ularly little
has been heard of them so far during the war, and, apart from the Antwerp
exploits, they have done practically no damage. On the other hand, several
have been destroyed: the number has been variously estimated from two to
six. One, said to be the "LZ10," was brought down in October at
Grandvilliers, ten miles from Belfort. Our photographs show: (1) debris of
the shattered framework; and (2) wreckage of the cars. Another Zeppelin
was destroyed in October by the fire of Russian batteries near Warsaw, and
its broken remains were taken to Petrograd to be examined. The British
air-raid on Duesseldorf also accounted for one or possibly two.

[Illustration: BRITISH SOLDIERS AS CAVE-DWELLERS: THE UNDERGROUND,
SHELL-PROOF QUARTERS OF "A CERTAIN HIGHLAND REGIMENT" AT THE FRONT.]

The ground occupied by the British troops on the banks of the Aisne
consisted, in many places, of steep hill-sides or cliffs penetrated like a
rabbit-warren with the workings of old stone-quarries. The officer who

both from rain and 'Jack Johnsons' for several weeks to ----, a certain
Highland regiment. The cave consisted of three long passages capable of

the sketch. It was dark and dirty, but with plenty of straw on the ground
it made a fairly comfortable refuge. The sketch shows the part of the cave
occupied by the officers and headquarters."--[Facsimile Sketch by a

After the fall of Tsing-tau on November 7 the Admiralty cabled to the
Japanese Minister of Marine: "The Board of Admiralty send their heartiest
congratulations to the gallant Army and Navy of Japan on the prosperous
and brilliant issue of the operations which have resulted in the fall of
Tsing-tau." The Japanese began the blockade on August 27, occupying some
neighbouring islands as a base. Mine-sweeping was the first task, and
then, on S
