Washington, August 94.-Expres- sions of deep regret were voiced by
 government officials today over the destruction of the giant alrship zR-2 with a heavy loss of American and British lives. Pride in the acquisition of the new queen of the air and hopes of tremendous devefopment In mili- tary and commercial aeronsutics had lent interest to the proposed trans
 atlantic flight of the British built air cruiser even beyond that which it normally would have aroused. Latest advices to the navy depart
 ment indicated that of the seventeen
 members of the hand picked Ameri- can crew on board during the test,
 only one. Quartermaster Norman o. Walker of Commerce, Tex, had sur vived. London dispatches, however put
 the American loss at 17. declaring every American on board" was lost. Tt is a terrible thing" was the comment of Secretary Denby as he | received cable dispatches giving de- tails of the catastrophe.
 Mir. Denby immediately forwarded
 to the British air ministry a mes sage expressing the sympathy of the navy department.
 "The navy department of the United States extends to the air ministry and the British navy deepest sympathy | in the appalling disaster to the zR-2" the message said I've hope our carly reports will prove exagger- | ated as to loss of life"
 Far from being discouraged by the | disaster. naval aviation officials im- ] nediatsly prepared to seek authority for construction of d new ship of the ERA type In the United States. "We will carry on build and oper- ate an many ZR-2s as may be au- thorised by Congress-" Admiral Will liam A. Moffett, chief of the naval bureau of aeronautics, said tonight" so that these brave men may not have lost their lives in vain"
 Have Not Lost Faith Other aviation officers, while greatly distressed, declared they had not lost faith in rigid airships. They pointed out that Germany had built and successfully operated 140 ships of similar design. many of only slight 1 ly less carrying capacity, while English constructors had turned out 16.%
 The only serious accidents recorded against these, so far as naval files indicate, was the wreck of an early German Zeppelin over Lake Constance l before the war and the smashing of the British R-S4 when she ran afoul Of her hangar
 official dispatches to the depart-
 ment did not contain any information upon which experts could base an opinion as to the cause of the disaster. The opinion was expressed that. the theory of an explosion of hydrogen gas might be dismissed at once. Con struction in the different sections l taken in designing the actual con tainers of the gas, 1t was said, rem dered this possibility very remote. The theory most generally ex-
 pressed was that a structural weak ness development, similar to that re-

Writing from Maxeys, Ga, A. J. Gillen, proprietor of a large depart inent store at that place. says;

Town planning, city planning and

evident during the last few years that,
though the earth can be depended up

is a vast difference between river
running wild and one laden with ship

to course by cowpath, following the
direction of least resistance, and one
that serves to the utmost the inter-

a community where every private in

and one where residents, merchants,
