Final Test of ZR-2
May Be Undertaken
In England To-day
Then American Officers
and Grew Will Prepare
to Bring Giant Dirigible
Across the Atlantic Ocean

HOWDEN, England, Aug. 10 (By
The Associated Press There was
rejoicing among the Am erican avators
who have been fretting through what
seems to them intermnable delay when
announcement was made at the air
drome this afternoon that the pros
poets OF more settled weather might
enable the final proving of the ZR-2 by
her British builders to be undertak en-
tomorrow.
When this final test has been made
the American officers and crew are to
be made familiar with the handling
of the big dirigible, preparatory to
taking her across the ocean to her new
home in the United States.
To avoid repetition of the tedious
delays suffered at Howden, owing to
the necessity of ideal weather for ma
neuvering the mammoth gas bag safely
out of the hangar, the British testing
crew intend to take the ship, after the
fight which was expected to begin to-
night, to the Pelham airdome in Nor
folk, where she will be tied to q moor
ing mast. Recent experiments with the
mast have shown that the ship can
safely ascend and descend from it with
minimum danger in any weather.
The ground crew, which will handle
the giant airship ZR-2 on its arrival
after fight across the Atlantic Ocean
from England began intensive training
outside the mammoth hangar at Lake
hurst, N. j., yesterday. More than 500
men have been assembled to handle
the ZR2, which is the largest airship
in the world. They arc under COM
mand of Commander r. D. Weyer-
bacher.
The training which began yesterday
consisted Of formation work The non
rigid dirigible CO is to be sent to
Lakehurst from the Rockaway naval
air station, so that the crew can re-
ceive practical instruction in handling
airships.
A big mooring mast of lattice-work
steel is being constructed at Lake
hurst, so that the ZR-2 will ultimately
be able to swing freely out in the open,
but this will not be completed in time
for her arrival. Consequently, it will
be necessary to house her in the giant
hangar that is now completed, and it
will require all of the 500 men to
walk" her inside the hangar.
The latest information received at
the Lakehurst hangar is that the ZR-2
will arrive there about August 80.

Persons Paid by
POnZi Will Be Sued
To Help Creditors
Bankruptcy Act Provision
To Be Made Base for
Litigation to Help Those
Who Failed to Get Rich

BOSTON, Aug. 19.-All Ponzi nves-
tors, who profited by their investment
and those who merely recovered their
principal without profit, are to be at
tackled in the Federal courts by the
Ponzi trustees. Warning was sent to-
day to such investors that they will
have brief opportunity to make full
restitution to the bankrupt estate or
their names will be published broad
cast, so that those who lost will know
those who protited and refuse to sub
NIT to equitable division.
Suits will be filed in the United
States District Court within a few DAYS
against 267 persons who received
money from Ponz. The suits are for
total Of approximately So5O.OOO. The
return of $4,000 by successful in
vestors is the goal of the trustees. The
light is to be made for the benefit Of
shout $4,000 unfortunate investors.
statement by Trustee Lowell to-
day is as follows:
The recent decisions of the United
States courts have so fully sustained
our contentious that, in justice to the
thousands of poor people who lost all
they had, We must collect all amounts
me cSo@'e' even thougn 1t seems
unfair in some cases
II wish that it were possible to make
people understand that, while the re-
covery OF illegal preferential payments
under the United States bankruptcv
act sometimes causes hardship. it is.
nevertheless, equitable, as it puts
every one on even terms. If these in
vestors could only realize the priva-
ton caused thousands, who lost every
thing they had, they would not wait
to be sued or even notified by one Of
our lawyers. but would pay willingly
and quickly"

Proposal to Furnish Immediate
Aid to Eek .Service Men Laid
Before Cabinet

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. - The re-
Mobilization of thousands of former
service men was discussed at to-day's
meeting of the President and his Cab
met. and consideration was given the
proposal Of turning an army training
camp into II huge rehabilitation center.
|. vas proposed to take over any ono
OF the great cantonments deserted since
Che war and there create a great camp
in which a peace-timc army might be
trained in trades and industry. The
gravity Of the situation which is pre-
scented By thousands of former soldiers
not receiving vocational training was
emphasized by members % the Cabinet.
II is estimated that 10000 men will
be in need Of vocational training within
the coming year. Where 10 provide suf-
ficient facilities is problem which has
engaged the attention Of all govern
ment agencies dealing with the ex-
soldier. 1t was pointed out that thus
far the work Of rehabilitation has been
done in a piecemeal way, with unsatis-
factory results for all concerned.
The proposal t. apportioa 10000 men
20 an army camp and there drill them
in the pursuits Of peace under condi-
lions approHmating the best features

Moved life and an army of ex-soldiers
numbering 100000 will be given
chance to receive practical demon
stration of the country's gratitude.

Relic of Ten-Hour Day
The practice of allowing five hours
for call Is relic OF the time when
ten hours constituted days work,
and 1t was thought just and reasonable
to allow one half day, or five hours,
for call. Now that the hours have
been reduced to eight, by the same
principle it is just and reasonable TO
make the allowance one half dav or
four hours.
Employees usually commence work
between Z and 1880 a. M, with lunch
period in the neighborhood Of IL
o'clock noon, and finish their regular
eight hour period at p. M. Certainly
there is no hardship in asking en-
ployees to continue or to 6 D. M. III

so to = meal, and in many cases work
men would prefer to work the addi-
tiona! two hours in order to complete
their work and go home without havinr
to return
IF men are called after regular
hours for some emergency work, it is
fair and reasonable to use these men
only on other emergency work which
may have developed after they were
called without being obliged to call
them again or to cali other men.
When men arc sent out on the road
Tor emergency service, or to fiji tenn
porary vacancies, it Is certainly just
and reasonable to pay them straight
time for all time travelling or waiting,
and for all time worked, straight time
for straight time hours. and overtime
Tor overtime hours in accordance with
the practice at the home station or at
the point where they are temporarily
employed.
ut is just and reasonable that men
assigned 20 road service on a monthly
basis should be paid eight hours per
day, 1855 days per year without any
allowance for overtime"
