LONDON, Feb. 1, 11.15 p.m.

It is reported that airships appeared off the south-east coast to-night. The forts opened fire and drove them across the Chazzel.

The authorities in London and elsewhere were very prompt in taking precautions by obecaring lights and protecting importan poizie. All wai done with splendid orderliness and calm.

LONDON, Feb. 2, 300 n.m. There was gun-firing by the cost batteries and searchlights were busy, bat no hostile airereft appeared.

Rumours ware rile in London that a fleet of Zeppelink was approaching, but the rumours were bavaless. The activities noted were probably in con nection with trial defence measure, entailing a further diminution of light and the calling cut of the special constables.
