Geneva, Feb. 1s.-(From a staff cor
respondent OF The Associated
Press) - The Zeppelin campaign
against London has been found UNI
profitable. The cessation of German
air attacks on the British metropolis
after the latest appearances of the
big dirigibles over the city last fall
has been due not to the fortuitous cir
cumstances, but to the deliberate de-
termination Of the German leaders to
abandon these attacks, as has been
done in the case of Paris.
The correspondent who was then in
Berlin. was informed from trust
worthy source a few days after the
final London raid of the decision to
send no more Zeppelins and sister
ships of the Schuettelanz type against
London. Air raids against England,
the correspondent was told, would not
be abandoned entirely. They were
considered to be of great service in
holding at home guns, airplanes and
men of the British aerial defense
which otherwise would be freed for
service in France but in the
future the attacks would be d.
rected against the provinces instead
of London. The next and final expe-
dition Of the year, on November 27,
was directed against the midland
counties in accordance with this

MURDER TRAGEDY.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 10. - Police
investigation into the killing yester-
day Afternoon by John E. Cruker of his
divorced wife and an attempt on his
own life, today brought the name of
Oscar d. Daniels, former prosecuting
attorney, into the case.
The only other person who could
tell what had happened in the bedroom
during the hour and a half preceding
the killing is the Crukers' 6-year- old
daughter, Margaret, but the child was
i'll and apparently did not comprehend
the tragedy that was enacted before
her eyes.
The father of Mrs. Cruker said to-
day that McDaniels, recently acquitted
of the murder OF his wife. had been an
occasional caller on his daughter. He
said she told the family that Nc
Daniels came to see her regarding
bringing suit for SANDER against a
newspaper.
Both the husband and the wife were
brought prominently into the Nc
Daniels trial. Crucker as one Of the
chief defense witnesses and Mrs,
Cruker as the subject Of much Of the
testimony.
Mrs. McDaniels and Mrs. Cruker
were characterized as intimate social
~ and frequently went on fishing trips
and TO card parties together.
One witness described fishing party
st which Mrs. Cruker was said to have
worn overaIls for bathing suit.
Details for Mrs. Cruker's secret
divorce obtained July ~, last, the day
Mrs McDaniels was killed were sought

two Zeppelins.
The predominant reason for tho de-
cision to discontinue attacks on Lon
don probably Ia the increasing
strength and efficiency OF the air de-
lenses Of the city. but the effect OF
the raids on neutral opinion in view
Of the then contemplated peace over
lures, may also heve been factor.
It may be interesting in this con-
nection to record bit Of unwritten
history Of the war. In the early days
Of the conflict when the air raids
were Just beginning, President Wilson
caused to be conveyed to Emperor
William and the French government
a. personal and unofficial message
which set forth that airship and air.
plane raids on populous cities were
looked upon with disfavor by the
American people and contributed
largely to stirring up anti-German
feeling in the United States. In view
of this the wisdom OF their discon-
tinuance was suggested.
TMs message did not fall entirely
on deaf ears but the views OF the mill
itary party prevailed and the air at
tacks. then the only German means
of bringing home the realities Of war
to the people within the British Isles,
continued.
