RELAPSE INTO BARBARISM.
COMMENT ON THE RAID.
(Received January 22. 2 a.m.)
London, January 21
The German aerial raid on Norfolk has caused an increased demand and higher prices for insurance against air damage. The naval correspondent of the Times considers that the raid was a trial trip, and that it was also intended to restore German confidence in Zeppelins after their inglorious showing at Cuxhaven.
In the course of a leading article the Times says: "After six months of empty threats German airships have visited England. They killed a boy, an old lady, a middle-aged shoemaker, and a widow, and injured a baby. When we strike home against Germany we will not soil our hands with these shameful crimes. We will fight honourably, with the assurance that victory will be ours, and that the earth will be purged of these relapses into barbarism."
Dutch correspondents report that the raiding Zeppelins on their return journey passed over ' Sneek and Hommarts, both in the province of Freisland. The Dutch Admiralty declares that they did not cross Dutch territory.
