BERLIN, July 3 delayed Now
that peace-has come the Germans
would like to contribute their ex-
tensive experience in the air to the
development of the aerial navigation
Of the world. AS first step in that
direction the German Government has
been asked by Baron Won Gemmingen,
nephew and successor of Count Yep
pelin, to ask America and the Allies
for permission to cross the ocean to
the United States and return with
the Z-72, the latest Zeppelin and the
largest airship in the world.
The purpose of the Germans is to
demonstrate the practicability OF
aerial travel for huge passenger and
mail traffic as a commercial possible
ity. The Allies also will be requested,
it is said, to ask Washington If there
would be any objection to a landing
in the United States for the purpose
Of replenishing the supply of gasolene
in the event that that should be found
necessary before starting to return.
1t Is stated that the American army
and navy and probably also the British
and French will be invited each to des-
ignate an officer to participate in the
, flight as an observer. Under the terms
Of peace Germany is prohibited from
aerial navigation for six months, and
could undertake to cross the ocean only
by special permission OF the Allies and

, livered to or accepted by the Govern
| ment for military purposes, is on the list

derstood, states specifically that the Z-72

She is close to 700 feet long. with ap-
proxlmately 100000 cubic feet of gas

probable that IL will pass into neutral

Inns, but 1t is reported that he intends

SYDNEY, y. S., July 4.-The British
dirigible R-34 should arrive over Long
Island tomorrow. Owing to the un-
usually heavy and stubborn fog that
has shrouded the southern and west
coasts of Newfoundland Major Scott
commanding the R-34, abandoned his
intended route over st. Johns and
swung his great airship's prov south
west.
Thus the dirigible is due to sal
over Sydney, heading straight across
Nova Scotia toward the Bay OF
Fundy, little later than 9 o'clock 20
night. Wireless messages from Ma jol
Scott to the radio stations at Louis
burg and Glace Bay make 1t more
than conjecture that such are his
plans.
1t became known that the navi
gators Of the R-34 had decided tC
avoid st. Johns when the radio sta
ton at Mount Pearl reported at
o'clock, Greenwich mean time &
o'clock New York time), that they
had picked up a message from the
tlirigible to that effect.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon officials
of the Colonial Administrators offict
sighted the R-34 crossing slowly be
tween Little Miquelon, or Langley
Island, and the Island of st. Pierre
south of Newfoundland. She wa:
headed westward. Her speed wat
much less than normal, but not be
cause Of any disability. The fog:
have made it quite impossible for the
dirigible to attempt anything approx
mating her best gait.
Early In the afternoon some appre
hension was felt concerning the air
ships safety. 1t was we'll known tina
there was no mechanical trouble Il
hinder her, but there was a certain
amount of anxiety lest her navigator
lose their bearings while ploughinl
through the heavy mlsts. At 2:30 New
York time the British naval radio
station at st. Johns reported that tn,
R-34 was lost In the fog banks nortl
of Trinity Bay. Subsequent intelli
gence. however, proved that the dirig
ible had not swerved out Of her cours
but steadily was holding a southwes
track toward Nova Scotia.
The dirigible reached Notre Dame Ba,
at o'clock this morning. At that tim,
II was Major Scott's intention TO process
to st. Johns. 1t is probable that Ma joi
Scott followed the line of the eastern
coast of Newfoundland less than an houl
before he decided that II would be fool
