ZEAL IN ZEPPELINSANITY.

The Gorman papers have been trying hard to arouse their very credible and gullible roadors to a firm and fierce belief that the Kaiser's aviatore have driven the Londoners into a mad p,'uiic. A leading paper like the ColojfHe Gazette is misleading and mahVi&.us enough, in a, late issue., to assure £«errn#,ny. that tho people of London Lave boon &« spared by Zeppelin raids' that they lire feeing into the provinces at the late, of i#O.QO persons per week! As a- matter of fact, tho good folks of London, like those of Paris in the latter'a experience of last week, treat tbe Zej»s #3 something of a curiosity, and rask oufc into the streets to get a- look at them. Apropos of tbo last week's raid on Paris, the following message in London papers just to band, dated December 16, is of special interest today: "The news that a German airship bad succeeded, in crossing Mif> French lines at Joncbery reached t'ho Military Governor of Paris about 8.15 p.m. on Monday. Orders wero at once sent to the aviation centres, and in less than five minutes a J.ffge squadron was in tbe air, ready to at lack the nirship. But tbo latter gave them no opportunity of doing so. The

German commumlor, finding himself within range of tho searchlights and fired on from various directions, turned back after living a. distance of about 10 miles. At. tho sumo time, it was announced that London was Letter protected than over against tho Zeppelin because of tho equipment of her anti-aircraft batteries with mo c-hauicul rangH-undor.s, which would outiblo tho KUiiiiors to give, the eiiomy a warm reception on his uoxt visit.
