tary authorities regard Zeppelins In
the light of scouts. They are the
eyes of their army and fleet. the
bombing part of Zeppelin is only
a secondary matter. The accuracy
of an observation taken on a Zeppe-

periments in constructing gas-tght
fabrics for balloons at the Geneva
and Brussels Expeditions of the pre-
vious years came under the notice
OF NJ. Necker. the cousin of Count
Zeppelin. He informed the Count OF
the results. Zeppelin at once wired
for me to join him at Friedrichshav-
en- works on Lake Constance, where
he appointed me consulting engineer
and chief of the Department of the
aeronautical section of dirigibles. An
invention of mine, a gas-proof fab
rio. enabled Zeppelin to take his first
fight in July, 1900. II met with
scant success thru lack OF motive
mower. AT that time the develop
ment of internal combustion engines
was insufficient.
THE man who gave Zeppelin his
opportunity was the King OF
Wurtemburg. He gave him the
land for his factory and supplied him
with all the money he needed. The
popular belief that the Kaiser was
Zeppelins hacker is incorrect. VIII

inventions were perfected. Then

date in its appliances and organiza-
tions in the world.

FORMAL NOTE
To Be SENT
GERMANY
Britain" Says Lloyd George
"WiIl Not Put Her Head Into
A Moose for Germans"
6By United Press CnbIegram.)
LONDON, Dec. 10 Formal
note will be sent Germany by Eng
land within a few days.
CBy United Press Cablegram.)

tBy United Press Cablegram.)
LONDON, Dec. 19.-England
and the allies do not propose to
enter into peace negotiations with
out knowledge of Germany's pro-
posals. This was the decision an
nounced in the house of commons
by Premier David Lloyd-George.
Britain has endorsed every
word of Russia's and Frances
answer" the Premier declared.
We do not propose to put our
hSad into moose, with Germany
holding the end of the rope" the
premier declared.
The announcement was received
with cheers. Not since the tense
days when England was preparing
to wage war back in 1914-has
there been such crowd at par
lament as there was today.
The British premier announced
that formal note responding in
this way to the German peace pro-
posal would in few days be COM
pleted and be given to the Ameri-
can embassy for transmission to
Berlin.
Without reparation peace is i'm
possible" Lloyd George declared.
All the outrages on land and sea
cannot be liquidated by a few
pious phrases about humanity"
The premier compared Ger
many's peace proposal to a moose
wherein England and the allies
were asked to put their heads
while Germany held the loose end
of the rope.
The premier alluded to the ter
rible responsibility which he feit
as the chief advisor to the crown
in the most gigantic war in the
history of the world. He spoke
carefully in measured terms and
was accorded the most intense in
terest by his vast audience.
The answer to Germany's note
is that each of the allies have ar
rived independently at the same
identical conclusion and on behalf
of their governments I can give
clear and definite support to their
statements. Each reached the
same conclusions as the German
note was received"

CHAIRMAN
.5'QUEST|ON
DECIDED
New City Chairman Must be EIeC-
ted Says Committees Legal
Advisers Today.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL


INDIANAPOLIS. md Dec. 1e.-The
Republican state committee took the
bull by the horns" yesterday. and de-
cided on the method to be followed BY
the Republican city committees
throughout the. state in the election of
city chairrnen. There was so much
confusion over the question, because Of
Democratic primary election law pass
ca in 1915 that nobody seemed to know
Just how this was to be done, and II
was up TO the state committee to set
tie the question. Under the state law
the state committee of a political
party has authority 10 make rules for
for the government OF the party or
ganization in the state. and it was un-
der this law that the state committee
took the action II did in determining
the method of electing chairInen.
The Democratic nondescript primary
law abolished the old style of city
committee. and provided that the city
committee thereafter should consist Of
the county precinct committeeman of
precincts that lie wholly or in part
within. the limits of a city. This much
was plain enough. but when il came
10 providing how the city chairman
and other officers of the committee
should be chosen the law was as clear
as mud Many men read IL and in
4erpre4 ed dsit-differently- Some said the
old chairmen would hold over through
out the next city campaign. Others
said it meant that new chairmen had
to be elected. In some cities one in
terpretation was. accepted. while in
fta 1to 70
committee decided that it would set
LAWYERS at work and ascertain just
what the law meant. These lawyers
made thorough study of the law
and advised the state committee that
new city chairmen must be elected and
the city committee organized not less
than sixty days before the primaries.
The state committee issued a call,
yesterday afternoon, directing all
county chairmen in the state to in
struct all city chairmen who are now
holding over to issue a call not later
than January IS for a meeting of the
city committee on January 2. for the
purpose of eiecting chairmen and 9TH
er officers. The call provided that in
case the city chairman failed or refus-
ed Tor any reason TO issue the call for
rfe meeting it should be issued by the
N.Y. chairmen, and If the county
~ hen failed or refused to issue the
sail%he district chairman should issue
It. Thus provision is made for any
emergency.
or course, the order applies only to
Republican city committees. Nobody
seems TO know what the Democrats
:. III do. state Chairman Bernard Korb-
j. said a few days ago that he had
J t.s7sven the matter any thought and
did kAelxnow what would be done

co nittees.
