THE ATTACK AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

(Australian-N.Z. C.A. and Renter.) (Received July 12, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, July 11. The Admiralty, reporting on the naval air service attacks on the TurcoGerman fleet lying off Constantinople, says the airmen located the Goeben surrounded by warships and submarines, and attacked her from a height of 800 feet, directly hitting the Goeben and other ships. Big explosions and several fires occurred aboard. The airmen directly hit the War Office. The enemy were apparently completely surprised, and no anti-aircraft guns were utilised till after the bombs had been dropped. The airmen returned safely.
