japanese Ship Trade Menaced

SHANGHAI, Sept. II. - A new
passenger and freight service oper-
ating Chinese owned vessels is being
planned between China and Korea
and Japan. Officials of the ministry
Of communication are investigating
prospects of such service, apparently
with the idea of cutting in on the
trade of Japanese ships.

Yep PROGRESS
HELD BACK BY
WAR SUSPICION
Eckener Encounters SnagS
in Building of New
DirigibIeS.
The Is the ninth chapter Of the life
story Of Or. Hugo Eekener. master
navigator Of the Graf Zeppelin.

When DR.. Eckener returned to
Friedrichshafen from the war, po-
litical and economic conditions were
at low ebb. the 10000 Zeppelin en-
ployes, including war cripples and
women, were idle, revolution was
sweeping many German states, old
values had been destroyed.
But within two months Of ethe
armistice, plans were set in motion
70 fly across the Atlantic with the
LIZ, ship whose delivery to the
German government had been can
celed. Meanwhile, preliminary
work was started for the first post
war commercial airship.
With the death OF Count Zeppe-
lin, the affairs of the Zeppelin
Foundation. holding concern for the
airship building company, for May
bach motors, for Dornier airplanes,
for Delage, the commercial COM
pany, for the gear plant, for the
fabric works and the rest, had been
committed to three trustees. of
which Baron Won Gemmingen,
nephew Of the count, was chairman;
Eckener and Baron Won BaSsus be-
ing other members.
Eckener Takes Lead
OF the triumvirate that came into
control at the time when Zeppelin
had grown to be one OF the great
powerful corporations Of Germany,
Hugo Eckener already was looming
as the dominant figure.
The plan to fly the LIZ to the
United States was the subject of
considerable debate in the Zeppe-
lin councils.
While the Zeppelin people them
selves knew what the ships would
do, the world did not appreciate it
because operations had been large
ly shrouded in the secrecy of war
time. A flight across the Atlantic
would be daring stroke and a con-
vincing demonstration.
On the other hand, would Amer
lea receive the ship? The war was
newly over. Would such flight be
resented-taken as challenge-its
purpose misunderstood? Would
such a flight embarraSs the new re-
publican government OF Germany?
Government Hats Flight
While the debate continued, the
secret got out and the matter set
tied itself. Government orders came
in, forbidding them to take the
ship from its hangar.
The British had begun to build
airships during the war. using as
a model Zeppelin which had land
ed behind the French lines and had
been seized intact. The British R-33
was launched.
Then came the flight Of the R-34
from England to New York and re-
turn in the summer of 1919. The
men at Friedrichshafen blocked in
their ambition to span the ocean,
went ahead with their other project,
the completion of the Bodensee, first
postwar commercial ship.
Work on the Bodensee was pushed
during the spring Of 1919 in spite
Of political and economic conditions
that continued to be highly unfavor-
able. BY the end of August it was
ready.

TAXlDERMIST BALKS AT
STUFFING LIVE LION
Nero Executed" so Expert Can Go
on With His Task.

BIZ United Press
SAN MATEO, Cal, Sept. 27.--E.
j. Lockwood, taxidemist, was pleased
when he received an order to stuff"
a large lion.
How ever, his pleasure gave way
to grave concern when the lion ar
rived. He decided the big cat, which
had long claws and wicked looking
teeth. would object to being stuffed.
Joe Darcy, proprietor of a sport
ig goods store, volunteered to make
Nero peaceful" He did, with two
wcll-placed shots.
Nero was executed in the middle
of city street, before a crowd of
several hundred persons who never
before had witnessed lion hunt"

Dec. 1 the ship made eighty cross
country flights, two of them being
to Stockholm.
Garry $500 Passengers
Two or three times week they
would land at Berlin, take on a
new load of passengers and make
a two-hour sightseeing trip over
the German capital, so that a total
of 103 flights had been made by
Dec. l. Within the three months
they had carried $500 passengers,
1900 pounds of mail and express.
A second ship, the Nordstern, to
be sister ship to the Bodensee, just
was being completed.
Again the future looked bright fer
airships.
Then the blow fell.
Orders came on Dec. from the
inter-allied air commission, acting
under the Versailles treaty, for the
cessation of operations, the surren-
der of the ships and the abandon
ment of the Zeppelin works.
1t was just year after the arm1s-
tice. The chanceleries Of Europe
we're still nervous. This resumption
of flying operations at FriedrichS-
hafen looked suspicious.
Feared German Plot
It might be purely the peaceful
commercial operation that DR.. Eek
ener said it was, the diplomats
argued, or it might have sinister
possibilities.
The decree of the allies was final.
The Nordstern was finished and
turned over to France, the Bod
ensee to Italy.
Once thoroughly convinced that
no argument could change the sit
uation, Eckener set off one morn
ing to fly the Bodensee to Rome.
With characteristic spirit, he de-
cided to make its last flight under
German colorS a final demonstra-
ton of the value of his ships.
He flew it out over Zurich, on to
Berne, Geneva, and across over
Avignon, France, down the Medi-
terranean, across Napoleon's place
of exile at Elba. on over Corsica,
back up to Rome, making the 825-
mile flight in twelve and one-halt
hours.
1t was a gallant gesture, but the
trip wrote fms on the BodenSee op-
erations. The Italians flew the ship
occasionally, but Italian operators
favored the semi-rigid type. While
the Bodensee is still in existence
today, after ten yeaEs, 1t has re-
manned largely in its hangar.

Built for America

Lloyd George, then premier OF
England, had dropped the sugges-
ton that inasmuch as the two Yep
pelins awarded the United States as
PREPARATIONS had been destroyed by
the crews, perhaps America would
be interested in having new Yep
pelin built by Germany.
The word was passed to Wash
linton. President Harding approved
the plan. The arrangements were
quickly completed.
The projected disnantling Of the
Zeppelin works was postponed. They
might remain long enough to build
one more ship.
This was built under the name
OF the IRIS by DR.. Arnstein under
direction of DR.. Eckener. 1t was
flown across the Atlantic in 1924 and
delivered to the United States navy.
AS an American ship, it was chris
tened the Los Angeles and still is
in service.

Airmen Are Exhausted
After Flight.

Cleveland = After establishing q
world record for fueling flights, Pilots
Roy Mitchell and Byron K. Newcomb
descended to the Cleveland, airport
here. The official timing gave. them
a record of TIA hours and SO seconds.
The fliers landed a half hour after
breaking the record. The former en-

utes and one second. 81 ". 3.teiiU
Exhausted by more than a week in
the air and virtually deaf by their,
long flight with the motor roaring
steadily, the pilots were taken from
the endurance plane and hurried to
the Offices of the hackers. The crowd
following the fliers, broke into the
hangar of the Stewart Aircraft cor.
poration, where they TAXED their
plane, and six persons were trampled
by horses of mounted policemen as
they held back thousands who pressed
j.. near the doors Of the hangar.
The endurance plane was demolish-
ed by the crowd as 1t stood before the
hangar. Sovenir hunters ripped the
fuselage and wings to shreds, tearing
off pieces by handsful as others fought
to get near the ship.
