Twelve of Newest zeps Swoop Around London Dropping Bombs in
 Night Time
TWO zEPPELINS LOST
FortresSes and Many FaC- tories Damaged and Dwellings Are
 Destroyed

LONDON, Sept. 25.-In one Of the greatest air raids ever made on the English coast by an enemy fleet German Zeppelins swooped over the southeastern section late Saturday night and kept up their internal work until early Sunday morning. Twelve Zeppelins, several of them of lPrg- CT and more recent type than have ever before been seen off the coast, participate in the raid. Two Zeppe- lins were wrecked. the crew Of one burning to death and the crew of the other being taken prisoners.
 According to the official announce ment the killed and wounded list is as follows:
 Those killed-17 men, women. 3 children.
 Those injured-45 men. s7 women, and IT children.
 The property damage while widely distributed was confined to the most part to small suburban dwellings and shops, although the railway station was demolished, some empty box cars were destroyed and part of the tracks torn up.
 The death dealing destructive ma chimes appeared suddenly over the suburbs of London and the roar of the bombs dropped suddenly became din.
 The raiders at first were invisi. ble so great was their altitude. but evidentally becoming more daring they ascended to lower levels and were suddenly picked up by the mamouth searchlJghts. The first zep- pelin was picked up by one search light shortly before midnight. This Zeppelin appeared above the suburbs and when caught in the light scores of anti.air craft high power guns were trained upon 1t. Three more daz- zling shafts of light caught the zep- pelin and the land guns boomed forth. Other air ships were quickly spotted and within fifteen seconds the first whirring airshIp was caught in the tolls of the guns which be- gan sending up shrieking shraDnel shells. For minute or so the zep- pelin kept its course, then wavered and turned. It escaped.
 Another was caught by the guns and like a flaming torch 1t fell blazing to the earth. witnessed by tens of thousands of people on the streets of London. The crew died in the consuming flames.
 A third Zeppelin was also caught by the guns and it came volplaning to the earth and the crew are now prisoners of England.
 Evidently seeing the untimely end of the two big machines, the other craft changed their courses. swooped to the higher levels and escaped the British air fleet.

ELECTION INDICATED BY
 HERALD'S POLL

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The New York Herald's first announcement of it's straw vote and canvass shows slight advantage for Charles D.. Hughes. but an advantage by no means sufficient to justify any pre- diction as to the outcome of the election at this time. The straw vote and canvass partly covers 22 States. and it shows Hughes in the lead in 15 of them and Wilson in seven.
 The States in which Hughes leads are: Maryland. Massachusetts. New Hampshire. Rhode Island, Yer mont. Maine. Illinois. Iowa, North Dakota. Ohio. Indiana. California. Nevada. New Mexico and Minneso- ta.
 The States in which Wilson leads are: New York, New Jersey, Wash ing;on. Oregon. Arizona, West Vir- ginia. and Kentucky.
 It is conceded that among the States in which Hughes is leading are half a dozen or so that the Dem ocrats never expected to carry, while there is but one State in the list in which Wilson leads that is counted with the solid South Kentucky. Should Wilson carry the States which the Herald's poll gives him. he would need 17 electoral votes from other States than the solid South" to win.
 It is conceded that the straw vote would indicate a close election.
 The Herald is supporting Mir. Hughes.
