' By.\"x-g““{'om\: September 22.—So far as the New York publishers and of- ficers of the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants’ Union are concerned the strike of pressmen on the New York dailies, begun at mid- night last Monday, is ended. The publishers last night signed an agreement for members of the inter- national ‘unfon to man the presses, deserted by bers of the local Web Pressmen’s Union, No. 25, which dissolved through revocation of its charter. Strikers Jeer at Terms. m, However, the members of the out- lawed union may have the oppor-- tunity of returning to work with in- ternational unfon cards and they wlil meet tomorrow to decide finally their™ course of action in this re- spect. When the terms were first made known to them last might the 2,000 members of the old union hoot- ed and jeered and shouted that they would not go back George L.

Dirigibles in ‘the past, even the fa- mous war-time Zeppelins of ‘tie Ger- mans, have not performed to the com- plete satisfaction of a certain aero- nautical group. Thero was the ZR-2 disaster in England and the Roma ex- ploston in this country, besides loss to Bovernments of smaller craft. But the ZR-1 is out to show the world there is a future for vessels of her type, and she fully realizes that critical eyes are watching every move she makes. For that reason her com- manding officer, Commander Frank M. McCrary. who also is In charge of the naval alr station at Lakehurst, N. J., is not taking any chances by sending up his ship in the face of storms and turbulent winds—at least at present. Hellum Vital Factor. There is one feature about the ZR-1 that every one agrees is going to play @ large part in the ship's future suc- cess—helium, a non-explosiye, non-in- flammable gas with about nine-tenths the lifting power of the deadly hydro. gen. Hellum is found in the natural gas of certain fields of Texas and Kansas, but is not found in commer- cial quantities in any other country of the world. This fact places the odds greatly In favor of the United States for future development and | construction of lighter-than-air craft. The United States Navy ZR-1 is 680 feet long, or 20 feet longer than her German-built sister, the ZR-3.9 The diameter is 78 feet and the height 96 | feet. 'With her gas capacity of 3,150,- 000 cubic feet she can lift about 130, 000 pounds, although her dead weight is about 75,000 pounds. The six 300- horsepower engines can develop a speed for the craft of about 70 miles ! an hour and she could cruise for more than 4,000 miles without stopping. To ‘man ‘this ‘glant airship a crew of 9 officers and 22 enlisted men fis re- quired. All-Amerioan Produst. ; This imposing airship wis destgned’ by the Navy Department, fabricated by the naval aireraft factory of Phil- adelphia, assembled and erected at the naval air station, Lakehurst, N. J. thoroughly American product. Of course, the Zeppelin design was fol- lowed, but American aeronautical in- genuity was able to make scores of improvements, with the ‘result that the Navy believes her eraft occupies the foremost position in the aerostat division of flying. The ZR-1 has a framewsrk of dura- lumin metal, a composition ef alumi- num, copper and manganese, Which provides a tensile strength of mild steel, but is only one-third of its welght. Twenty gas bags, Inflated, comprise the lifting power, and ‘these huge drums are arranged in ‘the framework according to size.

