LONDON, June 5.--One of the
most spectacular raids yet made by
the German airmen was pulled off
..today when eight German taubes,
the old name being re-applied to
the new machine which is even
more strikingly similar to a bird
than the original planes to which
the name was given by those who
saw it from the ground, raided over
the Thames this afternoon.
Their flight was early reported
and the British flying squadron,
now a formidable force of ■ several
hundred up-to-the-minute flying ma
chines attacked the raiders in force.
One German tatfbe was downed
early in. the fight which was con
tinued late into Tuesday night. The
British flyers suffered no casual
ties.
The taubes are swift and appar
ently easily manipulated and repre
sent a big advE.nce in flying.
The raid was apparently made to
offset another raid which the Brit
ish had pulled off upon the Ger
man flyer bases in Belgium. The
British are reported to have done
considerable damage in their attack
tack upon the German stations.
LONDON, June 5.—The War Of
flee states that no material damage
was done by the raiding taubes this
afternoon. Each taube carried two
men. The downed machine fell in
the waters of the Thames and has
proved to be rot so seriously dam
aged. The machine guns of the
British flyers brought it to earth.

LONDON, June 5.—The British
offensive continues upon an en
larged scale today taking in practi
cally every section of the front
whereupon the forces of Haig are
located.
Gains continue, these being more
general than extensive while the
artillery is now being used much
more extensively than ever. The
new positions have all been held
successfully against repeated Ger
man counters. The general opinion
is that the Haig forces are now try
ing to cut through to southern Bel
.
gium.
Two coal mines and other exten
sive properties came under French
dominion again today by reason ot
the advance. The Germans had
operated these up to t < last min
ute.
VIENNA, June 5.—The War Staff
makes public the Italian losses to
day to show that the drive has been
much more serious in the persona*
injuries inflicted upon the enemy
than the Austrians.
The announcement is made that
in nineteen (lays past, during which
time General Cadorna pushed his
offensive, the Italians lost one hund
red and sixty thousand in killed
and wounded and the Austrians
took twenty thousand prisoners.
The Stall continues by stating
that these losses have shown the
Italian commanders the futility ot
their present attack and it has lost
its force.
