line that forced his Zeppelin to des-
cend. The rad is widely proclaimed
by French observers as being definite
proof Of the superiority of the airplane
over the Zeppelin. The day Of the
Zeppelin for bombardment, one expert
says, is over. The sudden resumption
Of the use Of the German dirigibles is
explained by the theory hat the raid
ing Zeppelins belonged TO a new type
which lately had been reported to be
in the course Of construction at Lake
Constance. No reports have yet been
received that any damage was done
by the Zeppelins or that bombs We're
dropped anywhere in France.
Two Forced to Descend
Of tie four Zeppelins last two were
destroyed and two were forced TO des-
cend. The tWo disabled airships. un-
