New York.?Twelve attempted raids on London by Zeppelins during1 December were repulsed by the British, chiefly through large fleets of aeroplanes, and three of tbj German air craft were destroyed or captured, Recording to Dr. W. H Vincent, of the Colonial Medical Corps, who arrived today on the American liner Philadelphia. t "The real reason why Zeppelins I have not been able to bombard LonL * don or its suburbs since October 14 last," said Dr. Vincent, "is because L the British have established an elaborate and efficient defense against if the German air raiders. During the i month iif l Wwnim 1?* w . i<v.v<:inui;i iilCH' M L" I't" IWIMVC j separate attempts by Zeppelins to reach London. From two to four Zepj pelins participated in each attempt.
