GERMANY'S AIR FLEET.
"MORE 08, LESS NONSENSE AND BLUFF." "Timet dc Sydney Sun Services." (Received Dec. 28th, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 27th. A correspondent who lias returned from Germany say« the Germans place their hope in their air fleet. They rely on the Zeppelins to cause* panic and the destruction of English sailor*, soldiers, and civilians. This, however, is more or less nonsense and bluff. If a Zeppelin wishes to escape anti-aircraft guns, it will have to fly at such a height that a warship will appear like a star in the heavens. Th 0 damage possible by Zeppelms would therefore probably be small, and largely a matter of good luck. There is, adds the correspondent, a growing feeling agauift keeping the German fleet in strongly fortified harbours, and he fives' this as a reason for the recent raid on the Eas.lt Coast of England.
