May. SO. — Count Zeppelin, whose remarkable , performances In his first airship brought unbounded, honor to ..the Inventor," accomplished .the most striking, feat in his career 'today. He guided his Zeppelin II from .Fried richshafen to Bitterfeld. a distance «f more than 45S miles, without landing. The journey lasted nearly 23 hoar*, and- so far as " known "- tonight Count Zeppelin Is still in the a!r on the retu.r-3. journey to FriedrlchshaXen. . He has al ready beaten all records for dirigible balloons with the opportunity 'of'great ly improving the performance. Emperor Awaits Airship It was announced that the coast would come to Berlin , and land at the Tempelhof parade ground. Hundreds of thousands gathered there this after noon: " "The "emperor and empress, sev eral of the princes and the leading mili tary officials and officers were present. Soldiers kept an enormous space ) clear until half past 10 o'clock at night. when a dispatch frora Bitter feid an nounced that; the airship was returning to the starting place? at Fxiedrichs "ha'en, which caused the most intense disappointment. Inventor Holds Tiller Count Zeppelin was personally ia charge of the airship add his hand was at the tiller during the greater part of the journey. There was a crew of seven aboard. - The voyage began •under favorable conditions. There was a lowering sky. rain clouds and a strong side wind when the air ship left. the floating hall shortly after 9 o'clock last night. The ship ascended directly for a few hun dred feet and. passing over the town of Friedrichshafen, proceeded north ward. Early in the morning the people of Treuchtllngen, a small city in central Bavaria, were awakened by the noise of the propellers of the craft, whlcn was passing slowly. This was the_jßr«t occasion the count had journeyed ~ovtr Bavaria, and his arrival an hour and a half later at Nuremberg caused tlte greatest surprise to the thousands of pleasure seekers, who were prepaxtas for holiday excursions. Maneuvers Over City : ! The ship maneuvered over thej «ity and then a card wa< thrown out. stat ing- that a greater amount of water aad benzine had been used than was -ex pected and that the craft would descend to the surface of Lake DutxenteicbT to replenish the water supply. This, bow ever, was not carried out. Count Zep pelin continued his cruise onward with out Interruption in a direct line toward Berlin, passing over several towns at a. low altitude until he reached the fron tier, of Saxony, where the airship was headed straight for Lelpslc. Telegrams received there frost' th* south Indicated that Count Zeppelin would make- a landing: at'Letpsic and the entire population waited for several hours in the streets and open spaces to greet him. Craft Is Headed South Instead of landing the^count pot his craft through a series of maneuvers for a half hour, coming at tines com paratively close to the tops ot buildinrs. He then went* on. crossing Halle/ to Bitterfeldl No time was wasted there and to everybody's surprise the airship, after describing a circle, turned again and sailed to the south. In the meantime the military autaorf jtles at Berlin were absolutely without advices as to the count's plans. Major Gross, commander of the army, balloon corps. • said that no arrangements bad been "made for" the landing of the air shipat Tegel, the military balloon head-~ quarters. .
