NEWS OF THE WEEK.
ON Wednesday afternoon the Admiralty announced that a Zeppelin visited the North-East Coast on Tuesday evening, dropping bombs. "Some fires were started, but they were overcome." Sixteen deaths (including a policeman) were reported from the district and forty wounded. Very properly no indication is given, nor should any one seek to inquire, where the raid took place. The same Admiralty communica- tion adds that the airship raid on another portion of the North-East Coast on the night of June 6th is now found to have resulted in twenty-four deaths—all civilians—five men, thirteen women, and six children. There were also forty cases of more or lase serious injury. It is added that the principal fires were in a drapery shop, a timber yard, and a terrace of small houses.
