WORLD’S LARGEST DIRIGIBLE AIRSHIP Washington. Sept. 11.— (IT. 1’.)— No ceremony 1» to mark acceptance of tin- ZR-3, the world's largest air ship, when it Is formally turned over to lb« United States by the German government. . Delivery of the dirigible Is regard ed by the navy department officials as I ho payment of a war debt and they do not believe there should be any show for jdiclt an occasion. Early nrrufigements provide that the ZR-3 be met at sea by the Bhen- nndoah and a squadron of airplanes and convoyed to the Lakehurst, N. .1., landing field. A smnll group of naval officers will be on the ground there officially to lake over the airship on behalf of the United States government. Secretary Wilbur’s presence at Lake hurst 1« contingent upon his arrival from tho Pacific coast. The ZR-3 was constructed by the Zeppelin company nt Frledrlchsha- ven, Germany,' under tho watchful eyes of three United States navy ex perts. Tho navy depurtmont station ed (’apt. George W.

All three were aboard during the several trial flights tile airship made and also will be aboard when the flight across the Atlantic Is made. The ZR-3 was constructed for the United States undeg special author ization from the alRed and associ ated powers. After the wur, the Zep pelin company was restricted by the powers from building other than commercial airships of gross capaci ty not over 30,000 cubic meters. This size was too small to warrant the effort of creating strictly com mercial types. To cross the Atlantic In such a small ship would have been an impossibility, naval officials be lieved. Subject to the condition that It be not used for military purposes, the powers permitted the construction for the United Slates of one rigid airship of a gii« capacity of 70,000 cubic meters. Under the negotiations entered in to hy the navy department and the Zeppelin company, the ship upon completion must be delivered to the United States naval air station, Lake hurst. Tho ZR-3 has been designed es pecially to accommodate passenger'», and Hpeclul attention haH been di rected to all factors Involving con venience, strength and »ttfe*y. i THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER II. III2I EtMlorw*« Milton 4. Mille r h.i>» lai FolleOe Hit* No 4 hance—-II«- publican« lilt by 4'oinnioner Local people who assembled at th« train last night to hear William J( li ning» Bryan were gratified when, after a brief eulogy in favor of the ccudldacy of Milton A. Miller for I tilled Stat«» senator, he htunebed into national politics. Mr. Ili^ in came out strong In favor of the Dctn- ocratle ticket, Davis and Bryan, at tacking th» Republican party and (ilHpindng of LaFollette by saying that he did not have a chance in the electoral college. Some 500 to GOO people gathered at the band stand in Railroad park where great commoner appeared. Tl.c people of the I'nited Stat'*» are fortunate, Mr. Bryan stated, in having three men for president ntitl lilt co foi vl^p-presldent. of the high personal character qf those- who rep resent the three parties. No criti cism is possible of the men, Mr. Bryan contended, whereupon he it tempted to show where the Demo crat» favor human rights right wh'le the Republican party puts property rights above all else. Coolidge r nd Dawe« are of the school of thought which always emphasizes properly rights, while Davis and Bryan on the Democratic ticket and LaFollette and Wheeler on the progressive ticket, put num first and the dollar after ward, he asHerted. Mr. Bryan took up the Mellon in come tux which »•«» offered tl.c Inst congres» with the approval of the president. The speaker held that the object of this plan was to trans fer th« burd(Mi of government from the rich to the poor. Under this plan. It was said the poor man would pay a larger pet cent and the rich nian a »mailer. It is not the Idea of the Democratic party to give to the rich first and let the poor wait, he said. The speaker further contended that a great difference in the pol icies of the two men could be seen in the attitude of Mr. Davis against private monopoly while Mr. Coolidge was against government monopoly. Defending his switch from a foe of Mr. Davis previous to the nomi nation and a staunch supporter after wards. the speaker stated that he was In favor of finding the man who most easily^would he elected and did not believe when be was supposing the nomination that Mr. Davis could lie elected. He feared that the Re publican papers would transfer the attention of the people to the fact that Mr. Davis was in the employ of. rich clie'hts. but did not oppose hint because he believed he could not be trusted. Since that time, Mr. Bryan said he has met Mr. Davis personally atyl is convinced that he was not corrupted during Ills brief stuy In Wall street. Mr. LaFollette has no chance of being elected In the electoral col lege, while Mr. Davis has, Mr. Bryan held In asking for the support of Ills candidate. Mr. Bryan is on a Chautauqua tour and was met in Ashland by Mil ton A. Miller, who Introduced him here. He took 20 minutes here to talk the train being held while lie addressed the crowd.
