Zeppelins $50 Feet Long

The Germans have just completed
and placed in a huge shed at Darn
stadt, ten Zeppelins of $50 feet in
length with a gas capacity of l9O.675
cubic feet. In the hull is provision
for machine guns and for light pieces
of ordnance. The newest Zeppelins
are said to have four armor-plated
cars, of which the first is the heav-
lest. All the cars are fitted with guns.
Armor-plated gang-ways connect the
cars. The engines indicate 1000
horsepower, and the speed is fifty
seven miles and hour. These ships
can reach a height of more than 10
600 feet.

The Great Change in the War

The last days Of the second year q
the world conflict saw a momentus
change. For the first time the initia-
tive on all fronts passed to the enc
mics Of the Central Powers. In the
East, the West, and the South, Ger
man and Austrian troops stood on the
defensive, outnumbered and sensibly
reeoiling under furious assaults OF
Russian, Italian, British and French
troops. Even in the Balkans formid-
able Allied commandments seemed to
forecast an attack upon Bulgaria and
Salonica. Nowhere save about Yer
dun, now without importance, did the
Germans take the lead and here the
results were immaterial, as they were
inconsideral.
Notices. significant was the fact that at
last the great British army showed it.
self ready for the operation which had
long been expected of it and twice, at
Neuve Chapelle and Loos, demanded
OF it in vain. These lines are written
too soon after the opening of the Brit
ish attack to warrant any estimate OF
the fighting quality the new armies
have displayed, but after nearly three
weeks they are still going forward
and the blunders of Loos and Neuve
Chapelle have not been repeated.
Looking backward we see now the
whole great war drama unfolded in
three acts: The German effort to dis
pose of France, which ended in the
failure at the Marine and the stalemate
in Flanders; the German effort to dis
pose of Russia, which terminated in
the Pinsk Marshes and terminated in
failure; the German effort to exhaust
France, morally as well as physically,
which came to naught in April, when
the French were able to repulse the
most desperate Of the German as
.saults upon the Meuse lines and there
after TO hold them to a struggle with
out importance or issue.
Three times Germany, surrounded
by enemies richer in men, in money,
in all material resources, and having
absolute control of the sea, strove to
break the circle of fire about her and
dispose Of one of her foes, as Ma
.pOleon disposed of Austria at Austen
litz, Prussia at Jena, and Russia at
Friedland in the first and fortunate
phase Of his great career as Empe-
ror. Three times she failed. Under
her blows France and Russia stagger-
ed, but did not fall. Meantime there
was left TO Britain the time to make
her new armies, to arm her millions
and put them on the firing line. They

The nations of Europe have increased their national

IN three weeks every Dig league
ball team will be in its 1916 spring
training camp and we will get rest
from the political dope of the game.
With the athletes cavorting under
warming sun there is little room for
the hot stove discussion. When real
news can be had of the men who real
1y make the game, nothing else is
just as good.
Speculation this early as to the
strength of different teams is idle.
Changes have been made which
should bring radical differences in the
playing strength of various clubs.
Men with the Federal league in
1915 have rejoined organized clubs
and their acquisition causes the I'M
certainty. No one can tell what the
Cubs will do, where the st. Louis
Browns will go or how the Yankees
will stand up with Frank Baker at
third base.
This year it will be an even more
open scramble than in 1916, and the
best indication of this is the fact that
the Philadelphia Nationals are not be-
ing picked to repeat in their league.
And the Red Sox are not getting any
very heavy backing, owing to the
changes that have occurred in other
clubs
Except for the signing of few mi
NOR leaguers, President Comiskey of
the White Sox is standing pat on the
lineup that went through the 1915
season, and he is one of the very few
big league owners who feels satisfied
that his last years aggregation is
satisfactory. The 1916 Sox will have
the advantage in teamwork that play
ing together last year gave and
should do better throughout the year.
The Federal league will be inferred
at a meeting here next week, the OBJ
sequies being postponed because Phil

