Germany Hurrying Up
Airplane Building to
Meet u. S. Air Plans

GENEVA. July 20.-Reliable re-
ports from Romanshorp say that air
planes OF the latest models manufac-
tured at the Zeppelin factory at
Friedrichshafen daily are to be seen
flying over Lake Contance.
The reports add that the cessation
of the manufacture Of Zeppelins was
due TO the fact that German head
quarters become convinced that Yep
pelins were OF little war value and
that supremacy in the air in the tu-
ture belonged TO airplanes. The Ger
mans also are said to fear an extern
sive American aerial program and
that therefore counter aerial prepara-
rons have been started by them. II
is stated that the workmen in all Yep
pclin factories in Germany have been
dou' ed in number and that the air
ships on hand have been removed to
unused sheds.

boat owners would stop to think that
the absence of this license from their
boats will be sufficient for patrol
boats to tie them up, which would
put them to lot of trouble and in
convenience, they would not waste
any time in applying for same.
No matter how small or large
boats are, if they are propelled by
sail or machinery and navigate the
waters of the United States, they
must be registered and licensed; from
skiffs with detachable motors to
ocean going liners.
The Navy Department does not
wish to put boat owners to any incon-
venience, so those not having as yet
secured license are again advised to
make application for same immedi-
ately.
The Licensing Office at 213 God
chaux Building, New Orleans, La,
will be glad to furnish application
cards upon request. These cards,
if properly filled in, give sufficient
information for the licensing of
boats.

TANTLY KILLED BY
TRAIN
No. I Strikes Itinerant While
Asleep On Cemetary Cros-

Bell Pelcky, young white man
OF twenty-seven years, formerly en-
ployed in the coal mines of Marvel,
Ala, was struck and Instantly killed
by Southern Pacific Train No. Z at
$3.50 P. NJ, Sunday, near the Gene
terry Crossing
Dressed in light gray summer suit
and wearing a soft SLOUGH hat that
bore the name of Kentucky hab-
erdasher, Pelcky appears to have
been one of the better class of It'll
nerary workmen, although he had ap-
parently been without funds for sew
eral days, as his light beard, his
empty purse, and his actions preci-
pitating his death show.
At the moment of the accident, he
was asleep on the side of the rail
road track, near the Morgan City
Cemetery Crossing. Pedestrians
noticed him earlier in the afternoon,
but had refrained from awakening
him, as he was apparently several
inches from the danger zone. The
train crew of No. Z, approaching
Morgan City from the East, also saw
him and stopped the train, but not
until it was too late to avoid strik-
ing him in the head and causing in
slant death.
Dr.. DeGravelles, city physician,
was notified and, after thorough
examination of the dead mans body
and effects, summoned the city un-
dertakers and reported the accident
to DR.. B. w. Smith, of Franklin,
Parish Coroner.
The deceased's pockets contained
