J., Aug. 5—The Graf Zeppelin has landed on Am- erican soil completing her third crossing of the Atlantic Ocean within a year. i At 5:55 o'clock yesterday after- noon, a speck was sighted 14 miles away by Coxswain William Bishop, lookout man for the dirigible Los Angeles. Half an hour later the huge silver bag poked her shining nose into the sunset over the field maneuvering a salute to the cheer-, ing crowd of 100,000 persons. { The Zeppelin disappeared over the northward, cruised over New| York City and then returned to the Navy reservation where it dropped the landing rqpes at 8:48 p. m. and was dragged to the stub mast in the field pending removal to the huge hangar which will be its home until it departs on a world tour. TL %rip was accomriished in 95 hours and 19 minutes from the time| the Zeppelin left the base 4,175] miles away. The speed averaged| was about 45 miles an hour. i Dr. Leisler Kiep, Manager of the Hamburg-American Line, one of the vassengers aboard the Zeppelin, an- nounced the line has decided to put the whole organization behind the project of building airships. He said the performance of the Zeppe- lin “proves that other ships will be built with stronger engines so that the transatlantic trips will be made with great regularity and speed.” ‘ ——.———— 77 PASSENGERS ABOARD ALASKA FOR THIS PORT SEATTLE, Aug. 5. — Steamer .o Alaska sailed Sunday morning at 9 o'clock for Alaska ports with 204 passengers, first class and 18 steer- age.

Many of his choices were re- garded as politically unpre- cedented., The story of the men and events behind the scenes in these engrossing moves now is told by James L. West, Asso- ciated Press staff writer, in a series of six articles of which the following is the second. ANL COMMERCE POSTS Adams is going to be the new Sec- \retary of the Navy.
