VANIMAN ONCE OF HONOLULU
TO FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., September
23.-The work of filling the gas bag
of the big airship Akron has begun
and already more than 100000 cubic
feet of hydrogen gas has been pump
ed into the receptacle. When the Sci
berling-Vaniman expedition is ready
to start on the trip across the Atlantic
ocean the bag will contain more than
100000 cubic feet of gas.
Melvin Vaniman, who will lead his
crew of five men in the perilous jour,
iney across the waters, will not set
any specific date for his departure,
but says that just as soon as he is
ready he will start. This, in all proba-
bility, will be about the middle of next
month. More than 100 expert mechan.
les are working on the airship and
every effort is being made to complete
the big dirigible at the earliest post.
| BILE moment.
Reason for October.
OF the hundreds of visitors who ap-
pear at the hangar here daily, many
are curious to know why it is that the
start across the Atlantic should be
made in October. Vaniman, while the
busiest man about the place, is always
ready to answer any of the questions
put to him.
THE reason we are crossing in Oc-
tober," he said, lis that the govern
ment charts show that the al cur.
rents are favorable at that time. If
we are lucky and should get a good,
stiff wind, l believe we could cross
the ocean to Europe in two days"
While Vaniman is a scientist
through and through, and believes
nothing unless it is supported by hard,
J cold facts and figures, he is of the
opinion that his aeronautical cat,
Trent" which accompanied the
America last year, will bring him
good fortune on the coming trip.
Trent" is big, good-natured cat
and is guarded just as carefully by

of the high cost of living, Brigadier
General Bliss, commanding the De-

TO the fact that the prices for fresh

advancing the expense of maintaining

At 5:35 the first explosion occurred.
1t was followed by three others at one

terrific detonation, which shattered
the windows of the entire city and
was heard for a radius of many miles.
The Liberte was rent asunder; her
bows were thrown high in the air, and
then the vessel slowly settled down,
and in nineteen minutes nothing was
visible but the top works,
Those still on deck were hurled sky

The boats of the rescuers were sunk
and serious damage was done to the
Republique, which lay at anchor close

was hurled against her port side and
demolished the cabin of an absent en-.

For few minutes after the final eX-

Vaniman as though he were the most
valuable asset of the expedition. The
mascot is kept indoors all the time
and is never permitted to stray from
the sight of the Vaniman family. He
is very much attached to both Vani-
man and Mrs. Vaniman. In the even
ing, when the engineer goes to his
cottage from the hangar, Trent" is
always at the door to meet him.
Forlorn Kitten Found.
Last year, when Vaniman was pre-
pairing the America" for it's attempt
to cross the ocean, a little forlorn kit
ten was found in sack. The owner
evidently had prepared him for a
watery grave. From the inside of this
sack there occasionally came a plain
tive "meouw." The engineers sym.
pathies were Immediately aroused
and he rescued the kitten.
Kitten said Vaniman, who can al
most talk the cat language, you're
going to have a trip that no other cat
before ever had. I'm going to take
you along in the America"
And so Kitten" as he was then
called, became a member of the Vani-
man family and when the America
scared from the shores of Atlantic
City last year he was among those
present. After the abandonment of
the airship and the rescue by the
steamer Trent, it was decided to give
the cat the name of the boat. Since
then he has borne the name of Trent
and has waxed fat and proud of his
position as the Vaniman mascot
And so when the Akron flies away
across the ocean next month Trent
will have a place of honor in the life

made for him

WORST CALAMITY IN HISTORY
OF The FRENCH NAVY DESCRIBED

TOULON, France, Sept 25.-More
than 300 officers and men of the
French battleship Liberte lost their
lives today when the ship was torn
apart and totally destroyed in the har-
Dor here by an explosion of her maya
zines. The battleship Republique was
badly damaged, and the battleships
Democratic and Verite suffered heav-
lily from the masses of twisted iron
and armor plate hurled upon their
decks.
This is the greatest disaster that
has ever befallen the French navy and
in magnitude is almost without prece-
dent in the annals of the worlds
fighting ships.
The explosion which wiped out one
of Frances most powerful battle
ships occurred at $3.50 o'clock in the
morning. 1t was the result OF an out
break of fire. The flames spread rap
idly in spite Of all efforts to eXtingu'sh
them and reached the magazines be
fore there was time to flood them. The
magazines exploded with tremendous
violence, sowing death and destruction
in every direction.
More Than 300 Die.
While the naval authorities estimate
the killed at 300, it is feared this Zig
ure will be exceeded. 1t will ne neces'
sary to go through the ships muster
rolls, task of days, before a full list
of the victims can be prepared. Sew
eral men already have been taken
alive from the torn and twisted mass
of wreckage, and the hope is strong
that others may be reached

 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad vantages of modern life with out including the Telephone. By its use to the needs of humanity 1t has proved its claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.
