Adalbert. third son of the Kaiser.
Another Ship Appears.
While thousands OF Berliners were
racing to Johannisthal to see the re-
mains of the L-2. the Zeppelin pas
se1ger cruiser Hansa suddenly ap-
peared over the capitol. She was
greeted with cheers by the crowds who
saw her.
1t was said that the Hansa was or
dered aloft to counteract the effect on
the public of what is now admitted to
be the greatest catastrophe in the his
tory of German aviation.
The destroyed dirigible was the par
ticular pet of Count Zeppelin. While
she was building he announced that
across the Atlantic to New York and
from there perhaps to San Francisco
for the Panama-Pacific Exposition. He
afterward abandoned the project
Count Zeppelin, when informed of to-
days accident, broke down and was un-
able to make a statement
Kaiser Overcome.
Kaiser Wilhelm, who was at Bonn
when appraised of the disaster, said:
It's Gods will. Germany must be
strcng and bear courageously"
He was utterly crushed at first, over
come with emotion. Later he Iele-
graphed his sympathy to the families
OF the victims. The Empress Augusta
did the same.
The tragedy is expected to cast a
damper over the celebration at Leipsic
tomorrow, arranged to commemorate
the defeat of Napoleon by the Austrians
and Germans in 1913. 1t is feared. too,
that it will paralyze the aerial passer-
ger traffic Of Germany. in which 1900
people have been carried without loss
Of life or injury.
Official Germany is heartbroken and
the whole nation is plunged into mourn
ing. Friends fear that the catastrophe
will have a disastrous effect on the
health of Count Zeppelin.
Two theories were advanced as 10
the cause of the accident One was
that an electric spark ignited the ben
zine tank and this communicated fire
10 the gas bag. The other was that
Electricity generated by friction caused
he explosion.
Ehe sole survivor OF the accident
was Lieut. Baron Won Blucl, of the
Queen Augusta Grenadier Guards.
