CITY HEWS y Aeroplanes Used By Germans Is Verdict of High Officials of Great Britan. SEVEN KILLED IN VARIOUS TOWNS BOMBARDED Objective Point of the Germans Was the Kings Palace But Kuler Was Not There. (By United Press Association) London, Jan. 20. The growing con-? victiion that aeroplanes and not Zep pelins, raided the coast and interior of Norfolk last night aided in calm ing the people of London. Despite the statements of several persona that they distinctly saw Zeppelins, offi cials of the cities visited by the raid ers express doubts that dreaduaughts of the air participated in the attacks. The "elief that only aeroplanes parti cipant i is supported by statements of the Yarmouth police. The govern ment is silent. This is regarded as in dicating that an investigation is in progress and it is the belief that it will show the presence only of aero planes, thus relieving the minds of the people. In the absence of official confirma tion, the best reports indicate that seven were killed, with a possibility that two more perished. Five were killed in Yarmouth, and two at King's Lynn. The principal objective point of the raid was evidently Sandringham Pal-' ace, the king's residence at Norfolk. The king and queen, however, were in Buckingham palace at London. The raiders first appeared al Great Yar mouth. Cromer, Beeston, and Sheer ingham were visited in rapid succes- sion. At each plrxe bombs were drop ped. A number of bombs were then dropped at King's Lynn and Sand ringham, but the king's palace was un injured. At King's Lynn, the body of a woman and boy were recovered. No attempt was made to attack Lon don. It is definitely known that bombs were dropped at Yarmouth, Kings Lynn, Sheeringh.ini, Snetting- ham, Grimston, Beeston, Dcrsing ham, and Sandringham.
