RECORD IS MADE BY
 CURTIS INSTRUCTOR
Flies 300 Miles, Carrying Passenger-In the Air
 4 1-2 Hours

Newport News, Va, April 1-GIenn H, Curtis announced today that Steve Me- Gordon of New York, instructor in the Curtis aviation school here, established new cross-country passenger carrying flight record today when he flew from Newport News to Washington and re- turn, a distance of 300 miles, in four and a half hours without stopping the engine The machine was in the air five hours and five minutes, but 8 minutes of that time, according to McGordon, was spent in altitude flights. NIcGordon was accom- panied by Lieut.. Vivian Hewett of the British Royal Navy service, here inspect ing machines for the British government. Until today the cross-country passenger carrying record was held by Lieutenant Dodd, U. s. A., who, on February IA, flew from San Diego Cal, to Burbank, Cal. a distance of 244.1S miles, with a pas senger. His time, according to MT. Cur tis was not as good as that made today by McGordon.
 McGordon left here at 1920 o'clock and returned at 3:17, but it was not until 3:25 that a landing was made. He says he arrived in Washington at 12:33 o'clock and started back after circling twice over the city.
 The machine in which the flight was made is a Curtis military tractor powered with q 160-horse power engine. It is similar to the machines sold to the Brit ish and Russian governments by the Curtis company.

RESCUED BY TRAWLER

Sheerness April 1.--Credit for rescuing the survivors of the Zeppelin L-15 be- longs to the scouting .trawler Olivine, commanded by Lieut. William R. MackInnes. royal naval reserve. but naval men freely concede that the credit for bringing the Zeppelin down belongs to one of the land batteries, which may be described as stationed in an eastern county
 The Zeppelin came down in the broad mouth of the Thames, soon after o'clock Saturday morning. That stretch of wa ter as well as the adjoining coast waters swarms with patrol craft. The airship's back had been broken by gunfire her gon- dolas were riddled with shrapnel bullets Several of her crew were badly wounded Her commander had sufficient confidence in the humanity of British sailors to send out wireless signals of distress.
 "She came down like a sick bird, flop ping at both ends, as if they were wings, said sailor who witnessed the descent of the Zeppelin.
 The sea was smooth and the night was clear, though dark, so the trawler was able to take aboard wounded as we'll as unwounded Some of the crew were at the top of the balloon. While the wounded

the general war situation which, ac- cording to information received, is now entering, or is about to enter, a phase which gives our country cause for very
 special vigilance. We do not know whether what our government appar- ently fears-but concerning the charac- l ter of which we could obtain no ex- i act information-will come to pass within week or month, or whether the situation generally will remain merely one or more critical charac- ter for our country. We venture only the conjecture that change in the sit uation, which is now considered pos- siple, may be the outcome of the all lies conference that closed Wednes- day at Paris
 We understood that in yesterdays cabinet council matters were discussed Which led to the consultation of the government with the highest military authorities and consideration of tha ad :, visibility of holding secret session of the second chamber"
 Berlin, April 1.--(via London, April a The new measures taken by Holland are not directed against any power in par- tlcular and neither Germany nor the entente powers have reason to be un- easy about them. They are dictated merely by prudence in view of the ap- parently increased possibility that HoI- land might eventually become involved l in the war and have no other purpose than to further the maintenance of the strictest neutrality.
 The foregoing is the substance of ih- i formation received by Baron Gevers. the
 Dutch minister to Germany, this morning With instructions to communicate 1t to the German foreign office. The baron went immediately to the foreign office upon receipt of his instructions The Dutch minister emphasized the fact that the measures were only dictated by pru- 1 dence and indicated no intention on the part of Holland to change its course. Private advices reaching here from Holland connect the new measures direct ly with the discussions at the Paris con- ference of the entente allies regarding their future economic attitude toward Holland.
 The Associated Press learns that the new situation indicated by Hollands in- creased watchfulness is regarded, not only without uneasiness, but even with a certain degree of satisfaction in official German circles.

Her ends stuck up in the air while the middle section was we'll down in the water. After making about two miles the Zep- pelin became entirely waterlogged. The Olivine is engaged in patrol duty and Lieutenant Machines transferred the prisoners to destroyer and again put out to sea.

