The comment of the experts In the
German newspapers regarding the
Zeppelin airship is rather unfavorable.
The general verdict is that it lacks
practicability. Eye witnesses pointed
out the fact that it was impossible for
the airship, acting under the most IA
yorable winds and conditions, to re-
turn to the starting point. The ex-
perts noted the fact that, even under
the favorable conditions under which
the experiment was effected, the air
ship was damaged considerably.
