THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

Berlin, September, 1.-The first mention in the German Press of the reported wrecking of Zeppelins is contained in telegrams from The Hague published" by the Tageszeitung and the Tageblatt reproducing the reports from London and New York.

A personal inquiry at the Imperial Air Office elicited o Mout-denial of any knowledge of the matter. It is not yet possible to obtain a statement from the War Ministry Meanwhile. the Vassische Zeitung and other papers this evening state on the authority of the Imperial Naval Office that some of the German airships which have to be handed to the Eatente were dismantled during the last weeks of the war as they were no longer of any use for warlike purposes. Seven others. however, were in fact destroyed by their own crews about the same time and later, as a sequel to the sinking of the warships at Scapa Flow, though nothing was, at the time, publish- ed in the Press-Reuter.
