London, April 16.-Gerrr.an ae roplanes this afternoon dropped bombi within 30 miles of London. F,rst appearing in Hearn Bay, about 50 miles of London, they made their way rapidly toward London and within a few minutes were reported at various towns C Canterbury. Haversham and other towns, not more than 30 mm away. They dropped bombs on each of these towns. Tins is the third German aer ial attack on the east coast of England within the last 36 hours. The to previous attacks were made at night by Zeppelins. Aerial onslaughts have not been limited to the Germans, however. French official reports claim a successful bombardment of the German headquarters in retaliation for a Zeppelin assault on Nancy. The German report says French airmen dropped bombs on several German towns unprotected by guns. London no longer considers it self immune from air raids- Zep pelins have traveled farther from their base than the distance to London and aeroplanes 30 miles from the capital and choosing their own course have brought a new conception of the effective range of this type of machine. The public is still skeptical of the power of harm of the Zeppe lins, however. It would appear that the latest air raiders have tied bombs of an incendiary character. Lai, a April HI.

GERMAN MOVEMENT ON HEIGHTS OF THE MEUSE On the Eastern Front Neither Side Is Claiming Any Headway. London, April 18. In land opera tions the French claim a brilliant suc cess north of Arras which completes the gain made near there last month. The German position, according to reports, was taken by bayonets. On the heights of the Meuse the Germans are evidently beginning a movement to retake Les Eparges. Ber lin claims to have repulsed all the French attacks and made the French offensive plan to take St. Mihlet untenable. On the eastern front neither side claims any headway. Dutch People Indignant. Ixindon, April 10. AUho it is not yet certain, that a German submarine sank the Dutch steamer Katwyk off the North Hinder Lightship, the de struction of the vessel has aroused the indignation, of the Dutch people as ev idenced by the editorials of newspa pers in Holland. The Katwyk, loaded with grain from Baltimore, consigned to the Dutch Rovernmeivt, Is reported to have been lying at anchor at the time of the ex plosion and to have been flying the Dutch flag. The Dutch newspapers insist that no mistake could have been made and that if a, German submarine actually torpedoed the steamer "we must expect, that the German govern ment will without loss of time be made responsible for Litis severe viola tion of the rights of neutral powers." The fact that the Dutch government was directly involved in the Katwyk'. cargo and that the news of the sinking of the steamer came immediately after announcement that four Dutch trawl ers had been seized by the Germans and taken to Zeehrugge apparently has heightened the feelings of the Hol landers. Next in interest to the sinking of (he Katwyk was the publication of a "White Paper" snowing Great Britain acknowledged that Britif-h cruisers had sunk the German cruiser Dresden In P -vnsv ju-s.-,! over lliirnham and I Chilean territorial waters and had "'i'!im;iH;i " may :iaie been t'n ' ' 0 !o'k. flyma over Ilarwick ,w ""win .( Ipswich.

The order continues the temporary injunction against paying Into the treasury $.r,0(MI interest for penalties for alleged failure to make reports. Counsel on both sides agreed to the postponement.

Turks Hint at Peace. Paris, April Bi - A special dispatch to the Temps tolls of a stormy war council, presided over by the Grand Vizier, Prince Said llalem, recently held in Constfliilinople, to decide upon measures ncessary to repel the Al lies' attackB. General Von der Goltz told the coun cil the German government probably would make an Important loan to Tur key shortly. During his recent visit to Berlin, he said, he impressed upon tho military authorities the urgent necessity of organizing another Aus- tro-orman invasion of Serbia, but confessed that lie was unable to ob tain assurance that this would be done. 'Germany and Austria," said Gen eral Von der Goltz, cannot now with draw a single battalion in order to aid Turkey." Thereupon Envir Pasha and Talaat Bey bitterly reproached von dor Goltz with Germany's abandonment of Tur key to the mercy of the Allies at the moment the Turkish capital was endangered. Talaat Bey cried: "It only remains for us to conclude a separate peace. The Grand Vizier begged Talaat Bey to remain calm and asked (ieneralh Von der Goltz and Llmon von Sand ers what guarantees Turkey had that she would not be attacked by Bulgaria at the moment the Allies' operations in the Dardanelles took a favorable turn.
