IDEAL NIGHT FOR A RAID
zeppelins Drop Bombs from
Such Height That They
Are Out of Gun Range.

Wv AssocArkp pNGesf
LONDON, April 1-Twenty-eight
persons were killed and forty-four
injured in last nights air raid, ac-
cording to official figures given ont
today.
The raid was the twenty-second OF
the war. The lost Zeppelin was the
third Of Its class to come to grief in
these raids.
Details Of the attack have not
been published as yet by the authori-
ties. From unofficial sources it is
learned that many of the bombs were
dropped either into the sea or in
places where no damage was done.
1t was an ideal night for the raid.
Everything was in favor of the Yep
pelins, including the atmospheric
pressure and the lightness of the
wind. The dirigibles came in over
the coast early in the evening and d.
vided their forces. Those who saw
them say they were larger. than the
dirigibles used on previous visits
They kept at such height that they
were out Of range of the anti-aircraft
guns.
During the evening zeppelins were
reported at various points. It was not
until after midnight that, the an
nouncement was made Of their de-
parture. Until the official report was
issued this morning 1t was not known
that one Zeppelin had come down.
It was officially announced this af-
ternoon that the Zeppelin which fell
into the sea was the LIS.
