CHANT AIR LINER TO
 START OCEAN FLIGHT ) SOME TIME TOMORROW
SKIPPER WOULD RATHER RISK OCEAN THAN DANGER OF OPEN ANCHORAGE
 600 MEN KEPT ON CALL.

Mineola, N. r., July 9-Pros- poets that the British dirigible R-34 would get away between midnight tonight and s a. m. tomorrow seemed brighter this forenoon when W. R. Gregg, a weather expert sent here from Washington, announced that the heavy southeast gale of yesterday had changed to light west winds. This situation was favorable and would continue probably for IS hours, he said
 Major c. q. H. Cooke. navigator of the diriFible, declared hc under etooe, there would be q wonderful chang, in the weather conditions.' and that it was likely that the ship would got away about 1 o'clock to- morrow morning.
 The airship Is ready 10 sail when ever her commander, Major c. II. Scott, decides that weather reports pscsaee a successful return voyage In the face of reports of winds in the east. a condition unusual at sea at this time of year, Major Scott and his navigating officers considered 1t less of a hazard to remain in the open at Roosevelt Field than to risk disaster in a high wind over the At lanttc.
 The crew of the R-34 enjoyed q night off last night, but the six hun- dred men of the army and navy avia- ton units were held in nearby bar racks to be called in case the big bag became unmanugeable. Scarcely any wind was blowing early today and 1t was predicted that all danger of disaster from winds had passed.
 Captain Samuel T. Moore. of the balloon section of the United States army. today gave to The Associated Prees representative a description of the rshter-than-ai ship to cross the Atlantic.
 The R-si Is 6io feet long, with four cars, or gondolas. suspended from the cignr-shaFed envelope. The forward gondola is occupied by the navigator and pilots and from all parts of the ship are controlled by means of speaking tubes and boil signals. Here also are the mechanism for controlling the water ballast tanks; two pilot wheeis. controlling the rudder and the elevator planes: and the naviGa- tors plotting table.
 In tho rear of the forward gondola Is the wireless room. which also holds one of the ships engines. From the naviSator's car an aluminium ladder runs 10 the ship proper above. This ladder is enclosed.
 The two side Eondolas each contain an engine and are only largo enough for two men to work. The rear car holds two engines.
 Inside the big bag is the deck which is only nine inches wide except at it's middle, where it widens out into a compartment by 20 feet used by the officers and crew as a dining saloon.
 Hydrogen gas---the lifting power of the shtp---is carried in IS compart- mentS inside the envelope. These compartments are nnal5o of the Things of intestines of calves.

BILLION
 MARKS TOTAL OF HUN
 NATIONAL WAR DEBT
THE WAR TAKES OUR RICHES AND THE WORLD DENIES US INTERNATIONAL
 JUSTICE" CRIES ERZBERGER.

Berlin, Tuesday. July &
 Germany is to return quickly
 to a peace time financial sys-
 tenn, said Matthias Erzberger,
 vice chancellor and minister
 of finance speaking at Weimdr
 before the German national as
 sembly today. Among other
 things the payment of grants
 to unemployed men will be re-
 duced it was indicated during
 his address,
 Herr Erzberger cncluding his speech asking that taxation bills be
 disposed of before a recess is taken,
 added: The war takes our riches.
 The world has denied us international
 justice. All the more passionately
 and energetical1y, however, will we
 work for the home land again and,
 flourishing in justice, concentrate our
 care and endeavor upon the poor but
 just German
 "The empires needs must be di-
 vided henceforth between home needs and indemnities," he said. ''The years expenditures confronting us will amount to about 17,50O, 900, 900
 marks. The war office system shall cease. A gradual abolition of non employment grants must be faced How are the full requirements of the empire, new states and comnunes which may be estimated at some 25,- 900, 100000 marks to be covered ?'' After citing the returns to the em- pire from taxation measures prior to orH rrin ha astin ii the revenue to be derived from new
 tax bills, Herr E-zberger said: There still remains @ sum of over 10,000,- l 900, 900 marks to be covered" "The ministry of finance has almost completed the drafting of two inn portant bills levying new taxes which intend to submit to the House before the parliamentary recess he contin- ued. These call for a. large single levy on property and a. large tax on business turnover, but even if these bills are passed, the money for the payment of indemnities must be ob- tained in some other way. In the autumn now bills will be introduced in the national assembly with the
 final object of covering this deficit. The burdens of taxation will reach an absolutely terrible height. A float ing debt of 72, GOO, 0OO 900 marks is a constant danger and the removal or | this debt is one of our most urgent ! tasks. There are two ways in which | to do it---either It's conversion into a i funded loan or its extinction by big i levies and a heavy property tax. I do 1 not indulge the hope that these two
 ways will immediately yield the en- , tire liquid amount of 72,OO0 900. OeO marks. It is the duty of propertied 1 people. not only to bow to a state of l lcompulsion, but to achieve an inward
 conviction as the necessity of giving
 up all riches and all that is super | fluous.
 | Changes in the system of taxation
 will be speedily submitted to the na-
 tional assembly. This reform will
 represent the completion of the whole
 work"

