A fleet of Zeppelins numbering, accord
ing to various reports, from twelve to fif-
teen, raided the east coast Of England on
the night of September 23rd. Two Of
them fell victims of the anti-aircraft de-
lenses of London and outlying districts.
These masses of steel and aluminium fell
in the little village of Mangold, Ezzex
County. One, after being struck, came
down flaming torch, as did the Zeppelin
LII, destroyed about four weeks ago, the
descent being witnessed by tens Of thou
sands Of London residents. The crew
persisted in the flames Of their own ship
The second, disabled by gun fire, effected
landing which saved the lives of the
crew Of twenty two who were immediate
ly made prisoners of war.
The casualties of the metropolitan area,
according to an official compilation, are as
follows: Killed, men II, women s, children
3-total %. Injured, men As, women 81,
children 17-total &c.

fc laws that have been enacted. In New
York and other states, even more drastic
legislation is being urged. In cities from
which reports are available, figures up to
September LIST show that a total Of 1,040
persons have been killed, and more than
5000 injured since January 1st It must
be borne i'll mind, however, that this list
is very incomplete, and probably does not
cover more than half the actual number
of casualties.
In Zeppelin raids ON England up to
September 25th, about three hundred
sixty-eight people had been killed. and
eight hundred seventy wounded in more
than two years of the war.

Much more criticism comes Out
on envy and jealousy, than out OF

while as a matter of fact most of
it comes out of envy and jeal-

The people should take a self
analysis of their own conscience
and try to discover and actually
& >cover the Wy and Jealousy
that lies within their hearts, and
if this was done there would De
