Official communication regarding the raid is as follows: "Between 1.1? and ll o'clock this morning four Zeppelins started to ward Paris from the direction of Compeigne, following the valley of the Oise. Two were compelled to return before reaching Paris, one at Bouen ( 10 miles north of Paris), tho I Other at Nantes (on tho Seine, '.id miles from Paris). The other two were attacked by anti-aircraft guns and only passed over outlying dis tricts of ?the northwestern part of P.uis and neighboring suburbs. They withdrew after having dropped a dozen bombs, some of which did not explode. The damage done was un important. Seven or eight persons were Injured, but only one seriously. "The different stations for anti aircraft, defense opened tire upon the Zeppelins, which were constantly kept, illumined by searchlights. One .appeared to have been hit. The aero plane squadron took part in the ac tion, but mist hampered pursuit. "Summing up, the Zeppelin raid on Paris was a complete failure. It served only to demonstrate how well tho defensive arrangements work. The population was calm. On their way hack the Zeppelins drooped a dozen Incendiary or explosive bombs on Compeigne, doi-ng only unimport ant damage. Three bombs were dropped on Ribecourt and Dreslin court, to the north of Compeigne, withoii't result." As Germans View lt. Berlin, March 21.-An official war office statement to-day says: "To render more impressive our reply to the misdeeds of two French aviators in the open Alsatian town of Sch le tts tad, some heavy bombs were dropped by Herman airships last night on the fortress of Paris and the railroad Junction of Com peigne. "Southeast of Ypres a British aeroplane was shot down and the aviators taken prisoners. "Two Preach attempts failed to dislodge the Hermans from a post-| lion taken on Mandi 1 fi on the south ern slope of the Dorette Hill. "We discovered a French observa tion post on tho Soissons cathedral protected by a Red Cross flag. We (ired upon Hie post and destroyed lt. "North of Beausejour, in the Champagne tho Hermans success fully advanced. Sappers destroyed several French trenches, taking pris oners there one officer and 20!) un wounded French. A position on the height of Reich \ekerkopf, gallantly defended by two battalions of Alpine Chasseurs, was stormed yesterday.

Przemysl Has Fallen. London, March 22.-The Oaliclan fortress of Przemyel, which the Aus trians had so staunchly defended since the early days of the war, fell into the hands of the Russian besieg ers this morning The last of the improvised field fortifications were captured some days ago and the final act of the drama began toward the eloso of last /ar Day by Day week, when itho commandant delib erately expended his reserve ammu nition and sent the bulk of the gar rison out in the forlorn hope of cut ting its way through tho besiegers. With 'the strong Russian lino tightly drawn around the fortress, the effort apparently was hopeless from the start and G.OOO Austrian prisoners fell Imo the 'hands of the Russians, while as many moro fell dead or wounded. The shattered remnants ol' the force fled back to the fortress, and they have fallen into tho hands of tho Russians. The garrison of Przemye] origi vally numbered G0,0On or 80,000 men, hut sorties and shells must have cut a considerable number of thousands from that total. The besieging army is understood to number about 120,000 officers and mon. This force will now march on the strong Austrian fortress of Cra cow, 125 miles to the west of Prze mysl, it hoing thc announced deter mination of the Russian commander in-chief to reduce the ancient Polish capital as speedily as possible. Tho fate of the fortress had been Inevitable since the failure of the last Austrian drive from the south ward for Its relief. Thor" have been daily evidences of a shortage of pro visions, and reports of tho ravages ol' disease reached tho besiegers from time to time. Gradually the linos about tho city were drawn tighter, until within the last fort night Russian riflemen were within | range of the outer works. Russian I artillery pounded tho forts cease lessly. A lt hon'iii Przemysl had boon elim- , dialed as a positive menace to the Russian troops operating in ("alicia i since it was isolated, it always had I been a potential source ol' danger, j Many stubborn battles have been fought by thc besiegers with portions ol' Hie garrison which attempted to break through ?the investing lines to join relief columns which, on some occasions, pushed to within 25 milos ol' the city. I lt is believed hore that the next important development in Galicia will he a new Russian advance to ward Cracow, Hie Austrians having been virtually driven out ol' tho ter- ( rltory as far southward as the Carpa thians. In Condition of Som I-Kn m ino. Lemberg, (?alicia. March 2 2. Aust l ian prisoners from Przemysl, captured shortly before the garrison surrendered, say thc fortress for a long time was lu a condition of semi fa in i ne, lacking bread and other foods. ?, Except for the horses of the Aus trian officers no animal, they say, was visible in thc town, all having been killed to food the soldiers, who ro-ontly had little to oat except con I eerves, which led to much typhoid and other sickness. Conditions wen; such, the prisoners add. that they al most led to a mutiny of tho troops, who urged that tho city bo surren dered. Still "Torplng" Routs.

London, March 28.-Tho latest Russian invasion of Germany is said at Herlin to have met with tho same I fate as Ms predecessors. To-day's official (dorman communication con tains the announcement that tho Russian forces which captured Me lool, Bast Prussia, have boon driven I back, and that German troops, pur i suing them across the border, have captured the Russian town ol' Krot t Ingen. Tho Russians st Pl are on Hie of fensive in Northern Poland, but their I attacks apparently have boon attend ed by no important results. The German war olllco say.', ithe Russians have been driven back in every in stance. Apart from a few ? mall move ments, such as have hoe i in progress for several months, tho initiative In Prance and Belgium yesterday was left to the airmen.
