ZEPPELIN SECRETS.
FRENCH LUCK. Press Awn—By Telegraph—Copyright Parii, April A. The Zeppelin airship, which dropped on French soil lost its way in a fog. Ten passengers, ineluding six officers in uniform, were aboard. It was only on Wednesday that a semi-official appeal was issued in the Berlin newspapers to keep the details of dirigibles secret.
The Parisian newspapers now comment on Germany's ill-fortune in dropping the newest type of Zeppelin during her trial trip on to French soil, thus giving France an opportunity to examine the appliances and secret methods. The incident at Luneville has since been settled, and the airship has departed.
FRENCH COURTESY.
Berlin, April 5.
The Zeppelin airship, which fell into French territory through a mishap, has arrived at Meta. The occupants reported that the comissary at Lnnsville merely boarded the craft to inquire as to the possibility of espionage, but in other respects the airship was treated as if she were on German soil.
Germany has thirty-flve flying machines in the factories.
One company is building thirtyfour bi-planes for Russia. Statistics for the past five yeara show that Germany constructed fifty dirigibles, many of which were experimemtal.
