tails OF the aeroplane raid on Fried
richshafen have been received from y
SWISS town near Constance. From
this account 1t appears that two
French and two English aviatprs, tho
former. mounted on monoplanes and
the latter on blplanes, arrived above
FrIedrichshafen at / o'clock SetuS-
day afternoon flying at great speed
Suddenly two Of the machines came
down to about 400 yards above the
city and amidst a hail Of nhelle and
bullets from six quick tirets worked
by the men OF the Bayarian regis
ments circled about tor half an hour.
during which time they threw about
ten bombs in the vicinity Of the Zep-
pelin sheds. One of these bombs
struck and destroyed part Of the
sheds. 1t is reported that one Of the
latest Zeppelins which was ready St0
be launched was badly damaged but
the Germans deny this. sairsi{ Z
The thousand OF workmen employed
about the place were at dinner when
the raid occurred or the loss OF life
would have been greater than 1t was
One house was destroyed and several
persons we're killed. The gun FIRE of
the German soldiers brought one Of
the aviators to earth with his ma
chine. He proved to be a British
naval officer. The three other mAs
chimes disappeared but one OF them,
supposed to be manned by the sotliey.
Englishmen, is reported to have fall
en- into lake and the aviator
drowned. Another report, says the
second machine was forced to land
in Wurttemberg. In any event only
two machines were seen later sstne
toward BeIfort which Is 4 rs miles I'M
a direct line from the zepbsiih eAtat-

The number of quick firers has been
much anxiety in Freidrichshafen.
The number of quick firiners has been
doubled and all foreigners have been
