greatly improving the performance.

Berlin and land at the Tempelhof pa.

gathered there. The emperor and en-
press, several of the princes and the
leading military officials and officers
were present, and towards evening
searchlights were set to work in an
ticipation of the approach of the air
ship. Soldiers kept an enormous space
clear for several hours, when a dis.
patch from Bitterfeld announced that
the airship was returning to the start
