GERMANIY TO BUILD IM

lIIls, After Numerous Notes, Permit
Germans to Accept the Contract.

pletion of Big Ship.
Paris.-The council of ambassadors mu
has granted permission to the United he]
States to contract for the construction wh
at Friedrichshafen, Germany, of a Zep- the
pelin of the 1-70 type. This decision isa
marks the end of diplomatic negotia
tions which have preceded between the wh
allied .powers and the United States ed
since July last.
The application for the construction f
of a Zeppelin grew out of the destruc- hel
tion in Germany of five of the big the
dirigibles, one of which had been al
lotted to the United States, during the
peace conference.
The United States based its applica- we
tion on the grounds that it was en- thi
titled to an airship under Germany's
reparations agreement The council of an
ambassadors referred the matter to the tio
principal allied powers, and several to
notes are said to have been exchanged. gag
Washington.-Authorization by the cei
allied council of ambassadors for the in
construction by Germany of a Zeppelin soc
of the 1,70 type for the United States
was regarded in official circles here
as a distinct triumph for American di- jal
plomacy. ml
By virtue of that authorization Ger- Sn
many is permitted to go behind the the
terms of the protocol signed in Paris m:
last June 30, which limited the size ck
of airships she might build to 30p00
cubic meters capacity. The airship sil
which Germany will build for the Unit- 01
ed States is to be of 70,000 cubic me- we
ters capacity and there had developed bo
among allied governments a decided cu
opposition to establishing a precedent
by permitting Germany to go behind ar
the terms of any treaty or agreement isl
The opposition of the European gov- er
eraments was overcome by repeated mm
representations by Ambassador Her- Ax
rick that this country would not use in
the new airstip for military purposes of
and that America was entitled to com
pensation in kind for the Zeppelin Ci
awarded this government and later de- w
stroyed by Germany. Those represen- ro
tations were made lmmediately after ax
the signing of the protocol and were
renewed until the allied governments to
Swere assured of the justice of Amerl- of
ca's claims and the good faith of the A
United States government in engaging w
that the new airships would not be m
used for military purposea o:
The completed airship will be deliv
ered to the United States in Germany he
without the expenditure of a single tt
penny by this government, it was e
stated, and then will be flown across

airship will be under the direction of a di

Unbuckled Galoshes Can Ce
Traced to Historic Incident.
Battle of Steinkirk, In 1692, Laid the
Foundation for the Present
Freakish Fashion.
How many of the young ladies who
parade down Michigan boulevard with
unbuckled galoshes clanking about
their ankles know where and how the
freakish fashion originated? asks a
writer in the Chicago Journal.
In July, 1692, the French forces un
der Marshal Luxembourg were camped
at Steinkirk, in what is now Belgium;
I while six miles away lay the allied
a troops under William III. of England.
S The two armies were too evenly bal
anced for either to attack unless it
fi could secure some special advantage;
and the French commander was kept
informed of every allied move by a
spy who was chief secretary to one of
- the German princes in the allied ranks.
t This man's treason was discovered, a
pistol was put to his head, and he was
compelled to write and forward a let
I ter which was a trap. It told that
I the allies meant to send out a foraging
party the next morning, and to guard
this, would occupy the ground be
tween the two armies with strong de
tachments of infantry.
With this letter preparing the way
for a surprise, a general assault was
was planned, and came near being sue
cessful. The allied troops, a British
brigade leading, almost reached the
French lines before the trick was dis
covered. The French advance guard
was smashed and routed. The Swps
d mercenaries in the French service were
beaten. But then the household troops
of Louis XIV. entered the fray, led by
a young nobles and princes of the blood,
0 and after a terrific struggle the Eng
a lish and their allies were driven back.
f At that time, the French noble in
- military service was as much a dandy.
