WESTERLY

A big dirigible balloon of the Zeppe-
lin type bearing the United States
colors and several passengerst ap
.peared directly over Westerly at II
O'CLOCK Thursday morning. Just what
the purpose of the flight over town
was did not seem to be known. Some
ventufed the theory that it might
have been one of the large Giirigibies
from which it was planned TO drop
Liberty loan literature, but if this
were so it was not borne out by fact,
for so far as it is known no literature
Of that type was found in this section.
