"man mobs today began rioting furi
ously. - !

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." 'the admiralty stated to-
day. '" ' , - .
"A number of fires were started, but
only three required ; .the presence of
engines. All were promptly dealt
-with." -
"No public building was hit, but a
number of private houses were dam
aged. 'As far as ascertained, one in
fant, one boy, one man and one woman
were killed and another: woman seri
ously .injured. - The precise ji umber of
victims has not, yet been, ascertained.
The situation was kept thoroughly In
hand." - ': i ."
This latter " statement Is believed to
mean that British airmen attacked the
Invading, Zeppelins. ' No official, an
nouncement his yet been made, how
ever, as to their activities.
. Sub-Lfeutenant Barnes, attached to
the aviation corps at Hendon,- "fell
with his biplane last night and was
killed, it was officially announced
today.
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. -

.Berlin, via The Hague. June 1. (U.
P.) "America jean hardly expect ua
to give up any I means at pur disposal
to fight our enemy.' It is a principle
with us - to defend ourselves in every
possible way."
This wss the statement to me today
of Herr Gottlieb von Jagow, the Ger
man foreign minister, as he discussed
the differences which have arisen be
tween his government and that' of the
United States because Of the sinking
of the Lusitanla and other attacks
upon merchant 'vessels.
. "I am f sure," the foreign minister
added... "that i Americans- -will be res
eonable enough to believe that our two
countries cannot discuss the Lusitanla
matter until bath have the same basic
facts."- :i
I asked the foreign minister if ln
formally, and without interfering or
prejudicing the' official discussion, he
might elaborate on Germany's position
regarding the Lusitanla. 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.
"It is far from Germany's intention
to interfere with neutral rights or be
come an autocrat of the f oceans.'"
"Could ; you explain in more detail
how Germany is fighting for freedom
of the seas?" I asked.
"I fear that America will not un
derstand," Von Jagow answered slow-
