zEPPELINS ACT
AS SCOUTS FOR
GERMAN FLEET

London, March 9-The morning
newspapers publish from their cor
respondents in Holland such details
as are available there regarding the
recent activity of the German fleet in
the North Sea- According to these
accounts the feet included about so
craft of all descriptions, from the
most modern dreadnaughts down to
old fashioned torpedo boats. The
fleet was escorted by two Zepp elins,
which served as scouts to prevent a.
surprise attack by hostile vessels. One
traw1er sighted this fleet 165 miles
due west of the mouth of the EIbe.
Another saw it 35 miles northwest
of Ymuiden. All the German ships
were painted a war gray and were in
visible beyond a short distance. Heavy
clouds of smoke frequently hid them
completely.
One Dutch trawler is quoted as hav-
ing made the following report:
During the recent air raid on Eng
land a, Zeppelin was seen scouting in
advance Of three cruisers and a fleet
of destroyers and submarines which
were believed to have had the inten-
ton of making a dash for English
waters. The Zeppelin, however, made

earn his living carrying water to rail-

membered 10 years from now for any
other achievement than spending I'M

greatness society pretends to set up
standards.
Saint Cyr, whatever else he may be,
if he be an American, is worthy of any
company to which his wife's money
can gain him entrance. If he is to be
censured for anything it is not for hav

abandoned such staunch old name as
