ZR-2 TO FLY ACROSS
OCEAN NEXT SPRING
Worlds Largest Airship Built
in England for U. s. May
Go to Pacific Coast.
WILL BE USED BY NAVY
Information for Development
of Commercial Aviation
VIII Be Disclosed.

The worlds largest airship, the ZR-2,
built for the United States Navy in
England, viii fly across the Atlantic.
and possibly to the Pacific coast, late
next May or early in June, the Manu-
facturers' Aircraft Association an
nounced yesterday
The great airship. known in British
air service as the RIBS. is one-third
larger. far more powerful and has twice
the cruising range of the R-34. which
was the first, and so far the only lighter
than air craft TO cross the Atlantic.
She will come 10 this country under the
command OF an American naval officer,
Commander i. II. Maxfield, and crew
OF seventy-two officers and men of the
navy. W
The only reason why the zR-2 will
not make a nonstop fight from Eng
land to California, a flight we'll within
her great cruising range. is that there
are no facilities for housing the huge
ship on the Pacific coast. When the
R-34 paid her visit to this country there
was no hangar on the whole Continent
which could house her, and in conse-
duence she remained in the open for
several days.
Capt. I. r. Craven, Director Of Naval
aviation, expects to be able through IN
formation and experience gathered. on
the great airships long journey, to fur
nish assistance to those interested IN
the commercial possibilities OF this type
of aircraft The possibility of trans
atlantic service has already been studied
in both Germany and England. Capt.
Craven. however states that Federal
regulation OF aerial traffic, rules making
for the safety of life and property, are
necessary before aeronautics can be
properly developed here.
1T is hoped that the present Congress
will not wait until naval aviation's air
ship arrives before 1t provides an aerial
law" Capt Craven said In discussing
the big ships coming. Naval aviation
desires to aid commercial aviation. we
are in need of equipment and personnel,
but such as we have are being utilized
Capt. Craven declared the ZR-2 was
but the first of a series of giant ships
needed by the navy. and that back OF
the navy there must be civilian re-
serve One big result of the coming OF
the navys first giant dirigible will be
the mental effect upon Americans I'M
used to regarding aviation as essential
in national defence or desirable in COM
merce.
The ZR-2 was taken over by the
United States from the British Govern
ment while in it's earliest stages of con-
struction. The cost is said to be about
$500, 600. The u indicates lighter than
aircraft, the r rigid type and the the
number of the particular dirisible. The
Fri is similar airship designed by
the Bureau of Construction and Repair,
on which work already has been begun.
This airship will be assembled at Lake
hurst, n. j.. where a big hangar is being
built Another huge hangar is being
constructed at Cape May, N. j.. where
there Is a naval air station.

o,Neal Tells Dimculties.

James O'Neal, member National Ex-
ecutive Committee. Socialist party, and
late candidate for President Of the
Board OF Aldermen on the Socialist
ticket:
Two factors must be taken into ac-
count in considering the Socialist party
vote. These are internal dissensions
and the persecution the party suffered
from governmental and private agencies.
"Following the armistice, what was
known as a left wing movement APP
peared within the branch organizations
of the party. 1t was largely a reflex
of the Russian revolution. 1t sought
control of the national organization. A
number of State organizations captured
by 1t had their charters revoked by
the National Executive Committee early
in 1919.
Coupled with this internal wreck
ing. blows were rained upon it from
the outside through arrests and raids
by public authorities and private
agencies Most of our publications had
been destroyed by arbitrary rulings of
the Postmaster-General, and those that
remained were deprived of their second
class mailing rights.
Due to these unprecedented condi-
tions. the Socialist party entered the
national campaign of 1920 with total
membership of about 10000. as COM
pared with 125, 1000 in 1912. We had
but seven good State organizations,
about nineteen that functioned imper-
fectly or not at all. and in the remainder
no organized activity whatever. The
party had become so exhausted by the
struggle with its internal and external
enemies that it was in no position to
wage n national campaign.
ut is my candid judgment that the
vote is a remarkable showing consider
ing the history of the movement for
the last three years. The marvel is
that we We're able to file. Presidential
electors in all but seven States and
We're able to poll nearly 100000 votes"

SEEK LEGISLATION
TO SAVE FORESTS
Wood Using Associations and
Others Agree on Plan.

Legislation 20 save the nations for
ests will be sought in bill to be intro
duced in Congress before the first of the
year, through an agreement on ma
tional forest policy by all the wood using
associations of the country and all the
forestry organizations, It was announced
yesterday by Warren d. Bullock. secre-
tary of the newly formed National For
estry Programme Committee. The com
mittee is composed of representatives, of
the newspaper publishers, lumber manu-
facturers and dealers, paper manu-
facturers and forestry associations.
The bill contemplated provides for the
addition of land to the national forests.
the protection of public and private tim
Der from fire, the determination of land
available for forest growth. planting OIL
timber on potential forest land now
available. and similar steps for the
maintenance of future raw material
for the paper. lumber and other manu-.
facturers.
Mr.. Bullock pointed out that New
York and Pennsylvania are now leading
the country In the amount of land being
reforested, but that the work now being
done in this State must be duplicated
throughout the country II a future
famine in paper and lumber is to be
avoided.

