An official statement issued shortly

"12 15 p. M: Fourteen or Is airships par

Detailed reports of the casualties and
damage have not yet been received
The death and burning of the first
Zeppelin was witnessed by thousands of
Londoners, but the wounding and de-
scent of the second raider was matter
of doubt until today's official statements
were given out. Few details were avail
able of this second raiders condition, but
it is reliably reported that the crew sur
rendered to special constables
Many who saw the shrapnel burst like
skyrockets around the invader, which
subsequently caught fire, says it must
have been hit direct. Many aeroplanes
were aloft and attacked the zeppelins
from all sides.
The raiders took heavy toll of lives
before their destruction % persons being
killed and SO wounded in the metropoli-

were klled-probably four-and II were
wounded in the provinces

distributed, is confined for the most part
to small suburban dwellings and shops,

The roar of dropping bombs was heard
in many districts where the raiders were

than two or three invading Zeppelins,
which crossed the east coast, succeeded
in reaching the environs of London and
that two of these paid the death penalty
gives the greatest satisfaction to the
military authorities. Apart from the loss
of material, the casualties of the last
two raiders, it is believed, will have a
depressing effect on the morale of the
Germans.

down well outside of London. both last

the raiders was further evidenced by the
speed with which the searchlights picked
up the first raider that appeared above
the suburbs about midnight. Suddenly
searchlight beam shot into the star
lit sky. Three more dazzling shafts fol-
lowed, and within 10 seconds the whir-
ring airships were caught in the tolls and
the guns began sending up shriel1ing

For a minute or two the raider kept
it's course then wavered, turned partly
away and suddenly dissolved, apparent
ly, into thin air. Evidently the Zeppelin
was beclouded in the smoke and the
lights lost her completely. In the mean
time however, bombs were dropping and
red flames were visible as they hit the
earth. Then the city was quiet for an
hour the searchlights flashing only oc.
casionally in the hunt for raiders.
All London with sound of the guns and
bombs were out to see the spectacle and
almost despaired of further excitement,
when well to the eastward a tiny glow
appeared low in the sky. 1t looked first
like the moon rising red in its last quar-
ter from behind a cloud bank. From the
city it appeared to hang stationary for a
minute or more then glowing redder and
red6er, slowly turned to the perpendicu-
lar and streaked into the gloom of the
smoky night ground mist.
To the watchers in Essex, however, the
spectacle of the flaming falling Zeppelins
had all the thrill of excitement which
marked the end of LII, and they cheered
the gunners and their fortunate shots
that brought the raiders to earth.
