Paris and London by way OF Switzer-
land Before he left, though declining
to be quoted with any particularly on
the results OF his mission, Colonel
House said that he was very glad he
had come 10 Berlin, and added that the
conversations which he had had with
leading German statesmen and promi-
nent men in private life. and particu-
larly his conferences with Ambassador
Gerard, had been most profitable and
would undoubtedly lead 70 a clarifica-
ton Of German-American relations,
although it was to be doubted whether
any definite tangible developments
could be expected therefrom.

The Zeppelin

The zeppelin has wrought havoc during this war but
It has not been immune from punishment The great
arshps carrying crews of 20 to IS have conducted
their nocturnal raids enemy countries dropping
lives of men, and children Sometimes, having
left trail of death and smoking run they have moved
silently back through the night to their giant hangers
in the home land. But not always.
The chief raids have been conducted against England
and that country accordingly made most progress
devsing anti aircraft weapons the form OF guns and
airpane squadronS for defence These have been IN
creasingly successful combating the raiders until
seven zeppelins thereabout, have been put down.
The French office has invention directed
toward the destruction Of the zeppelin It IS long
needle carrying a very small she'll When the needle
pierces cloth any similar light substance 1t eplodes
and not until then If fired against brick wall It Is
said to be harmless.
The needles are 50 small that a quantity can be
carried on an airplane. They also be fired from
light gun and when they strike into zeppelin and
explode they also explode the gas contained IN the en-
Velope and so destroy the whole machine
Imagine what it must be like TO be Of zeppelin
crew. TO enter quarters of the great arshp at
the aerodrome as the night begins to gather to rise
through the darkness with a rush of wind along the
sides of the huge envelope; sail out high land
and sea until the enemy country IS reached; to peer
down through mile Of air at the twnkng blOtches Of
towns underneath drop the giant bombs and, after

Great BIitan's refusal understood to be based on

not forbid the refusal Of such passports the record OF
Teutonic diplomats fomenting hostile activities IN

such refusal
The British statement means, then, that although the
United States detected almost Immediately the Obec-
