IN THE AIR.

ANOTHER AIR RAID. ON the' east coast. Wellington, Yesterday. The Higli Commissioner reports, under date London, September 13, 4.10 p.m.: The Admiralty announces that the east coast was again visited by hostile aircraft last night. Bombs were dropped. NO CASUALTIES. AND LITTLE DAMAGE. Received Sept. 14, 10.5 p.m. London, Sept. 14. The Press Bureau announces that no casualties occurred during Sunday night's raid on the east coast, and the only damage was that some telegraph wires and some glass were broken. THE RAID ON LONDON. SATISFACTORY VERSION—TO GERMANS! Eeceived Sept. 14, 11.15 p.m. Amsterdam, Sept. 14. The Vorwaerts learns from a reliable source that by the air raid on Wednesday the district around IloDbom Viaduct (London) especially suffered. Many buildings collapsed and huge fires were observed. The Zeppelins heavily bombed a large industrial establishment at Norwich, and there were several prolonged detonations and fires. The aircraft also bombed the harbor works at Middlesborough, and the blast furnaces on the south bank, and Redcar railway station, with good result. REVENTLOW'S BLOW. . ADVOCACY OF RAIDING. Received Sept. 14, 11.15 p.m. Amsterdam, Sept. 14. Five Zeppelins this evening flew over Vlieland, westward. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, in an article by Count Reventlbw, says that the Germans learn with satisfaction of the activity of their airships over Loudon. It is no exaggeration to say that Germans have a burning desire that every effective weapon they possess shall be ruthlessly employed against England. Air attacks must not lie pinpricks, 'but must be undertaken en masse. London must be lavishly plastered with Zeppelin (bombs. Already one raid lias had good effects, and the main thing is to hit the enemy wherever she is vulnerable, with absolute ruthleflsncßS. We do not forget the premature joy of the English newspapers at tlio prospect of a famine in Germany and the suffering of our women and children. The bombs dropped on London were not intended to terrify the English. Our object is to destroy whatever is useful to their prosecution of tin: war, and therefore we hope for frequent repetitions of the attacks. REPRISALS. FRENCH AVIATORS' WORK.
