(U.: P.) Equipped with a new horribly destructive device, a great fleet' of Zeppelins will -accom pany the German navy when It dashes out to meet the British, according to stories told by Swiss boatmen on Lake Constance. - They obtained their information, they said, from residents of Frledricks hafen, where the great Zeppelin works are located. They have watched Ger man Sky cruisers experiment with the new death missile. Suspended from the gondola of the Zeppelin is a wire' more than two miles long. At the end of the wire dangles a cluster of bombs, filled with , high explosives. Scouting ahead of the fleet at -a great height, the Zeppelin, boatmen say. will drop its explosive bait to the water and drag it at a high rate of speed. When the bomb cluster strikes the aide of an enemy warship, the Zep pelin commander, two miles above the water, will touch an electric button, setting off the charge. . The bomb dragging feat, it is said, has been' practiced several times in the past fortnight by a new Zeppelin that apparently maintained ' a speed of 100 miles an1 hour.
