WRECK OF ZEPPELIN L. 19

Amsterdam, Feb. 6. The German Press raises a howl of indignation over the refusal of the crew of the trawler King Ste-phon to rescue the crew of the Zeppelin L 19. It says the latter could have been disarmed.

Count van Reventlow affirms that the Zeppelin L 19, being evidently crippled, should have obtained nsy-Jum in Holland instead of being shot down. He contends that a crippled German man-of-war would _have been given protection in Dutch waters.
