ZEPPELINS ACTIVE
OVER THE NORTH SEA
Two Have Been Destroyed--Are Used
in Watching Food-Laden Craft
Head Toward England.

LONDON, Feb. 10, 1922 p. m. -- So
far as is known, up to the present time
not a single submarine was sighted
during the first "a hours of the Ger
man blockade of the British Isles, but
there are increasing signs that Germany
is bending every effort to make good
her threat. These are found in the sud
den activity Of Zeppelin airships in the
North sea, involving the loss of two
such vessels. The Zeppelins apparently
are watching for food-laden craft moy-
ing toward England. The hating Of
the Dutch steamer, Helena, by Il Zcppe-
lin lowering over her masthead gives
"a new role to dirigible aircraft which,
so far during this war. have done little
on land or sea to Justify their mainten
ance.
