
districts vlsted state that the Germans
must have dropped several hundred
bombs before retreating. As the sec
tion visited Is almost unguarded
against aerial attack, the Germans
were able to operate with impunity
and It is believed that the fogs alone
prevented an Immense amount of de
struction. The majority of the sufferers
from the exploding bombs were women
and children. The raid hits created a
sensation throughout Britain and has
again swelled the enlistments to al
most unmatched proportions

ISTS SWEEPING
SOUTHERN CHINA
A. P. A. Servlc*.
HONGKONG, Feb. 2.—At no time
since the enforced abdication of tiie
Manehus has the internal situation of
China reached a more ci Ideal state
than exists at present, according to
advices received here from Canton.
Sedition is rife in practically every
one of the southern provinces, and a
state of open revolution exists .in
many places and Is gradually extend
ing over the whole country.
The rebel armies operating in the
Kansu and SzeChuan provinces con
tinue uniformly successful and have
apparently swept aside all opposition
from the Yuan soldiers. Severe fight
ing has taken place at Tung Chuan
and Pao-nlng, Important towns of the
Sze-Chuan section, and both are now
in the hands of the rebels.
The revolters are now marching
northward in the direction of Singan
Fu and It is expected that another big
battle will be fought over the pos
session of that city as ther Is a strong
garrison of Yuan troops quartered
there. Reports of revolution in the
I
northern provinces are dally arriving
at Pekin and to all appearances that
section will soon be In open revolt
against Yuan. The weak reslstence
of the Yuan soldiers Is perhaps the
greatest factor in the success of the
rebels, who are In no way equipped
to meet the trained and seasoned
soldiers of the government.
Reports of wholesale desertions to
the rebels are received after every
encounter and It is believed here that
fully half of Yuan’s army are secretly
In sympathy with the Insurrectionists
and will desert at the first opportunity
The government is making frantic
efforts to stem the tide of revolt but
with apparently no success and to all
appearances Yuan's holdon the country
is daily growing weaker.

great wall of China and an advance
guard of twenty thousand men, well

Into China with the evident intention
of proceeding on to Perkin.
It is also reported that the Mon
golian army Is under the direction
of Manchu leaders In the rebellion and
are well equipped and in perfect con
dition to overcome the Yuan troop9
which are being sent to oppose their
passage to the capital. From all ac
counts the situation In China Is grow
ing exceedingly serious and It Is feared
that the growing spirit of revolt will
sweep the country.

WASHIOXTON, Jan. 2.—The arriv
al of the British liner Appam at
Newport News has created a situation
which may prove epochal In the re
lations betwen the United States, Ger
many and Britain, according to the
statements given out by state depart
rient officials today.
The mystery surrounding the Appam
has not yet been cleared. Owing to
the fact that the German flag is flying
at the mast head nothing was permit
ted to be known here as to what ha
happened aboard of the vessel and the
bare reports delivered to tl e Newpor
News authorities are all the detail -
that have so far reached the stab
dpartment Both the officials of the
department and the Newport authori
ties are In a quandary as to what shall
be done with the vessel
Long distance messages from the
collector of customs at Newport this
morning asked instructions of Secre
tary McAdoo, who was, however, un
able to say anything relative to the
disposal of the steamer until further
advices have been obtained.
It Is freely admitted In official circles
that the circumstances surrounding the
vessel are novel In the extreme and
will probably raise questions if the
gravest Importance as both Britain
and Germany will probably dispute
whatever action the United States
may take.
Ambassador Spring-Rico was In
communication with the B-it'sh foreign
office during the night and is today
pending a representative tn Norfolk
presumably to secure Information pre
liminary to making an attempt to se
cure noss'-srlon of the v, ssel. It is
generally conceded that he will attempt
to recover the liner for 1i1b government
It la nlso believed here that Britain
will Insist that the Appam Is an Illegal
prize and that the Germans brought
her to a neutral port for the purpose
of avoiding recapture.
