Drop 100 Bombs.

London, Nov. 29.-Two Zeppelin air.
ships, that early Tuesday raided the
east coast of England, have been
brought down. The crews of both Ger
man aircraft persisted. Thousands of
persons watched the battle in the air
between England's aerial defenders
and the second German air dread
nought destroyed.
Both zeppeIins Burn.
Eight thousand feet aloft, above the
North sea, British hydroplanes sent
the first Zeppelin to destruction in
flames. A little earlier, anti-aircraft
guns, cooperating with an airplane, &C.
counted for the other German air raid
er off York and Durham counties-the
great air cruiser also sinking aflame,
into the water.
Graphic details of the British sue
cess in repelling the 9th aerial raid
made by the Germans since the first
OF the year we're announced by General
Lord French, commander Of the Brit

One woman was killed and 16 per.
SONS were injured in the Zeppelin raid.
The airships dropped 100 bombs.
The first Zeppelin, which apparently
entered over Durham, was pursued by
an airplane as it turned homeward.
Not until the Zeppelin was over the
sea, off the Durham coast, did the Brit
ish aviator succeed in reaching a vital
part. Then he brought the great dread
nought of the air down, a burst OF
fame.

UNITED STATES WARNS ALLIES
ASKS RECONSIDERATION OF RE.
FUsAL TO ISSUE SAFE CONDUCT.
Note9 Tell Of international Rioht to
Exchange Observation-Disclosures
Envoy at Rotterdam.

Washington, Dec. l. - The United
States has sent notes to Great Britain
and France, requesting reconsidera-
ton by those governments of their re-
fusal to issue safe conduct for Count
Tarnowski, the new Austro- Hungarian
ambassador to this country, and speak
ing Of the unfortunate effect that a
continued refusal would have on opin-
ion here
The notes point out that it is an
inalienable right of sovereign nations
| to exchange ambassadors and insist
that third nation, even in time of
war, is not justified in denying that
right.
Great care is taken to base the rep
reservations solely on the grounds of
international right as distinguished
from mere international courtesy, max
ing it clear that the United States is
neither asking favor nor assuming
the attitude of a pleader.
1t was planned at first, when the
rebuff was received, to drop the posi-
ton of mere messenger of Austria and
making formal demand in the name
of the United States.
1t was decided, however, that it was
unnecessary to take this action at this
stage OF the negotiations, when it is
hoped that firm statement of the
general principles of international law
in the case will cause a reconsiaera-
ton by the Allies. If the present note
meets with an unsatisfactory response
it is admitted that very difficult sit
uation will be developed,
Early replies to the American notes
are expected, owing to the fact that
Count TarnowsH is scheduled to sail
from Rotterdam December 16.
