Berlin, Oct. 25-With the time for
the surrender of Gcrmany's aerial
forces to the allies and America
drawing near, the Zeppelin works
are preparing to put up fight
against giving up the Z-72, the larg-
est airship in the world, on the
ground that it was never taken over
by the military and therefore does
not come under the provision of the
peace treaty.
The Germans, it now develops,
were extremely anxious last spring
that America should have this mon
ster airship if it had to be given up
to some power.
Present to U. S.
Indeed, America came nearer get
ting this last and most modern aer-
ial cruiser than is generally known.
The plan was seriously considered
to have the liz Unexpectedly leave
its shed at Friedrichshaven one fine
night, ignore the armistice condi-
tons, cross the ocean and make it
self a present to the United States.
Three things prevented this at
tempt and caused it to be dropped:
|. An intimation from Washing
ton to two enthusiastic American Of
ficers concerned in the plan that the
reward of their patriotic ardor would
probably be term at Leavenworth.
2. The German crew in all prob
ability would have been informed and
the Zeppelin turned over to the al
lies anyway.
3. The British dirigible R-34 had
crossed the ocean in the meantime,
prccluding the possibility of the Ger
mans establishing the transocean
record in their contemplated pictur-
sque manner.
To Divide the Zeps.
With a state of peace about to
be officially declared, following the
ratification of the peace treaty by
three of the allied powers, the in
terallied commissions in Germany
charged with the supervision of the
enforcement of the military and
naval conditions will begin work in
the next kw days.
Among other things. announce
ment of the division among the
allied and associated powers of
Germany's Zeppelin fleet-or what
is left of it's expected.
U. S. Comes Last.
Indications are that in this, as in
some other things, America is the
last to be considered and gets lit

many's science.
In fact, France, according to an
nouncement by the supreme council
at Paris, gets first choice of what
is left of the Zeppelins; Britain is
second, Belgium third and the
United States fourth. -
The original plan, as said to have
been submitted to the council at
Paris by the British airship depart
ment, was for Britain to get first
choice, namely, IS per cent of the
German Zeppelins, France the sec
ond IS per cent and Belgium 10 per
cent.
Americas share in winning the war
appears to have figured in that orig
inal plan as emitting it to per cent
more ,ilan Belgium by allotting the
United States Is per cent, while 5
per cent were to be left open.
As was exclusively cabled to Uni
versal Service at the time, the great
er part of the Zeppelin feet was "sa
botaged" a few weeks ago. but few
are still left.

1t is no secret that American
army officers, with an eye to the fu-
ture in the air and realizing that the
United States also must have mod

ored in Washington that we get our
share OF the Zeppelins, but whether
anything will be left after Britain,

want is still one of the secrets of the

Fish Plentiful in Chile.

Along the coast of Chile, many
sections of which are practically I'M
inhabited at present, graves of the,
aborigines are found in great num-
bers, and they invariably contain
implements for sea fishing. From
prehistoric times the coast of Chile
has been noted for its diverse and
extensive fisheries. The fishes are so
plentiful that sea birds by the mil
lions, feeding on them, are found
along the coast, and the numerous
guano islands indicate the great
length of time the birds frequented
these waters. With methods similar
to those used in other countries, the
fishing industry could be revolution
lied and established on very large
scale The present methods in Chile
are no more advanced than they were
thousands of years ago. The need is
felt by the Chileans themselves. The
lack of sea food was recently the
subject of a demand from the labor
ers to the government.

Growth Of Canning Industry.

The canning industry has within a
few years grown to colossal proper
lions. 1t is an art that dates back a
little more than 100 years. We owe
this art Of preserving foods through
rendering them sterile by means of
heat and maintaining them in that
condition in Theoretically sealed con-
tainers, to a Frenchman, Nicholas APP
pere, who began his experiments in
canning in 1895 at Chalmons sur
Marine. He worked and experiment.
ed for Is years and in 1910 had prac-
tically perfected his system.
The first canning in the United
States was for the preservation of
sea foods. 1t was not until the
decade following the Civil war that
the superiority of canned foods
over those which were preserved by
sailing, drying and picking became
recognized. Today the United States
is the largest producer and consumer
of canned foods.

Unnecessary Noise.

A man reports that he has succeeded
inventing a noiseless typewriting ma
chine. If the report be true, let us
rejoice. 1t is great stride forward.
ANY invention that stops or lessons any
of the noises of this noisy world is dis
tinctly an achievement.
We suppose that street cars, for in
stance, will one day become obsolete,
but the chances are that they will last
for some time yet. And this being the
case. why is it that some genius does
not invent a way TO muffie the infer
nal. nerve-wracking and diabolical
noise that a street car makes? They
crash and hammer their way over our
streets. and when they round a curve
they emit a wall like the wall of lost

FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT OIL
RidicuIed When First Established in
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.

The first family" or temperance
hotel in London, the forerunner OF
tens of thousands of such hostelries I'm
all parts of the world, was opened I'm
Covent Garden about 145 years aga.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation of families, and minua
bar, was an undreamed-of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prof.
ect to scorn. Despite their derision.
the scheme was successful, and made
a snug fortune for its founder, DAVID
Low. London now has hundreds Oc
family and temperance hotels, and fh0
United States has thousands of them.
The edifice in which Low started
his hotel is still standing. The build
ing was erected early in the seven
teenth century, and was originally the
home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crons-
wells council held sessions in tSe
building. 1t is said, and Ii was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath
erings before it was converted into q
hostelry.

could have been driven out without a
frontal attack? Was it good leader

this questioning, "what-what makes

But why did you do it-what made
you?"
'Why-why-why Annabelle. There

"But, Tommy! I wasn't waiting for
Floyd to come back. You dear, self
effacing, modest, morbid old Tommy
was waiting for you. And I've always
been waiting for you all my mortal
life. Tommy Ellis, are you going to
live the rest of your existence in the
old way, letting everything go for want
Of enough cruelty or wickedness or
-gumption-or whatever it is to reach
out and grab? Or are you going to
grab-me?" Annabelle was laughing
and crying at once. But she cried al
together, and shuddered as she sobbed:
"And you almost threw your life

helped a great deal more. Tommy got
