Show oo Three Small Towns Called Mapleton May Be Bombed LONDON. Nov. 29. A Gorman official of-ficial communique mentions as one of tho objectives of the recent Zeppelin raid, the town of Mapleton. There are only three Mapletons in England, and none of them could by the furthest stretch of the imagination be described describ-ed as a town of military importance. The largest of the trio, in Yorkshire, has a population of only 350. The other two, one in West Derbyshire and the other in West Yorkshire, have 200 and 175 population respectively. The only public buildings in any of the three towns are the local churches, and the smnllest of the Maplotons has not even a church. |
