TRANS ATLANTIC
COMDR. ECKENER AND THE FUTURE
BIGGER "ZEPPS"
New York, Yesterday.. Commander Eckener, in an inter- view, declared he intended to have built at Friedrichshafen, in 1930, a new Zeppelin, shorter, thicker, and faster than the "Graf Zeppelin." It would have eight engines in- stead of five, and make the trans- Atlantic voyage in twelve hours faster time. '_...!
It would carry only 24 passen- gera, but considerably more freight and mail, which is more profitable.
The "Graf Zeppelin," on two visits to the United States, had paid expenses, and demonstrated the feasibility of dirigible trans- portation--Reuter's American Ser- vice.

New Commissioner
Cairo, Yesterday. The newspaper "El Ahram" an- ounces that Sir Percy Lorraine, at present Minister to Athens, will definitely be appointed High Com missioner to Egypt.
"These are points the importance of which cannot be overlooked. The Football Association has been in control of the game for nearly seventy years, and it fully appre ciates the remarkable development that it has made all over the world. There is no reason to suppose that there is any occasion for official interference with ventures which are undertaken by some of the clubs when the English season has closed. Many of the continental clubs are still comparatively new to the game, and with a continua tion of their education everything will be all right. It is regrettable, naturally, that there should be any adverse criticism concerning the Paris.
