FRENCH PLANNED
BIGGEST AIRSHIP
IN THE WORLD

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, Sept. 10.-The Cologne Ca
zettey prints the report that just pre-
vious to the outbreak of the war the
French military authorities were
planning to build the biggest airship
in the world"
LAS far as known to insiders" says
the article. this new airship, the in
yentor of which is Arno Boerner. is
to have length of 500 meters and a
width of 20 meters: in other words,
it would be nearly three times as big
as a Zeppelin.
Instead of the baskets this new
type has a bridge which extends from
the forepart along the entire length of
the airship in the afterpart. The gas
bags of which there are about So
have a quadratic ground plan and
consist each of three balloonettes
linked together and filled with hydro
gen, nitrogen and ordinary air. The
hydrogen balloonette is surrounded by
nitrogen, the latter by air. BY this
system the hydrogen should be pre-
vented from being exploded by light
ming or other ignitlng agencies. Furth-
ermore the escape of gas by diff
fusion is reduced considerably.
According to the statements of its
inventor this airship would remain
afioat several days without Interrupt
ton, and have a carrying capacity Of
800 persons. 1t is certain that the
plans and calculations were worked
out to their minutest details and were
submitted to the French ministry of
war in comprehensive memorial. But
Immediately previous to the Austrian
ultimatum the negotiations were only
progressed to a stage where the
French government ordered the sum of
100000 francs to be appropriated and
entrusted we'll known company, the
Zodiak- Works, with the preliminary
work. This was too late to render
the airship available in the present
war"

JAPANESE PLAN
Continued from Page y

There have been extensive move
ments of Chinese troops in the coast
provinces, but the war department
announces they are designed only
against possible revolutionary OUT
breaks and to prevent anti-foreign
demonstrations.
From the province of Shan-Tung
it is reported that the Chinese are as
sociating all foreigners with Japanese,
because they learn that the British.
French and Russians are their allies.
The German authorities, 1t is report
ed, have been making efforts to
transfer the Tsing-TauT sinan Rail-
way to the Chinese, but the Picking
government Is unwilling to take over
the road, fearing to complicate mat
ters with the japanese.
Japanese newspaper correspondents
are accompanying the japanese army
on its march to Kiao-Chow. The
troops are commanded by Lieutenant
General Kamio.
An undated German official report
received in Picking says:
Governor Meyer Waldeck of Kiao-
Chow reports that the Japanese out
posts have crossed the frontier of the
German leased territory. The Germans
maintained their positions. In the Skin
mishes between the advance guards
the Japanese, despite their superior
numbers, suffered great losses"

In Municipal Court

Eugene Campbell of Litchield was be-
fore the municipal court Thursday charg-
ed with q violation OF the law regarding
the school attendance of children. DR..
Goss apd Irving Cram of the town school
committee and Mr.. Arey. the superin-
tendent, were present and stated their
case. It appears that they were fearful
of establishing a precedent If they allow
ed the eight-year-old daughter of Mr..
Campbell to remain away from school.
Mr.. Campbell said that his child was
receiving advantages and instruction at
his home equal to those offered by the
town. Another daughter, a recent grad
uate of Litchheld Academy. was acting
as her instructress.
Judge Atkins discharged Campbell as
he considered that the conditions Of the
law had not been violated.

Separate Organization of Progressive
Party Asset of the Democracy

Notwithstanding the steadily dimin-
ishing vote of the Progressive party,
it is demonstrated in this election that
it still has sufficient strength to endan-
ger the adoption of Republican and
Progressive policies and the election
of candidates supporting them. Ger
tainty of success in coming elections
can be had only by united action
against Democratic principles and
Democratic candidates.
Those Who Believe in Republican
Principles Should Act Together
candid view of the election just
held in Maine establishes conclusively
that the great majority of the voters
who oppose Democratic principles, now
accept the Republican organization as
the best instrument with which to
achieve good government, and give eff
feet to the sound and patriotic pol
icies for which the Republican party
has long stood.
1t also establishes the fact that the
Republican organization now enjoys
the confidence and support of the party
membership.
Int INepuDiICdu pdilS JiSSdS IOl piAiy
the assistance that the voting strength
of those who acted with the Progress
sives will give to 1t, but as we'll the
leaven of progressive ideas and pro-
gressive principles for which these
men stand. and 1t is our duty as Re-
publcans to present to ProgressiVes
everywhere the aims and purposes OF
the Republican party, and to urge up
on them the wisdom of acting in sue
ceeding elections with the Republican
party On the other hand, it Is the
duty of those voters who, having sup
ported Progressive candidates, still &C
cept and believe in Republican prin-
ciples, to join with the $4,000 who
voted the Republican ticket in 1914
in an effort to make the Republican
party of the future fully responsive
to the best inspiration of its mem
bership and a completely effective in
strument with which to give good gov
eminent to Maine and to the nation.
The candidates and leaders of politi-
cal parties change with succeeding
elections. They are what the party
membership makes them. Party action
is wise and efficient when the individ-
ual members of the party by united
action make it SO. AS many of the
men who supported Colonel Roosevelt
in 1912 have helped in this election as
candidates. committeeman, and lead
ers, to guide the action Of the Repub-
lican party, so can the $4,000 who sup
ported Mr.. Gardner in this election
influence the action of the Republican
party in 1916, if they will lay aside
personal differences and join in the
support of Republican principles, fol
by the operation of our primary laws
direct control of party action by the
voters is absolutely assured as to plat
form declarations, selection of party
committees and choice of candidates
1t is the duty of the voters of Maine
who think alike and desire good an6
effective government to act together
hereafter so that in 1916 we shall fur
ther reduce the Democratic vote an6
win a splendid victory for Republican
principles and candidates.

Driving Germans
A report says General Rennen-
kampf, who withdrew over the east
Prussian frontier when the German
reinforcements arrived, has himself
received more men and has again
taken the offensive and compelled the
Germans in their turn to withdraw
1t is considered probable that the
fall of Jaroslau and the isolation of
PrZemysT has compelled the Germans
to look more closely to the protection
of their line drawn from Thorn to
Kalisse, which guards Posen as the
Russians are now able to release a
large number of men for the invasion
of that part of Germany.
The Servfan and Montenegrin armies
composed largely of veterans of the
Balkan battlehelds. are before Sara
jevo, capital of Bosnia, flushed with
victory and preparing to take this
latest acquisition of the dual monar-
chy.
In the operations here. the invaders
look forward to hearty welcome
from the greater part of the popula-
ton, who belong to the same race as
they do. This war, while in Bosnia and
Galicia, is uniting races long separated
by artificial boundaries, and is also
drawing together races and sects oil
all countries engaged.
