MORE BOMBS DROPPED ON ENGLISH COAST.
GUNS IN ACTION AGAINST A ZEPPELIN.
NO CASUALTIES AND NO DAMAGE DONE.
(Received September 15. 10 p.m.)
London. September 14
It is officially reported that a Zeppelin again visited the eastern counties of England on Monday night. Bombs were dropped, but there were no casualties, and no damage was done. Stationary and mobile anti-aircraft guns were in action. The visits have become so frequent of late that they are referred to in the London newspapers as "the usual nightly raids."
Dr. McNamara, Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, refused to discuss whether the methods adopted in Paris against Zeppelins should be tried in London when the question was raised in the House of Commons.
Lord Strachie postponed his proposed question in the House of Lords on air raids. The postponement was at t-he request of the Admiralty. It is understood that Sir Percy, Scott's appointment to take charge of the gunnery defences of London indicates an intention to reorganise anti-aircraft precautions.
