ENEMY SPEEDILY ENGAGED

(Received March 10, 5.5 p.m.)
London, March 9,
The raid is designated the "Aurora Borealis raid." Tie glow in the norths crn sky gave a light resembling summer, which was ample to enable the aviators to steer across the North Sea.
The raid lasted i.ntil three o'clock this morning. Bands of red end white illuminated the water, thougb only the northern glow was visible in London.
Though the raid was a great surprise to the public, a remarkable barrage and the speed with which the British- airmen went aloft showed that the authorities were not taken unawares.
