CORRESPONDENT SHEPHERD SEES ZEPPELIN DROP BOMBS (Continued From Page 1.) was chilly, too, and the soldiers on the sidewalks were wrapped in their big overcoats, too drowsy or too comfortable to challenge. i An hour and a half later I was awakened by soldiers talking exctt-| edly beneath my window. But above the sound of their volces was an-| other noise—a terrific whirring high in the alr. I jumped to the window | and looked upward. Par away there sounded a terrific explosion—a deep, booming roar. | A moment later a spark came whirling through the air like a shooting | star gone crazy, It wank into the skyline of roofs and another explosion | sounded. | And then, up against the stars, perhaps a mile high, I saw the Zep- lin. . There's a sick feeling of utter helplesness which goes with such a sight, and with it a kind of fascination at the thought that the thing Rot superhuman—that up there in the sky, men, human beings, are| working, carrying out orders, watching maps, tracing streets, pulling | levers, adjusting greasy machinery, twisting st ng wheels, and light ing the fuses of bombs Intended to kill men, women and children Recalls Story of Little Belgian Princess’ Love for Kaiser I remembered what a great Belgian statesman had said only that This was it: | “Only two Christmases ago Emperor William of Germany and King Albert of Belgium spent part of the holiday season together. “King Albert's baby daughter loved the emperor so much, because he played with her, that she cried to get on his lap and was inconsolable when his visit ended. | “How he can order his Zeppelins now to drop bombs on the house where this little girl, her brothers and rs and father and mother are sleeping, I can’t understand.’ Another spark fell and there was a third explosion Then a new sound filled the alr. It began far away. rattle of rifles—thousands of them. The firing grew nearer and louder. There were sharp orders. Un der my windows the soldiers began to shoot, the flashes lighting my | room. They pointed their rifles upward. | The sound grew louder and louder. Within a minute the din was indescribable. Thirty thousand soldiers were shooting, each as fast as he could fire a magazine gun | The orders were not to shoot at the Zeppelin, but straight up. The soldiers were filling the air with bullets. They were putting a! fence of metal a mile high around the city and the palace. They filled the air with death messengers that entered the zone above Antwerp. The big guns in the forts around the city began to boom. Aeroguns mounted on automobile trucks dashed about the streets. Like a Million Fourth-of-Julys All Rolled Into One, Says Shepherd It was a million Fourth of Julys rolled into one. In the midst of all there were eight more of the big bass booms, the voices of the Zeppelin bombs, in quick succession To the last, in the m{dst of bullets and the superhuman confusion the supermen in the Zeppelin had tried to stick on the job. ; Two of the bombs fell close to the Red Cross hospit beat a tattoo on the fields around the wireless station, which the air men evidently were trying to destroy The holes in the earth about the station were the size and shape of cisterns. Ten minutes of firing had made the sky unhealthful, As the jast bunch of bombs went over the side of the Zeppelin's car, the big | zirship rose and sped away. The firing subsided slowly Half an hour later the Zepeplin was reported 12 miles away Two children, three women and five men had been injurea three houses were destroyed y all the terrified families in the city had taken refuge in cel day. | It was the| The others and lars, for a week before the same Zeppelin had bombarded it and killed 12 persons. .
