BLIMP TORN FROM
MAST BY GALE
Giant Airship Shenandoah
Lands After Seven Hours
Fight With Storm.

Lakehurst, n. 1.-THE Shenandoah,
worlds largest airship and pride of
the United States navy, torn from
her mooring mast by a raging storm.
for seven hours outfought and out
unanswered the bowling gale and was
lowered into her hangar.
She had made the most spectacular
fight against the elements that IN
airship of this variety ever has sue
cessfully made.
Damage Is Not Great.
The ship itself was in good condition
except for the rents in the outer bag
at its PROV, where it had torn loose
from it's cap on the mooring mast.
These rents delayed the descent Of
the big ship to the ground, for as
it nosed downward the 25-mile wind
crowded into the nose and retarded
its progress.
Crew Remains on Board.
The crew and officers, numbering
In all % men, remained on board as
the ground crew of nearly 400 sail
ors and marines walked the ship
across the 1,OOO-foot span to the hang
ar doors.
The moon slipped from behind a
cloud as the ground crew, like ants
beside the huge ship, started to pun
her toward the hangar. She tuggec
in their grasp as if she sought to teal
off on another wild Journey through
the air.
Credit for saving the craft is give1
to Capt. Anton Heinan, German Yep
pelin builder, who was adviser to thu
builders Of the Shenandoah ana Wh'
was aboard it.

DAWES SPEEDS
GE RMAN QUIZ
Make Common Sense King,
He Says; Smokes Pipe
While Speaking.

Paris.-Brushing aside formality
and European diplomacy in a speech
characteristic of both his own person
atty and the country he represents.
Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes started
the PREPARATIONS experts investigation
on its way by stating that the crux
of the question before the committee
was to "help Germany get WELL" say
ing:
ANY common-sense individual can
estimate the distance a well man can
run, but so medical experts gathered
round the bedside of a dying patient
will give 80 different estimates OF how
far he can run if he gets well. The
PREPARATIONS commission and the world,
regarding the question of Germanys
capacity to pay, thus far have been
listening to medical experts. Let US
first help Germany get well."
Americans View.
Emphasizing how he and his col
league, Owen d. Young, viewed the
committee, General Dawes went on to
say it was not their concern al the
moment what Germany's capacity to
pay had been, but her present capacity
and the courage of this committee
to act''
| General Dawes said that "all the
world has seen the economic life OF
Germany ebbing away. With it the
credit of all the European allies sur
fers, because the world realizes that
if the Germans lose their capacity
for work, Germany loses her capacity
to pay reparations.
"The re-eStablishment of German
productivity is the starting point Of
European prosperity he said.
General Dawes then startled the En-
ropean members of the commission b.
privately declaring:
Il propose to work day and nigh
with you, and will take only half al
hour for lunch-in fact, l will go with
out lunch if necessary. shall expec
the commission to do the same"
Smokes While Speaking.
General Dawes had not spoken NOR
than five minutes when he reached
into his pocket and pulled out hi
famous briar pipe, which he puffe
throughout the rest of his speech.