REBIRTH OF JAPAN'S CITIES INSPIRING Residents Manifest Keen De- sire to Rear City Beautiful on Ruins of Old. By tlio Associnted Press. TOKIO, September 21.—The tenacity and resolution with which the people of Tokio are devoting themselves to the task of rebuilding a larger, more substantial and more beautiful city manifest a faith in 1ife and the future as inspiring to the foreigmer as the havoc wrought by the earthquake was eppalling. In spite of the fact that tremors continue to make wooden bulldings creak and those of masonry throb at intervals day and night, new habita- tions are springing up all over the city. Vast one-story barracks of tim- ber ‘and ocorrugated fron are being erected by socldiers and workmen in the parks and other open spaces. The most spectacular drama inci- dent to Tokio's rebirth, however, is to be seen fn the tiny temporary homes that have sprung from the ashes of the old ones. There is hardly 8 city block without its little family group throwing up whatever remains from the framework of a former dwelling to support tin and charred metal until time and fortune provide a better abode. Some of these improvised domicles are no. lurger than piano boXes. Rellet Workers Busy. Rellef workers are passing out & quart of rice dally to each family. Other relief agencies pass out pickles and others curds. Then come the water wagons which before the quake were used to sprinkle the streets. They now are used to deliver water for domestic uses. The universal Japanese custom of daily bathing has not been aban- doned, although the water supply Is Rot abundant sometimes and there 19 not much privacy. Here and there are the soldlers on constant guard. The only memblance of authority, though, i the fixed bayonet, which ®erves as a symbol rather than a threat. Soldlers in- terfere with nobody, not even at night. Most of the troops are work- ing at telephone and telegraph con- struction, transporting supplies, oclearing away rubbish or at con- struetion work. The main 6treets are rapidly being cleared of debris. Few able-bodied men are ailing themselves of the service of street cars, which are run- ning in endless streams, most of the ople preferring to move afoot. Some ‘aro pulling carts, sharing the burdens of their enfeebled bullocks and horses when the loads are over- heavy. Motor Trucks Rush Food. Motor trucks, laden with provisions, construction materials and transport- ing nurses, rush hither and thither throughout the day, enlivening the scene. Twice daily ‘trucks leave the Imperial Hotel with trunks of for- eigners which the embassies are ship- ping out. No distinctions are being shown in this work or in issuing food. All nationalities are being treated alike. At the same wharf where the for- eign exodus is going on are long lines of Japanese with all their worldly possessions tied on their backs, moving slowly on barges out to Japanese ships. It is estimated one ‘million persons have left Tokio and Yokohama by various routes since the quake. Ruins continue to smoulder, send- ing up an ashy dust. A hazy glow at night marks the spot where bodies are being burmed. At every corner at night may be seen a volunteer watchman with a paper lantern in his hand, guarding against further fires. Sometimes the flash of a bayonet 18 seen, but a foreigner, passing, has only to say: “Sayonara’™ which is Japanese for “Good-bve, and pass on to what he calls his home with safety as complete as in normal times. Tsuneo Matsudaira, director of the Furopean-American ' department of the foreign office, and Rear Admiral Yamanashi, representing Premier Ya. mamoto, visited the Huron, flagship of the United States Asiatic fleet, in Yokohama harbor today and express- ed to Admiral Anderson the apprecia- tion of the Japanese government and people for the assistance given by the American government and peo- ple.

Franks, jr., son of the first. vice president and Yreasurer of e Foundation, arrested yesterday having received bonds stolen Cincinnati in November, 1922. His urrest followed that of Wil- liam McAvoy &nd Hugh and John MacEwan, who were gecretly in- dioted last Tuesday charged with having sold the bonds. Franks re- fused to make 437 statement.

Milholland, battle-scarred republican of New York city. Bncountering the veteran, who served as secretary to the republican national committee way back fn President Harrison's time, and who enjoys intimate friendships with “Uncle Jim” Watson of Indiana, Jules Bache and other leaders of the G. 0. P, just s he was entering the Hotel Lafayette after a visit to the White House, greetings were passed and questfofis asked relative to his call on President Coolidge. “I am a great admirer of the former Governor of Massachusetts,” exclaim- ed the New Yorker. “Deep down in my heart 1 want to see him nomi- nated to succeed himself, so I lost no time to let him know that there is one man in the United Btates who can run oft with the great honor for the asking.” “No, it _is mot ‘Hy’ Johnson, Gov. Pinchot, Secretary Hughes, Jim Wa 8on or any of them,” laughed ‘Judg Miiholland, as he lit a cigar. “It is John Coolidge of Plymouth Neck, Vt the most outstanding American wit| in the sacred confines of our incom parable Union today. Why, man, whi he did swearing in his eon as M Harding’s successor, and the delight- ful, informal way in which he did it was_absolutely unique—inspirin |all real Americans. I do not be iiv is _yet realized how large the ices he rendered by thus simply ing aside all the formalities tha grown up around the inaugura ceremony. He was well within rights, for Daniel Webster long si proved that.” “Of course.” continued