SANCTIONS F|Zz[E
WITHOUT SUPPORT
u. S. and Britain Could
Have Stopped Him, but
He Held Upper Hand
BY LESLIE EICIIEL
Central Press Staff Writer


Economic sanctions have fizzled.
There are two reasons:
1. To apply sanctions would cause
cutting off business profitable to
large corporations, such as oil COM
panies. coil companies are powerful
politically
2. To apply sanctions fully would
mean as much harm, in the end, to
the country placing the embargo as
to the nation upon which it is placed.
Disrupting the worlds credit stops
trade-and the modern nation cannot
exist without trade. Countries which
can be affected by sanctions have far
less trade to lose than countries which
sclap on embargoes)

REICH AIRSHIP
SEEKING NEW
EEDH0N0R
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
NEW YORK, April % QN.SO.
Two and one-haH days to Europe
by ZeppelinI
That's the big idea behind the
projected flight early next month
by the new $3,200,000 Zeppelin,
the Hindenburg, from Frankfurt
on-Main. Germany, to Lakehrust,
NJ
If this flight is successful. as is
confidently anticipated by Ger
man business men, the linden
burg will make 20 crossing of the
North Atlantic this summer. The
10 round-trips of the Hindenburg
are scheduled between Frankfurt
on-Main and Lakehurst, beginning
about the middle Of May and last
ing until late in october.
Westbound the Hindenburg pro-
poses to make the voyage In three
days; eaStbound two and one-half
days.
Fares For Voyage
One-way passenger fare will be
$500; round trip 1920. The rate
for the first voyage from Frank
furt to LakehurSt will be 500 adj
ditional. Passage for the initial
trip has been booked completely.
Fifty passengers and crew Of 40,
with DR.. Hugo Eckner, Germany'S
Grand Old Man of the Air." in
command, will be aboard the Hin
denburg on its maiden voyage to
America.
Although the United States
Navy Is no longer operating dirigi-
bleS, it will have an observer on
board. He will be Lieut.. Com
mander 8. E. Peck, Navy lighter
than-air expert, who is now in
Germany studying technical prob
lens of dirigibleS.
Added interest is given the
flight because shortly after the
German Zeppelin leaves Frank
furt, Great Britain will make a bid
for prestige in surface ships. Bri-
tain'S Super-liner Queen Mary will
sail on May a from Southampton
to New York on q trip that is ex-
pected to make marine history.
The Queen Mary was built by
Great Britain (Which gave up on
the dirigible after the destruction
Of the R10D for the purpose of
regaining Atlantic speed laurels.
Such laurels were long held by the
British but were wreSted from her
successfully by the German ships,
Bremen and Europa, the Italian
Liner Rex and finally the French
liner Normandie.

HOW AMERICA
BROKE BERLIN
DEBARED

NEW YORK, April 23.-The
story Of how American code ex-
perts, capitalizing on q mistake Of
two German army officers, fig.
ured out the key to the enemy
code system eight days before the
start Of the German offensive in
the spring of 1918 was disclosed
today by Maj. Gen. Dennis E.
Nolan, commander Of the Second
Corps Area.
General Nolan will retire at the
end Of the month. He is the sec.
ond highest ranking major gen.
eral in the Army, and during the
war had command Of the Military
Intelligence Section Of the A. E. F.,
which directed all espionage and
counter espionage activities.
Tells Of Code Work
In an interview, he revealed for
the first time a few stories Of the
code and cipher sections. He said:
'NO army ever goes into an Of
fensive in modern war without
changing all its codes. To use
the old codes would be too dan
RerouS as the other fellows
might be reading 1t. That is q
fundamental rule, and 1t has al
ways been q sign of . coming Of
fensive when q new code had
been put In operation, and you
are always watching for 1t be
cause that Is one Of the indica-
tiOnS.
ION March Fl, 1918, the Ger
man offensive began. Ten days
before that offensive began they
put into operation a new code
all along the Western Front.
They had talked about it q great
deal and made no pretense Of
cOncealing that offensive.
ASKED FOR OLD CODE
Son the thirteenth Col. Arthur
L. COnger brought Major Frank
Norman up to see me. He was
in o great state Of excitement.
He had just gotten message
from . German division staff
officer, who, having received q
message in the new code, sent
back q message in the old code,
saying, Please repeat your mes,
sage in the old code as the new
code books haven't arrived at
this headquarters The question
was whether the higher staff,
the corps staff, would make the
mistake Of complying with this
request, and our fellows were
just waiting and watching every
message that came in to get that
answer. They did make the mis-
take.
cit was a pretty long message.
It was long enough to give an
important number Of word

important thing was that it

General Nolan, the code sections
of the three allied armies worked
on every message until by March
81, the day the offensive was
launched, they were able to read
the code used in the battle pretty
nearly as rapidly as the German
divisions themselves.

On Friday, October 80, at West Not
tingham the maroon gridders once
again bowed to the scarlet of r. M. Z.
Prep Just as last year, the cadet
team was heavier and more experience
ed. In fact, they showed themselves
the equal in every way of any oppon-
ent the Academy team has met this
season. But the experience of pre-
vious games finally began to bear
fruit, the secondary defense line was
far more naive, and the fight display
ed all season showed signs of organi-
cation.
p. NJ C. scored twice, once in the
first period and once in the third.
Nottingham blocked a cadet punt in
the End period and received on the
enemy's Is yard line. The maroon
fullback, Jay Emrey. needed just six
trys at the cadet line to score. AS the
try for punt failed. the final score was
13 to g.
For Nottingham, the defensive work
of Emrey, Burkins, and Yerkes at the
guard positions, and Capt. Saltsman's
able blocking deserve mention. Wheel
er, Nottingham's left half-back, sup
piled the prettiest run of the day with
a 40 yard dash of his own right tackle