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Con

of victory. We meet to celebrate

power and to place milestone
upon the path of its future success
THE republican party for years
deceived the country. Now it is de-
ceiving itself. In its platform it of
fers pulchritudinous promise - but
with vacuous intent.
1T promises the country in the
main what the democratic party has
already done or is in the process Of
doing, saving always, the bogus god

lQulJy WIFI JuulCldl Iope, DuI IhS
cloven hoof of special interest still

1--WE have recently witnessed the
spectacle of two great American par
ties at Chicago putting self-glorifica-
tion in place of national honor; re-
publicanism and progressivism, So
called, in place of our only ism
Americanism.
1--WE have witnessed the drab spec
tacle of two groups of men treading
principles like competitors in fish

promise would win public support.
They have not come together-they
have fallen out of the 'swag The
result is inevitable - divided they
fall We are proud in the thought
that united we stand We welcome
the pent-up Americanism of the real
progressives individually to our ranks,
Offering them haven, in principle.
Their leaders have abandoned them.
"This is a crucial hour in the his
tory of the world, an hour when
everyone should see whether his con-
science squares with the periods of
dramatic episode when this country
resoutely maintained peace with
honor.
"The democratic party, in the face
of vicious attacks, has maintained
this great American ideal. While
for peace, it has worked for sound
and powerful preparedness. 1t has
maintained dignity in the face OF cir
cumstances which might have drawn
it into the vortex of world destruc-
ton. 1t has maintained friendly re-
lations throughout the world; it has
been true to the spirit of America.
The country has found that it's con-
fidence has been we'll bestowed. The
democratic party has proved itself
a party of principle, party OF con-

can be realized. United we stand

Coliseum, ST. Louis, Mo-, June IA.
With the keynote Of "Americanism,
Peace, Preparedness and Prosperity
the democratic national convention
began its first session at 1881 today
with not single element to disturb
the harmonious denomination of Will
son and Marshall.
All prospects of fight in the con-
venton went glimmering with Bry-
ans announcement that he would not
press certain planks and would stump
for Wilson. Prolonged cheers greet
ed Bryan's entry into the hall.
The first stunt of the convention
was put on by the Texas delegates,
who tossed miniature bales of cotton
from the floor to the galleries.
Chairman McCombs delivered his
brief opening speech, followed by
Rev. Lee offering prayer.
After the call for the convention,
McCombs announced the temporary
officers and Martin H. Glynn opened
with the keynote speech. He was
given an immense ovation as he
stepped forward to speak.
The convention adjourned at 2:49
until II tomorrow.
Expressions of approval were heard
today among the delegates to the
convention of the suggested plan to
win over the progressives by making
overtures in the democratic platform.
Frank p. Walsh, former chairman
of the federal industrial relations
commission, submitted a proposed in
dustrial plank today denouncing the
use of militia against organized
workers. The plank also declared
the rights of labor unions to organ
ize.
Forty minutes before noon, the
time scheduled to call the conven-
ton to order, there were only a score
of delegates on the floor, the plat
form was almost deserted, the gal
leries were filling slowly and carpen-
ters were putting the finishing touch
es on the hall.
Chairs for the delegates and alter
mates were jammed together, the
seating arrangements for both of
them being much more congested
than either of the Chicago conven-
tions.
The hall filed rapidly just before
noon. Delay in opening the doors
Srevented an earlier influx of spec
tafSrs. The crowds were not allow
ed to march into the building, but
a few delegations came en- masse.
Moving picture machines were plant
ed at every available point. Many
of the delegates soon removed their
coats.
At Has the band began playing
the opening selection in accompani-
ment to a male quartet that sang
new song about Americans through
Tegaphones. The song brought the
FIRST applause of the day. The dele

airs and "Dixie" which brought the

was orderly and quiet as 1t awaited

at the desk at 1890. half an hour
late, amid cheers and applause. A
few thumps of his gavel quickly Sc
cured order.
