(tfnltad rrns BUtt Corrtapondant.)
(CepnUht. IBIS, Jr tho Jlntuf PrtM! copy-
tUhted In art Britain.)
JIKHLIN. Feb. 1, via The Haamo and
fcondoh, Feb. . "t have always hoped
to be the first t6 pilot an airship across
the Atlantic I have believed that to do
no would, bo the crowning; effort uf my
career," declared Count Ferdinand von
Zeppelin tonight when he resumed his dis
cussion of the poselblUt.ee of the giant
aircraft that bears hla name. Not to
bombard New York And Washington? I
kilted him quickly.
The Count was very grave as ne re
plied- It was plain from his general alti
tude that he has been greatly troubled
oVer the charges of ruthlessness In the
use of dirigibles In war and the Intima
tions that they were "beyond the pale
cf civilised warfare.
"Throw bombs on pesple who have
been, eo kind to mo when I was among
.them," he cried. "Never! Never! I
want to sail on a peaceful mission when
I go to America. My greatest ambition
has not been to create an engine of de
struction. It has been to demonstrate
that the Zeppelins were suited to far
greater purposes than to be used as msre
Instruments of warfare."
The Count continued: "I must try to
live long enough, or I fear that It won t
be accnmpllhed, at least not In the near
future." ., ..
''Then you believe that transatlantic
erl.il travel with a dirigible of the type
you have constructed Is posslble7 I
Miked.
AS MAIL CAimiERS.
"Not only possible, but practicable. This
war has Interfered with my plans. I
know thkt' aerial travel will become the
quickest and safest method. Zeppelins, In
their development, have, In my opinion,
k great future before them. Few people
know tho delight and safety of travel
therein. They will become great factors
for quick passenger and mall service."
"How long do you beltave that It would
take a Zeppelin to make the flight from
jiere to NewYork?" I asked.
"Three or four days, perhaps more, per
haps less. It would depend on the
weather, anyhow It was hardly expected
that the first voyage would be made In
the (horteat time, any more than that tlio
first stemshlpa established tho record.
"What will be tho trend of development
In tho Zeppelins In the future?"
"Where they are to bo utilized for war
craft a form of construction that will per
mit them to fly much higher than at
present. For commercial purposes they
must have greater carrying capacity and
greater speed. As compared with the
years It took to develop the railroads my
a'lrcraft arc merely beginning their
careers. At present they are too much
dependent on wind and weather.
"With tho exception of the first flight
that I made I cannot conceive a more In
spiring moment than when I can pilot
one of my cruisers Into New York and
then go on to "Washington."
I suggested that he might have sent
one of his Zeppelins to San Francisco
for exhibition at the' Panama-Pacific Ex
positions "No," he declared emphatically. "No,
I do not want a Zeppelin to make her
first voyage across the Atlantic In the
freight hold of a stean.ahlp. She will
make It under her own power."
MEETING WITH LINCOLN.
For several hours the Count related Inci
dents of hla experience In America during
the Civil War. He told of meeting Presi
dent Lincoln as a military attache and
representative of the King of Wurttem
berff. "The President was sitting at his desk,
very busy. His private secretary, young
Seward, son of the Secretary of State,
was sitting on a table dangling his legs
in the air. Lincoln, tall and gaunt,
greeted me very cordially. Ho made the
Impression on me that the Kaiser always
makes on me when I meet him. Lin
coln In particular was deeply concerned
about the cruelties of the war, or what
you now; refer to as atrocities. People
had the same Impressions then as they
have now. This was best shown by a
popular song, the refrain of which goes.
It 1 remember right. 'When this cruel war
Is over' The President gave me a mili
tary pass with his signature, and I still
cherish it as one of my most prized pos
sessions." COUNT'S FinST FLIGHT.
"I made my first balloon ascension at
Bt. Paul, and not on the Civil "War firing
line, as has been frequently said. A
major of tho Union army whose name I
have forgotten was there and had a cap
tive balloon. I wanted a. real sensation,
and arranged for the use of the balloon,
he to cut the rope and let me make a long
flight after I had got up to the limit. I
bought all of the spare gaa that the St.
Paul Oa Works would Jet me have, and
was able to get up several hundred feet,
t'Ut the gas was of so poor quality that I
could not get the bag filled sufficiently to
essay a. long flight Yet while I was above
B. Faul I had my first Idea, of aerial nav
igation, strongly Impressed upon me, and
It Was there that the first Idea, of my
Zeppelins came to me. Even In 1S63 St,
Paul was pretentious enough to. have a
photographer, and as a souvenir I have
a photograph of myself taken at that
time. I returned south by way of Mil
waukee, where many houses were being
raised on higher foundations on account
of the high water from the lake. In New
York I witnessed the draft riots and saw
tho police shooting Into the mob.
"I had many friends in America, but
I fear that few of them have cared to
live as long as I have. Perhaps none will
be left when I coma again, If I come In
one o? roy crullers."

Our troops have been victorious In

out of the enow-filled Carpathians
"after heavy fighting. The Russians
have retreated to th5 upper flucsawa
Valley wltfi oUr.trcops In close pur
suit. On February T our nursulng troops
captured 400 Russians attempting to
rover the retreat of their main
forces. Wo also took seven guns and
a. quantity of supplies.
The battle of Dukta Pass ended
favorably for us. Owing to diffi
culties of transport only weak Rus
sian artillery forces participated, but
the Russians had concentrated near
Dukla Pass strong Infantry1 forces,
"'whlcli jidvOnccd against the heights.
. - Without rgarA for human material
tho Russians' tried to enforce a suc
,cosfu decision, Three, .of their at
tacking linen at one place were liter
ally mdwed down' from our trenches.
Finally the Russians, advancing over
a ridge of the- pass, began Jn tna
evening to clln1b'! Up; .the opp'osllo
hills, which were In possession of
Austro-Hungarlan troopB, but they
wero obliged to stop halfway In deep
snow as a terrible snowstorm began.
When, next morning, the Russian
commander gave the ordor to storm
our positions, many of his men had
stiff limbs and others were completely
exhausted, and 'the assault broke
down under the Austrian 'fire. '
"Numerous jliwid and wounded cover
ed tho battlefield. Mapy prisoners
. were taken. The Russians finally
retreated In full flight with the Austro-
Hungarians In pursuit.
Our heavy artillery has success
fully bombarded the region around
Tarnow, In Russian Poland, and has
also made good practice against the
Russian troops.
