destroying or Gripping al least sever
out of the eight Zeppelins with which
1t Is generally believed the Germans
made their raid over London, gave
powerful impetus today to demand i'm

fensive by England.
Many newspapers were unsparing In
their criticism of the governments
failure to start the reprisal proeraru
which was announced more than three
weeks ago. There were indications to.
day that this criticism would center
within the next few days in a powerful
drive for action through parliament
Some pointed questions will undoub.
edly be hurled at the government
leaders.
CANNOT UNDERSTAND SUCCESS
What the average Londoner cannot
understand is why the French should
be SO extraordinarily successful in
bringing down German aircraft while
the supposedly perfect defense system
failed. The incident served to create
the most intense irritation in many
quarters today because it developed a
belief that the government was not
bending every energy toward protec-
ton of the people at home. One crri-
cism heard today was that intense
rivalry between the r. n. A. S. Naval
aviation service) and the r. F. c.
Army aviation service), was injurious
and that the announced air ministry's
first task should be toward obtaining
cooperation rather than competition
between these two branches.
