ZEPPELIN BR UGHT DOWN BY GUNS OF WARSHIP
GERMAN ZEPPELINS
RAID ENGLAND.
LONDON, Jan. 20.—The long
threatened German air raid which has
kept the English people In a slate of
(tread and fear for so many weeks
took place last night and today the
whole of England Is in a state of un
suppressed excitement, if not of fear, at
the terrible danger with which they are
threatened.
Tile raid last night was made by Zep
pelins in an attempt to blow up the
residence of Queen Alexandria the wid
ow of King Edward, at Sandringham
Bombs were dropped from great heights
doing no damage to the palace, the
bombs having missed their mark, and
only striking upon palace grounds
The attack was evidently an attempt
upon the Itves of King George and
Queen Mary who only returned yester
day from a visit to King George's i
mother Rt Sandringham Palace, arriv
ing at Buckingham late yesterday
afternoon. It is generally thought that
by means of numerous German spies,
who are known to be scattered through
out England, the every movement of
the King 1b known and that the visit
of the King and Queen had been report
ed to the Germans and hence the at
tack upon the royal residence.
The jx-ople of the towns over which
the Zeppelins passed quailed with fear
as they heard the noise of the motors
but were unable to see the machines.
The night was calm but cloudy, con
ditions most favorable for a Zeppelin
raid, enabling the raiders to escape the
tire of the aero guns which have been
widely distributed along the coast and
at interior points.
Bombs wore dropped upon the towns
of Yarmouth, Kings Lynn. Sandring
luun, Cromer. Sheringham and Boston.
The extent of the damage done is not
yet known. Many bombs were dropped
on these towns, destroying many build
ings and many people must necessarily
have been killed by the raid of these
monsters of the air which can only be
ascertained os more detailed acrounts
are received.
The London search lights were kept
busy all through the night but were
unable to pick up any trace of the air
ships.

WARSHIP 8UCCE88FULLY
BRINGS DOWN ZEPPELIN.
KINGS LYNN. Jan. 20.—The Zep
pellns after raiding this place turned
their ships homeward across the North
sea and endoavored to sink a warship
which was not far from the coast. The
Zeppelin airship did not realize Its
close proximity until the searchlight
from the British warship flashed upon
them followed by a well directed shot
from the guns of the vessel which suc
cessfully disabled the Zeppelin, bring
ing it down.
