NEW TYPE OF ZEPPELINS
SAFER FROM SHElLFIRE
German Officer Says They Would
Have No Difficulty Crossing
the Atlantic.

BERLIN, August 10. via London, Au-
gust 22-The principal improvement IN
the larger Zeppelins, in addition to their
greater carrying capacity. is their in-
creased proof against anti-aircraft she'll
fire, according to a naval officer who COM
manded a super-Zeppelin in a recent at
tack on points in England. The officer
said that measures taken by the British
to protect themselves have improved re-
Gently under more effective use Of
searchlights.
Objectives of air -raiding craft, the off,
Ger said. we're only military establish
ments, munitions works and camps. He
admitted that at the great elevations at
which the Zeppelins fly accurate aim is
difficult. but said experience was showing
that bombs generally reached their mark.
Six hundred pound bombs dropped on a
large foundry, the officer asserted. caused
the collapse of all the walls Of the build
ing. and fire bombs dropped at another
place set whole buildings afire. The Of
ficer declares that while flying at high
attitudes Zeppelins are difficult to combat.
especially those Of the new typo.
OF the possibility of a super-Zeppelin
said such a feat was entirely feasible
when atmospheric conditions were not
wholly unfavorable Under bad weather
conditions the craft would probably be
compelled to sail for a time with the
wind. The officer said the Zeppelins had
reached such a state OF perfection that
travelling in them was entirely safe.

Recalling matter for constituencies
seemingly, by trainloads today, despite
the soaring price of paper. when the
House of Representatives entered upon
a half-hour saturnalia of 1eave-to-print
speech permissions.
For nearly half an hour Speaker Clark
did nothing but repeat requests from
the floor asking for permission to Tex
tend remarks in the Record" In every
case the permission was granted
If the Congressional Record attempts
to incorporate the entire days work un-
der one volume the post office will have
to be enlarged. Probably the flow of
language created under todays magic
touch will reach close upon million
words and cover miles of paper.
Nearly all phases of the general po-
including some remarks by William
Jennings Bryan on deserving demo-
Gratis, inserted in the Record by a
loyal democrat. Representative Raker
of California, however, cast aside the
opportunity for spreading large
thoughts on the Record and merely
asked to DE allowed to extend his ideas

Investigating Accident.

District engineer and public utilities
commission officials are Investigating
the cause of the street car accident
last night, as a result of which plans
for raising the grade along 1st street
may be considerably expedited.
Ever since the building Of the tunnel
under 1st street to Union station
this thoroughfare has been gradually
settling, until the tracks of the street
railway company are said to be a foot
below grade in some places. This con
ditioa is thought to have been re
sponsible for a west-hound car jumping
the tracks at 1st and East Capitol
streets.
The District takes the position that
the street railway company should.
stand the cost of bringing tho tracks
up to grade as well as a two-foot strip
of the roadway on either side of the
tracks 1t also maintains that the cost
of bringing the rest of the street UP
to grade should be borne by the steam
railway companies using the tunnel

ALLIED EMBASSIES AROUSED.
Making Inquiries Into Black List
Provision in Ship Bill.

The so-called anti-blacklist provision
in the administration ship bill author
izine customs officials to withhold
clearance to any ship which refuses
American cargo, except for the reason
of being fully laden, has attracted the
attention of the allied embassies and
they are making inquiries which may
result in representations to the State
Department.
The provision was inserted in the
Senate at the last moment because of
the blacklisting of American firms and
penalties attached to ships which carry
bIacklisted cargo. The allied embas-
sizes may contend it violates treaty pro-
visions.

Communications Ignored.

According to officials of the engineer
department. all the steam roads but one
have ignored communications addressed
to them in regard to the matter, while
the street railway company has taken
the position that the street is still set
Ting and that the expense of raising
the grade should rot be assumed until
the settling has stopped. Otherwise.
it is pointed out. it would become nee
essary to do the work over.
District engineer officials are inveSti :
eating this point, and decision, it is
stated, probably Will be reached at an
early date.

Remedying of Conditions

HELD TO BE DISGRACE

Believed Settling of 1st Street North

Twenty Years.

That something should be done i'm
mediately to remedy the condition of
the surface of the roadway along 1st
street northeast where a street car
jumped the track last night resulting
in the injury of a number Of persons,
was the opinion expressed by senators
today who are familiar with the con-
dition of the street. The street surface
has sunk down many inches, due. 1t is
said, to the railroad tunnel which runs
under the street at this point.
This condition has prevailed to my
certain knowledge for more than three
years." said Senator Salisbury of Della
ware, a member of the Senate District
committee, today. "It is a disgrace to
the National Capital. Something should
be done about it Immediately. l do not
know who is responsible for the condi-
ten, but either the railroad company,
the street car company or the District
Commissioners should see to it that the
conditions are remedied."
