On Friday week the full figures were published of the

casualties from the Zeppelin raid of the previous Wednesday. In the London area thirty-two civilians were killed and ninety-five injured. Outside the London area the civilians killed were nine and the injured forty-seven. One soldier was killed in the London area, and elsewhere fourteen soldiers were killed and thirteen were wounded. The War Office statement says that a Zeppelin was seen to heel over and drop to a lower altitude. Five aeroplanes of the Royal Flying Corps went up, but owing to the atmospheric condi- tions only one was able to find an airship, and the airship escaped in the fog before it could be overhauled.
