GERMANY TO BUILD
ZEPPELIN FOR j. S.
SEVENTY THoUsAND-METER AIR
SHIP CONTRACTED FOR AFTER
LONG NEGOTIATIONS.
"DIPLOMATIC VICTORY"
Allies, After Numerous Notes, Permit
Germans to Accept the Contract.
May Take Year For Com
pietion OF Big ship.

Paris.-The council Of ambassadors
has granted permission to the United
States to contract for the construction
at Friedrichshafen, Germany, of a Yep
pelin of the Lr70 type. This decision
marks the end Of diplomatic negotia-
tiols which have preceded between the
allied powers and the United States
since July last.
The application for the construction
of a Zeppelin grew out of the destruc-
ton in Germany of five of the big
dirigibles, one Of which had been al
lotted to the United States, during the
peace conference.
The United States based its applica-
ton on the grounds that it was en-
titled to an airship under Germany's
reparations agreement. The council Of
ambassadors referred the matter to the
principal allied powers, and several
notes are said to have been exchanged.
Washington.-Auth by the
allied council Of ambassadors for the
of the L-70 type for the United States
was regarded in official circles here
as a distinct triumph for American di-
plomacy.
By virtue Of that authorization Ger.
many is permitted to go behind the
terms Of the protocol signed in Paris
last June 80, which limited the size
of airships she might build to 10000
cubic meters capacity. The airship
which Germany will build for the Unit
ed States is to be Of 10000 cubic me-
tiers capacity and there had developed
amond allied governments a decided
opposition to establishing a precedent
by permitting Germany to go behind
the terms of any treaty or agreement
The opposition of the European gov
ernments was overcome by repeated
representations by Ambassador Her
rick that this country would not use
the new airship for military purposes
and that America was entitled to com
pensation in kind for the Zeppelin
/ awarded this government and later de
stroyed by Germany. Those represen
! tations were made Immediately afte
the signing of the protocol and were
renewed until the allied government
were assured of the justice of Ameri
cas- claims and the good faith of thu
United States government in engaging
that the new airships would not b.
used for military purposes.
The completed airship will be deliy
cred to the United States in German,
without the expenditure of a singh
penny by this government, it wa
stated, and then will be flown acros
the Atlantic by crew Of navy depart
ment aeronauts. Construction Of tn
airship will be under the direction of
staff Of American navy experts, TIL
personnel of which has not yet bee
announced.

RULE FOR BORROWING MONEY
Farmer Should Make Sure That Pur.
pose VIII Return Greater Re-
turn Than the Debt.

Farm credit is a good agency in the
hands of those farmers who know how
to use it. but it is dangerous element
of farm business if its nature aud
purpose is not fully understood. An
Unpr0ductive enterprise is NOT a safe
basis on which to borrow money UNI
der any conditions. 1t is more inn
portant that the enterprise shall be
productive than that the rate of in
teresr at which, one can borrow money
he high or low. Farm-cred,t special
lists Of the United States Department
of Agriculture lay down one essential
gule to be followed by the farmer who
proposes to borrow money: Make sure
that the purpose for which the Dor
rowed money is TO be used will pro-
duce return greater than is needed
to pay the debt
