LONDON, June 7.--A naval en-‘
gagement at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga resulted in the sinking of several German transports, and one large vessel not named, says the Petrograd correspondent of the Times. The Russians lost one auxiliary ship.
:It is surmised, the correspondent says, that the majority of the German ships hitherto concentrated at Kiel, came out into the Baltic, but battle squad- rons apparently were not engaged. It is believed in Petrograd the Germans will repeat the attempt to land troops on the Russian coast.

LONDON. Julie 7.-For the first
time on record a Zcppelin in air has been destroyed by an aviator in an (aeroplane. Reginald A. J. Warneford, a young sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy. who mastered aeropianing only this summer, has performed the feat, and to-night is somewhere within the British lines, while the Zeppelin lies in ruins, sprawled ou the roof and ground of an orphanage near Ghent. Falling there a blazing mass, after be- ing struck by the young aviator's bombs its crew of twenty-eight men were killed, also several occupants of the orphanage buildings. The theory is advanced this Zeppelin was the craft which raided the east coast of England last night for the fact that it was in the air over Belgium be- tween Ghent and Brussels at 3 o'clock in the morning leads to the belief that it was returning from the expedition not starting. Dawn breaks early these days and the huge Zeppelin could be sighted far off, and it is pre- sumed that the craft was headed for her home when Warneford came wing- Iing swiftly under the gray skies.

UNPARALLELED ACHIEVEMENT
OF YOUNG CANADIAN AVIATOR
iiihased and 0vertook the Zeppelin that Ralded England. Manoeuvred for
Position Tlhence He Dropped Bombs on Zeppelin Blowing it up and
Sending it a Roaring Torch to the Earth with its Grew ol 28 Men. The Canadian Escaped. ’
The Zeppelin which was flying com-
paratively low began to mount at once but the Britishor was specdler and climbed into the air in long spirals, reaching a position at length over the Germau’s vast hulk. From this posi- tion of vantage Wameford pierced the Zeppelin's shell repeatedly with his incendiary bombs.
Without a parallel in this war or
any other is the story which the young aviator will have to relate, for details of the iight have not yet been told. First came long pursuit, for according to the Admiralty report the aeroplane was six thousand feet in the air. To reach this height would require nearly twenty minutes and the Zeppelin meantime could drive forward approx- imately fifteen miles. Then followed the manoeuvring for position and iln- ally the dropping of bombs from which the diriglble tried vainly to es- cape. Minor explosions occurred and at last one of terrific force and the Zeppelin burst into flames. At that moment Wztrneford must have been at close range over the dirigible, for almost simultaneously with the uot- burst his machine turned completely over and for a moment he hung head down within his monoplane, all con- trol» of which had been lost pitching and tossing in swift currents of air which rushed up to illl the vacuum created. By s. desperate movement Warneford :ligated his machine far above the earth and planed for a land- ing behind the German lines. He alighted unhurt, set his propeller go- ing again and flew off to the West. Whether the Zeppelin’s machine guns

LONDON, June 7.-lf the Germans
have transferred troops from East to West as reported they have held suf- lcicnt men on the Eastern front to continue without relaxation thc of- fensive that has carried them and the Austrians almost across Galicia. The forces which pinched Przemysl into surrender are battering their way East and according to both Gorman and Austrian oilicial communication are at one point in the Southeast, hardly more than sixty miles from the Rus- sian frontier. The troops which sw_ept through Stry have continued further East until they are thirty miles be- yond thnt town and equally beyond Lsmberg, tho position of which ap- pears perilous. Further North they are eighteen miles to the East of Przemysi. So that, roughly speaking, the encircling movement on Lembcrg is duplicating that at Przemysl. The Germans also are on the offensive in the Baltic provinces. Their oiilcial statement records the crossing of the River Wiudou, to Southeast of Libau. A Petrograd despatch received in Lon- don to-night says telegrams from Riga report the Germans active to the North, Northeast and East of Libau. Military authorities expect heavy fighting at Mostzeck, where Rusisans will make a determined stand.
There is hard lighting and heavy
losses on both sides, notably to the north of Arras, where the French seem determined to nibble. Their forward move continues in the west, but the contests are hardly more than
trench warfare. contrasted with the
fighting in Galicia.
Repeated Zeppelin raids on Eng-
land have aroused British airmen to extraordinarily vigorous action. A raid on the Zeppelin shed near Brussels and the bringing down of a Zeppelin with its crew near Ghent were carried out at about the same time. The British oillcial account does not state whether the hangars attacked held a Zeppelin, but a mess- age reaching London asserts it did.
Italy, since she has thrown her
troops in the ileld and unleased her navy on the side of the Allies, has been taken into the financial circle of the nations warring against Ger- many. At a recent meeting of the British Chancellor of Exchequer and the Italian Minister of the Treasury an agreement was reached to pool the resources just as Britain. France and Russia had previously agreed.

or rifles were turned on the aviator is not disclosed, but in order to attain such an advantageous position, the British Lieutenant must have handled his machine skilfully for this is an extremely dlfiicult feat. Although the target the Zeppein presents is exten- sive it can be lifted by its own buoy- ancy to a. great height while the pur- suing aeroplane has to rise in spiralt by the power of its engine alone. As the iight: in mid-air occurred over that part of Belgium held by the Ger- mans, hopes are raised in London that the Germans will be forced to move their Zeppelin bases Eastward, thus making raids on England more hazard- ous. Some oi' the reports say that the non-combatant victims were two nuns ami two orphans and that others were injured, but a Reuter despatch receiv- ed to-night says that two nurses and two children were killed and many others injured. All versions agree that the Zeppelin crew perished and this seems certain as the great craft
was struck while more than miles in the air and must have been a roaring

which endeavoured to prevent men from going to the army by refusing to publish Kltcl\euer's appeal for more men violently attacking its conditions, and whether the Government are aware that these attacks came from the same source as did the recent at~ tacks on Kitchener.
Mr. Tennant. Parliamentary Under-
Secretary of War, replied: “The ac- tion of these journals has stimulated a _response to Kitchener's appeal. It is believed the men required will be available." Mr. Tennant's answer was greeted with cheers.
Mr. Kellaway asked assurance from
the Coalition Government that "this malignant press will not be able to continue its attacks on the leaders of the nations."
Mr. Tennant said he thought this
action was not necessary.
Home Secretary Simon woved the
second reading of the Bill to establish a ministry of munitions. He explain- ed that the new department would concern itself with the supply of mu- nitions but that the fighting depart- ments would dctermine the nature, extent and urgency of their needs.
The Home SE'-retary said the army
wanted as many shells as the organ- ized iudustry was capable of produc- ing and as quickly as possible.
Lord Robert Cecil, Unionist, recently appointed Parliamentary Under-See retary for Foreign Affairs, made his first appearance in the Commons as spokesman for the Foreign Office to- day. Replying to a question whether Britain had-sent China and Japan a note similar to the American note on the Chino~Ja.p treaty. Lord Robert said: "Both Japanese and Chinese Governments are aware of the views of His Majesty's Government on the subject."
The Munitions Bill evoked some
mild opposition. The House went in- to committee and agreed to a financial resolution authorizing a salary for the Minister of Munitions not exceeding $25,000 yearly. The House then ad- journcd. _ The Munitions Bill must be read again and go to the Lords but an agreement as to financial details as- sures its passage.
