DESCRIBES RAIDS OK LONDON
(Correspondence of the Associated
Tress.)
BERLIN, Sept. 25. Lieutenant
Peterson, German navy, one of the
few German officer who hare re
peatedly visited London alnce the
outbreak of the war, la visiting Ber
lin, where a correspondent of the
Associated Presa had an opportunity
' to hare a conversation with him
upon his Impressions of the British
metropolis.
Lieutenant Peterson, a young,
beardless, smiling Westphallan, Is
neither secret service officer nor re
turned prisoner of war, but one of
the senior officers in the German
navy's aerial fleet and his visits have
been made in command of one of
the naval Zeppelins which have kept
London in semi-darkness and ap
prehension since the opening of the
aerial raid campaign. He refutes
the reassuring reports given out by
the, English as to the small effects
of the. bomb-dropping campaign.
. Evidence of Aeeosnplishment.
"Mr. Balfour aaya that the deatrucv i
effect of the air raiders has been umil',
almost tnslgnlf leant, from a military
point of view, and that we are unable
to see' what we accomplice." remarked
the Zeppelin commander. "We see and
know better When we aee a bis fac
tory upder ua collapse after an ex
plosion, or when we drop a fire bomb
upon -the London docks or adjoining
storehouses and aee theae burst Into
bright flame a, we know that we are ac
complishing something.
