ACCORDING to frontier correspondents, German deserters arriving at Maastricht state that on April 23rd one of the newest Zeppelins was destroyed in a storm on a trial trip between Friedrichshafen and Wilhelmshafen. The gale. overturned the airship east of Duisbourg. An explosion ensued, and the wreckage fell in a wood. The crew, including two under- managers of the Zeppelin works, were killed. The Lost British Airship. MESSAGES from Berlin state that the lost British airship was brought down" by two German aeroplanes 20 miles off Zeebrugge on April 21st. The Berlin message states that there were three men in the car, but the Kolnische Zqitung gives the crew as eight. A Derelict Austrian Seaplane. A SEMI-OFFICIAL statement published in Rome on Monday says that " an Austro-Hungarian seaplane, the K 188, has been recovered derelict, the airman having probably perished in the sea."
