repaired today to permit the dirigi-
ble's departure either Wednesday or
Thursday under its own power for
its Friedrichshafen hangar.
Two Of its five motors were placed
in commission yesterday, both upon

with the likelihood the trip home
would be made with only four engines
functioning.
Investigation of the causes of the
engine failures of Friday has not les
sened the mystery attached to them.
Three crankshaftS were broken clean
and sharp against the joint where
they entered the bodies of the motor.
There was no evidence of previous
weakness.
Jim Filing, mechanic brought
from Essen, declared. regarding the
first two motors to go dead:
They might as we'll have taken
an axe to these. I am sure I don't
understand what happened to them. "
He added, however, We will get this
music box singing within two or three
days."
1T is peculiar and strange" one Of
the French mechanics said.
Those In charge continued to dccry
charges Of sabotage. The very word
was taboo at the hangar. please
don't say that. it will make us look
SO foolish" said Captain Hans Flem-
ming.
The motors just died out; that's
ALL"
Two new motors for the Graf Zep-
pelin arrived today from Friedrich
shafen and mechanics immediately
began work on installing them.
The crew of the Graf Zeppelin
thought it might be possible for the
airship to leave Cuers on Thursday,
in time for her to reach Friedrich
shafcn by Friday.

Of this morning when another tram
sient appeared over the tops Of some
box cars and accosted him.
The new conner ordered Lauty to
take off his coat and vest and backed
up the demand by producing pistol.
Lauty obeyed.
The next order was for Lauty to
take off his pants-and it was too
much. Lauty refused and grapplcd
with the man. who thereupon shot
him three times in the abdomen.
His fury unabatcd by the wounds,
however. Lauty persisted in the
defense Of his pants and the two
rolled from the flat car with Lauty
on top. He obtained the pistol but,

Kennett. Mo-, May co. -R - An
army of worknen lost terrific fight
with flood waters of the st. Francis
river when the levee crumbled about
seven miles northwest of Kennett last
midnight. The break was expected to
il1undate approximately $4,000 acres
Of farm land. No towns were endan-
gered.
Between 700 and 800 men had been
working desperately during the day
and night along stretch of levee IA
miles long. to prevent crevaSsc.
While about 800 men were working
at Millhouse levce, considered the
weakest point, there was a rumbling
sound and q roar as flood waters
swept away the dirt barrier and
poured into fertile farms, running all
crops in its path.
Heard Miles Away

was heard for miles, and farmers
were awakened In ting - make prep
arations to leave thes ones. The
crevasse had wideneds 0 feet this
morning.
Nearly every man in Kennett was
on duty yesterday or last night at
some point along the lcvee.
