A very daring and successful raid has been made by

British airmen on the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichsbafen. Squadron- Commander E. F. Briggs, Flight-Commander J. T. Babington, and Flight-Lieutenant S. V. Sippe penetrated one hundred and twenty miles into Germany, over mountainous country and in bad weather, and dropped bombs on the factory, to which considerable damage was done. The fire directed against them was heavy, and Commander Briggs was brought down wounded, and is now a prisoner in Germany.
