WARP ARE HIGH
 IN THE HEAVENS
German Aircraft Returning From Raids on English Coast Attacked French Pliers InterceptiAir
 and Sea Craft.

Paris, April 26.-French aero planes at 3 o'clock this morning at- tackled Zeppelin of Zeebrugge at height of l3.000 feet. throwing nine bombs at the dirgible which was he- lieved to be returning from last nights raid on England. The Zep- pelin moved away but apparently was damaged. Other aeroplanes are reported by officials to have been dispatched. At the same time French aeroplanes attacked a Ger man torpedo boat off 0stend, firing one bomb. The torpedo boat was struck, but the extent of the damage is not known. The war office an- nounced that a French aviator brought down one of the late mod el planes at Nancy, capturing it, and that the German pilot was made a prisoner.
 The attack upon the Zeppelin re- suited in a thrilling battle more than two miles above the surface of the water off the Belgian coast in the darkness. Only brief dispatches had reached Paris today. It ap- pared, however, that French squadron, following the new policy of meeting the Zeppelin raiders. dashed toward Zeebrugge when the word of last nights raid on England was telegraphed to the war depart ment for the purpose of intercept ing the returning Germans.
