19 JUNE 1915, Page 1
In this context we may mention that altogether the Zeppelin
raids have caused fifty-six deaths. Considering that they began on December 25th and that there have been fourteen of them, the loss of life must be admitted to be extremely small. Something like a thousand bombs must have been dropped, and yet, as we see, the carnage in a single railway or mine accident is often very much greater. No panic, or anything approaching to panic, has been caused by the raids. Every one in London is of course expecting a raid on a very big scale, a raid to which the former raids will be as water to wine. But we venture to say that in spite of that there is not a single Londoner who sleeps any the worse at night, or who in the least bothers his head about the matter from the point of view of personal fear.
