(Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 16.— The Zeppelin ZR-3 sailed across New York City Wed- nesday as a reminder or as a warning of what the next orld war’ may bring. She sailed the entire length of Man- hattan Island, thon calmly turned and sailed back again. Theoretical- ly the city was destroyed. Army and navy folk lke to play at the game of “destroying” cities. Baltimore soon is to be annihilated. But this time it was a German crew and a German captain, sailing in a super-Zep, direct from the Zep- pelin sheds, that demonstrated to the metropolis of the new world that it is not so all fired immune as it sometimes has supposed.» - The American-built' Shenandoah has ot ten been seen In the New York skies but she is a home-bred and only dropped in from New Jersey, 580 there was not the thrill connected with her, visits that New York felt fas dt rubbed its eyes, and saw the big silver whale, with throbbing en- gines, flash by at express thrain speed. An old world visitor, a craft born of dreams of a military greatness which might reach eventually to all the corners of the earth, she sailed majestically along as a harbinger this time of a new day in commer- cial transportation. She differs lit- tle in general contour from the war- time “Zeps:"” Only the big commer- cial cabin up forward seeming to of- fer a new exterior note. German-like, the ZR-3 is much wider of girth ana not so graceful as the trim Shenandoah, which, de- spite her Teutonic origin, was vast- ly Americanized in her upbringing. Despite the potential threat she carried, the ZR-3 appeared a vastly vulnerable thing as she circled above the city, with 4 silvery airplane or two darting about her, like sparrows about a hawk, One shot of a phos- phorous rocket from one of the planes could have sent the giant of the skies tumbling to earth like a flaming meteor. For the Zeppelin came ballooned with hyprogen gas, as ‘volatile as a voleano—the same sort of gas which seared the soul of many a German sailor during the Zeppelin disasters and defents of the great war. . The secret may as well be told just here that the Shenandoah, which is to share her palatial home at Lakehurst with the stranger from across the seas, ran away from the 2R-3 and will not come back until the Zeppelin has been deflated of (Continued on Page Ten.)

Weather conditions were ideal for the flight, the day having dawned warm and clear. : The giant airship, sailing in a Serene and unhurried fashion, was headed for San Pedro, there to ‘fly over the ships of the Unite® States fleet. The coursre’ then was to lie inland to Los Angeles city and to Pasadena, according to plans announced by — officials prior to the start. The coast route Was to be followed to Santa Bar- barra and San Francisco, ft being expected that the bay city would be reached before sunset. The remainder of the flight will follow the coast to Portland, where a turn inland may be made. Pres- ent plans, taking into considera- tion the probable late arrival of the Shenandoah at Seattle, call for a flight oVer that city on the re- turn trip. The dirigible probably will ‘go directly to the mooring mast at Camp Lewis upon arrival in the north. Officials pointed out that the route of the Shenandoah as an- nounced was subject to possible change due to weather conditions. ‘The dirigible’s course may be al- tered from time to time to escape unfavorable winds and storms.

Hughes, in an address last night, declared that victory for the LaFollette party would result in the destruc- tion of prosperity in the United States, Speaking before the largest Re- publican rally of the present cam- paign, he urged support of Coolidge and Dawes as the means of warding off “a serious disaste: The sec- id the Democratic party not cope with the situation as it seemed probable that in this election it “will be virtually cut to pieces in the west and honeycomb- ed in the east.” The opening portion of his ad- dress was devoted to an appeal for support of Col. Theodore Roosevelt for governor. Reiterating his former assertion that the La Follette plan for a constitutional amendment to per- mit congress to overrule the Unit- ed States supreme court is stre- volutionary,” — Secretary Hughes declared the rights now guaranteed to individuals by the constitution would be at the mercy of congress should such an amendment be adopted. He upheld the activties of the Harding-Coolidge administration in detail, defending it against charges made dudring the campaign by Mr. Davis and Mr. LaFollette. The address which was broadcast by radio stations in New York and Washington, also took cognizance of criticisms made by John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee, of the economic and foreign policies of the Coolidge administration.
