against the further use Of the Zeppe-

The Belgian protest was based on a
, cable received by Minister Havenith
this morning from the Belgian minis
ter of foreign affairs. The dispatch
read:
During the night of Aug. 24-25, a
dirigible balloon, Zeppelin, flew over
the city of Antwerp and has thrown
successively eight bombs of a great
exploding strength. According to an
investigation conducted by the judi
cial court there have been ten killed,
harmless civilians, among them being
four women; eight have been injured,
of whom several were mortally
wounded. One bomb exploded above
the palace where the queen and royal
children are living. The material
damages are enormous. The bonn
bardment constitutes a violation of
article 26, of the fourth convention of
The Hague"
