From the beginning we were much more impressed by the views of British men of science than by the stories from Germany. Even when the cables arrived showing the results of the first, airship raids it was clear that only chance could make such a form of attack of any military value. That the people of Britain were suprised that these vessels could swim in the air over the land which they had come to regard as secure from invasion was ap parent to the Germans, and they made the most of the psychological effect pro duced. It was only natural that people who lost relatives, foully murdered by bombs dropped from above, should call for revenge. The feeling of helplessness, when sudden death descended from the clouds, can be imagined and understood. All the more praise to those who refused to be moved by the appeals to answer Zeppelins by Zeppelins.
