ZEPPEUN AIRSHIP LOSING. Accident, In Which Hundreds Could Not Save Craft, Turns Opinion. Berlin, April 27. German aeronauts are asking whether the destruction of the airship Zeppelin II at Weilburg will not prove a fatal blow to the school of rigid airship construction. There has been manifested lately a dis position in army circles to oppose fur ther purchase of airships of tho Zep pelin type on the ground that they aro too unwleldly to meet varying condi tions of actual service. In the latest accident it was noted that" the crow of several hundred men under experienced officers was unablo to keep the enorm ous framework from blowing away, whereas tho ship of the non-rigid typo could have been deflated and saved. The Zeppelin craft has enjoyed marked preference in the German army, owing to the personality of in ventor and tho personal support given him by the kaiser. Lately, however, aeronauts have been inclined to the adoption of a more clastic and more easily managed type. This latest ac cident lends argument in favor of such a change. NORWEGAIN POET DEAD.
