TWO zEPPELINs DESTROYED.
Crew Of One Killed, Others Captured
During Raid Over England.


London, Sept. 25.-Of the twelve bis
Zeppelins which invaded the British
Isles Saturday night to deal death ane
destruction from the skies two toda,
lay stark and black masses of stee

One came down a flaming torch. a!

by gunfire, effected a landing, which
saved the lives Of the crew Of twenty.
two, who are prisoners in England
The crew of the first raider died ir
the consuming flames of their ow1
ship, but they were not SO terribly
charred as their predecessors. "a
Thousands See Raider Fall.
This latest raider to light her own
funeral way on English soil collapsed
and was consumed much more quickly
than the L-21. 1t is possible, though
that some of the men were still living
when the great vessel struck the
ground. The captains body was found
some distance from the wreck.
The death and burning Of the first
Zeppelin was witnessed by tens OF
thousands of London residents, but the
wounding and descent Of the second
raider was matter of doubt until to-
days official statements were given
out.
Few details are available of this seca
ond raiders condition, but it is re-
iiabiy reported that the crew surren-
dered to special constables.
Many who saw the shrapnel burst
ing like skyrockets about the invader,
which subsequently caught fire, think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelins from all sides
80 Killed, 116 Wounded.
The raiders took a heavy toll of lives
before their destruction, twenty eight
persons being killed and ninety-nine
wounded in the metropolitan district of
London. Two persons were killed,
probably four, and several were wound~
ed, in the provinces.
The property damage, while widely
distributed, is confined for the most
part to small suburban dwellings and
shops. altho one railway station was
damaged, some empty cars being de-
stroyed and part of the tracks torn up.
The roar of the dropping bombs was
heard in many districts where the
raiders were invisible. 1t is not be-
lieved that more than two or three in
vading Zeppelins which crossed the
east coast succeeded in reaching the
environs of London. That two of these
paid the death penalty gives the great
est satisfaction to the military author
tiles.
Apart from the loss in material, the
casualties of the last two raids, it is
believed, will have depressing effect
on the morale of the Zeppelin crews in
the future.
