THE Court Circular of February 27th states that the following officers of the French Air Service Directorate, Col. Regnier, Lieut.-Col. Dorand and Commandant Faure, with Col. the Vicpmte de la Panouse (French Military Attache) and Major the Hon. Edward Stonor (Royal Flying Corps, specially attached)—had the honour of being received by His Majesty at Buckingham Palace. Relic of Last September's Zepp. Raid. AN unexploded bomb was found on Saturday embedded in a garden in a Midland town. It is believed to have been thrown from a Zeppelin during the raid last September. An Echo of the •• L. 19 " Incident. THE death from heart failure at Grimsby'on February 24th of Skipper. Martin recalls the wreck of the " L.19 " in the North Sea on February 2nd, 1916, as he was the skipper of the Grimsby trawler " King Stephen " which sighted the wrecked airship. As, however, the crew of the airship numbered 20 and the trawler only carried nine, Martin refused to take the risk of being overpowered. Afterwards Skipper Martin is said to have received anonymous threaten- ing letters from German sympathisers in this country, and the consequent worry appears_to have undermined his health. Germans Fear Air Raids. THE German Government, according to the Busier Nachrichten, has placed a large number of distinguished English and French officers in the concentration camp in an exposed district of Karlsruhe as a guarantee against further aerial bombardments. The raids on Munich have occasioned a good deal of anxiety in Bavaria, and the War Minister has stated that the whole defence of Bavaria against air attacks is now as complete as human power can make it, and that the population can therefore be entirely easy. Bang Went the Window—Ditt» £10. TAKING a photo, of a searchlight is expensive, as John Turner, said to be the son of a clergyman, found to his cost-— £I0—when interviewed by the Mortlake Bench. Defendant pleaded that he was taking a picture of the snow on the common and the searchlight came within range of the camera. A sergeant who was on duty at the searchlight station at the time said he saw the defendant on a windowsill of a house pointing towards the station. When the defendant saw him he banged down the window. The Chairman remarked that such offenders were liable to a fine of ^100 and six months' imprisonment. 206
