Zeppelin fleet
May Attack
British Fleet Simultaneously
With Attack Of Germany’s
Sea Craft.
(By Karl Von Wiegand for the
United Press )
Liege, Sept. 11.—(By Courier
via Maastricht and Rotterdam
to New York.)—That Germany
is preparing an aerial attack or
invasion of England with her
fleet of,Zeppelins, is the general
impression among officers here,
so far as I coull get any of them
to express an opinion. That
same impression is in the public
mind in Berlin and elsewhere.
“Where are all the Zeppelins
and what are they doing?” I
asked a member of the Flying
Corps.
‘•Just wait and see,” he re- |
plied. “England gave us a little i
surprise off Heligoland. We will j
give her a little surprise before ■
long.” 1
There appear to be but few
Zeppelins with the armies in the
field. It is dangerous to ask I
questions or seek information!
but indications are, and I have
been told from various sources,
that the Zeppelins are being '
generally concentrated close to :
the North Sea. It is said that
the completion of several new
Zeppelins is being awaited.
J ust how many Zeppelins Ger
many has, no one outside 01 tne
government knows. Bel ore tne
war, tne otticiai record was less
than 16. mere are reasons tor
believing that Germany has
more- the Zeppelins and the
42 Centimeter mortar are the
two mysteries of the war so
far. You can take your choice j
from the stories that are'
afloat about these two wea
pons. Among these are, that!
the manufactured parts of a'
large number of Zeppelins had
been made at the Zeppelin i
Works in Friederichshafen and
stored ready to be put together;
when the emergency arose- The ;
Zeppelin Works are said to be {
working day and night. Both |
in Berlin and here I have been I
told that Germany has now a
fleet of 64 aerial cruisers. From 1
other sources I was told that as j
soon as a fleet of 30 Zeppelins :
could be sent across the Channel,!
the aerial attack on England will1
begin.
That the Germans will make
some daring coup with their ae
rial fleet and that in the near
future, there is some reason for
believing. It is quite possible1
that they are merely waiting for
a suitable base, Antwerp, Ostend
or Calais. The stories of the
number of Zeppelins Germany
now has, must be taken for
what they are worth. Aside
from the undoubted fact that
Zeppelins are being turned out
as fast, as nossihle. no one knnws
anything about the size of the
fleet except the government offi
cials and they won’t tell.
In some quarters the opinion
prevails that the English fleet
will be attacked by the Zeppelin
fleet or simultaneously by the
Zeppelins and the German fleet
In other words, the big battle
will be fought in the air, on the [
sea and under the sea, all at
the same time.
Although it is somewhat early
to draw conclusion, the Zeppe
lins have shown in Liege and
Antwerp, that as a Weapon of
offense they far surpass the ae
roplanes. This also has been
stated to me by members of the
Flying Corps, who have declar
ed that the scouting and recon
noitering of the German “Cav
alry of the Air,” has contribut
ed largely to the German suc
cesses, but that as offensive wea
pons the Zeppelins are far supe
rior.
The German aeroplanes carry
12 one and four pound bombs
hung in racks on the sides of the
machine. The dropping of these
bombs through the air sets a lit
tle propeller into motion which
screws in the contact point or'
“primer” so that the bomb will j
explode upon hitting any object.;
Until the “primer” or “contact”,
is crewed in ‘by the propeller,!
the bomb is “safe.” Thus a |
forced landing or smash-up of
the aeroplane would not explode.
the bombs carried- The Zeppe-j
lin artillery, as explained to me,
consists of bombs or shells from
24 to 36 inches in length and
about 10 inches in diameter.
They are filled with a high ex
plosive. Dropped on the thinly
protected deck of a battleship,
it is said they would go through
the ship. The American press,
bo far as I could judge from the
first papers received in many
weeks just before I left Berlin,
has practically destroyed the en
tire German fleet of Zeppelins.
It seems to have been a poor
day when not more than one
Zeppelin was shot down by the
French or Belgians. It is quite
possible that we are less inform
ed in Germany, but there is ev
ery reason for doubting this
wholesale destruction of the
Zeppelins. So far as I have
watched events, there is a possi
bility that two may have been
destroyed but there is no proof
of it and very little to base the
supposition on. The govern
ment flatly denies that it has
lost a single Zeppelin so far. It
also denies the report of the loss
of the Zeppelin which terrorized
Antwerp. Members of the Ger
man Flying Corps who have
been under fire many times in
this war and with whom I have
talked, say that there is little to
fear from rifle and machine gun
Ire when flying at an altitude
if not less than 4,000 feet- Ser
vant Werner, the first pilot who
’lew over Paris, said he had 25
latches on the wings of his mo
loplane—scars of the enemies’
nfilets. He declared it had been
lis experience and that of other
’lyers, that at an altitude of
1,000 feet a bullet has little or
io force or impact left. As he
lut it “you can almost catch
;hem in your hand.”
