He put them on and the Judge said
to him:

ginning OF the war. Queen Alexan-
dra of England and Empress Marie
of Russia took photographs Of the
Hansa and Of Count Zeppelin, her
pilot. AZ the ship passed over their
royal yachts At that time German
newspapers pointed out how much
easier would be the voyage to Eng
lond, and the Lokal Anseiger wrote:
"Many IN offioew Of the British

Very soon after that the people OF
Sheerness heard for the ffI'st time a
sound that later was to send them in
terror to their cellars-the throb Of
q Zeppelin engine. It was officially
denied that the LII, which was max
ing her trial trip that night Of
November IS, 1912, passed over any
part Of the English coast. but no other
airship ever could be found to have
been up that night. and In England

Of ball cartridges from a machine

in a forty-f1ve mile an hour gale.
Again the mercurial quality Of the
airship's development was shown. for
only few days later the z-1 was
wrecked in trying to land.
Wanted to Sail to Amefica.
When the war broke out and the
Count saw the approach Of der tag. !"
when his airships would strike
terror into the hearts Of the tight little
island, he requested that he be re-
instated in the aerial service of the
German army, from which he had re-
tired because OF his age. He made q
direct appeal to the Kaiser.
Soon afterward began tho series Of
air raids, on England, first on Var
mouth, Kings Lynn. Blyth and other
outlying towns. later on the suburbs
and finally on the very heart of Lon
don The first raid was on January
10, 1915, and the total in killed and
injured has been probably nearly a
Thousand.
Count Zeppelin was not satisfied.
however. In April, 1915, he gathered
all his engineers and airship cap
tains. He complained that longer
raids were not made and criticised the
pilots for lack Of hardihood in not
venturing forth In blustery weather
and for retreating sometimes from
hostile airmen.
Just before that the redoubtable
Count gave an interview indicating
~ - ~IA ySSn
mind about the practicability Of a
transa tlantic fight.
II have always hoped to be the
first to pilot an airship across the

that to do so would be the browning

with his giant machine under perfect
control during the entire time. He
carried twelve persons with him In
two depending cars fore and aft.
Success had come. 1t kept on COM
ing. For almost two years the count
continued experimenting with his
latest airship, constantly making Inn
provements and in virtue of these
constantly longer flights. The Ger
man government then agreed to pur-
chase the counts ship for $500. 200 II
he could make a continuous flight Of
twenty -four hours.
With this substantial encourage
ment Zeppelin began to make longer
and longer ventures in the heavens.
In. June. 1905, he stayed up six and
three-quarter hours. and in the fol-
lowing August he attempted q trip
from Constance to Frankfort, but
here again sudden disaster over
whelmed him. His balloon took fire
in thunderstorm near Stuttgart and
was completely destroyed.
This time, however. the count was
not to suffer. The whole Of the Ger
man nation, its heart touched and its
imagination fired by the indomitable
will Of the old inventor. rallied to his
help. The government made him q
special grant Of $125.0o0. and by pri-
vate subscription free gift of $780,
900 was made to him. Count Zeppelin
started immediately upon the con-
structton of his Zeppelin II.
It was In May. 1909, that Zeppelin
won his final triumph with his new
ship. He flew for 900 miles. and all
of Berlin, including the enthusiastic
kaiser, awaited to see him land in tho
parade grounds there, but the invent
or disappointed Berlin, and his ship
was slightly damaged on the voyage
home by coming in contact with a
small tree in landing at Goeppingen
to escape q storm. The count and his
crew OF nine men repaired the dam
ages on the spot and brought the l,ig
sky craft back safely to its shed in
F'riedrichshafen.
The Victoria Luise was the first
Zeppelin ever to ny over the sea, when
on June ~. 1912. it took twelve pas
sengers from Hamburg over Helgo-
land and Norderney and back to
Wilhelmshaven, the great German
naval base. Soon afterward, however,
the Schwaben. on which Count Zeppe-
lin took his royal party, was wrecked
py gas explosion ana thtrty-tour
soldiers were injured.
First Military Cruiser.
Count Zeppelin made OF the zeppe-
lin III. the first Of those military
cruisers OF the air which were to drop
bombs on London when the great war
brought to the old Count der tag
for which he had been preparing Is
earnestly as had the German army
and navy. The ship was fitted with
bomb throwing tubes and an OBSERVE
ton turret on top Of the frame for q
machine gun, which was especially
constructed for a minimum recoil.
Another Zeppelin. the Hansa,
visited Copenhagen unexpectedly ana
lowered over the British wArships Of
the first cruiser squadron while many
visitors were aboard. That was al
most exactly two years before The -
