•In Air Croft—Ha* Boon Corofully
1 Guarded Binoo Outbreak of War.
Hava a Confidence Inspiring Number,
Fendrich Aaoorta.
Anton Fend rich, who la about to pub-
lish a book on the war, la giving to
the German public lta first real view
of tho Gorman air fleet, which he vis-
ited "among the sand dunes." Here
Is his story in part:
"Somewhere amid the white sand
dunes and the salt meadow weeds
dwell the mariners of the air who have
brought some notion to Albion that it
no longer is an Island. 1 was taken to
a group of buildings, dark airship halls.
Silhouetted against the sunset clouds
In great lines of modern steel construc-
tion.
‘•‘How manyT I hear the question
asked. Quite a confidence Inspiring
number.
"The commanders were sitting at a
Bower decked horseshoe supper table—
not all of them, for some were under
way. From the wall smiled the Sua-
Wan Count Zeppelin, without whose
decade of struggling all this would nev-
er have been.
"These men were inostly between
thirty and forty years and already had
many a time participated In a wild
hunt through searchlights and bursting
shells, and, though they lived among
these peaceful meadows, the same keen
took of the huntsman which one finds
at the front was stamped on their
faces.
"It was midnight as we a
the dark structure with brightly Illu-
minated windows, which, at first broad
and red, soon shrank to narrow shin-
ing silts as the whole ball turned
on lta axis In order to bring the air-
ship Into line with the wind.
Hurricane From Propeller*.
"The turning of a single screw on
the ocher yellow body of the air cruis-
er filled the giant hall with the roar-
ing and howling of a hurricane.
"In front of the almost nnbelievabl.v
thin steel rods to which were affixed
the screw propellers were high wood-
en platforms on which mechanics cow-
ered and watched the whirling pro
pellers. These wooden propellers, encli
as tall as a man, soon became visible
again, turned awkwardly a few times,
then stopped. A mechanic adjusted a
few screws, hammered a few bolts,
and then the slender thin wooden
blades again roared. The mechanic
notes the faults first always with the
ear only, but afterward discovers
them with the eye.
"Now they had caught (he right tone.
‘The ship is clear for sailing,’ the en-
gineer reported to the commander.
“But outside waited the night wind.
One knew It well from past experience.
Therefore a hundred bard seamen’s
fists grabbed It outside to prevent cap-
sizing.
The Air Giant Is Off.
"A shrill whistle and all the screws
began their Btorm song. A few men of
the landing battalion shook themselves
like wet dogs. They had got on their
heads a spout of the water with which
the air cruiser lightens Itself. Lightly
the slender colossus floated upward
and It seemed swallowed up by the
night, a dark shadow against the
Great Dipper.
“We flew. The deafening noise mak-
ing conversation impossible, I at first
noticed nothing. The commandant
showed me the manipulation of the
eUfeilii* gear for elevation and direc-
tion and all the other technical equip-
ment /
“We flew over wood and meadow,
and over airship halls and barracks
and the canopy of green was soon lost
to sight.
“Through a small horizontal irans
parent pane, built like an alcove In
the glass wall of the commandant’s
gonodola, your eyes can see straight
downward Into the depths below.
"During the week 1 was with the
air cruiser In which one of the com-
mandants had In five days spent
eighty-eight, hours In the air and had
slept only twenty-four in his bed.
"Another officer, commanding one of
the older ships with open gondolas, re-
turned so frozen that It was necessary
first, to knock off with sticks the Ice
from the fur clothes of him and his
men before they could undress.
“But, In my mind, I took o(T my bat
most of all to the one whose first
words as he leaned out of his gondola
I were:
I “ ‘I haven’t been able to get rid of
my eggs!’ lie meant tho bombs with
I which his Zeppelin wag provided.
He had orders to attack an Iron
JW, From afar he saw it gleam-
ing below, but the Increasing stormy
west wind prevented him from getting
over it The home journey led him
over many a town and village of the
land which seeks to starve out Ger-
man women and children, but he flew
over them w-lth all his bombs.
“Down on the watuj front every-
where stand new and gigantic airship
balls. On the day I left the first of
aome new and splendid monsters came
flying from its airship yards.
“Woe to you. Paris! Woe to you,
London, when your day comes!”

It is interesting to stop and recall how many good
things you have heard of the car and how few of ihe other
sort.
What owners are thinking and saying the country over
constitutes a higher endorsement of the car than anything
we might say about it.
It is establishing a very notable record for low cost of
maintenance and freedom from repair.

SHERMAN’S CHEAPEST GROCER.
,
With the cold cash I buy my goods at the lowest
prices that money will buy them and since I now have
no credit losses I have to add only one small item of
profit. Any sensible man or woman-who has had ex-
perience, can readily figure how it isMone. No losses—
no long waits for my money—means less expense-
therefore cheaper price to my customer.
