GERMAN AIROR AFTE

LONDON, Nov. 5. Three Garuna aeroplanes, one of which was a large battle-plane, deter minedly attacked the Cork Steamship Company's steamer" Arccat," bound, for Liverpool. The battle-plane dropped 36 bombs, missed, some narrowly, Then it took up a position of the port beam and opened fire with a machine. gua. striking various parts of the ship. Subsequently the airman at an altitude of 900 feet dropped more bombs. It was only the captain's clever zigagging that saved the ship. Meanwhile the smaller seroplanes crossed and re-crossed the ship constantly dropping bombs. All seemed most keen on sinking the ship.. and only failed because they lacked the nerve to fly lower. When they saw the ship was not hurt they started rifle fring, the shota splattering on the deck. None of the crew were injured. The lockout man rep red a floating mine right abend while bomba were bursting near by.

M. VENEZELOS' OPINION OF THE domitation.

XING

Amiens, Nov. 5.

The sitting of the Greek Chamber was marked with tumultuous scenes. 3. Venezelos took the strongest line in attacking the Government. Replying to the taunt-of Deputy, who accused him of doubting the patriotism of the Sing, M. Venezelos declared that he had not wished to drag the King's name into the discussion, but since the question had been raised he must say that in a Constitutional Government the Crown had no place in its respons ibilities. Only foolish political leaders could think of biding behind the Crowe, which is irresponsible. It is absurd to say that the King wishes the country's destruction, but in a Constitutional Kingdom the whole responsibility rests with the Cabinet. He admitted that the Crown had a right to disagree with a responsible Government, bat. after the recent elections such pón-agreement was ont of the question, and now the Crown had not the right to disagree.
