ZEPPELIN RAIDS
DEMORAL|ZE ALL
ENGLISH TRADE.
(By Associated Press.

LONDON, June 19.-The problem OF
insurance against damage by air
craft raids has become serious one
for merchants in London and other
commercial towns near the east coast.
The insurance companies have been
beset with applications for insurance
against fires started by zeppeffns but
the companies doing fire insurance
business cannot take such risks. In
surfing against Zeppelins is a pure
gamble since there is nothing in the
way of experience or probabilities on
which any sound system can be based.
Consequently the British government
will be obliged to take charge of the
matter, as it did of insuring merchant
ships in the earlier days of the war.
Banks holding bills against goods
In London warehouses are demanding
policies for aircraft insurance or the
refund of amounts advanced. Sir
Albert Spicer brought up the question
in the house of commons in the first
meeting under the new cabinet, and
chamber of commerce has asked the
board of trade to take measures also.

Given Credit for Success.

The city and trade boosters declared
that the success of the outing was due
to the many hours of hard work on the
part of r. p Andrews, president of the
Retail Merchants Association, who
served as chairman Of the committee in
charge OF the arrangements for the
trip, and Charles J. Columbus. secre-
tary OF the association. The cordial re-
ceptions rendered the business men
upon their arrival at the various river
points make them believe that the
friendship of the residents of the river
counties of Maryland and Virginia for
the National Capital is increasing and
that increased business from those
counties may be expected.
The trade boosters boarded the
steamer Three Rivers at Baltimore
about O'Clock Saturday evening spe-
cial electric cars having been provided d
for their ride from the railroad station
to the wharf.
