STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
' ILL-FATED DIXMUDE. COMMISSION'S REPORT. Reuter’s Telegram. (Received January 29, 12.30 a.m.) PARIS, January 27. The report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Dixmude disaster does not arrive at a definite conclusion, but is inclined to believe that the craft was struck by lightning and fell into the sea from a height of approximately 6000 feet. The French dirigible Dixmude was long missing, and out of control in the air. Eventually her wreckage was discovered in the ocean.
