The London crowd which gapes
cheerfully at the army airship maneu-
vering over the city always asks itself
whether II is looking at friendly YES
sci or a Zeppelin. 1t is apparently
ignorant of the difference of design,
and so free from nerves" that the
doubt does not disturb it. Probably
II Zeppelin really did come the av,
erage Londoner would crowd up for a
good place to see the bomb dropping
The instinct for front seat seems to
be stronger than that of self-preserva,
ton. The Schutte-Lanz airship is not
unlike an ordinary nonrigid airship in
the shape of the balloon. 1t is not
cylindrical. but whale shaped, like a
submarine. But in construction it is
like Zeppelin, with a rigid aluminium
framework. 1t is evidently considered
successful type, for Germany has
been building as many of the Schultz
LAM type as of the Zeppelin. The
name is compound of the names of
designer and builder. The inventor
was Schultz, and LAM is the name of
the firm that constructs them.

FOUGHT TO DEATH OVER PIG

Even pigs figure sometimes in the

expected, in somewhst of a comical
light. But, says Paris dispatch, they

both French and Germans from their
trenches s9iad out fine fat porker in
pen, just between the two lines. Both
formed parties to go out and capture
the porcine delicacy, but the French
reached there first. They fastened a
rope about the animals hind legs and
dragged him back to their trenches
with the Germans close behind
So heated did the controversy over
the pig become that 1t finally de-
veloped into a night battle in which
the Germans were beaten, losing, be-
sides the 30 dead. a number of
wounded
The other pig had just been killed
by farmer in Flanders when 1t was
reported that the Germans, always
eager for such titbits as fresh pork,
