DESTROY ZEPPELIN
. MILE ABOVE EARTH
BRITISH AvtATORS DROP BOMBS
FROM HEIGHT OF 5000 FEET
-OFFiClAL REPORT.
THREE GERMAN SHIPS SUNK
Petrograd Statement Asserts Teuton
Vessels Sunk or Damaged and
Russian Transport Torpedoed
Off Gulf of Riga.

London, June S.-British aviators
attacked and destroyed German
Zeppelin in Belgium between Client
and Bruges.
British airmen dropped six bombs
on the Zeppelin from a height OF
5000 feet" said the official announce
ment. "The Zeppelin exploded and
fell"
The destruction of the Zeppelin fol
lowed one of the most thrilling air
battles the world has ever known.
The British airmen shot upward to a
height of 5000 feet and hurled six
bombs at the great dirigible, which
zigzagged in fight to escape attack.
Explosion Rends Airship.
Scarcely a second after the last
bomb went shooting uown, terrific
explosion rent the airship. 1t
crumpled in the center and darted
toward earth. The force Of the ex-
plosion caused the British biplane to
turn completely over.
For nearly a minute the aviator
struggled desperately while his ma
chine slid rapidly toward the earth.
BY an almost superhuman effort he
regained control of his levers and
righted the biplane less than 200 feet
from the ground.
The rapidity of the descent, how
ever, carried the biplane to earth with
rough jar. The landing place was
behind the German lines. The me-
chanician sprang out, "cranked" the
propellors and the biplane was off be-
fore the astonished Germans in a
neighboring field could get the range
with their guns.
Aviators Return Safely.
The aviators who bombarded the
Zeppelin shed north of Brussels re-
turned safely, the admiralty an
nounced.
A German Zeppelin raided the east
coast of England, dropping incendiary
and explosive bombs. Five persons
were killed and forty injured, the ad
miralty announced. Two fires were
