German Air Scouting Party

Disastrous.
ALL OF CREW LOST
Gigantic Aircraft Envcl-
opcd in Flames Before
Striking Earth.

A MOTHER of Gcrmany's big Yep
~ peln airships has come to grief
and it is probable that some, If not all
of its crew perished. as it was envcl-
oped in flames as it fell to earth, a
victim of an incendiary shell fired
from a French anti-aircraft gun.
The Paris official communication
reports that the airship was south
ward bound from the region of Saint
Menehould, when the French guns
at Revigny began shelling it, At
least one of the missiles found its
mark and the huge aircraft took fire
and fell in the vicinity of Brabant-
Le-Roi.
The Germans near Lihons, to the
south of the Somme river, have met
with repulse at the hands of the
French in an intended attack extend
ing over about 4 l-3 miles.
Plenty of Artillery Action
The Germans in Artois were pre-
vented from occupying the crater of
a mine by a strong counter offensive
of the French. In Champagne the
forest of the Argonne and in the en-
tire region Of Nerdun there has been
much artillery activity in which Paris
claims that considerable execution
was accomplished by the French gun
ners.
Numerous fights in the air between
German and French aviators have
taken place.
Turks Still Fleeing
In Asia Minor the Russians are
persistently following the Turks. who
fled from ErZerum and also are push

SOUTH Is SHAKEN
BY AN EARTHQUAKE

ATLANTA, Feb. 81. An earth
tremor of slight but distinct nature
that made itself felt throughout
Georgia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Virginia and portions of east
Tennessee and Alabama was reported
early tonight as having been felt at
about 5:45 p. m, central time, today.
In no case was any damage reported
and while in some instances persons
hurriedly left buildings, there was
nothing in the nature of a panic.
The only seismograph known to be
affected by the tremor Is at Mobile.
Ala. where the instrument recorded
brief shocks. Most reports agreed
that the tremor passed from east to
west and was felt only momentarily.
In Augusta, Ga, and several other
places, however, three distinct shocks
were reported. At other points only
one tremor was felt.
