It passéd over Alost toward Termonde and Ghent and then returned toward Antwerp and tried to fy over the city, but for a time a heavy artillery fire kept it out- side the outer fortifications. “At 3 o'clock this® morning five or six bombs were dropped from it. Later seven bombs were dropped in the Parc Du_Rosignol, close to some houses which have been converted. into hos- pitals and which were flving the Red Cross flag. These housese were dam- aged and 10 or 12 persons slightly wounded. After the bomb dropping ex- ploits, the Zeppelin rose and disap- Dpeared in the direction of Malines. “An examination of the bombs thrown showed they had a thin double covering, the two covers being joined together with mushroom-shaper rivets Which act the part of bullets and are liable to cause terrible injury when the covers are burst by the exploslon. They are similar to those used by the Bonnet motor car bandits in France. “This morning the Belgian authori. ties conducted the United States con- sul to the Red Cross buiidings which were struck by bombs, so that he might see the extent of the dam: done.

The foreign office Gid not comply with the request, but it was under- stood that the Chinese troops would be instructed not to oppose the Japan- ese.

Whether British forces will _cross Shan-Tung peninsula with the Japan- ese is not divulged, but the point is much discussed here. o GERMAN AND FRENCH - AIRSHIPS IN BATTLE.
