AVOIDS LARGER
CITIES IN FRANCE

Paris. Oct. 12.-(By A. p.)--The ZE-3
sped across France today at about so
miles an hour and at such great
altitude that only few persons saw
her. particularly as she stecrcd clear
of the larger towns. The airship was
only reported twice i'm France near the
east frontier and her wireless signals
were caught az she passed close to
Bordeaux departing from Franco. The
dirigible was sighted first at $40 A. NJ.
over Belfort. a short distance west of
the German-Swiss frontiers along
Eva noes eastern boundary. She then
turned slightly southwark toward Bor-
deaux in sight of the Alps and was seen
again near Fontbeliard. 80 miles to the
west flying high and fast. 1t is csti-
mated that over France and Switzcr-
land she maintained an average alti-
tude of 5000 feet, and she crossed
France in less than six hours.
The next sign of life for the French
from the transatlantic voyager came
when the Bordeaux wireless station
caught the airship's location signals
as she was leavieg French soil for the
Bay of Biscay, where she began her
great sea fight to Lakehurst.
The ZR-3 flew over Basic. Switzer-
land. soon after she left Friodrichs-
haven. In this section the fog was
quite dense. She followed the Rhine
until opposite Belfort. when she turned
westward and gradually swung slightly
to the south. AS the Zeppelin's speed
would indicate. she followed a fairly
Greet line from Belfort to the Bor-
deaux region. probably passed over the
most sparsely settled country and ut
such height that most of the many
thousands who watched for her failed
to get glimpse of the airship.

no box III. for 121 is the call from

There really was a fire. Sparks from
the chimney on the home Of Louis.
Marquis on Union street set the roof
abIaze, but 1t was extinguished with
. stream from garden hose. Some
one near the Hathaway shirt factory
saw the blaze and pulled box 124. at
the corner Of Leighton street and AL

For some reason the box did not
work properly and the alarm sounded
three times l21. When the box went
around the second time the drivers at
the central station jumped to their
places and the firemen from outside be-
gan to come In. But where were they
to go? That was question. They
had no way of telling whether there
was fire in the north, south. east or
west part of the city or whether there
was any FIRE at all.
AS soon as the question was solved
