GAS BAG TO BE ENLARGED.
Changes to Be Made in the Zeppe

BERLIN, October s. 1909.
AS a result Of the liberal experience OF
the past summer a number of changes
are to be introduced into future airships
Of the Zeppelin type The most important
Of these will be the provision of a third
motor, bringing up the total horsepower
from go to 345. To carry the additional
weight a corresponding increase Of gas
capacity is necessary. While the 1900

1900 in it's two successors, this latter
figure will be further augmented to 10000

The experiments with wireless teleg-

from Zeppelin III, are to be continued in
a most systematic manner.

sportsman, Herr Karl Vollmoeller, pub

that aeroplanes. and not monster airships,
have the greater future, and advises Ger
mans to pay more attention to the con-
Structfon of the former.

Are Snakes Stupidp
From the North American Review.

From the North American Review.
1t Is a matter Of qualification. naturally.
that our snake was considered to be as
intelligent as his predecessors. but there
was really no need Of exceptional acu-
men to enable him to play his part sue
cessfully If the devil took possession Of
his body in order to accomplish a. ne
farious purpose 1t was the devil. not the
snake, who framed the enticing arSu-
ment for the unsuspecting Eve. II, again,
1t was Lilith who seized an opportunity
to advance the cause Of woman suffrage,
clearly twas her keen appreciation of
the power of curiosity that led to the fall.
In either case the snake was a mere
dupe Of one more cunning than himself
to further a project in which he had no
personal interest and whose method OF
accomplishment was foreign to his shy
incHnations. If he had been as crafty as
he has been reputed, can one suppose for
a moment that he would have assumed a
role which was certain to win the ever
la sting hatred of mankind? No: there
have been and are good snakes and bad
snakes just as there have been good
Ewes. like Godiva. or Good-eva. of Cow
entry, and as there are bad Ewes, some
of whom we know. But there Is no real
ground for the common belief that snakes
are endowed with peculiar sapience.

CONFESSES TO OLD MURDER
A GERMAN TELLS HOW HE
KILLED ENGLISH TOURIST.
Still Wearing Hat of Bicyclist He
Assassinated and Robbed on Coun-
try Road Seven Years Ago.
Correspondence Of The Star.


BERLIN, October 3, 1909.
A strange mystery, in which an I'M
known Englishman figures as the vic
tim of a murder committed seven years
ago near Stuttgart. is at present being
investigated by the police of the Wurttem-
berg capital. A few days ago an artisan
named Paul Gotzelt. who has a long rec
ord Of penal servitude, walked into the
police station and lightened his con-
science by confessing to two serious rob-
berries and a murder. According to his
account of the latter crime, his victim
was a foreign cyclist, apparently an
Englishman, whom he killed on coun-
try road several miles from Stuttgart
toward the end of July, 1903. The dead
mans pocketbook, he said, contained
some papers. a photograph taken at Nor
witch. a Rundreiso ticket and $500 In
ffty-mark notes. After appropriating Its
contents he flung the pocketbook into a
neighboring pond, and then, after pro-
visionally hiding the corpse, he rode the
bicycle to Stuttgart.
His next step was to purchase spade,
with which. after nightfall, he returned
to the scene of the murder and buried
the body at an 1nconspicuous spot. He
took with him the dead mans hat, which
he declared was the one he was wearing
VII lIc ddy VI illo COAlSoSIOH. vi lliO wi
lowing morning he took the train to Co
logne, whence he travelled to Leipzig. and
here, at the Michaelmas fair, he squan-
dered his booty in dissipation.
Such was the story of Goetzelt told to
the police. He was, of course. taken in
charge and his confession investigated.
1t was soon proved that the robberies he
described had actually been committed.
When. however. the more grave crime
was required to he had apparently re-
flected to some purpose on the unpleasant
consequences which a conviction might
have for himself. and he absolutely de-
clined to say another word about 1t. The
only corroboration of his statements was
the hat, which bears on the inside band
the makers or vendors name. Barley,
London" 1t is in very good state Of
preservation. but this is easily accounted
for by the fact that since 1908 Goetzelt
has been almost uninterruptedly in prison.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, October 1, 1909.
There are thousands of woman clerks
in London who are scof1ng at a Bank of
England shareholders objection to the
employment of woman clerks on the
ground that they cannot keep a secret.
No one knows how many woman clerks
there are in London. but they are to be
employed in the savings bank department
of the post office as we'll as In other gov
eminent departments.
One Of the most convincing answers to
the objection is provided by the famous
dressmaking business of Lady Duff-Gor-
don, the Mime. Lucille" of Hanover
square. With the exception of the man.
ager and one or two assistants and a
few cutters. the business Of Nine. Lucille
is carried on by women and girls. Lady
Duff Gordon writes as follows:
II should be very sorry to say that the
girls in my businessman there are 800 OF
them-cannot keep business secret. l
invent all my own fashions. and they are
the secret of the business for the time;
but do not imagine that any of my girls
would give them to another house, al
though we women are chatterboxes and
always have been.
II think girls are more apt to chatter
about business at home than men are
and how can you prevent any girl from
chattering about a new dress? But that
is a different matter altogether from
giving business secrets away. We have
a number Of girl clerks, as well as the
300 other women and girls AS for CIV
ing them all up and having men instead
why. we couldn't go on for day.
II think women are what you make
them. If a man treats a woman as a
doll, she is apt to regard herself as
doll. If he treats her as an intelligent
reliable person she develops better quail
ties
Look at America! If you go through
the departments In Washington you will
see as many women as men taking part In
the government business. It Is the same
all over America. Every millionaire has
woman secretary, who knows every
thing, that is going on.
There is certainly a difference in
America. for there the consciousness of
sex disappears and women are treated on
equal terms with men. They are better
educated than English women. as a rule
although the sense of sex disappears
in America there is no country were
woman is treated with greater courtesy
and dignity. The result Is seen In the
independence of character and the sell
reliance and dependability of the Amerf-
an women. I don't wish to say anything
against English girls. They are certain
ly more adaptable and reader to grasp
an idea than most men,"
Statistics show that there is great
and a growing demand for women to fill
responsible positions in the large busi-
ness houses Of London. and the large
provincial cities The majority of them
undergo a special training to fit them for
tional establishments which make a fea-
t,Ire of this branch OF work.

