Some Extra Safeguards.

Both Of these latest Zeppelins were
known to have attained absolute control
of the expansion and contraction OF their
gas lift, due TO tie perfection of system
of circulating currents OF air. driven by
pumps through the air space between the
gas chambers and the inclosing hull

and navigating charts. The whole gon-
dola was closed in with a steamer deck
canopy and glass windows. Leather
divans were placed for the captain and
his officers.
The officers quarters were amidships,
built closely into the bottom OF the hull.
This was a comfortably furnished cabin,
100 feet in length. A long gangway OF
shape ran from the bow to the stern OF
the ship and connected the navigating

was "a knots, or 62.ls statute miles an
hour. This was accomplished with $50
more horsepower than the LII possessed.
The Mauretana's fastest average speed
is 270i knots. The LIZ made this great
speed with motors weighing only 1874
pounds, or seventy-six pounds lighter
than the same motor that drove the Lei.
Motors and the crew of twenty-five rep

run amounted to six tons. leaving "a
tons for wireless equipment, guns and
ammunition.

by the specifications. published last year

cording TO the mission undertaken.
The LIZ was not the largest airship
which the German Admiralty contem-
plated. Her successors, according to the
published estimates by army journals,
were to attain sizes up to 5000 cubic
metres. Zeppelin engineers had expressed
the opinion that airships OF that size
were entirely feasible. A ship of 5000
metres would arrive at the colossal d.
mansions OF $50 feet. with diameter OF
eighty feet. and command lao TO l.5D

addition TO the fatal accidents to Cap
tain Haeseler Lieutenant Koch and
Sergeant Mantle, of the Army Aviation
Corps, severe injuries were sustained
by Lieutenants Baron Won Gayle, Won
Bauer and Schroeder, and slight hurts
by Lieutenant Won Schoele during last
night while making long distance
flights. An aviation pupil Of the name
Of Hesse was seriously injured yester-
day at Cassel.
James w. Gerard, the American Am
bassador, called at the German Foreign
Office to-day to express the condolences
Of the United States government and
himself in connection with the disaster
TO the Zeppelin balloon. He was re-
ceived by Or. Alfred zimmerman.
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. in
the absence OF the Secretary Of State.
The catastrophe has, Of course,
caused CONSERVATION throughout Ger
many. The countrys air supremacy
was badly hurt last month with the
wreck OF the LII off Heligoland and
was shattered this morning. Now even
Zeppelin enthusiasts question the safe
ty and the value of the apparatus
which has taken so heavy death toll
and cost, apparently uselessly, so many
millions OF marks.
Count Zeppelin, when informed at
Munich OF the disaster. broke down
entirely, and fears for his health are
entertained. The Kaiser. who was at
Bonn when news OF the accident was
brought to him. almost wept. My
poor men! But it's Gods wish. Don't
let us lose courage" he said.
AS soon as the disaster was generally
known the airship Hansa was ordered
TO sail over Berlin to reassure the
people. The Hansa was received with
loud cheers. 1t is probable that the
government will conduct a sharp in
quest into the causes OF the accident
before any new orders are given to the
Zeppelin firm.

Fall Fatal to Others.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE German army, as
well as the German navy, suffered from
aviation accidents to-day. Three army
officers belonging to the Flying Corps
were killed this morning in aeroplane ac-
cidents. Captain Haeseler. Lieutenant
Koch and Sergeant Mantle were the VIC
Tins.
Captain Haeseler. accompanied by Lieu

Koch. accompanied by Sergeant Mamie,
left Berlin last night. with instructions to
fly to points In Siesia and Bavaria re-

plane broke down when the aviators were

Ter endeavored to make an emergency
landing in the darkness. The aeroplane
settled on treetop.
Captain Haeseler was pinned beneath
the motor with an arm and both legs
broken. His companion. Lieutenant Won
Freyberg, was not injured. He clambered
down and secured help, but after en-
deavoring for several hours with assist
ance to extricate his companion the gaso-
lene tank OF the aeroplane exploded and
Captain Haeseler was burned to death.
Lieutenant Koch and Sergeant Mantle
fell with their aeroplane near Wurzburg
and were both instantly killed.

Reactionary Phase.

Whether President Wilson is more
than theoretically in favor of civil
service reform or not is an open qdes-
ton. But there is no disputing the
fact that the majority in the senate
composed OF his party is not even
theoretically in favor of that policy.
This was made evident when the
Democratic majority in that body re-
Gently voted an authorization to the
secretary of the treasury, through the
commissioner of internal revenue, to
appoint the large number of deputy
collectors and other agents needed to
collect the income tax, without any
civil service examinations or other
restrictions. Perhaps a large share of
the enthusiasm of Democratic Sena-
tors for the income tax is founded on
the opportunity thus afforded to pro-
vide for hungry constituents without
the obstacle of an examination to test
their mental equipment.
This is quite in line with the course
of the state department in filling dip
lomatic posts with appointees for po-
litical reasons-though the selections
have been on the whole personally
creditable. The Democratic regime is
getting reactionary on the civil serv-
ice question.

T|R|NG THE COUNTRY
Democratic StrenuousneSS Be-
coming Wearisome.
PROPOSED Program of "Reform" LegIs-
Iation Would Surely Mean a Con-
tinued Session of Congress
for Year.

From Washington through the As
ISOLATED Press comes the apparently
authorized announcement that Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic lead
ers have laid out program of re
FORM legislation which is expected
to keep congress busy for another
twelve months.
Congress has been in session near
ly six months. If the currency bill 1s
pressed the extra session will con-
tinde, probably, until the regular ses-
sion begins.
The administration program is re-
ported to include more trust busting
proceedings, some further large extern
sions of the interstate commerce
commissions powers to regulate the
railroads, to the extent, perhaps, OF
taking their operation as well as their
finances out of the hands of their
nominal owners, and probably any
thing else that any eager-eyed re
former" can think of.
The prospect is certainly a gloomy
one for quiet-minded citizens who
have to make a living and would like
a little peace now and then from
legislative meddling with everybody's
business affairs to attend to their own
business.
Chances are that the most popular
thing President Wilson could do at
the opening of the regular session In
December would be to urge congress
to dispose of the currency question,
pass the appropriation bills promptly,
go home and give the country a rest!
1t Is a long time since any presi-
dent has done anything of that kind.
Its doing by Mr.. Wilson would be a
decided novelty. A rest-a period in
which to look about and take stock OF
what is left after the political whirE
winds that have been sweeping over
the country from Washington ever
since 1904-is greatly needed by this
sorely pestered nation.
Will not Woodrow Wilson exert the
influence of his great office to give us
a rest?

Where They Are United.

Industrial education is favored by
Republicans and Progressives alike.
And both of these great parties recog-
nize tire hopelessness of attempting to
cure old and widespread industrial ills
and social wrongs without throwing
out of the path of progress the out
worn and obstructive Democratic doc
trine of states rights, in the exag
gerated form to which that party
clings. On this vital point there is no
real difference between Republican
and Progressive doctrines or beliefs.
But both are utterly and hopelessly
opposed to the views and principles
of the minority party now in power in
the nation because its natural oppo-
nents are divided.

Is If Worth II?

Americans consumed 5000, 100000
pounds of sugar during the last fiscal
year. One-third of the domestic pro-
duction was cane sugar and two-thirds
beet sugar. The per capita consump-
ton was nearly 100 pounds. 1t is quite
possible that free sugar will mean a
saving of as much as SO cents every
year for every citizen, although the
beet and cane planters will have a
hard time making their share show on
the bank books.
