IN THE AIR.
A SQUEAK FOR WILHELM. EXPERIENCE IN A ZEPPELIN. PREPARES TOR ANOTHER CIRCUS ACT. Received Jan. 10, 11.].-) p.m. Petrograd, Jan. 10. The Bom-Re Gazette publishes the Story of a narrow escape the Kaiser had in a Zeppelin flight over Warsaw. One of the screws of the airship broke and tore a great hole in the envelope. The airship listed heavily, and a parachute was prepared for the Kaiser's use in the event of the machine collapsing. The countryside was roused and motor patrols hurried out. Everything weighty, including the officers' swords, was jettisoned, and the Zeppelin continued to fall till the anchor caught a tree and the machine grounded without serious damage. The Kaiser rewarded everyone aboard.
