New York. Nov. Count Ferdinand
y"n Zeppelin, the German ,.irship-
maker, is planning n visit 10 America
some time in the next year or two.
according 10 his counsin, Hugo Won
leuncl!... who is now in New York with
lis wife ontihe first stage of an Amer
lean pleasure trip. Hugo Is associated
with the count in his work.
fou know the count bears vivid
recolectlons of his part in your Civil
war when he made his first trip in a
balloon. It was with Gen Carl
Seizures brigade that lie had his first
opportunity to ascend in captive bal
loon to take observations of the con-
1cuerhe troops His experience in
aeronautics during your Civil war had
a good deal to do to make him develop
me dlrigible as an instrument of war.
Motor troubles seem to be the great

now under construction and j believe

OF drigiblcs."
Hugo Won Zeppelin said that his
cousin had no Intention of surprising
America by coming across the Atlantic
In an airship. although II was not
liuproDapie mat he would bring a small
dlrigible with him. The count, he
added, regarded the Welman attempt
to cross the ocean as an extremely haa-
ardous undertaking which was doomed
to failure before =, start was made.
The idea OF a polar expedition by
balloon, however. has q firm hold on
the aged count and lie will launch such
an expedition next summer with the
approval and patronage of Prince
Henry of Prussia. The count and
Prince Henry spent nearly two months
recently in Spit2bersen making prcpnr-
atoms for the polar trip. They only
returned a few weeks ago, declaring

The editor OF the News received
noon:
sal; Lake City. Utah, NOV. Z, 1910.
Deserct News-Thcrc are few PEG
pie just at this time who are clamorlng
for the publication OF private letter
which was sent by Senator Smoot to
President Joseph F. Smith III January,
1909. believe that rewards have been
offered Tor the publication Of this
pirate letter, also TOR the telegram
which Was sent by Senator Smoot to
President smitl, as answer TO the telo-
gram which has been published 80 eX-
tensively, and which was signed by
myself, Hyrum NJ. Smith and Nephi
L.. Norris.
l would not intrude any Of these
matters on The News, which per-
tain TO political questions. except to
explain the reason WHY Senator Smoot
should ask President Smith to read u
certain letter to- the senders of the
famous telegram. Prior to January Il,
1909, which is the date OF the letter
in question:, Senator Smoot had re-
ceived numerous communications
from Leading men and members OF
the Church, urging that something
should be done relative to the state
wide prohibition question:: that the
Church. through Its resolution passed
at conference, was demanding state
wide prohibition and that certain
members OF the Church had gone so
far as to claim that legislators who
were members OF the Mormon Church,
were hound by the action of the con-
ference whether present and voting
for the resolution nor not.
Senator Smoot held to the view that
1t was q dangerous proposition for the
Church, as such, to insist on the pas
sage of any measure before the legis-
lature and holding to these views.
would he not very rightly and properly
write TO the president of the Church
on such matter, which he did In a
letter covering several pages?
telegram We're Church officials of more
'or less prominence. what more natural
or proper way would he answer the
telegram We sent than by asking the
president Sof1the Church to read his LETT
ter to us, which wns written a few days
before and sshichs from sh;asptdnt of.
View covered n theT @hole statewide
prohibition question? espec;al lily. when
II is remembered that in our telegram
sent to Senator Smoot we stated that
''the Church, demands It,"
i submit, that in view OF The facts
In the case. there Is no fair minded man
who will not be inclined to say that
Senator Snloot made TO the senders Of
the telegram the most full. proper and
sensible answer that could have been
given under the circumstances. RE-
spcctfully c. w. NIBLEY.
