Times and Sydney Sun Services. (Received April 4, 7.80 p.m.)
London, April 3.
A neutral correspondent writes that the Germans are disappointed with the exploits of the Zeppelins. They say that London must be bombarded, and not small coast towns. A business man, who is making parts for Zeppelins, said that during the next six months 15 to 18 new Zeppelins of a greatly improved pattern would be built. The airships would carry two tons of explosives. It was likely that they would be used to attack London, which would be approached by many airships regardless of losses- The attempt had been delayed, pending special improvements which the war had shown was necessary. He did not think that the raid would be made before late summer. The airship and war material factories are working day and night more feverishly than ever.
