The Zeppelin. Lac, which came
down at Bourbonne Les Bains, France,
last Sunday, was found to be intact.
as were also the machines instlu-
ments. This is the first time during
the war that a Zeppelin has been
brought down complete and an oppor-
tunity was given to a number of AM
erican officers to inspect the craft.
They, together with French 1ying
men, spent many hours in gaining
knowledge that heretofore has been
jealousy guarded by the Germans.
The machine was driven down with
her nose resting on the edge of the
main road and the stern in the pine
trees on hill. The aviator who was
responsible for the landing of the air
ship came down so quickly himself
that the Germans had no opportunity
to do damage.
When the commander saw that it
was impossible to save his ship he
destroyed the wireless apparatus and
unsucecssfully attempted to destroy
The airship by firing his pistol at it.
The whole body of the Zeppelin is
painted black except on top, which is
silvered. There is small German
cross on either side amidships. 1t

The two officers and nineteen men

intervals to make rules for interna
tional law.
May say in conclusion that an un
scapable issue cohfronts the Ameti
n people and the world. Half way
measures will no longer avail. AS ex
President Roosevelt has said, the
choice is Utopia Or Hell. If an incon.
elusive peace is made, if the autoctacy
that brought on this war is left ir
power, if the idea Of league to en-
force peace is abandoned, then the he
roes whose clay reddens Europe's soil
will have died in vain, and the whole
world will lapse back to the former
lays Of intrigue, mutual suspicion,
colossal ornaments and international
anarchy, waiting only breathing
spell for the inevitable confagration
that will burst out again"
In an address before the Southern
Commercial congress in New York,
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, said:
"One of the affirmations of the
Southern Commercial congress pro-
nounces for the development of the
rivers and harbors of the country.
Zone of the things we stand for is
increased transportation facilities to,
the end that commerce may be I'M
hindered. New York is recognized as
the chief commercial city of the Unit
ed States. This port has ranked first
in the western hemisphere in foreign
trade. That was true even when our
products and commodities were car
ried by our competitors overseas.
eve propose now to have an Amer
lean merchant marine, flying our flag
carrying our goods to the ports of
Christefldom and bringing to US the
products Of other countries to supply
our needs. ="

HAROLD BAUER
 TO BE HEARD
 MONDAY NIGHT

A pianist of personality is Harold Bauer who will appear before a Phoe nix audience on Monday night in a program that will measure this artist with the best of this country. In his music is a delightful sympathetic re- vealment as he enters deeply into its spirit. being one of the boldest explor- CTS and eXperimenters in the field of pianoforte playing.
 Hearing MT. Bauer in his novel pro- gram of Famous Composers of By Gone Times" one is tempted to ask if there has been any marked progress in writing for the piano in truly mu- sicaI manner since the 18th century. His performance is one of devotion and masterly skill in the portrayal of sentiment, beauty of mood, tenderness, simplicity and grandeur of style in the various works he displays.
 Phoenix musicians may be certain that they will be splendidly entertained by MT. Bauer whose tours of the coun- try have given him a definite place among the masters of the piano.

The only paid office is that of a secretary, and the salary here is for only a few months each year.
