 Greetings to Alaska:
 Alaska, the land of ronance, poetry and entertainment. of god, snow and ice, l greet you.
 You have your seas and bays with the finest fishes, your moun- tains and valleys with the most beautiful birds.
 You have smallest mines with the richest ore and the swiftest streams with the most healthful waters.
 You have the longest day and the shortest night, and you have the greatest number of hours With the sun shining in your sky.
 You have the smallest army and police force and yet there is greater feeling of peace and freedom.
 Your property holdings are im- mense. your population and houses are small in number. you are the most costly field, and yet your returns are the most profitable.
 "The poets and inventors. as well as merchants and traders. arc equally interested in you.
 You are tho cheapest and yet the most precious gem worn by Uncle Sam in his radiant crown.
 "For all this | greet the most interesting, the most romantic and beautiful Alaska.
 T admire your bays and moun- .ains; l wonder at your birds and fishes l marvel at your ores and streams; l greet your church. os and schools; l greet your stu dents and laborers; l greet your high officials, your clergymen and teachers; l greet your romance, and your freedom.
 Alaska, may you prosper"

hurst. The motors, it is said, will
need only minor adjustments every
1000 hours because new Maybach
roller bearings used throughout the
motors reduce the wear and tear on
the rotation surfaces.
"Dlue Gas" hydrocarbonated
gas Is used. Thus the problem OF
carrying heavy liquid fuel is large
ly solved. The Graf Zeppelin also
carries benzine which is fed to the
motors in mixture with the gas.
The motor can be switched from
gaseous to liquid fuel In a few Sec
onds without interrupting the oper-
alton Of the motor or impairing its
power.
The weight Of "Blue Gas" was
purposely fixed little heavier than
air so that 1t will drain by gravity
from the storage bags into car
buretors and because fuel consump-
ton will tighten the ship slightly
and counteract an equally slight loss
of buoyancy through inevitable

Plans for the grounding and

made several days ago.
Tho dirigible viii be housed In
the large hangar where the Los An
geles and five army blimps also are
stored. Officials said the hangar
would be plenty large enough ia
accommodate the ship.
No difficulty is expected in ground
ing the zeppelin. Officials explained
the task would be similar to that
entailed In landing the Los Angeles
which has become routine task
to the ground crew stationed here
Not Difficult
THE handling and the landing OF
the Graf Zeppelin will not be any
more difficult than docking the Los
Angeles" one Of the officers said
''and we have force of men well
trained in that work. The only diff
ference will be that we will need
more man power but the method
will be the same"
Three hundred cubic feet Of n.y.

Despite feverish excitement which

running blocks on either side. The
