LONDON, April "a great wave
of indignation swept England today
following the third Zeppelin raid
with heavy loss of life among non
combatants in seyenty-two hours.
Demands for extreme punishment
for the crew of the Zeppelin L15
captured off the mouth of the Thames
early Saturday were heard on every
side. The newspapers exercised the
greatest restraint in discussing the
possible fate of the prisoners. In the
clubs, the hotels and on the streets
they were denounced as baby kill
ers" and it was urged that the gov
ernment should make an example OF
them.
Reports that the Zeppelin Officers
are being served from the British OF
f,cers' mess table with servant as
signed to each, particularly aroused
the publics anger. It seems certain
that the government will be inter
rogated on this point in parliament.

Following this pass they narrowly
escaped death when faced by a blind

quarter of an hour flight. The two
fliers finally lost their way in the

near Mexican house. The native
rarcher gave them food, lodging and

YOUNG MEN TOGETHER IN
THE long AGO.

Dear Old Friend: I have often
wanted to write you some encourag-
ing letters, to let you know that at
least one old friend was still stand
ing true to you, but my nerves are
SO badly shattered that I can scarcely
write at all. But when l read your
comment on broken faith in the
Jeffersonian, l could forbear no
longer.
When the report of your broken
faith with Dorsey came out in the
Sunday papers | remarked then that
I didn't believe a word of it, and if
it was true l knew you had good rea-
sons for it. I have followed you
closely through all your political ca
reer, and have failed to find a single
act Of yours, but that [ believed you
to be perfectly honest and sincere.
I have also read what your enemies
had to say about you, and always
found that they failed to make good
their charges.
Now Tom, you may not hear from
me again for some time, but rest as
sUred that unlbess they can get up
something better against you than
they have succeeded so farb in doing,
my confidence in you will be un-
shaken.
From your lifelong friend,
