THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTEAND, JANUARY 24. 1915. 7 BOMBS DROPPED BY AIRMEN OF 2 ARMIES BELGIAN TOWNS BOMBARDED BY BRITISH AIRSHIPS. While Germans Raid-Dunkirk, British Pay Visit to Zee brugge and Ghent. GERMAN IS BROUGHT DOWN Briton Escapes Seven Attackers, and, Though Wounded, Inflicts Dam age on Submarine and. Guns. American Consulate Hit. I3NDOJ, Jan. 23. While German airmen on Friday morning were drop ping- bombs on Dunkirk, one of which damaged the American Consulate, two British aviators paid a visit to Ghent and Zeebrugge and succeeded, at Zee brugge, in damaging a submarine and killing or wounding the crews of the guns mounted on the mole to pre vent attack from the sea on that new German base. The British official report. Issued to night, says that apart from the break ing of the windows and the smashing of the furniture of the American Con sulate, "no particular damage was -done at Dunkirk. It makes no refer' ence whatever to a Paris report that six persons were killed and others wounded, and it is therefore not known whether this report covers completely the attack of the German airmen, who. according to unofficial dispatches, dropped as many as 80 bombs on the French port. Briton Escapes Seven Foes. One of the British aviators was Squadron Commander Davies, who re cently made a night flight over Bruges, dropping bombs on the railway station there. Prior to reaching Zee bruggee. Commander Davies was sur rounded by seven German airmen and, although slightly wounded, succeeded in making his flight along the coast and returning safely. "One of the 12 or 13 bombs dropped by German aviators on Dunkirk, Fri day, fell Just outside the American Consulate, broke all the windows and smashed the furniture," says an of ficial report issued by the press bureau tonight. "Outside of this no particular damage was done. "French and British naval and mili tary airmen engaged the German aero planes, one of which was brought down by a British military machine just over the Belgian frontier, and the pilot and observer captured." . Bombs Dropped on Submarine The report describes the dropping of bombs by British airmen at Zeebrugge. "During the day." it says, "visits were paid to Zeebrugge by Squadron Commander Davies and Flight Lieu tenant Pearse, and 27 bombs were dropped on two submarines and guns on the mole. It is believed that one submarine was damaged considerably and that many casualties were caused among the gun crews. "In reconnoitering before this. Com mander Davies was surrounded on one occasion by seven German aeroplanes. , but managed to elude them. He was slightly wounded on the way to Zee' bruggee, but continued his flight, ac complished his mission and is now pro- , creasing satisfactorily. a report issued at German army headquarters- at Berlin today said that airmen or the allies had dropped bombs on Ghent and Zeebrugge. but denied that any damage had been done at either point.

Amendment Adopted That Would Take Control of Proposed Lines Out of Hands of Exclusively Government Bureau. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Senate Dem ocrats tn caucus late today reached final agreement on the Administration ship purchase bill and adopted a reso lutlon making it a party measure. Three Democrats voted against the res olution, but the vote later was made unanimous. The caucus adopted no important amendments to the bill in addition to those agreed on at previous confer ences. Senator Kern, Senator Stone and oth ers who fought for an agreement on the measure declared they expected the bill to pass before March 4. Repub lican Senators insisted that their fight against it would be continued. The principal difference of opinion in caucus arose on- Senator Hoke Smith's proposal that with the restoration of normal conditions at the end of the European war, the Government lease the ships purchased to private corpora tions for operation instead of operating them through a Government-controlled corporation. This amendment was defeated. Senator Kern announced that two- thirds of the Democrats, however, were not present when this action was taken. As perfected In caucus, the bill pro vides for a shipping board to consist of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce and three civil ians to be appointed by the President, with the consent of the Senate. This amendment was a compromise with a proposal submitted ' by Senator Bank? head. In the original bill the shipping board to control affairs of the pro posed corporation would have consisted of the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce and the Postmaster-General, with no civilians. The only other amendments to the original bill of material nature was one to incorporate the proposed ship corporation under the laws of the Dis trict of Columbia and another to pro vide that'the original capital stock of $10,000,000 can be increased at any time only to the extent of $10,000,000 more.
