 RAIDS MORE COSTLY
Kitchener Says Great Britain Is
 Developing Air Defense

London, Feb. 1S-Earl Kitchener announced in the house of lords yes- terday that3s during the past Zeppelin raid it wasF certain that the British accounted for one airship, which was lost at sea- and that there was good reason to believe that a. second air ship had been eput out Of action.
 Lord Kitchener added. %'Up to the present time a 'hostile air invasion of England has had no influence what ever on the military conduct of the war and regrettable as is the loss of citizen lifeS and damage to private property,sI do not believe the people deslre to give too great importance to these attacks or to allow them to aftect military operations.
 Must Accept Risks.
 Tt must be realized that in war it is not always possible to insure safety everywhere, and some risks must be accepted in order to be strong at im- portant points.
 Tt is beyond our power to guar antee these shores from a repetition of these air incursions but we shall make them more costly each time."
 Defense Three Fold.
 Outlining the system of air defense in Great Britain, Lord Kitchener said:
 "The defense is three-fold: First, good advance information regarding the movements of hostile aircraft; second, defense by anti-aircraft ar tillery; third, attacks on raiders by aeroplanes.
 ''As regards the first, we now have a system which gives us sufficient 1NV4 1N111 111 tc 0f4 4l1oo to artillery, the construct of air craft guns now has precedence over other ordnance, and now the guns, as fast as produced will be distributed to the best advantage throughout the country.
 Night Raids Difficult
 Attack by aeroplanes by night is attended with great difficulties, but believe that with more extended practice we shall overcome the diffi- culties. "The government will leave no stone unturned in efforts to improve l to the utmost our defenses against l Zeppelins," declared Lord Kitchener | The responsibility for defense will l be in the hands of Viscount French, ] with Sir Percy Scott as his chief ad- viser.'
 Senior Officer Has Power.
 Tn reply to a question regarding the use of aeroplanes at night, Lord Kitchener said no order had ever yet -been sent to pilot of the Royal l Flying Corps to make ascent at night | to attack a Zeppelin. He added:
 Notice is given to each station l when the time comes to ascend to | Intercept a Zeppelin. The dicision as l to whether to fly or not is left to the | senior officer on the spot If he de- 1 acides that the weather conditions are Favorable he is the first to ascend | Native Eggs, 33c dz.

The President takes the position. it