TELL
WHY THAT PARTY
GAINED NO MORE
Leading Representatives
Give Reasons for Small
Increase in Vote.
ONLY 2o,357 OVER 1912
New York Made Big Jump,
but Not in Protest, Morris
Hillquit's View.
REDS HURT, O'NEAL SAYS
Algernon Lee Recites Handi-
caps and Meyer London Thinks
No Progress Made.

Leaders Of the Socialist party are BUSY
making varied explanations to account
for the comparatively meagre vote cast
in last months Presidential election for
their imprisoned idol. Eugene V. Debs.
There is no blinking the fact that if
the growth of Socialism is to be gagged
in America by the showing 1t made at
the polls on November it is a dimir-
fishing and not an increasing force.
About 25,000,000 women were privileged
to vote this year who did not enjoy the
Presidential franchise in 1912. And yet
the popular vote accredited to Mr.. Debs
for the 1920 election is only about 10000
in excess of that cast for him eight
years ago.
Accepting as accurate the totals by
States as supplied by the National Com
mittee of the Socialist party, the vote
this year for the Socialist Presidential
ticket was 91S,S3S. In 1912 1t was
S9S.4S1. In only six states or the
forty-eight did Debs this year show any
considerable gain over the vote rolled up
for him eight years ago. Those States
were Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
In the remaining forty-two States this
years Socialist vote showed actual
losses sustained during the eight years,
or else virtually even break either
with the Debs totals of 1912 or the Ben
son vote of 1916 In Seven States the
Socialist party organizations did not at
tempt TO run q ticket. These were

Why the Franklin Gives You
a Finer Motoring Service


and flexible construction. These prin-
ciples allow tires and car to wear out
normally instead of being pounded
out before their time.
These two principles also account
for Franklin comfort, safety and ease
of control. With road shock greatly
diminished, the Franklin clings more
closely to the road. Unhampered by
excess weight, it starts and stops more
quickly, handles more easily.
Having no radiator and no water,
the Franklin is free from winter
troubles, from overheating in sum-
mer, and from leaks the year round.
This performance, joined to savings
ranging from $500 to $500 per car,
makes the Franklin a motoring value
that is unequalled today.

Lee Names Handicnps.

Algernon Lee. educational director,
Rand School of Social Science:
"If ever a political party went into a
campaign under heavy handicaps, the
Socialist party did so in 1920.
Handicap 1.-Relentless persecution
for more than three years most Social
list papers excluded from the mails, and
many altogether suppressed; in most
small places and in some large cities inn
possible to hire a hall for Socialist
meeting open air meetings prohibited.
All this had driven from the movement
all but the most resolute, and had prac-
tically destroyed the Socialist party or
ganization in all but few strongholds.
Handicap Bitter dissensions within
the party, naturally resulting from the
new problems raised by the world war
and from the stress and strain of the
times
Handicap 3.-Utterly lawless conduct
of the authorities. as in the brazen steal
ing of elections, the unseating of Social
lists elected to office, the use of unlawful
violence to throttle public discussion and
to break woiSingmen's strikes.
Handicap 4.-The appearance on the
field of the Farmer-Labor party. which
certainly got a great number of votes
which would otherwise have been cast
for the Socialist ticket.
Handicap 5.--A peculiar political
psychology. The one dominant thought
was: AT last we have, our chance to re-
pudiate Wilson and all his works !
$50 far as know the details of the
Socialist vote and. viewing tlr result in
the light Of the foregoing facts, / am
very we'll satisfied"

NO Progress. Says Meyer London.

Meyer London. Representative-elect to
Congress from the Twelfth New York
district:
'In my Judgment the Socialist party
has made no progress at all in the
Presidential election of 1920. 1t could
not have done so. Although the armis-
tice was declared on the 18th day Of
November 1915 the war is not over.
nor is the madness of the war over.
For more than six years agencies Of
governments. of the press and of the
pulpit have been busy intensifying lace
and national animosities and suppress
ing every kind instinct. Socialism APP
peals TO reason. and reason is silent dur
ing war Socialism appeals to love and
there is nothing but hatred now.
ut is a miracle that more than nine
hundred thousand men and women have
had the civic courage to vote for a
principle"

HiIIauit Not Discouraged.

Morris Hillquit does not regard the
largely Increased Socialist vote in New
York state as a protest against the
course taken by Speaker Sweet and his
legislative associates. I'VE expected
this state to give us 100000" said he.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-12-20

THE striking thing about the
Franklin price reduction is its
relative increase in the already
outstanding value Of Franklin per-
formance.
This performance has always had
real facts back of it:
20 miles to the gallon of gasoline
1850 miles to the set of tires
500 slower yearly depreciation
tNaionst Averaged
The Franklin is economical of fuel
for definite, logical reasons. 1t is
light-weight-meaning less weight to
move; and it is direct air cooled-to
allow the engine to operate at the
most efficient temperature.
Franklin tire life and car life are
prolonged by Franklin light weight

'It has been our custom to believe that
New York State yields about one-tenth

ure TO realize one-half that figure. Mr..
