Abnormal Acoustieai Conditions and
"Hsisht Sickness" Causes.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.l
London, Sept. 1s.-Ever since the
big Zeppelin night raid on London Oct.
II, 1914 the public has believed that
the Zeppelin commanders stopped their
engines and allowed the giant craft
e a-!s. silently with the wind across
the city, which was unaware OF the
enemy's presence until bombs were &C
tually dropped 'a 't'.
But the facts now made known were
that the apparent silence Of the Yep
pelin engines was due partly to abnor-
NAL acoustical conditions partly to the
great height at which the airships
flew in order to be above the range
OF British anti-aircraft fire, and partly
because some OF the engines did stop
although not by any desire OF the en-
gineers. The few engines that stopped
prisoners have disclosed did so be-
cause the crews were too height SICK
to operate themt s- II !.
Experts say that the abnormal
acoustics OF that night are not likely

attempt to prevent or impede the mobl-
lizatfon Of Porto Rican leborers for
transportation to the mainland Tor
work in war industries has been dis
covered by the United States employ
ment office in San Juan. Special
Agent Roberts declares, such action Is
directly against the vital interest or
the nation and that if the persons re-
sponsible are found out they will be
severely dealt with by the federal au-
thorities.
The fact that 5000 Porto Rican work
men already have left the island and
that many more may leave has aroused
resentment and opposition and all ef-
fort to discourage men from joining the
outgoing army of workers has been
going on for at least couple OF weeks.
In one large town where two weeks
ago last Sunday it was arranged to
hold a mass meeting to explain to the
laborers the purpose for which they
were sent north and the treatment
they wonld receive, it Is said that tho
agents employed by the sugar men OF
the vicinity were out Offering all the
cane workers $3.50 to continue work
during the entire day. Recently the as

disseminated among the men.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Production of

stage where it is being limited practic-
ally only by facilities for transporting
the airplanes to France. The produc-
ton of Liberty motors during the

that since June l, approximately $500

that none of-the beliigerents at any
one time since the beginning of the
war has had more than $500 airplanes
actually in service. the significance OF
an American production of $500 planes
in five months becames apparent.
These $500 planes included nearly one
hundred and Atty heavy bombers and
the remainder were planes Of all classes
including observation machines and
