More Explosions Occur

London, May 4.

Several terrorist explosions took place in Great. Britain last night and early this morning.

Early in the day a bomb exploded in the High Holborn district, shattering several window-panes. Some minutes previously, a policeman found a bomb lying near by. A few hours later a second explosion took place in the Euston district, awakening the entire neighbourhood and breaking all the shop windows of a motor car sales agency.

A series of three explosions terrorized the population of Coventry. The first took place in front of a furniture store causing considerable damage, the second emptied a hall in which g meeting was taking place. The third bomb exploded before the door of a ce-operative store exactly when policemen came to pick it up. None of the policemen was injured—Havas.
