MONDAY, OCT, 22

London: Germany scored in a dash into the North Sea on . Saturday, when two swift and heavily-armed cruisers slipped through the cordon and sank two British destroyers, with nine .out of twelve convoyed ships. destroyers were the Strongbow and Mary Rose. Their officers and crews, numbering -135, were all Jost. The merchantmen des- troved were five Norwegian, three Swedish and one Danish,

The Huns suffered. little leas than disaster in the air, four— probably five—zeppelins, believed to have been returning from a raid on England, being brought down in France by airplane and anti-aircraft fire,

Zeppelins made a raid on the east coast and London on Satur- day, dropping a shower of bombs. Reports give the number killed as 27, with 53 injured.

Enemy artillery showed preat activity yesterday and last even- ing on the battlefront between Tower Hamlets and Ypres-Rou- lers railway. On the Aisne and Verdun fronts German guns are most active, but no gains recom- pense them. Just why they dis- play sueh persistence at Verdun puzzles military critics, who re- gard these offensives as sheer wastefulness.

London: ‘Local, attacks were made by British forces yesterday, on both sides of Ypres-Staden railway. For five or six days our artillery has" been exceedingly active in this sector, indicating a resumption of Haig’s offensive, The assault reported today, how- ever, is specifically identified asa series of locat-attacks in advance of a general. offensive blow.

France’s coup in destroying four raiding zeppelins on Saturday and crippling two-or three moré gave powerful impetus today to _ the demand for the immediate

-assumption. of an aerial offensive by Great Britain. -The King and Queen are reported to be m favor of reprisals.