the fa Inez Milholland, who virtually sacrt ficed her life While campaigning in 1916 for woman suffrage, “I wouldn't jmpose on President Coolidge's time, but I would like to have said “Bless your dad's dear spolled heart.” “There are few pictures of an Amer- joan that I care to contemplate more than that blessed father's form sitting on the slde of the bed at % o'clook fn the morning With ome ‘gailus’ over his shoulder and his coat reluctantiy put on at the latest moment to spruce up & bit for one of the most impres sive inaugurations that has e taken place since George Washing took the oath of office surrounded b: all his gallant generals and state men of high degree. Oh, it just mac this country renew its vouth lusty, rough-mannered, liberty-lov people, and 1 want to congrat the President to the 'nth degree f that wonderful ceremony which r. flected the good judgment of bot father and son and will live forever in the memories of quiet, thoughtful sons and daughters of the biggest re- public ‘neath the sun.” ther of old un- The veteran republican had to cut short his remarks to permit Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Leary of Boston to pass through the door, which also gave the writer a chance to slip around to the Shoreham Hotel to keep a date with Willlam R. Wileox, for mer chairman of the republican ne- tional committee, Mr. Leary is American vice couns at Palermo, Italy, and has been in this eountry on a vacation since June. He sald he was in no position to express an opinion on prefent conditions n Italy, a5 much had transpired sin his departure. He and his wife wil return next week on the President Van Buren. Looking the pleture of health, Mr. ‘Wilcox, fresh from his big farm up in Chenango county, N. Y. had no hesitancy in saying that President Coolidge had won the hearts of every upstate republican in the Empire state. “They like his simple manner.” sald the former chairman, “and feel that the interests of the country are in exceptionally safe hands. Of course, the pollticians have not got busy as yet, and just what New York will do at_the convention is prob- lematical. The President is a warm personal friend of mine, and nothing would delight me more than to see him nominated to succeed himself.” Mr. Wilcox was positive the out standing iesues in the next campaign will be largely of domestic nature He said too much was being made of the world court question, which he did not think would enter to any great extent in the 1924 fight. “Personally I am fn favor of some kind of international tribunal” con- tinued Mr. Wilcox, “where matters of importance to all nations could be thrashed out. Such a court was in its formation The Hague before the war began, when It was dropped As for a league or association to prevent wars, the psychological time for the formation of such was before the armistice was signed. It mat- ters not whether the United States enters an international court this year or five yéars from mow, it will eventually be compelled to come to some agreement with other natio for settiement of certain disputes. The New York lawyer said that he 4id not think prohibition would be stressed by either party during the coming campaign. “It is too ticklish a question.” He favors, how- ever, a modification of the present law. The memory of Warren G. Hard ing will be revered in Mexico for many generations” said Adolfo Dan- ziger de Castro of Mexico City, owner an editor of The Week in_Xexico and ElSendero Americano,” two wide- Iy known publications, as he puffed & big_black cigar in the 1obby of the New Willard Hotel. “The wonderful work accomplished by the late President, through his able commissioners sent to Mexioo to pave the way for the resumption of friendly relations between the two countries, was a masterstroke,” con- tinued the brown-eyed newspaper man, who at one time was American consul to Madrid, Spain, and enjoys the privilege to practice before the United States Supreme Court. “The recognition was a source of great delight to all Mexicans, who welcome straightforward, honest Americans to their land. Mexico i3 pacified now, and it is safe for any one to_travel from end to end. De Castro is an ardent supporter of Gen. Plutareo Ellas Calles as next president of Mexica, and is emphatig in his opinion that the revelutionary fighter, Who he claims is the most outstanding character in the south- ern republic today, will do much for the country. Because of the law, which limits the term to four vears President Obregon is Ineligible for re-eleation. ‘Gen. Calles is & man with & heart,” said Mr, de Castro. “He feels for the poor. In memory of a lone private soldier who had performed an act of exceptional bravery he erected, from his own private funds, Cruz Tech, considered by many to be the most’ thorough technical institute in the world. He is the coming man of Mexico.” It was learned further from the visitor that construction of the high- way from Laredo to Mexico City will be started shortly, thersby complet- ing & perfect roadway from the states the capital of the country to .our south. Mr. de Castro seemed much perturbed that a ban had been pro- claimed against the entrance of Mex- ican fruit to this country. ‘Our fruit,” said he, is of the best. The Papaya - truit, especially, the healthiest in the world. It is used by Mexicans for medicinal purposes. Having worked indefatigably for President Roosevelt {n his 1904 cam- paign, the visitor called on the As- sistant secretary of the Navy and assured him that the day would come when young “Teddy” would be sitting in the chair now occupied by Presi- Coolldge. ’
