Um- berto Nobile for the loss in the Aretic of the dirigible Italia. The report said that the loss of the dirigible was due to its maneuver (pre- sumably referring to the long flight to the Pole from which it was returning when wrecked) and the condition and use of equipment, responsibility for which was the commander’s. ‘The commission was unanimous in stating that the conduct of Capt. Alberto Mariano, pilot, and Capt. Filip- | | po Zappi, navigator, was not open to censure but on the contrary was worthy | of praise. In considering the rescue of Nobile the commission found that his | act was without acceptable justification | and that perhaps the only justification | { was the strain of the situation which did not permit him to gauge soundly | the value and consequences of his act, | even though it was done at the insistent invitation of the Swedish aviator, Capt. | Lundborg. | Mechanical Applauder Now. | The latest in comfort for theater- goers of Berlin, Germany, is the me- !are supplying to patrons with each pro- | nets and have metal tongues that rattle | | against boards.
