liANI>S AFTER BATTIiKOF THIIITEKN 11OUKS

DINGOLFINGE, April —After a battle of thirteenhours, with adverse winds,with one motor out of com-mission, Count Zeppelin land-ed his great airship near herelate this afternoon. The ac-cident to the motor causedthe ship's liel|ilel. Theforward motor worked wellbut it did not produce suf-ficient power to drive the shipagainst the air currents,which at times reached greatvelocity.

Count Zeppelin's masterfulmanagement of the crippledairship In the face of thewindstorm, is proclaimed oneof the most wonderful featsof aerial navigation the worldhas seen.

(By United Press Leased Wire.) IBERLIN, April I.—Grave fears

are entertained today for thesafety of Count Zeppelin, the fam-ous aeronaut, and a party offourteen friends, who made anascent this morning at sunrise atFriederichafen and attempted aflight to Munich, in the new mon-ster Zeppelin airship.

The great dirigible balloon wascaught in a fierce gale that sprangup soon after the ascent.

The airship was driven by thestorm to a point near Munich andwas sighted this evening, afterhaving been missing more thanten hours.

Though Munish was the count'sdestination, he evidently couldnot control the great craft in thestorm and made no attempt todescend.

Zeppelin steered the ship aboutand started to return towardFrledrichafen, a distance of 11miles, but could intake little or noheadway against the wind.

When last seen the ship wasdriving rapidly in a northwester-ly direction from Munich. Thecity authorities are following itas best they can in automobilesand several squadrons of cavalryalso have been ordered to followas closely as possible.
