A number of Zeppelins visiteu the East Coast on Monday night, and the following official messages were subsequently issued by the Commander-in-Chief of ttte Home Forces:— Press Bureau, 1.25 a.m.—An attack by a number of hostile air- ships developed before midnight last night. The raiders were reported crossing our coast lines along the eastern and south-eastern counties. Bombs were being dropped off the' Thames estuary. The attack is pro- ceeding. "CONSIDERABLE NUMBER." Press Bureau, 3 a.m.—To-night's air raid appears to have been carried out by a considerable number of air- ships. The raiders appear to have spent some time cruising over the counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, Essex, Kent aDd Huntingdon. Bombs were dropped somewhat indiscriminately over localities possessing no military importance. At one spot anti-air- craft guns came into action with, it is believed, good effect. Full details of the raid are not yet to hand. A South-East Coast correspon- dent of the Press Association tele- phoned :-A Zeppelin appeared over here about, midnight. It was prompt- ly picked up by the searchlights, and fired upon, and turned from its course. It then made off seaward. As far as is known only one bomb y/as dropp d. No damage was done. ONE HIT BY OUR GUNS. A .Press Association South-east Coast corespondent "nvrore ttilcf- night the coast was vis tor] by one or more Zeppelins. Residents here were notified of the danger V the firing of anti-aircraft, guns, and tho etreers and pi omt-nades were soon flironged with people. One Zel)- pelin vas plainly seen by the aid of a searchlight, bid: it did not approach any- where near the town. It was apparently struck by one shell, as it was seen to come down a considerate distance. It was soon afterwards lost: to Right in the darkne^ss. Aerial torpedoes were need by the Zeppelin. Thiw torpedoes were seen plainly travelling through the air, and one exploded some distance over the sea. No bombs were dropped on t1'>{' town. BOMBS DROPPED ON MARSHES. A Press Association correspondent tele- graphs: The visit ot a ZXeppelin to the outskirts of an East Coast town was heralded by sounds of gun-lire from the south. Anti-aircraft, guns had got to work, and had it not been for the thick mist which suddenly rolled up from the, sea there is no d01;bt there would have effective practice. The raider semued to think so too, for it turned out, and then came inland in a northerly direction, then it struck due west. This was about half- past. ten. The machine hovered for a space as if uncertain of its bearings, and then continued ios course, the sound gradually dying away. Later on loud explosions were heard, together with a fainT: whirring, which evidently came from other aircraft in the district. At 11.15 whirring was also heard in a southerly direction, gradually increasing as the Zeppelin made for the sea, and then died away as it went on its homeward journey. There was a further resumption of engine noise about 2 o'clock, and it is surmised that other Zeppelins were mak- ing tracks for their lairs. In a village eouth of the town incendiary bombs were dropped, and further away other bombs were dropped on marshes. Throughout the visitation the people were perfectly calm, and the only feeling was one of re- j gret that the dense mist prevented the 0 gun- ners from making sure of the raiders.

