LONDON. June 1S.-For the Sec

raided by Zeppelins Sunday morning,
two machines winging their way over
the channel in the early hours and
dropping a number of bombs on the
sleeping city. Two persons were
killed and sixteen injured in last

great, many buildings being reduced
to ruins by the air raiders. During
the height of the battle, one Zeppelin
was struck by shell from an anti-air
craft gun, and badly damaged AS
the stricken dirigible was endeavor-

shell squarely into her huge gas bag.
The Zeppelin plunged swiftly to the
ground, mass of flames, her crew
working her guns to the last.
