F. B. Buck, president of the board of
stewards, is one of the most hearty
supporters of the movement and is of
the opinion that the plan will be tried
out in the near future. He STAKES that

Germans Threaten to
Burn "a Zeppelins

Coblenz, Sunday, August 3-(By courier
to Paris. )-Germans in charge of "a Yep
pelins near Berlin have threatened to
burn them rather than deliver them to
the allies as required by the peace treaty.
according to information obtained by the
American army authorities here, it was
learned today. The xeppelins are each
of 25-ton capacity and can fly from
Berlin to San Francisco, according to
German sources. Several were built to
carry forty persons.
The Germans are said to be seeking per-
mission to fly the Zeppelins to the United
States, hoping to find buyers for the air
ships there. II this permission is not
given, according to army information
here, or some other satisfactory solution
offered, the Germans will destroy the
airships rather than allow the French
and British to take possession Of them.