HARD IMS AHEAD I
HARD IMS AHEAD I KAISER'S PROCLAMATION TO THE CtRffiAN rOSCES BLAME FOR BLOODSHED I Amsterdam, Tuesday.—According to a I Berlin telegram, the Kaiser has issued the following proclamation to the German forces on land and sea:— "Comrades!—The second year of the. world war has elapsed. Like the first year it was for Germany's arms a year of glory. On all fronts you have inflicted new and heavy blows on the enemy. W hether the enemy retreated, borne down by the force of your ,attacks, or whether, reinforced by foreign assistance (collected' and pressed into service from .all parts of the world), he tried to rob you of the fruits ¡}f your former victories, you have always yourselves superior to him. E,-n. where England's tyranny was L"J \I .1 t, 0'" l 'J' d- uncontested, namely, on the free waves of the sea, you have victoriously fought against gigantic superiority. Your Kaiser's appreciation and your grateful country's proud admiration are assured you for these deeds, for your unshaken loyalty, your bold baring and your tena- cious bravery. Like the memory of our dead heroes, your fame also will endOr-o through all time. Laurels which our over- confident forces have won against the enemy in spite of trials and dangers are inseparably linked with devoted and un- tiring labour at home. This strength at home has sent ever fresh inspiration to the armies in the field. It has continually quickened our swords, kindled Germany's enthusiasm, and terrified the enemy. My gratitude and that of the Father- land is due to the nation at home. But the strength and will of the enemy.are not yet broken. We must continue the severe struggle, in order to secure the safety of the beloved homeland and preserve the honour of the Fatherland and the great- ness of the Empire. Whether the enemy wages war by force of arms, or by cold, calculating malice, we shall continue as before into the third year of war. The spirit of duty to the, Fatherland and an bending will to victory permeate our homes and our fighting forces to-day as in the first days of the war. With God's gracious help, I am convinced that your future deeds will equal those of past. WILHELM. Main Headquarters, 31st July, 1916." DESPATCH TO THE IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR. According to a Berlin official telegram the ivaiser has sent the following to the Imperial Chancellor:— For the second time the anniversary of the day arrives when our enemies forced me to call Germany's sons to arms to pro- tect the honour and existence of the Elll- pire. The German nation has been thmjiaiL—two years of unprecedented li? ?ic m-i-oic p ariny and navy, in union with our loyal and brave allies, have gained the highest glory in attack and defence. IV.any thousand's of our orave brethren have sealed their loyalty to the Fatherland with their blood. In the west and east our heroic men in the field resist in unshaken for- titude the terrible onslaught of the enemy. Our brave young lieet on the, glorious day of tfie Skagerrak inflicted a. heavy blow on the British armada. Deeds of untir- ing sacrifice and loyal comradeship at the front glow brightly before my eyes. At home also we see the heroism of men and women, of old and vourig, all quietly and bravely bearing the mourning and anxiety, of all who organise and help to lessen the suffering caused by the war, of ill who labour day and night unceasingly to supply our fighting brothers in the trenches and at sea with uhe neecssary j armaments. The enemy's hopes to out- strip yen, production of war material will prove as unattainable as their pl,,w to secure by starvation what their sword could not attain. God's blessing on Ger- many s fields lias rewarded the farmers more bountifully than we had dared to hope. South and north in friendly rivalry strive to get the best means for the even distribution of foodstuff's and other necessaries. To all those fighting on either the battlefield or at home, my heartfelt thanks Still hard times are ahead. After the terrible torm of two years' war the 4iesiro for sunshine and peace is stirring in all human hearts. But the war continues be- cause the battle cry of the enemy Govern- ments is still the destruction of Germany. Blame for further bloodshed falls only on our enemies. CONFIDENCE IN. INVINCIBILITY I The tirm confidence has never left me that Germany is invincible, in spite of the superior numbers of our enemies, and every day confirms this anew. Germany knows she is fighting for her existence, she knows her strength, and she relies on God s he.p. 1 hereto re nothing can shake her determination or her end urance. We shall bring this struggle to such an end that our Empire will be protected against future attack, and that a free field will be assured for a peaceful development of German gatnius and labour. We shall live free- secure and strong among the nations of the world. This right nobody shall -or will snatch from us. I ask you to m-ake I this manifesto public."

8 MONTHS UNCONSCIOUS. I The strange case of a man who hae been unooluscious for eight months, from the effects of an accident, was mentioned in a compensation claim in the Lord Mayor's Court on Monday.

I PURIFYING THE DRAMA. I
PURIFYING THE DRAMA. The Bishop of Northampton, preaching at the Actors' Mass of the Catholic Stage Guild at Corpus Christi Chapel, Maiclen- lane, on Monday, said tha.t when one con- sidered the special difficulties of ihe theatrical profession, the wonder was not tha.t so many fell, but that so many wera examples of holy and devout living. We ought to be able to look to the great managers for their assistance in tho important work of purifying the modern drama. It is up to them to offer the pnh- lic not that which the depraved part of the public craves for, but that which the public ought to crave for. It is up te tbeni to foster genuine talent and protect it against the unfair competition of pretty faces and loose morals."

MIDDLESBRO'S TOLL BARS. No town in Great Britain ha.s been so fenced in by toll bars as Middlesbro'. j Untilronday there were six blocking the main entrances to the town, but the muni- cipality, uDder Parliamentary powers re- cently conferred, have bought out the rights of owners of -the five toll bars 1 within the borough, and on Monday the barriers were formally abolished and the highways declared free of toll.

A RAPID DEATH. Extraordinary medical evidence about the effects of a lightning stroke were heard at the inquest at Errington, Birmingham, on Monday on Frederick Wiltshire, who was killod by lightning last Thursday. A doctor stated that there was only one matrk on the body, and that, was on the &ole of the foot. It was about the size of a three- penny piece, and was probably the point of exit; no point of entrance was to be seen. Death was due to shock caused by the passage of electric fluid through the body, and the duration of the shock would be a millionth part of a second.

