ZEPPELINS FOR U. S. ARMY.
New Ordnance and Aircraft to Be
Built For Both Branches Of Service.

New Ordnance and Aircraft to Be
Built For Both Branches Of Service.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Ordnance and
air craft innovations designed from
lines developed by; European belliger-
ents have been authorized by both war
and navy departments.
They include Zeppelin type airships,
large caliber mobile rifles and howit-
zers to be mounted on railroad trucks
for the coast defense or hauled by
tractor engines over country roads
Secretary Daniels announced today
that one Zeppelin would be constructed
at once. Determination to build the
craft was reached after an exhaustive
study of rigid airships by officers rep
resenting the aeronautical branches OF
both services, the general staff of the
army and the general board Of the
navy, which recommended that con
struction be undertaken at once.
The recommendations have been ap-
proved by Secretaries Daniels and Ba-
ker and the cost will be divided be-
tween the army and navy.
Army ordnance plants are already
building at the Waterviiet arsenal, New
York, pilot guns Of the 16 and IL inch
howitzer type. Plans are practically
{ completed also for a IA inch high pow
cred rifle with carriages for mounting
n railroad trucks.

Address of Ambassador
Interpreted to Indicate
Change of Sentiment.
PRESS ASSUMES HE
SPEAKS FOR NATION
Leading Financial Organ Processes to
See in Speech Better Understanding
Of German Position in War-Efforts
at Peace Welcomed Unless Backed
by Personal Interest and Necessity
of United States.

Berlin, via London, Jan. 9. - The
Boersen Zeituns, Berlin's leading
financial organ, seized upon the dinner
given to Ambassador Gerard by the
American Association of Commerce
and Trade as an opportunity to dis
cuss peace again. 1t declares that the
banquet had unusual Importance anc
expresses almost enthusiasm at the
cordial relations existing between the
United States and Germany as it finds
them in the expressions OF the
speakers.
The Saturday evening paper declares
that Germany will welcome every sup
port America will lend to the peace
movement, so long as it does not at
ton of peace worthy Of Germany and
the efforts Of her lighters
The paper says it is natural that
Germany now looks differently upon an
America which has recovered from
what may be termed it's carouse to an
sympathetic understanding Of her stu
alton"
The paper warns Americans, how
ever, that they must not expect the
Germans to be grateful for peace
which America inspires from her own
needs and selfish motives.
Gerard's Speech Laudde.
The paper refers to Ambassador
Gerard's speech as follows:
I'VE have always insisted that good
relations between Germany and Amer
lea were important. Ambassador Ger
ards words at the present moment be-
token that the leading circles in Amer
lea understand our situation, that they
do not ascribe the guilt for the war to
US, and that they are seeking to
hasten the end 1t would be foolish to
give the speech more Importance than
i: has in view Of the fact that our
enemies have been able to draw part
of their strength from America during
the conflict, but it would be unworthy
Of us to assume no more than a cody
critical attitude OF reserve toward the
changed and more favorable attitude
Of the United States"

DEAD GIRLS BROTHER
CONDUCTS INQUIRY
Declares He Has Discovered New Evi-
dence and Believes Lewis Was Not
Slayer-Evidence Against Dead Man
Is Shaken.

Philadelphia Jan. 9.-District Attor-
ney Rotan today planned to contHue
his investigation into the mystery sur
rounding the murder in her apartments
on Dec. 30, of Maize Colbert the art
model.
After his examination of a score Of
witnesses yesterday, Mr.. Rotan an
nounced that nothing had been reveal
ed to make him change his opinion
that all the circumstantial evidence
pointed to Bernard Lewis. of Pitts
burgh, as the slayer. At the same time
he gave John Colbert, a brother of the
slain girl, authority to conduct a pri-
vate investigation and to take to the
city hall for examination any one he
suspected of having knowledge of the
case.
Colbert, who is in business in New
York. says that he does not believe
Lewis killed his sister. He declared to-
day that he had discovered new evil
dence of the greatest Importance"
This evidence he said came from a
source outside Or PhiJ4ielphia and anay
result in upsetting or'weakening every
thing now thought to be established.
A Sh1rt, collar ana necktle found on
Lewis were identified last night by a
clerk in a haberdashery here as the
articles he had sold the Pittsburgh
man on the day the crime is believed to
have been committed The clerk said
that Lewis had made the purchases
shortly after II a. m. on Dec. 30. Two
other witnesses stated they had talked
with Miss Colbert over the telephone
after II o'clock that day. The police
had contended that Lewis had bought
the articles after Miss Colbert was
slain.
