GIANT AIRSHIP IRIS READY
TO MAKE NONSTOP FLIGHT
ACROSS ATLANTIC TO u. S.

terial. AS this country had in the
meantime entered upon a plan Of
airplsne development it was accord
ingly requested that the German
government be ordered to replace
the two rigid airplanes to which the
United States was entitled, by sim
gle ship of the same volume as the
two which were destroyed. This was
first objected to but final agreement
was reached that the United States
should receive as replacement for
the two ships to which she was en-
titled and which had been destroyed,
one large rigid ship of the very lat
est construction of which the Ger
mans might be capable. 1t was spe-
Gifted that this should be of civil
type and not q military one. The
ZR-3 is therefore really the worlds
first commercial dirigible.
Details of Construction.
The ZR-3 has a length of 656
feet, a diameter of 9O66 feet and
height of 101.6 feet. 1t is de-
signed to be inflated with hydrogen
gas and has a capacity of nearly
100000 feet. 1t is capable OF
transporting at least twenty pass
engers and liberal cargo for dis
tances as far as across the Atlantic
or farther. The ship has five power
cars each equipped with 12-cyl-
inder, 400 horse power motor. The
passenger accommodations are said
to resemble a cross between a rail-
The main room is divided into five
separate compartments each OF
which has two sofas oppositely ar
ranged as in Pullman car. The
sofas are six and a half feet long
and each double berth section ac-
day tables can be placed between the
sofas. In this remarkable cabin are
kitchens, psntries, storerooms and
toilets and lavatories for men and
women.
The total lift of the ship, weight
pounds. Weight of the engines and
fuel and fuel tanks, ballast tanks
and special equipment is $3.50
pounds. The useful load of which
the ship is capable of carrying which
all the lift after the dead
weight of the ship and equipment is
deducted is about $4,000 pounds.
This includes gasoline, oil, crew,
passengers and freight With the
normal fuel supply of 81 tons of
gasoline and "a tons of oil the |

Zepplin Fought in Civil War.
Aside from the description of the |
features of construction |
and accommodations on the giant di-
rigible many stories bordering on
the human interest variety have
come to light in connection with the |
flight of the ZR-3 to America. 1t
Is now recalled that the late Count
zepplin, inventor of the dirigible,
made his first balloon ascension in

| The ZR-3, the giant dirigible built
by the Zepplin company at Fried
richshsfen, Germany, for the United
States navy will start on it's non
stop flight across the Atlantic to
Lakehurst, N. j., Sunday or Mon
day, October or 6, provided the
weather over the ocean is favorable
at the time, it is announced by DR..
Hugh Eckner, director of the Yep
plin company and commander of the
great airship. The American navy
department has arranged for three
warships to take up stations at diff
ferent points on the Atlantic for the
purpose of advising as to weather
conditions.
1t is estimated that from the
hangar on Lake Constance where the
ZR-3 was built to Lakehurst, N. j.,
the distance is about $500 miles
and it is figured that the trip should
be made in less than 100 hours. The
L-59 built for warfare and about
the same dimensions as the ZR-3
made flight in 1917 of 1920 miles
in four days to the German South
African colonies with load of Is
tons. All told this airship made
more than 1900 flights and was
eventually scrapped.
The ZR-3 has been given several
trial flights prior to starting on her
across the sea trip, the last of which
was completed last Friday. On this
trial the ship cruised for abeut "a
hours, sweeping around Germany in
a great circle, spending the night
over the Baltic and called for her
passage over 200 German towns. The
trip was highly satisfactory and upon
her return to the hangar work was
started ct once on preparations for
the flight to America. During the
trial flight the ship was caught in a
heavy rain and the huge envelope
absorbed several tons of water.
The ZR-3 will start her trip to
America with 11,100 gallons of gas
oline tucked away inside her ribs.
This will weigh, at the start approx
imately % tons, and while it is es-
timgted the distance to Lakehurt
is about $500 miles the supply of
gasoline will take the dirigible pro-
badly 400 or 500 miles further. En-

LANSING, Mich, August 13.-in
telegram from South Sudbury, Mass,
which was verified yesterday by
Charles Deland. Secretary OF state,
Henry Ford withdrew his name from
the Republican senatorial primary
race in Michigan. Earlier in the day
Deland had stated that Fords name,
with others to be certified to go on
the primary ballot. would be mailed
to- the county clerks at o'clock in the
afternoon. The telegram from FORD
was received shortly before that time
In the message Ford said that his
name had been placed on the ballot
by parties unknown to him, and that
while he failed to understand their
motive. he believed that it could not
be good one" He said he re-
pudiated the whole undertaking and
was in no sense candidate for any
office at this time.
The filing of petitions last Satur-
day to put Ford's name on the ballot
marks the fifth time he had had his
name proposed for an elective offco
on the Michigan ballot without his
making formal announcement of
his candidacy. and this is the first
time he has withdrawn.
