FRIEDR1CHsHAFEN, July A.

FRIEDRICHSHAFE July A.
he builders of the new giant Yep
lin, which is nearing completion
~ Tere, intend to inaugurate with it a
Negular transatlantic passenger
n and mail air service. Two or three
= sister ships will also be built if
financial backing for the project can
be found.
Due to its enforced idleness fol-
lowing the war, the Zeppelin COM
pany is not now rich, and the LIZ
1877, as the new ship is denoted, has
been built largely by popular sub
scription, 100000 of the total cost
of 100000 gold marks having been
contributed in small sums from all
over Germany.
Need Three Ships
1t is figured that with three ships
regular and efficient transocean
service can be maintained. There
probably would be one replacement
ship. 1t is understood that New
York would be the American ter
minal, and Paris or Berlin, or both,
the European terminal.
Dr. Hugo Eckener, who succeeded
the late Count Zeppelin as head Of
the Zeppelin Company, of course is
a great believer in aircraft lighter
than air, and despite the compare
lively heavy cost he thinks the Yep
pelin machine holds out the best
prospect of successful long distance
commercial aviation.
Though the new Zeppelin, which
is ITO feet long and the largest yet
built, has now been equipped for a
long test flight and therefore fitted
to carry only about twenty passen-
gers with a crew of about forty, yet
it's carrying capacity could be en-
larged to take as many as seventy
passengers and some tons of mail
across the Atlantic.
Could Carry 800 Persons
For short flight of several hours
duration the ship could take 300
passengers, it is stated.
Under normal conditions it would
take about two days to cross the At
lantic, and the airship could start
back in three days. Thus four days
would be cut from the time needed
to cross the Atlantic by liner.
It is expected that the new ship
will be ready to leave the hangar on
July 20. There will be short trial
flights for a week or so, after which
the ship will attempt two long trial
flights, at the end of which prepara-
lions will be made for a trip to
America.
The start is expected in the latter
part of August. DR.. Eckener has
already flown the Atlantic with the
Los Angeles.

Army.
The proposal authorizing the rank
of general for the chief of staff
of the Army, the present encumbent
of which is Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sum-
neral, is most likely to be acted on
during the approaching session OF Con-.
greSs. This has been urged for some
time and it has also been recommended
that the corps area and department
commanders be given the rank of lieu
tenant general, it being felt that their
duties are commensurate with the
holding of that rank. 1t is explained
that it is necessary to provide that the
chief of staff shall take rank above all
officers of the Navy, except the chief
of naval operations, with an earlier
date of appointment to such office be-
cause of the law providing rank OF
admiral for three other officers of the
Navy while in command of major fleets
of the Navy, three naval officers hold
ing such rank at present. These three
naval officers are AdmiralS Henry A
Wiley, commander -in-chief of the
United States fleet; Mark L. Bristol.
commander in chief of the Asiatic
fleet; and William v. Pratt, comman-
der-in- chief of the battle fleet.
1t is felt that it is proper to give
the chief of staff the rank of general
while he holds that Office. Gen. sum
neral is the senior major general in
the Army. but it is possible that some
future chief of staff may be an officer
far down on the list of major gen.
erals. Under the present laws relat-
ing to the Navy. if captain was ap-
pointed chief of naval operations. he
would automatically take rank above
every officer in the Navy, and it is felt
that the same provision should be made
applicable to the chief of staff OF the
Army, who holds the same relative
position in the military service.
Despite the fact that the appoint
ment last week of Col Edward A.
Kreger to be judge advocate general
of the Army with the rank of major
general for a term of four years be-
ginning November 16, as the successor
of Maj. Gen. John A. Hull, would indi-
