ZEPPELIN ATTACK
ON BRITISH ISLES
Two Giant Alrshlps Lie Wreck
ed in an English
Village
MANY HOUSES ARE WRECKED

London.-Of the twelve Zeppelins
which invaded the British Isles two
lay blackened masses OF steel and
aluminium in the little village of Man
gold, Essex county, victims OF the anti
aircraft defenses OF London and out
lying districts.
The airships were of a new and
larger type than heretofore known.
One came down a flaming torch, as
did the Zeppelin L-21, destroyed in the
raid three weeks ago. while the sec
ond, disabled by gunfire, effected a
landing, which saved the lives OF the
crew of twenty-five men, who are pris-
oners in England.
The crew Of the first raider died in
the flames Of their own ship which
was consumed much more quickly
than was the LII. 1t is possible
though that some of the men were
still living when the great vessel struck
the ground The captains body was
found some ditance frosm the wreck
The burning of the first Zeppelin
was seen by tens OF thousands of Lon
don's residents, but the Gripping and
descent Of the second raider was a
matter of doubt until official state
ments were given out. Few details
are available OF this second airship's
condition but il is reliably reported
that the crew surrendered to special
constables
Many who saw the shrapnel bursting
like skyrockets about the invader,
which subsequently caught fire. think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked he Zeppelins from all sides.
The raiders took a heavy toll Of
lives before destruction, 30 persons
being killed and 10 wounded.
Outside Of the London district two
persons were killed and eleven inju-
ed IN an East Midland town.
The casualties in the metropolitan
area, in the southern and southeastern
sections of London, according to an
official compilation are as follows:
Kiled-Men IT, women 8, children
3; total %.
Injured-Men 45, women 81, chill.

GERMAN FORCES
FAIL IN BIG DRIVE
Bavarian Crown Princes Army
Makes Desperate Attempt
to Penetrate Iron Ring
FIGHTING LASTS ALL DAY

London. - The Bavarian Crown
Princes army north of the Somme
made a desperate attempt to drive
back the French from the Peronne-
Combles highway and thus break the
iron ring that has been steadily clos
ing in on these two important bases.
The French War Office in its COM
munique reports that the attempt fail
ed completely, the French holding
their positions everywhere intact
The British suddenly shifted the
fighting to the northern end of their
line, capturing 200 yards OF German
trenches. On the Somme, Sir Doug
lass Haig's troops beat of all Teuton
counter attacks.
The Germans again attacked French
positions in the Champagne, east Of
Soutain Hi, but were repulsed. Sim
liar action in the Vosges, northwest
OF Altkirch also broke down under
the French curtain of fire.
At Verdun the Crown Princes infan-
try wrested from the French a small
portion of a trench on the western
slope Of Dead Man Hill, west of the
Mouse.
The outstanding event OF the fight.
ing was the German effort north Of
the Somme. The battle centered
around Bouchavesnes, about halfway
between Combles and Peronne. From
9 o'clock in the morning until nightfall
Teuton infantry was hurled against
Gen. Foch's lines IN a series Of fierce
counter attacks IN massed formation.
They were met by hail Of bullets and
shells from the French machine guns
and artillery. That the Bavarian
throne heir meant to make a supreme
effort to re-establish the communica-
tons between the two vital bases was
indicated by the terrific drumAre
which preceded each infantry attack
made by the large contingents thrown
into battle.
