WILSON CALLED
KAISER ON CITY
RA|O|NG Of zEP5

GENEVA, Feb. 16.-(By Associated
Press Staff Correspondent.)- THE in
creasing strength and efficiency of the
city's aerial defenses, combined with
the effect of raids on neutral opinion,
caused a cessation of Zeppelin attacks
on London, the Associated Press cor
respondent who was then in Berlin,
was reliably informed when this de-
c;sion was reached after the Geramnn
raid on London during last fall. This
had long been done in the case of
Paris, the same reasons being assigned
by German authorities.
Some unwritten history also come to
light following the decision as to Lon
don raids, when it was learned that
during the early days of the conflict,
President Wilson sent a personal and
unofficial message to Emperor William
declaring that air raids on populous
cities were looked upon with dis-fayor
throughout the United States. Upon
delivery of this message the raids
ceased for a time, but were renewed
when Chancellor Won Bethmann-H Holl-
veg accused the military authorities
to yielding too much before neutral
opinion.
Although it has been decided to
abandon further London raids, it is
known that raids on English provinces
and coast towns. are to be continued
by the Germans.
