Life Work Called Failure.

The failure of his airships to ter
rorize England and bring the war to
a speedy end and their apparent aban-
donment by the German general staff
in the consideration of military meas
ures is believed to have been a con-
tributing factor in the death Of Count
Won Zeppelin. For several months,
as Zeppelin raids against England
have become less and less frequent
and British aviators have brought
down more and more airships with
every attack, reports have filtered
through from Germany that Count
Won Zeppelin's health was failing
through disappointment
Within the last month, following
the disastrous raid over the midland
counties of England, in which two
airships were brought down in flames,
the German government has practi-
cally admitted that the Zeppelin has
been a failure, and reports have
come from Berlin that the giant air.
ships are no longer regarded as hav-
ing military value.
For forty years Count Won Zeppe-
lin labored, driven by the belief that
he was destined to build an engine
of destruction that would nullify the
KTe6I 6ukl6n hctI AOo0
the Germans to mastery Of the world
through mastery of the air.
A Favorite of Kaiser.
Those forty years have seen him
elevated from the position of a harm
less crank in the grip of a vision to
the top rank of the roll Of German
heroes; they have seen him petted by
the Kaiser, q court favorite, and
characterized by the monarch as "the
greatest German, 'and they have
seen him, an old, old man standing
helplessly by while military lords
branded his life work as failure.
Ferdinand von-Zeppelin was born
in 1885, the son of Q small Wurttem-
berg court official in Constance on
the shore of the lake Of that name.
where all OF his experiments were
later carried out.
He received a military training and
he entered the army as a lieutenant
of cavalry at the age of twenty-five.
In 1858 he was detached from the
Wurttemberg service as military
observer to follow the armies of the
American Union in the civil war.
Once, st the battle of Fredericks-
burg, only a sudden dash on horse
back saved Zeppelin from being cap
tured by the Confederates.
His first ascent in a balloon occurred
when he received permission to go up
in the basket of an observation bal
loon that reconnoitered the Confed-
crate position before a battle.
Zeppelin returned to Germany in
1858. just in time to serve with the
German armies in the short and sharp
3 campaign against Austria. but it was
at the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-
sian war that he first distinguished
himself.

germany BACKS KAISER
IN ALL HIS WAR PLANS
No Peace in Sight Declares Speaker in
Press Club Address.

The defeat of Germany this year is
not to be expected, Raymond E. Swing,
war correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News, told a large audience at
the National Press Club last night.
Further. he said, there is no Certainty
that the Teutons will be beaten next
year.
The writer has spent considerable
time in Germany and is familiar with
inside conditions in the Kaiser's coun-
try.
Plans for trebling the munition
works and -conscripting 100000 more
workers, thus enrolling the entire ma
tion in more intensive work, were ma
terializing when he left Germany, Mr..
Swing said.
Preparations included plans for
doubling the capacity of the Krupp
works, he said. The people are re-
spending willingly to conscription, he
declared, and all classes are standing
for the time being against the COM
mon enemy.
Mr.. Swing also described the widen
ing power of the Reichstag and the
hopes Of the people as against the
"Junkers," for a fair and reasonable
peace.
The speaker was introduced by
Theodore Tiller, president of the club.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION
LESS in LAST Is YEARS
Geographic Society Complies Statistics
of Aliens in u. S.


Less than 100000 former subjects OF
the Kaiser have been in the United
States more than twenty-six years, says
bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic Society last night
During the last quarter of a century,
the bulletin states. there has been
startling falling-off in the percentage of
Germans in the total number Of immi-
grants who have come to our shores.
With more than 10000 immigrant ar
rivals since 1890, only L.023,OoO have been
Germans, whereas in the Ia years be-
tween the establishment of the American
republic and 1890 out of a total of 1861
900 immigrants, there were 5.l2S.Ooo Ger
mans-every third arrival Teuton.
''If from the los, 900 who have come to
America since 1890, the period of greatest
Influx of foreigners, proper DEDUCTION
Is made for those who have died since
their arrival and those who have re-
turned to their homeland. It will be seen
that there are fewer than a million
former subjects of the Kaiser in this
country who have not been here more
than twenty-six years"
Conditions have played some curious
pranks in the distribution of the immi-
grant population in the United States"
the bulletin continued. More than two
thirds Of the Germans live between the
Hudson and the Mississippi and north OF
the Ohio. Thirty per cent of the Ger
mans live in the States of New York.
PENNSYLVANIA and New Jersey"
An examination Of the available sta
tIstics by the society shows that nearly
nineteen-twentieths Of the foreign-born
population in the United States comes
from the warning European countries.

ON ESPIONAGE MEASURE
Only Moderate Interest in Bill Shown
BY Representatives..

Increasing opposition to the censor
ship provisions OF the administrations
espionage bill has won the first stage Of
the fight against the "throttling OF the
press" provisions OF that measure.
The bill was taken UP in the House
yesterday, greatly modified as to the CEN
sorship provisions
Chairman Webb. OF the House Com
rnittee on the judiciary, which reported
the bill favorably, opened the debate yes
terday with an invitation to newspaper
editors of the country to comment freely
upon the measure.
The espionage bill has so far failed to
arouse any interest in the House. The
censorship provisions Of the bill alone
are not being given any serious con-
sideration.
Among the provisions which already
have been discussed at some length and
which seem likely to be adopted by the
House is a section which forbids the
use Of the mail to propagandists of an
archical or other extremely radical anti
