AFFECTS AVENUE BUILDINGS.
Conference Agreement May Permit
Height Of 100 Feet.

A change In the law relative to the
height of buildings in the District as af-
fecting Pennsylvania avenue throughout
its entire length may result from the
conference on the bill recently passed by
Congress making certain amendments TO
the District building regulations a SEN
ate amendment provided that in the
square on the north side of Pennsylvania
avenue. between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, the height Of buildings might be
Increased from the present limit. 100 feet,
10 100 feet
Much opposition to this provision arose
in certain quarters. Yesterday il seemed
likely that the Senate cOnferees on the
bill would recede from its amendment.
and that the conferees would agree 20 an
amendment permitting all the buildings
in Pennsylvania avenue TO be constructed

Paris May 1.-THE wreck Of the airship
Zeppelin II by a windstorm at WeiIburg
and Paulhan's flight in an aeroplaue from
London to Manchester nave served TO
shake the faith OF the German military
authorities in the utility of the dirigibIe
balloon as an engine Of war. except I'M
der favorable weather conditions. and TO
vindicate the attitude OF the French
minister Of war. who. in reply to a re-
cent attack in the senate. said that the
French war Office had not voted large
sums for the construction of dirigible bal
looms because the recent developments in
the aeroplane gave promise Of that type
Of aerial vessel becoming the more ser
viceable as a military weapon.
France Leads Germany.
In respect to heavier than air machines.
France can boast Of big lead over Ger
many. Paulhan. Bleriot Latham. Rou-
gier. Farman. and many other of the
worlds leading aviato-s are French. and
France possesses the best types of ma
chimes. many factories capable Of turning
out a large number in short time. and
the finest training schools.
Hitherto German experts have neglected
the aeroplane soothing at the idea of it
ever becoming Of any practicable use. and
pnning their faith exclusively to dirigibIe
airships. The recent flights of aeroplanes
in France, crowned by Paulhan's achieve
ment will certainly have an important
effect upon Germany's aerial policy.
Zeppelin Days Over.
While the Gross and Parseval diriCible
vessels will no doubt retain their places
as army auXiliaries, it is expected that
the rigid Zeppelin has had its day Yep
pclins despite their spectacular and pop
ular successes in great cross-countrv
cruises. have enjoyed only half-hearted
