ROME, September 22.-The Messag-

meeting between the premiers Of Italy
and Jugosfavia for an adjustment Of
the Fiume question. The proposed
conference would take place at Alb

The Rome press continues to be
optimistic in view of the approaching

has left Belgrade with instructions
from his government for the Jugo-
slav minister in Rome.
It Is assumed that these instruc-
tions include reply to MussoIini,

the approaching agreement on a d.

An-Ameriean Product.
This imposing airship was designed
by the Navy Department, fabricated
by the naval aircraft factory of Phil

the naval air station, Lakehurst, N. j.
IA thoroughly American product. or
course, the Zeppelin design was fol-

the Navy believes her craft occupies

The ZR-1 has a framework of dura-

mum, copper and manganese, which
provides a tensile strength of mild
steel, but is only one-tfiird of its
weight. Twenty gas bags. inflated,
comprise the lifting power. and these

The Navy Department wil' operate

The future of lighter than air craft
for military and commercial pur-
poses rests with the performance of
the zR-1, which today stands head
and shoulders above all other rigid
dirigfbles in the world and, naval of
ficers say, represents the farthest
step taken in the construction of this
type of air liner
Dirigibles in the past. even the IA
nous wartime ZeppeIins of the Ger
mans, have not performed to the com
plete satisfaction of certain aero
nautical group. There was the ZR- 2
disaster in England and the Roma ex-
plosion in this country, besides loss to
governments of smaller craft.
But the ZR-1 Is out to show the
world there is a future for vessels of
her type, and she fully realizes that
critical eyes are watching every move
she makes. For that reason her com
manding OFFICER, Commander Frank NJ.
McCrary. who also Is In charge of the
naval air station at LAX ehurst, N j.,
Is not taking any chances by sending
up his ship in the face of storms and
turbulent winds-at least at present.
Helium Vital Factor.
There is one feature about the ZR-1
that every one agrees is going to play
a large part in the ships future sue
cess-helium, non-explosiye, non-in-
hammable gas with about nine tenths
the lifting power of the deadly hydro
gen. Helium is found in the natural
gas of certain gas fields of Texas and
Kansas, but is not found in CONNER
cial quantities in any other country
of the world. This fact places the
odds greatly in favor of the United
States for future development and
construction of lighter -than-air craft.
The United States Navy ZR-1 is $50
feet long. or 20 feet longer than her
German built sister, the ZR-3. The
diameter is IS feet and the height SO
feet. With her gas capacity of 2,15O,-
600 cubic feet she can lift about 130,-
coo pounds, although her dead weight
is about $4,000 pounds. The six 400
horsepower engines can develop a
speed for the craft of about 20 miles
