THE "KING STEPHEN" TRAWLER AND ZEPPELIN "L 19" INCIDENT in the NORTH SEA,- Bringing retribution home to the Zeppelin air pirates after their raid over England on Monday night last week. The non-rescue of the crew of this wrecked airship is a direct outcome, and a very strong object-lesson, of the estimate in which the word of the Germans is now held by civilised people. had they been other than Germans they would without question have been immediately rescued and brought safely to land, but from past experience the word of the Hun is now synonymous of nothing less than fraud and lying. The Bishop of London has expressed the feelings of most Britons, in regard to this incident, in the following words:-"The whole of the English people ought to stand by the skipper of the trawler that came upon the ruined Zeppelin and could not trust the word of the Germans. Had he admitted those 22 Germans into his boat they might have turned upon the crew , and the whole German Press would have applauded their action as a clever bit of strategy. Any English sailor would have risked his life to save a human life, but the sad thing was that the chivalry of war had been killed by the Germans, and their word could not be trusted."
