' NEW ZEPPELINS NOISELESS.
Invention Would Add Muoh to Their
Value Againet an Enemy.
Germans are delighted over the lat
est achievement of Count Zeppelin In
perfecting an Invention which makes
bis airships practically noiseless In the
sky.
Berliners had an opportunity of ob
serving the effect of the Invention
when the new army Zeppelin No. 23
cruised over Berlin with hardly audi
ble evidence of Its proximity.
The passenger Zeppelin Hansa,
which also sailed over Berlin, gave thi
usual sound of Its approach when
miles away through the rumble of Its
engines and propellers.
All this Is done away with In th<
latest army and navy Zeppelins, which,
as the papers proclaim, will henceforth
be able to sail through misty or foggy
skies without giving warning to aa
enemy that “Dreadnoughts of the all"
are coming.

ON THE DELEGATE
Congressman Johnson Asserts Wick
ersham Requested Him Introduce
Bill Suspending Assessment Work
JUNEAU, Oct. 1.—Congressman
Albert Johnson, of Washington, who
Introduced the bill in congress which
aimed to suspend all assessment work
on claims in Alaska because of the
present financial unrest caused by the
war in Europe, today wired to John
W. Troy, the editor of the Juneau
Empire, that he had introduced the
bill at the request of Delegate Wlck
ersham; that the measure was writ
ten by Delegate Wickersham and
fathered by him, but in making the
request the Alaska delegate insisted
lhat if the bill were introduced by
a member of the Washington delega
tion it would give it more weight
than if coming from a delegate with
out a vote In the House.
Congressman Johnson has wired the
delegate and requests him to ac
knowledge the authorship.
The objection to the bill Is that
the Alaskans have already done their
assessment work and the bill Is drawn
in the interests of the non-resident
owners and the big placer ground
owners. It is also proven that the
delegate owns hundreds of acres of
placer land In the Fourth division up
on which no assessment work has
been done.
