British Hope to Find Secrets

LONDON. Sept. 25.-Oficers of
the royal flying corps have begun
an examination of the two Zeppelins
brought. down during the raid Of
Saturday night and Sunday morning,
with a view to discovering secrets
of their construction. The raid, in
which more than a dozen great air
ships took part, was the most ambi-
tious yet attempted against England
by the Germans and it was the first
time that an air feet had been con-
voyed by submarines.
The destruction of three Zeppelins,
TWO in the latest raid and one in a
previous air foray against London,
caused great jubilation and leads to
the belief that the metropolis soon
will be immune from sky attacks.
Considerable damage was done on
the eastern and southeastern coasts,
by the loss of two of the big, new
styled Zeppelins more than offset
the losses from a military stand
point.
The charred remains of the air
men killed in the destruction of the
Zeppelin near Mangold, Essex coun-
~. have ben collected for an inquest.
They probably will be buried with
military honors as was the case with
the Germans killed when the L-2l
was burned
The sailors on the other Zeppelin
brought down in Essex county are
expected TO be treated as honorable
prisoners Of war despite the intense
public feeling against them. There

Reports received up 10 early to-
day indicated that about 80 per-
sons were killed or wounded in the

of London. Fires were started. but

indications today as the Ameri-
can and Mexican commissioners
went into joint session here were
that the negotiations have reached
a deadlock.
Acting, il is believed. on instruc-
tons from Pres't Wilson. the Amer
lean commissioners have refused
fatty to consider any plan calling
for the immediate withdrawal Of
the American troops. This stand
has been taken because of the in
creasing activity Of Villistos in Chi
huahua and the failure of the Car
rama forces TO make strong
showing against them. The Mexican
commissioners, bound by Carranza's
instructions to take up the with
drawal of the troops first. refused
10 make any concessions.
IL was considered likely that an
adjournment will be taken either
today or tomorrow until the Mex
lean commissioners can get new
instructions from CarranZa.
The Mexican commissioners. as
they went into today's meeting, re-
fused TO discuss the signed state
ment Of Carranza. issued i'm Mexico
City, declaring that he had instruct
ed the commissioners to take up
only the withdrawal OF the Amer
lean troops. The American com
missioners also refused to discuss
the matter. but plainly intimated
that they were going TO ask the
Mexican members about Carranza's
statement II was indicated that
the negotiations would come to a
sudden ending if the Mexicans re-
fused TO discuss problems relating to
the border patrol for the future.
