NEW TYPE ZEPPELlNS
DEADLY AS SIEGE GUNS
Germany Has DO Equipped with spe-
cial Magazine Car.
LONDON. Nov. b.

AFDNbON, ANONs -
The Standards Amsterdam correspond
ent says that fresh stories are in crcu-
lation about the feverish haste with which
the Germans are turning out zeppeins.
1t is said that the Germans now have
available 10 new-type zeppelins. The
chief improvements are that explosives
no longer are discharged from the navi-
eating cabin, but are fired from a spe-
eial car. suspended 500 yards below tho
airshlp.
Only one man occupies this magazine
car. so that, IL anything goes wrong, the
loss of life Is insignificant, and. on the
other hand, the chances of damage to the
airship by premature explosion or other
mishap are reduced.
II is stated that the new zeppelins are
fitted with kind of torpedo. 80 to 40 of
which are carried by each ship, whose
explosive power Is equivalent to q shell
of the famous 42-centimetre gun.
For defense purposes a number OF
are carried fore and aft, as
well as on special gun platform on the
roof OF the airshlp and a new lookout
also is rigged on top of the envelope,
with telephone to the commander.
