The colossal size of these two build

After our giro Of the city at thirty
miles an hour we returned to the Cam
pagna at the rate OF fifty, proceeding
to the Alban Hlls as far as Castel Can

edge of which it is situated. Long be-
fore we reached the lake we had full

slopes. 1t was a curious experience as
we crossed the round, volcanic bowl Of
Lake Albano to look over one side of
the ship and see far below us the re-
Election of the Roma in the lake, while
on the other we could see the faithful
shadow which had preceded US to Rome

Zeppelin Out for Exercise
Returning from the city we saw first
below us and aftcrward above the Zep-
pelin which had come out for a little
morning exercise. Evidently the Ital-
lans did not intend to regard it as
merely souvenir of the war. In de-
scendlng we had the first sensation of
disturbance of equilibrium when the
bow was dipped 1t was very odd and
picturesque to see the soldiers in gray
green and the workmen in blouses be-
low us tugging at the lines and rushing
! rom one place to another to land US
securely above the white circle of
cement used as a landmark and looking
for all the world like flock of mice.
After landing about l0:45 o'clock we
went to the officers quarters, where we
received marsala and chocolates and
were once more photographed. several
snapshots ha' .ng already been taken
