AIR RAID IN GERMANY. SUCCESSFUL BRITISH INVASION. New York, July 7. Berlin reports a grout British aerial raid upon a German port, supposed to be Wilhelmshaveii, but no details have been received in London. Whilo the German statement reassures the German people that the attack was unsuccessful, and while there are 110 reports of heavy damage, it is realised that the amount of information gathered by re-' eonuoitring over Heligoland and the Kiel Canal will be most valuable to the Admiralty.
Some ( authorities assert that it is the most sognificant aerial success of the war, and that it partly accomplished its purpose and got away, apparently, without loss. It is quite probable the airmen dropped bombs and did considerable damage which the Germans will riot admit.
A German airship sighted the advancing British naval forces oft Terschelling Island, north of Holland, at dawn. It comprised several hydro-aeroplanes, accompanied by cruisers and destroyers.
