AIR RAID FIASCO;
ZEPPELIN is BURNED
Another Damaged, Third Is
Driven Off.

LONDON, Aug 6.-The attempted raid
by five German Zeppelns on the east
Anglian coast last night was a complete
fasco according to reports thus far re-
ceived.
British fliers were ready for the Wis
itors and met them well out at sea,
bringing down one in flames. damaging
second and driving a third away.
What happened to the other two airships
III the squadron Is not disclosed in the
off1cial statement. The fact. however,
that the report said, "Zeppelins crossed
the coast is ground for the presumption
that these did reach land.
There Is no evidence as yet that they
dropped any bombs. and 1t is probable
that their crews were kept busy protect
ing their ships against pursuing British
airmen.
The novel feature OF the raid was the
early arrival of the airshps. Two OF
. them actually were seen approaching the
coast by holiday makers from the prom
enade of widely known seaside resort.
1T is considered possible that the Ger
mans miscalculated their visibility and
by arriving before dark invited an easy
defeat.
Airplanes Immediately went into pur-
suit. and the Zeppelins, throwing out
smoke clouds, turned northward and en-
deavored to escape. They were over
taken about forty miles from the shore,
and just before midnight one was
brought down In flames and another
damaged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6s-A new cpl
demic of suffrage picketins about the
White House was spectacularly checked
by the Washington police to-day through
the arrest OF forty-eight suffragists, who
were loaded into waiting patrols one by

pedestal of the statue Of Lafayette in
Lafayette Park, opposite the White
House.
A score or more OF policemen. swelter-
Ing at the task of hauling down the
speakers as each mounted to the statue
base, were roundly cheered by a great
throng which packed Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
The crowd was good natured. So were
tho cops. The suffragists. who dared
their fate by announcing their plans to
the newspapers in advance, were good
tempered. though insistent In spite OF
the broiling sun and intense humidity
good time was had by ALL particularly
by the great crowd OF Government work
trs on their way home.
The representatives OF the National
Womans party who figured in the
picketing last fall marched from the
Kosciusko statue to the northwest corner
OF the square, past the White House and
to the Lafayette statue. They were led
by Miss Hazel Hunkins of picket fame.
Arrived at the statue Mrs. Dora Lewis
OF Philadelphia mounted the base and
began: II wish to tell you why We have
come here to-day" A big policeman
took firm but gentle hold Of her and she
was walked to the waiting patrol.
"Congregating in the park" was the
charge and each of the pickets was re-
leased on collateral TO appear In court
tomorrow.

NEW GERMAN PROPAGANDA.
Fake Red Cross Workers Tell
Relatives Soldiers Are Killed.

A new form of German propaganda
was unearthed by the Red Cross yester-
day when II learned that pro-German
agents, representing themselves as Red
Cross workers, had been visiting the
relatives Of American fighting men in
France and informing them Officially"
that the soldiers had either been killed
or severely wounded in action.
At least FIVE instances Of such
false reports either of the death or
wounding OF soldiers have been reported
to the Red Cross from Queens.
THE Red Cross wishes to emphasize
the fact" said an official statement given
out by the organization last night. that
no information OF this kind is given out
by the Red Cross. The War Depart
ment reserves the right TO announce
casualties. and this information s issued
before 1t is sent either to the Red Cross
or the daily newspapers"
In none OF the cases wherein the men
representing themselves as Red Cross
agents notified relatives OF the soldiers
was the name Of the soldier on the Of
fetal casualty lists.