CAN LEARN FROM THE FRENCH
GERMAN MILITARY EXPERTS
OPINION OF MANEUVERS.
Army of France, He Declares, Is
Deserving of Greatest Respect
and Earnest Attention.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

BERLIN. October 1. 1909.
The well known military critic. Col.
Gadke, is publishing in the Berliner Tage-
blatt a series of articles on the French
army maneuvers which took place Sep
TENDER IA and September 10. between the
Aller and the upper Loire. He appears
to have set out with the impression. de-
rived from French reactionary circles.
that the army would show signs of de-
terioration as the result of short service
and anti-militarist influences. He comes
away after Having been allowed to see
what I wanted'-and 1t is not in every
army that foreign visitors are given such
facilities-with an enthusiasm which he
sums up in the words: "This army de-
serves in every way our greatest respect
and our most earnest attention. We can
learn from the French at least as much
as they can from u.s.
First Col. Gadke desires to correct the
popular German error that the French
people take no intimate share In the
proceedings of the army. On the con-
trary, he says. the maneuveres are as
much a popular festival in France as
they are in Germany. In spite of there
being no such. special attraction as that
presented by the emperor. the crowd of
spectators was at times as large as at
the German maneuvers. while maps, pic
ture postcards, and other souvenirs were
even more popular than in this country.
Speaking generally, Col. Gadke does not
think that any fresh ideas were discov-
ered but such as there were seemed to be
carried out in a very interesting manner
He notes that in the French as in the
German army an important part in the
education Of a leader, namely, the sharp
ening of Judgment and Of the feeling Of
responsibility, never really finds express
sion. Notwithstanding the mist which
especially impeded the cavalry. he noticed
remarkably few unnatural situations. The
scouting was excellent.
On the whole a proper respect was
shown to the enemy's fire, and the artil
lery and machine guns were employed in
the most suitable manner. The military
airship could not go up, on account of
the fog, before noon on the first day, but
by 3 pm. she is said to have determined
the position of all the enemy's columns
except one cavalry brigade.
eff during the last two days of the ma
neuvers." says Col. Gadke, zone had sud-
denly put the French army into Prussian
uniform. one would have seen a picture
not differing in any respect from that
presented every year by our maneuvers.'

Further up the slope some ten minutes
distance is the mother wonder OF this
freakish corner OF nature. A cones ha ped
lake lies in the center of a bowl OF
hills. and is perforated with some fifty
small bubbling springs, which give the
surface a perpetual ripple of dimples.
Some of these are hot and some cold. In
the center OF the lake is a bottomless
crater. which has been sounded for some
300 feet The Indians tell you, In all
were yet worshiping the god HUT lilo
pochtli, and later disturbed by Cortez
and his mailed warriors. a portion OF
the great treasure for which the mighty
warrior and king Circumference was tor
tured to death was thrown into and
still lies in the bottomless bottom Of
this crater lake. 1t is said that IL the
lake could be drained bars of silver and
gold could be recovered.
In times Of storm the fierce elements
play dangerously near to the springs and
the lake. 1t appears that the storm CEN

heavals and strikes terror to any one
happening in the vicinity. The lightning
seems to really strike into the seething,
tumbling foam and loses itself in the
depths below.
Still beyond the lake. stones throw
from its margin, occurs another queer
eruption. 1t is a hole In the ground.
from which escapes a gas so foul and
deadly that any living thing passing low
enough to the ground will instantly be-
come suffocated with the poison fumes
and die.

OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE.
German Railway in Alsace Will
Menace French Frontier.

FureIgH correspondence OF The STAR.
GENEVA, October 2, 1909
The new German railway in Alsace,
nearly touching the French and Swiss
frontiers, is now practically completed
The new line extends from Danermarie
to Pfetterhausen, within a few miles of
the Swiss frontier. and has direct com
munication with Mulhouse. 1t is a double
track, about twenty miles in length, and
terminates near the Swiss station of
Boufol. which is reached from Porren-
truy by a single track.
The Swiss-German papers call the at
tention of the Swiss government to the
railway. pointing out that it could have
been constructed only for military pur-
poses in order to throw an army rapidly
before the French fortress of Belfort and
thus to turn the strongest position in the
northeast of France in the event of war
