than-a machines in that they cannot
rise to az great an altitude or attain
az great a speed. In addition they are
under greatly inferior control.
In their modern form these ships are
the result of more than n century Of
experimentation. Early forms depended
upon man driven and later upon
steam driven propellors. They were
not practical, however, and the diri-
gible in it's present form had it's real
birth when Count Zeppelin commenced
his experiments in 1871.
Until 1903 his efforts resulted in
failure rather than success. Many OF
his machines made successful flights
only to be wrecked when they attempt

WHY WAR IS HELL.

About twenty years ago, says the

who had invented valuable process
for the manufacture OF certain chemi
calls came 10 this country To be nearer
his chief markets. Business prospered
the money flowed in and the young
German chose wife from the people
OF his foster-land.
Last July he took his wife across
the ocean on a vacation trip. and
chiefly so that their first child might be
born in the Fatherland. He expected
TO be back in America by now with
his wife and new baby, but the iron
finger OF war reached out and tapped
him on the shoulder. Within a few
days after the child was born the gov
ernments military emissary stopped
at the Germans door and notified him
that his services were required in the
armies OF the kaiser There was no es-
cape. He had neglected TO take out
American naturalization papers.
His wife has not heard from her
husband since the day she kissed him
in a heartbroken farewell. For all she
knows he lies six feet deep in the
hastily dug trenches before Liege or
stark on the plains Of Charleroi. The
business which he built up in this
country with such cheerful pains is
rapidly going 10 ruin in the hands Of
an inexperienced and distracted rela-