 Mrs. Eliot was Mabel Louise. the third daughter of Sir Edward Dean Paul. She was married to Col. Thos Athertor in 1892. Her husband di- vorced her in 1907, naming John Reg inald Yarde-Buller, now Baron Chur- ston, correspondent Mrs. Ath- erton then sued MT. Yarde-Buller for breach of promise and won her case.

 MT. Stirling named Lord Northland as correspondent. Mrs. Stirling filed a cross suit naming Mrs. Atherton.
 The case, which occupied the Scot tish court for several months, wal decided in favor of the husband.

MEN HAVE NO DESIRE TO FIGHT
 FOR AUSTRIA

One of the most heroic chapters of. the war will concern Istria. That chapter will tell of the men who a1- tered their clothing and appearance changed their names, slipped out of their villages under cover of night crawled for days through woods and ever mountains to avoid the roads. and by one device or another evaded the Austrian military and police and finally succeeded in crossing the bor- der into Italy. There they enlisted in the Italian army.
 Of course, from the Austrian view point this was treason. These men, if taken prisoners, would not merely be assigned to @ concentration camp. They would be executed as traitors. They knew this. It would have been infinitely less pcrilous for them sim ply to submit. as subjects of Austria to conscription into the Austrian army. And yet, thousands from Istria and the other ''Unredesmed Lands" Csc called because past repeated wars had failed to redeem them to Italy). not only at the risk of their own lives but of the lives of the relatives they left behind. escaped to Italy to take part in the redemption.

One effect of nationwide pro- hibition has been to increase the deposits in local savings banks it was learned today. The four institutions of that character have never been so busy at this period in former years. Not only are unusually large deposits be- ing made by those who already have banking accounts but many new accounts are being opened.
 Secretary and Treasurer R. w. Cogswel of the City Savings bank said there had been a large increase in business at his bank. He declared that although the first week in July is always a busy time the volume of business this year was greater than ever before.
 It was noticed that last Satur- day and Monday crowds were in line at the banks to make de- posits of part of their wages.

MARTIN CORNERS MARKET; BUYS IN
 LINEN SUPPLY Purchases 4O,OOO,0O0 Yards of Material From British
 Government. PLANS TO CLEAR
 OVER S5,OOO, 900 Stock He Controls Repre- sents Normal Production
 for Three Years.

London July 9-Leonard J. Mar tin. a young English business man who deals in agricultural machinery has bought for 2O,00O,oOO from the British government about 40,000,000 yards of linen which was intended for making airpIanes. He knew nothing about linen, but bought for specula- ton.
 Today his name and picture are featured in every British paper and editorial writers are pointing out that the enterprising young man doesn't have to go to new countries to find golden business opportunities. Martin is 37 year old and began his career, he says, with a capital of about $500.
 'I bought over the heads of every body else,' he said in discussing the big deal. simply by offering a high CT price than anybody else would pay. This is a one-man deal. I am fas- cinated by the possibilities of the thing. I have never seen a proposi- ton with so much scope in the mar lSets of the world"
 The stock of material Martin now controls. represents three years nor nal supply. He is reckoning on a profit of about s5.OuO.oOO. Of that amount s2 900, 900 will go to tle Brit ish treasury in excess profits and S125. 900 in super tax.
 '"They went on making linen by millions of yards at 40 to 75 cents a yard. Then they offered the gov ernment seven cents a yard to take it back. Their price later went up to about 25 cents a yard, and it was still hoped in view of the moponoly to sell 1t to the public at three shill- ings. They could have re-equipped all the mills in Ulster out of the prof. it's. I have got the linen at about double the final Belfast offer"
