ZEPPEllNS LOST IN RAID
Diriglbles Meet Disaster In France On
Return From England.

Paris. Oct. 22.-While the opinion
prevailed that the visit OF the Yep
pelin fleet TO france was an independ-
ent raid and the first step toward
carrying out the threat made in a
German wireless message which said
1t a been decided to destroy Paris
In reprisal for French air raids on
German towns, ii now is generally
believed that these eight Zeppelins,
-four of which were destroyed or cap
tured. were returning from England
and had lost their bearings owing TO
fog and probably had lost touch with
their wireless communications.
The logbook of the Zeppelin which
landed intact shows that she had
been TO England. and prisoners from
three other airships confirmed this.
One of the men captured said it was
the lack of gasoline that forced his
Zeppelin to descend. The raid is
widely proclaimed by French observ-
ers as being definite proof of the
superiority of the airplane over the
Zeppelin. The day of the Zeppelin
for bombardment. n expert says, is
over.