To Whom It May |Concern:

William D. Wade who is a candidate 1 for membership on the Board of Reve- Inue for Jefferson County, is thoroughly honest and the best road builder have Iemployed. His long experience in high way and bridge construction renders him most suitable person to occupy a place on this board. Some engineers may know the theory or road building better than Wade, but have met no one who knows the practical end of the work quite so well.
 MT. Wade has made success of his business by the intelligent and frugal manner in which he has managed the same and I feel justified, from my long acquaintance with him, in saying that he will put forward the same good sense in the management of the affairs of the county if he is elected.

ULTIMATUM REPORTED

Berlin, April 1.-(Via Copenhagen and London. )-The German newspapers give much space to reports concerning an alleged ultimatum by the Entente allies to Holland, and the sharpening by the latter of her mobilization measures.
 The press generally points out, how ever, that all the reports apparently are based on rumors and assert that Germany has no cause to view the sit- uation with the slightest uneasiness.

report says both houses of Parliament have been summoned.
 The dispatches do not disclose the cause of the feeling of insecurity but it presumably is connected with the sinking of Dutch steamships and the consequent interference with trade be- tween Holland and her colonies
 Photographic communication between England and Holland is still inter- rupted. Delayed dispatches yesterday came by mail. Several days may elapse before wire communication is restored.

SAW DISABLED ZEPPELIN

A pilot who returned today from a steamship which he guided out, says he
 saw disabled Zeppelin. He asserts the airship was broken in half and had a large dent in the stern He estimated it's length at more than 700 feet. | A correspondent who saw a fight be- tween a Zeppelin and British gunners writes:
 "All lights were put out in the streets and all places of entertainment were closed It was a calm, clear and peaceful night, and the half frozen powerful searchlights which were turned to the sky presented fine sight.
 Presently the booming of guns brought hundreds of persons into the streets. Just pick up Zeppelin. The crowd loudly applauded the work of the gunners and became very enthusiastic when one shell seemed to burst right under the airship 1 The last I saw was cloud of smoke which seemed to be discharged from the Zeppelin. Behind this cloud the raider isappeared."
 The correspondent adds that motor busses and street cars were running as usual during the fight. No event since the outbreak of the war has been received in London with greater satisfaction than the destruction of the Zeppelin. There was great enthusiasm in the streets when the newsboys broke the news to the public. The crew of the destroyed Zeppelin was taken to Chat ham,
 When the patrol boat approached the Zeppelin an explosion occurred, it is thought, in the motor room. The airship shortly afterwards crumpled.' In addition to the IT unwounded prison
 CTS there were others captured who were
 suffering from injuries.

The destroyer brought the Germans to Sheerness to report and proceeded with the prisoners to Chatham, where the wounded were placed in a hospital.

THRILLING ENCOUNTER


 come down and up to that time the public believed they had escaped.
 THRILLING ENCOUNTER An eyewitness of a Zeppelin in flight and it's encounter with anti-aircraft guns describes the scene as a most thrilling one. Time Zeppelin, which appeared to be of larger type than that of previous visitors, flew at considerable height. The glitter of it's surface as it passed overhead attracted the attention of hun dreds who came out-of-doors to gaze up- ward
 The searchlights illuminated the raider effectively and shells from the guns could be seen bursting all round it. One gun- ner claimed that he had secured hit, the Zeppelin thereupon being seen to turn about and proceed towards the coast ap- parently damaged.
 Dispatches from points on the south- east, the east and the northeast coasts and in the eastern counties indicate that last nights Zeppelin raid or raids-for there were apparently separate ventures north and south--were the most extensive yet undertaken. The Zeppelins remained a1oft at much greater heights than during pre- vious visits and consequently very few persons sa wthem except when they were picked out by the British search lights. Their great height also had the effect of preventing the accurate selec- tion of their targets and their bombs dropped indiscriminately. Some places were passed over without being at tackled, while in other instances num- Der of bombs fell within a radius of ,, a couple of hundred yards. Information at hand indicates that the damage was chiefly in the smaller towns. sA s| The Zeppelins first made their pres ence known by dropping bombs short ly after 3 o'clock and at some points the aerial bombardment was still pro- ceeding at 1:30 o'clock this morning.
 The identity of the wrecked Zep- pelin and other details of the raid were disclosed in the following official statement:
