Paris, March '25. (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.
