GERMANS Have
LARGE FLEET OF
new ZEPPELINS

Berne, Switzerland, via Paris, Feb.
Slightly Zeppelins are now in the
German service, it appears from in
formation developed at Friedrichsha-
fen. where's the Zeppelin works are To-
Gated. One Of the latest type that is
having a trial trip this week is the
LZ-95, which is taken here to mean
that it is the 95th in the series dat
ing from the beginning of the war,
fifteen having been lost, it is said.
The newest model seems consider
ably longer than previous types. 1t
is of fish-like shape and gray tinted,
by the means of aluminium powder,
it is explained. The gondolas are of
plated steel. Each has six machine
guns in it's quick fire battery and ap-
paratus for throwing bombs and air
torpedoes. 1t is reported that new
air torpedo more powerful than any
previously used is about to be given
a trial.
The motor works connected with the
Zeppelin plant test each motor by
requiring that it run 48 hours with
out stopping and without developing
defects.

LIFE In TRENCHES
NOT UNHEALTHY

Paris, Feb. 9.--Life in the trenches
is healthier for the French soldiers
now than in barracks during peace
times, as shown by the official figures
issued by the army medical depart
ment. The cases of measles, scarlet IA.
munps, diphtheria and cerebrts-sp gra@
meningitis were more numerous IN tie
army during the year 1911 than in 1915.
These diseases, together with typhoid
and dysentery averaged I'll per
thousand men in 1911, as compared
with 500 per thousand men last year.
Although the total was lower, typh-
old and dysentery were more prevail
Ient.
Typhoid cases last year numbered
4.4 per thousand as compared with
10. SS in 1911. Dysentery, formerly the
deadly enemy of armies in the field, at
tackled only eighteen men out of 100,-
600, as compared with eleven in 1000
before the war.
The mortality was twelve for each
one. hundred cases of typhoid in 1911;
in the field the mortality was 2.55 per
cent, owing to improved methods of
treatment.

BOLD PLOTS
AGAINST j. s.
NEUTRALITY

Washington, Feb. 9.-Several weeks
investigation by agents of the depart
ment of justice resulted in the voting
of indictments yesterday by q federal
grand jury in San Francisco against
prominent figures in what are con-
sidered here to be two of the boldest
plots involving questions of American
neutrality that have been uncovered
since the European war began.
Among those against whom indict-
ments were voted, according to mes
sage received here, are Franz Bopp,
German consul general; Baron E. II.
Won Setback, vice consul of Germany,
and Maurice Hall, the Turkish con-
sui general.
Consular officers do not enjoy the
diplomatic immunities which ambas-
sadors, ministers and attaches are
given by the international law, but
are subject to the jurisdiction of the
countryin which they are residents and
may be treated by the law as are any
other persons.
The indictments voted, however, are
the first which the American govern
ment has attempted to secure against
anv foreign representatives. This fact
was taken to mean that hereafter the
administration means to prosecute
wherever prosecution will lie against
any offender of American neutraleity.
Bonn and Won Setback are charged
with completely in the plot which
was first uncovered several weeks ago
with the arrest of c. c. Crowley,
alleged to be a pro-German agent who
had undertaken to cripple the Ameri-
can output of munitions of war and in
other ways to help the cause of the
Teutonic allies. Bopp is accused OF
being the head of conspiracy which
hoped to accomplish this end by in
