Ale rudder had given way and that the

Fnst-That the left rudder Of the
Roma gave way when she was less
than half a mile from where she went
down near the army base fire station
Second-That there was no fire on

result of the right hand side of the

! manageable as she swooped over the
base reservation, narrowly missing
150 foot smokestack Of the central

of the explosion with such force as
to wreck the entire craft and set her

Cause Not. Important.

The actual cause of the fire is not re-
garded as of supreme Importance, for.
according to Col. Fisher the wrecked
uirigible would have burned even II 1t
had not come in contact with the wires.
When the nose of the airship crashed
against the ground the big gasoline
tanks burst and the infiammable liquid
strca med over the wreckage, feeding the
flames that had started when the cam
vas bag of the craft struck against the
electric wires.
"If there had been no blaze before
the Roma crashed to the ground" Col.
Fisher declared. "the men trapped under
the steel and canvas, of the ships rig
u ng doubtless would nave been burned
TO death anyway. for the gast line that
houred out of the tanks over the wreck
Age would have ignited from the en-
zines"
/ The disaster has In no way affected
the morale of the men OF his station,
Col Fisher said.

ENGLAND AND ITALY
SHOCKED OVER ROMA
Grief Expressed in Rome for
Fate of Men.

ROME, Feb. % (Associated Press) -
Gen. de Seibert, chief OF the Italian
Aviation Service. to-day declined t. dis
cuss the possible cause of the disaster
to the great American aiTship Roma,
which was purchased from, italy. He
declared the scant technical information
obtainable from the dispatches reaching
Rome dealing with the destruction of
the airship did not afford sufficient
ground on which to form an opinion.
The newspapers to-day print columns
regarding the accident and in recalling
incidents surrounding the Roma during
her building and trips she made in Italy.
The expressions of grief were general
in aviation circles here to-day, as many
OF the crew of the illfated Roma had
made many friendships among the
Italian officers and with Italian fami-
lies. The Americans were familiar fig
ures on the streets of Rome for many
months. They virtually had camped at
the aviation grounds at Ciampno and
knew every official connected with it,
LONDON, Feb. % Associated Press) -
News of the desti action of the United
States army drigible Roma is the out
standing feature in London morning
newspapers which print long descriptive
accounts OF the tragedy and pictures of
the airship. Similarity Of tho details
with those of the destruction of the R-3S
at Hull last summer Is widely remarked
The Times says editorially that while in
the Hull tragedy the people of the United
States and Great Britain Joined in a
common sorrow this time the blow has
fallen on America alone. but England
feels with her and for her to-day no less
than she did when her own sons were
numbered among the dead"

J. M. GIDDING AT LUNCH
GIVES FASHION HINTS
Efon,ine and Perloine Among
Coming Dress Materials.

Twenty-Five fashion writer's and
business women were entertained az
luncheon yesterday at the Plaza by j..
NJ Gliding of J. NJ. Gliding & Co..
which last week opened a new store III
Fifth avenue near Fifty-siXth street
The luncheon was an expression of the
hosts appreciation of women in the
professions and the business world, and
particularly in the field Of fashions.
Afterward Mr.. Gliding gave a few
fashion forecasts, which Included the
revival of etamine, a loosely woven
fishnet material for dresses. and per
laine. particularly for Southern wear.
Skirts are to be long and the waist line
IS to drop, dresses are to be simple
and somewhat shapeless, with uneven
hem line, and capes are to accompany
irany costumes. Sport suits are to De

pied and about two hundred persons
were accommodated with chairs on the
stage. The applause following the most
interesting numbers on the list was en-
thusiastic.
Bach was the hero of the recital. lie
was represented by his G. major sonata
and his suite in @ major for cello un-
accompanied. Edouard Gendron was at
the piano. and in the sonata his admit
rabie playing was paired with that OF
Mr.. Casais In a performance OF extraor-
dinary beauty and finish. The perform
ance OF the suite was something TO be
cherished in the memory.
Mr.. Casals played both pieces, but
particularly the suite. as if he were
closeted with perhaps some one chosen
friend, or even alone and searching our
the secrets OF Bach for the pure delec-
tation Of his own artistic spirit one
could not help wondering what the oid
cantor of Leipsic would have thought
II he could have seen an cudience OF
twelve hundred persons hanging breath
less on the performance OF these rec
ords of his genius meant for the privacy
of the chamber and the pleasure of per-
hans a dozen listeners. But Bach grows
with the centuries and he has no more
devoted apostle than Mr.. Casals, who
y,lavs every note precisely as 1t is writ
ten. vet stamps his own personality on
every measure.
The other numbers on the program
were Beethoven's twelve variations on
"E,in Maedchen oder Weibchen." from:
Mozart's "Zauberfloete." ana compost
tons by Moor. Henschei. Faure. Laio
ord Poccherini
