IN THE AIR.

GERMAN RAIDb. «IG CAMPAIGN PROMISED. London, Feb. 3. A German message says it is believed that tlie Zeppelin attacks on Liverpool accomplished their object of destroying the grain elevators. The raid v.-as not a reprisal for the Baralong case, but only the commencement of an air campaign whose object is the destruction of anything of military importance or food values, as long as England continues the policy of starving Germany. THE RAID ON SALONIKA. PROTESTS FROM PRO-GERMAN ■PRESS. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London. Feb. 0. Mr. Ward Price, reporting from Salonika, says he spent the night of the German air raid waiting with apprehension. The Greeks are calmer and indignant in the daylight. Even the proGerman |:ress protested that the air raid was nfft prevented. The British were holding a successful little race meeing to break the monotony while waiting for the enemy. A 6ergennt acted as "bookie," hanging out the sign of "the old firm," and the course was crowded with khaki, several officers who had been in the Allied raid appearing in correct staff cestume to the knees, with pyjama trousers and slippers. -Several French officers rode in the hurdles 'and steeples, and one remarked how the Bosches would denounce the British frightfulness for heartlessly sporting while Salonika was burning. A Calvert bomb struck a mosque full of Thracian refugees, killing a man, two women and a child, and wounding ten. Warships in the harbor were bombed unsuccessfully.
