true Zeppelins, in case of war between
the Ullltpd stat09 nnd Germany could
cross the Atlantic ocean easily, but
they would have to contend with tho
anti-aircraft guns of every one of
tho allied ships which are patrolling
the Atlantic, as well as the seaplanes
that are on board of somo of the al

our own navy are now, or will be I

Besides, to mako more than one
raid, the Zeppelin would need to have
a biue somewhere on tho American
continent, nnd wo can hardly bellove
it would bo possible for tho Germans
to establish such a base under pres
ent conditions.
Germany is simpposcd to have close
to 100 Zeppelins in commission or
about to bo placed in commission.
She has lost about 30, brought down
by tho allies' airplanes and anti-aircraft
guns.
While tho contingency of a Zeppe
line raid is remote, tho damage that
could be done to a city like New York
by oven a single raid, is enormous.
A single bomb falling on one of the
largo buildings of tho downtown sec
tions of the city would kill thous
ands, besides doing an Immense
amount of property damage.

Ono of tho bills, Introduced by Sen-

that none could be changed to a lower
