Only One Survivor When Big

SEVERAL VICTIMS WERE
GERMAN NAVY OFFICERS
Board on a Trip of Inspection
Bodies of the Crew SO Badly Burned
as TO Be Unrecognizable.

BERLIN, Oct. IA disaster in the

Lieutenant Freyer Of the German ma
val flying corps were on board.
Lieutenant Baron Won Bluel, making
II trip as Il guest, is the only survivor,
and he is in dangerous condition.
The bodies of many of the crew were
so badly burned as to be unrecogniz-
ale.
Everything was apparently in good
order when the airsirip started. Then
suddenly an explosion was heard by
those on the ground, apparently in one
of the motors. In the next instant
the whole airship was on fire. \ see
ond and more violent explosion oc-
cured as the flames reached the gaso-
line tanks, containing ton of fuel,
and in another moment the newest and
finest of Germany S dirigibles lay a
flaming mass on the ground. Men
armed with axes hacked at the wreck
age two hours before all the bodies
were removed. Six occupants of the
center gondola were blown through
the sides of the car by the first ex-
plosion, falling 400 yards away from
