GERMAN AIR CRAFT MADE THE LONG THR EATENED RAIDS ON ENGLAND LAST NIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP THE KING'S ROYAL RESIDENCE IN SANDINGHAM, COUNTY OF I KING GEORGE AND QUEEN MARY, WHO HAVE BEEN STAYING AT SANDRINGHAM WITH THE FAMILY, RETURNED TO LONDON ONLY YESTERDAY. IT IS NOT DEFINITELY KNOWN WHETHER THE RAIDERS WERE ZEPPELINS OR AEROPLANES, BUT ZEPPELINS WERE REPORTED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AS PASSING OVER THE NORTH SEA IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION AND THERE IS AN INCLINATION TO BELIEVE THAT THESE WERE THE RAIDERS. BOMBS WERE DROPPED IN YARMOUTH, KINGS, LYNN, SANDRINGHAM, CROMER, SHEERINGHAM AND BEESTON. EVERYWHERE EXCEPT AT BEESTO THERE WERE CASUALTIES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTED. A ZEPPELIN WAS REPORTED BROUGHT DOWN BY FIRE FROM A WARSHIP AT, HUNSTANTON, A FEW MILES NORTH OF SANDRINGHAM.

NUMBER OF DEATHS IS NOT DEFINITELY KNOW3U. THE ROYAL RESIDENCE WAS UNDAMAGED, ALTHOUGH IT IS SAID BOMBS FELL IN THE KING'S ESTATE. THE NIGHT WAS CALM, BUT VERY DARK AND CLOUDY, WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE IN THE TOWNS OVER WHICH THE RAIDERS PASSED TO DISTINGUISH EVEF4 THE OUTLINES OF THE MACHINES, THOUGH THE WHIRR OF THE PROPELLERS DRIVING THEIR MOTORS WAS DISTINCTLY HEARD. 'v-Vf THE FIRST PLACE VISITED WAS THE WIDELY-KNOWN SEASIDE RESORT AND FISHING TOWN OF YARMOUTH. A MAN AND A WOMAN WERE KILLED AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS INJURED, AND MUCH DAMAGE TO PROPERTY WAS DONE BY THE RAIDERS ON THE VISIT, WHICH LASTED LESS THAN TEN MINUTES.

APPARENTLY THE RAIDERS THEN FLEW OVER CROMER, WHERE THEY DROPPED BOMBS, THEN THEY WENT TO SHEERINGHAM AND BEESTON. TURNING INLAND THERE, THEY MADE FOR SANDRINGHAM, LASTLY VISITING KING'S LYNN, WHERE A BOY WAS KILLED, AND A MAN, A WOMAN AND A CHILD INJURED. TWO HOUSES WERE DESTROYED. THE DAMAGE DONE AT SANDRINGHAM WAS TIOT REPORTED. IT IS KNOWN, HOWEVER, THAT THE ROYAL PALACE WAS NOT HARMED.

Considerable damage was done to prope-ty, and several lives were lost.

One man was found outside his home with, his head crushed. He was identified at Samuel Smith, a shoemaker. A woman yet unidentified was also found dead, while a soldier in Norfolk Square was wounded in the chest. Great excitement prevailed and the populace was panic stricken. Special constables, police and military were called out to calm the people, who streamed Out of their homes.

The electric supply was immediately shut off and the town was plunged into darkness.

The British are good fighters, hut the army without the necessary officers and non-commissioned officers is scarcely an army. We are fully prepared for any attempt at landing in Belgium and the sooner it comes the better." These are some of the phrased, full of quiet optimism, of Lieut. General Erich Von Falkenhayn, the German minister of war and chief of staff of the German armies in the fields, who granted the Associated Press the first interview given to any correspondent. He declared the war was not brought about by the military party In Germany, but that Germany is merely fighting in Belf-defense. "Our present situation is excellent," he said: "we have no cause to com-plain.

"We carried the war into the tnemy's country on both fronts; we are still there after five months ot 'war. Our present lines are very westerly direction. So far as ascertained thus far, these were the only casualties in Yarmouth, but owing to complete darkness as the result of cutting off the electric service, this statement cannot be accepted as definite. The greatest damage done by any bomb resulted from one which fell on St Peter's plain near St Peter's church, which damaged a whole row of houses, breaking all windows and littering the streets with slate from the roofs, and brick. KINGSLIND, Jan.

19. It was 10:40 when the loud whirr of an approaching Zeppelin was heard. They circled LONDON, Jan. 19. Weather conditions have' bocome so severe in France and Flanders, where there have been heavy falls of snow, that Tighting is confined almost entirely to artillery engagements.

There is an exception, however, to the southwest of Verdun near Pont A Mous-fien, where the French are reported to have approached within a few hundred yards near the German front. Of progress of hattles iu Kast Prussia and Poland official reports give less information than usual. Loquacity seems to be avoided when a big new movement is commencing, such as that which the Russians are carrying out between the East Prussian border and the lower Vistula. In this operation, so far as can be judged from scant details furnished, the Russians are making a big sweep to the west and north, evidently iii an endeavor to prevent Von Hinden-burg's forces from forming a junction with German troops in Daat Prussia. i Important If True.

A romance which interests the social circles of several cities culminated here when members of two families prpminent for generations in the political and financial history of the United States were married. They were Mrs. Anne Jack Bowyer, divorcee, who inherited most of the estate of her father, the late Edward Hampton Jack of Illinois and Caiuornia, and Gratz Kirk-wood Brown, civil engineer and wealthy land owner of Stockton. The two families of the couple have been strangely linked together for half a century. The groom's father many years ago established the St.

Louis Globe-Democrat. He was a personal friend of William S. Moss, Mrs. Brown's grandfather, and when the latter started a. paper in San.

Francisco he named it the San Francisco Globe-Democrat. B. Gratz Brown was governor of Missouri, I'nited States senator and a candidate for vice president with Horace Greeley. Each of the last five generations of the family has produced a United States senator. No less than three of Mrs.

Bow-yer's ancestors served in the United States senate, while the fortune amassed and kept intact through generations is among the largest of this country. Twelve years ago Mrs. Brown married Loralne F. Bowyer, a Chicago coal dealer. This matrimonial venture culminated in divorce three years later, however.
