French Raid On Friedrichshafen
BOMBS ON FACTORY
LONDON, Sept. 25 (Reuter), A German zeppelin, factory at Friedrich- shafen on the shores of Lake Constance, which is at present producing aero- plane engines, was bombed by French planes last night.
Eyewitnesses from the Swiss side of the lake, which is five miles across, state that heavy German anti-aircraft fire could be seen, and searchlights crossed the skies for two hours.
From the Swiss aide the roar of the raiding planes could be heard.
Swiss guards sent up rockets to indicate to the planes that they were near
the Swiss frontier,
What success attended the French aircraft is not yet known.
Before the raid, a single unidentified plane passed over Swiss territory, and was fired upon by Swiss batteries.
