London, June 1 (U. P.) Ninety bombs, most of them of the incendiary type, were dropped upon London In a Zeppelin raid early i today. Four per- sons were, killed and one seriously in jured., Others received ' less , serious . wound. The -admiralty off iclally an nounced - tonight the raids after with- . holding information TearliWUnthe jST.' Three large fires were, caused by the exploding bombs . from the German airship. No fortification or public buildings ; were damaged, ' It. :iwa stated. 1 ' , . , "Hostile aircraft dropped 90 bombs upon various localities of the tnetro- . politan area of London, not far from each, other."

Although no "details are 'given of the - death of Barnes, It . is thought possible that his : aeroplane may have been ;ngaged In an attack on the Zeppelins 'that raided London, and ,that he-was killed in an air battle. ' Hendon is six miles from the cen ter of 'London, and it was from this aviation station that the admiralty planned to meet the. expected German aerial -attack. - Case-Against Larry Sullivan Dismissed Bnt KraTakti la Z.ovtry Balds "Win -.

But when ever questions, pertaining to possible compromises were brougnt up he asked that he not be pressed to answer any thing aa to possible negotiations. , .."Germany Is fighting for freedom of the seas," said the kaiser's foreign minister, as he resumed a general ex planation of Germany's ' position, in which he charged England with re sponsibility for violations of interna tional law which have marked the war.
