After Stage Career
Rivaling Bernhardt

Paris. July 3o.-Duse, known on
the continent only by this name. a
famed Italian actress and the only
woman ever compared to Sarah
Bernhard and by some people con-
sidered even superior to the French
artistic, is a pauper.

she made during her career on the
stage. The queen of tragedy has
been forced to ask the Italian gov
ernment for a humble pension as
an officers widow. This she is en-
titled to as her husband was a
captain in the Italian army. As
soon as she receives it she plans
to leave for South America
Word of her poverty has caused
great astonishment in Partisan the
atriCal circles and much concern

GIANT AIR LINE
TO CROSS'SEA
Germans Plan Dirigibles
800 Feet Long, with
300 Cabins.
(By Universal Seryice.D

Paris, July 3o.-The giant new
transatlantic air line which Ger
man private enterprise is planning
to establish will be operated with
dirigibles greater than any which
have heretofore been flown.
They will have 900 cabins, each
with two beds and will be equipped
with kitchens, lounging saloons and
promenades the equal of those pro-
vided on the finest ocean liners.
1t was learned here today the
ships will be from the basic de-
signs of the German inventor Boer-
ner whose crafts were said to be
the models of the R-34-the ship in
which British airmen sailed across
the Atlantic Ocean and back last
summer.
The new dirigibles are to be 500
feet long, so feet wide and 100 feet
high. Motive power will be fur
nished by thirty-four gasoline mo-
tors. each of either $50 or 200 horse
power arranged so the ship can be
navigated in all directions without
the employment of ballast. The ar
rangement is such that a complete
power breakdown or explosion will
be impossible.
The dirigibles will be equipped
to make a 1000 mile nonstop flight
at an average speed of IS miles per
hour.
