Invaders Past Over Canterbury. Drop Bombs at Chatham Military Station, Visit Sittingboume and S. eerne if Allies' Aviators Shell German Towns.

London. April 17. -The third German aerial raid on England within thirty-six hours, and menacing activity of the kaisers high seas Meet under Its new commander in chief. Admiral von Pohl, has created extraordinary alarm and led to the belief that a concentrated offensive by land and sea la being actively planned by Germany. The appearance of a German aeroplane on the outskirts of London during the day has uroused grav e anxiety, as it is the first actual aerial uicuace to the capital. Aeroplanes ulso dropped bombs near the Chatham naval station, passing within ten miles of London. Taubes also raided Kent in the afternoon. Hombs were dropped at Heme Hay, Sittingboume and Fa vershsm. Two hostile rivers appeared over Canterbury, but retired without attempting to damage the famous cathedral. Extraordinary precautions have been taken to guard against further Zeppelin raids as night. This aeriai activity taken by exerts to be in the nature of a scouting expedition to pick a way for a concerted attack Naval developments point to the same conclusion. German Navy Menace. Discussing the German naval menace, a recognized Hritish authority says the appearance of cruiser squadrons in the North sea and destroyers near Holland must not be regarded lightly. In the aeroplane raid on Kngland one German taube cropped several hombs upon Faversham at about 2 p. m. and then proceeded to Sitting bourne, where it dropped one bomb. After passing over Sittingboume the aeroplane proceeded for Queensborough and Sheerness, with a Pritish plane in pursuit. The German plane was fired upon and apparently bit. It dipped Bharply. but ascended and continued at terrific speed. The appearance of a German aerial scout at a high altitude over Selby. In the Yorkshire district of Kngland, as reported in Ixmdon dispatches, the German official announcement of an aeroplane bombardment of Greenbridge, in the heart of the capital, and reports of the aerial bombardment of Strassburg. capital of Alsace Lorraine, were the chief developments on Saturday in the recent unprecedented activity of aerial combatants in the European war zone. The lack of news from England of further German air raids, which have been of daily occurrence since Zeppelin attacks on Wednesday night, is interpreted in this country to mean that rigid censorship has been placed on news of this character. Two Struck in Strasburg. Amsterdam, April 17. A hostile airship at 1:91 o'clock Saturday morning dropped twelve bombs on the city of Strassburg. capital of Alsace-Lorraine. Searchlights showed it disap pearing In a northerly direction under bombardment of antiainrnft guns.
