their whistles as the 'leviathan of
the air sped away to visit another
city-Philadelphia.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11:-After
three hours in the air the ZR-1, the
navy's new giant d~irigible, was work.
ing perfectly this morning as she
prepared for introductory visits to
New York and Philadelphia.
At 8 o'clock the "Leviathan of the
air. was over Ashury Park, N. j.,
flying al an elevation of 1000 feet
and heading ~northward at a moder-
at , speed agains. a 7-mlle northeast
breeze. She appeared to be as STEADY
as a rock and no motion except
steadily forward was observable TO
The beach crowd.
When near Highlands at S:15 her
forward and aft motors became quiet
and as soon as the aft one was re-
started the prov of the great bag
was turned about and ~glistening in
the sunlight, she headed back in the
direction of Lakehurst.
As she disappeared in the Jersey
haze at $3.50 the forward motor still
was quiet but the others worked
steadily.
After the third trial flight last
night the big ship was prepared for
her visit to New York, Commander
McCrary planned to sail her along
Broadway and Fifth avenue for the
Battery to Yonkers and at a height
of 1000 feet air currents would per-
NIT.
1t was reported from Lakehurst
that Commander McCrary expected
to take the ZR-1 to Philadelphia
after visiting New York and to re-
turn to Lakehurst by way of Tren-
ton.
Radio reports received by Com
mander NJ. R. Pierce, commandant
of the station at Lakehurst, from
Commander McCrary on the ship
were that the engines and valves
were behaving with precision and
that the ship would be able to main
tain the schedule planned for her,.
Commander Pierce explained that
the stopping of two of the engines,
which confused land observers along
the Jersey coast, was to test the
valves. The ship was maintaining
an altitude of about 5000 feet, he
said, but If conditions permitted 1t
would come lower when it reached
New York. He said it would salute
the Statue of Liberty at 1880, day
light saving time.
After leaving her hangar at Lake
hurst at 7:17 this morning the ZR-1
went to Highlands. N. j., where she
turned around and returned to the
field. She circled above the hangar
for a short time and then began the
trip that was expected to be contin-
ued in New York and Philadelphia.
At 11:12 o'clock the dirigible pass
ed Sandy Hook, N. j., heading north
toward New York. she was flying
at an altitude of about 1000 feet
| Observers declared one of her six
motors appeared to be shut off.

FEAR GERMANS
Arm FOR War
England and France Get Reports
of Great and Crow
Ing Army.
CANNON FOR LARGE FORCE

Paris.-"Germany is preparing for
a revenge war; a Cologne correspond
ent wires the Paris Journal. How
ever, Germany is not yet quite ready
to make war;"
The Journal points out that Ger
many began casting off the Versailles
treaty and arming itself in October,
1922, three months before the Ruhr
occupation. In the last few months
the reich no longer has tried to hide
its preparations.
The reich has 100000 trained sol
diers, from the reichswehr to the
shupos, but this number is a small
fraction Of its real army, because OF
wholesale violations of the treaty. The
Journal estimates that Germany has
enough cannon to equip from 40 TO
60 divisions with factories working
overtime turning out more ornaments.
London.-The newspapers are devoe g
ing considerable attention to news
item sent out by Reuters dealing with
military preparations in Germany, IN
formation concerning which the news
agency says has reached the British
government The article declares the
British are concerned over the sltua-
ton and it's bearing on the peace OF
Europe.
Recent information from British OBJ
servers in Germany shows that more
men than ever are being trained, and
that the police and military soldiers,
the regimental associations. and the
student organizations are all bigger
than ever.

HIRAM FOR TAX CUT
Also for Bonus and Warns
Against European Traps.

Chicago.-Senator Hiram Johnson
challenged the administration to come
out definitely and say what opportu-
nifty it sees for American action in
Europe when he addressed the Cook
county real estate board here. 1t
was Mr.. Johnson's first important adj
dress since he jumped into the presi-
Dental race.
The senator declared that clouds
of benevolent vagueness" have hung
over the issue and that it is time the
administration came forward to def
mite stand. The European question
was the California senator's chief in
dictment of the Harding Coolidge adj
ministration. He declared openly that
it will be the issue on which he Will
fight out his campaign.
In connection with the bonus, Sena-
tor Johnson said that the matter of
adjusted compensation now consti-
tutes a promise and a solemn pledge.
1t is a faith, he declared, that must
not be broken.
Turning to the question of taxation,
the candidate held that the surplus
is sufficient not only to warrant a
reduction, but to enable the passage
of bonus legislation. He declared that
tax reduction is absolutely required.
He suggested reduction of the tax
burden of the 100000 persons who
pay taxes on incomes Of less than
$4,000.
Reduction of freight rates on farm
products was recommended by the
senator as a means e farm relief.