WELSH EDUCATION.
WELSH EDUCATION. In view of the ajpointment of Lord Haldane's Commission on Welsh Univer- sity and Collegiate Education, and the fact that Wales' higher educational sys- tem is in the melting pot, a sc heme, very 1 influentially initiate^ has been set afoot for the purpose of Baking all secondary and higher educittioi free in Wales and Monlllouthshire. T suggestion is that: the cost should be grayed by a penny rate in £ district^ with a pound for pound Treasury grait. The University Ccurt of Wales was to have met the Welsh M.P.'s this week to discuss Lord HaHane's Commission's work and Welsh education generally, but it was found imposable to arrange a meet- ing at sucdi short notice. It has therefore had to be postjxmec until after the recess —say the end of September or the begin- ning of October.
WAR ON FISHERMEN.

While drifting in their boat the Breton Ash crew saw the srutenarine attaxjk the Titanda. The fishing boat Diadem picked up one crew, and while going to the aid of the other was fired upon by the submarine. ONE SUNK: ONE ESCAPED.

CAPTAIN FRYATT.I
CAPTAIN FRYATT. Germany Defends the Infamous Crime. Amsterdam, Tuesday.—The Echo Beige states it was either Adinir,:I Schroeder or a pseudo field court-martial that ordered the murder of Captain Fryatt. The official German reply to Viscount Grey says:—The British Government's statement intentionally misleads the public. Captain Fryatt did not attempt to forestall an underwater attack without warning by a submarine. The U-boat was above water, and signalled to him when above water to stop, according, .to the International Code of Naval Warfare. Therefore, he did not merely attempt to 6ave the lives of his crew, because they were not endangered. Moreover, on the 28th March, 1915. Cap- tain Fryatt allowed a submarine that was approaching his ship for the purpose of examination, to draw up close so as to ram her suddenly and unexpectedly, his object being to destroy her and so gain the reward offered by the British Govern- ment. This act was not an act of self- defence, but a cunning attack by hired assassins. Captain Fryatt boasted of his. action, though happily he failed to attain his object. This was brought home to him during the trial by witnesses from the crew of the submarine in question, whose evidence was against him. The British Parliament believed he had suc- ceeded, and praised his conduct, and the British Government rewarded him. The German War Tribunal sentenced him to death been use he had performed an act of war against German sea forces, although he did not belong' to the a rmed forces of hi6 country. He was not deliberately shot in cold blood, without due consideration, as the British Government asserts, but ho was shot al a franc-tireur after calm con- si deration and thorough investigation. As martial law on land protects the I soldiery against assassination by threaten- ing tlw offpnder wi th the penalty of death, so it protects the members of the sea forces against assassination at sea. Germany will continue to use this #

Mr. John Ivaye, of Dunford Bridge. 'Yorkshire, is w-orking on his farm at the age of ninety-one. A herd of big elephants formed one of the unscheduled surprises for a patrol in East Africa. Machine hands of seventeen are earning as much as JM 5s. 8d. a week in Sheffield munitions factories. Some South London bakers who lowered the price of bread to 7d. per quartern, have raised it again to 7'.d. No parcel for a sailor on service will be accepted unless the scolder's name and ad- dress are shown on the cover. Early discussion of the financial posi- tion of the Statutory Pensions Committee is promised by Mr. Asquith. Somerset police have presented a sword to a former constable named Mappledoran, who has received a commission on the field. A large stretch of furze on I'lumstead- common was destroyed as the result of a smoker carelessly throwing èf match away. Sidney Peroy Ball, 28, of Peterboro', was drowned while bathing at Walton Lynch, near Peterboro'. His wife witnessed the tragedy. Arrangements have been made, Lord Robert Cecil told Parliament, to allow foreign fishing vessels to land fresh fish in certain British ports.

Seized with cramp when within a few feet of having swum across the Thames, Albert Sullivan, of Cliertsey, aged 14, sank and was drowned. One of the strange midsummer features of the war on the Italian sector is the sight of soldiers being brought to hospital for treatment for frozen feet. Tea on the Terrace at the House of Com- mons is one of the luxuries that war ha.s swept away, and not even the present hot spell has sufficed to revivo it. The absence of scarlet dyes (Hying to the war has necessitated a change in tie colour of some of the ballots for forth exil- ing American political elections. The Navy has always been popular with boys, but since the Jutland battle, says a service paper, the number of candidates has largely exceeded the vacancies.
