New Naval Dirigible
Breaks Away from Base
at Pensacola and Is Lost
By the Associated Press)
Pensacola, Fla., April 7. The im
mense new observation balloon re
cently received at the naval avia
tion station here broke loose early
today, and driven by a brisk south
west wind gradually ascended 'and
when lost to view was floating to
wards southeast Alabama or north

The balloon was 81 feet long and j
could carry four persons. It was fully I
inflated with 25,000 cubic feet of gas j
when it broke away from the rope
which held it to the ground. The
stabilizer was not attached to the;
balloon, and officers believe that if j
it should turn over some of the valves
might open, causing the craft to de
scend. Should the balloon remain up
right, officers said it might remain
afloat many hours.

RELATIONS WITH NO ACTION TODAY AND
JAPAN NEVER
BETTER
(By Associated Press.)
Tokio. April 8. "The relations be
tween the UViited States and Japan
have always been excellent notwith
standing disturbing rumors at times
to the contrary." said Baron Ishi
the minister of foreign affairs, dur
ing an address, "but as far as I can
judge they have never been better
or as good as they are today." The
minister was speaking at the annual
dinner of the America's Friends As
sociation, an organization composed
of Japanese who are especially in
terested in maintaining the good re
lations between Japan and the United
States. Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, a
member of the Privy Councill. presid
ed, and among those there were Pre
mier Count Okuma and George W.
Guthrie, the American ambassador.
Baron Ishii said:
"We all remember about a quarter
of a century ago the creation of the
cry 'the yellow peril.' I did not un
derstand it then and I do not now.
but it originated from a certain pow
er in Europe whose real aim was to
create discord to serve her own pur
poses of denomination, to crush down
the newly rising nation in the lar
East. Happily for humanity's sake,
t.hp American neonle understood the
motives behind this power. This Eu
ropean power today is now frankly
and openly embarked on her ambition
of world conquest."
He continued: "ine result is mat
the relations between Japan and the
United States are better than at any
nrpvious time because that cower is
too much occupied with her own
troubles and cares, and tne relations
between the United States and Japan
left, tn be regulated bv them
selves. Therefore we find when left
without this source of intrigue that
there never has been a better or more
"nrdial understanding- between the
two nations bordering the Pacific than
at present. We have every reason
tn rono-ra tul ate ourselves on the eli
mination of this source of trouble for
it bespeaks a bright future: for this
power is and will be too busy for
some t me to intencfe. watn tne
ontinual growing, better understand
in t nf the motives of each country.
t-.h'is relationship will grow year by
vear more ideal, more cordial as it
justly ought to be."
Premier Okuma made a reierence
to the United States both at the
Amrtriffi's Friend Dinner and at a
luncheon which he gave yesterday at
his official-residence to tne Japanese
and foreign Hurnatnsts. tie reier
red to president Wilson's advocacy
of military expansion and said that
it was forced upon the United States
by the war in Europe. He added:
"The ideal of peace and the principle
of democracy so strongly upneia Dy
President Jefferson and others are
now being regulated to the back
ground and the military expansion
movement is being vigorously pushed
forward by Mr. Wilson. WJry? Be
ranso thp American interests are
threatened. Germany and Austria
are menacing the safety of American
lives on the sea, and their submarines
nrp threatening the coast of South
Africa. The Teutonic spirit of pa
triotism is being carried too iar, ana
the United States is suffering from
this pestilence. All this has natur
ally forced the Americans to get
ready for any emergency, hence a
i-reat militarv expansion movement
has suddenly sprung up."
Count Ukuma thought tnat japan
and the United States working to
gether could do a great deal towards
rescuing the world from the calamity
now oppressing it.
The premier made several refer
ences to China where he believed the
revolution was growing worse and
threatened to become nation-wiae. ne
compared the situation in China with

opinion that the United States could

FEBRUARY SNOW
For m,ore than two hours today it
snowed. Mixed signals is believed to
be responsible for the phenomenon.
Yesterday's weather report indicated
cloudiness, and today's rain, but it
should be said for the benefit of the
observer that there has never been
devised an instrument that can tell
the difference between rain and snow
in advance. It looked like rain, but
the elements mixed signals, and
snow was the result. The snow failed
to stick.
In Salisbury and Concord rain fell
this afternoon. In the mountains more
snow must have occurred than was
the case here, but no reports were
received west of Hickory.
While today's chill will not do
early vegetable and fruit much harm.

Following up sharply their capture
of the village of Haucourt in the Av-ocourt-Behtincburt

of Verdun, the Germans have shifted
their attack to Hhe southeast and
have penetrated a first line trench in
th viceinity of Dead Man's Hill, where
Germans and French have been bat
tling for a week for control of dom
inating positions. Paris declares that
the Germans were driven out from the
greater portion of the positions.
East of the Meuse the French are
continuing their nibbling policy, and
reporting continued progress in Ger
man trenches.
An interesting situation is develop
ing on the eastern front where the
Germans give signs of undertaking
an initiative. Troop movements are
reported on the Dvina, but south of
the Dvinsk, the Teutons have opened
a violent artillery fire in the lake
region.
In the Caucasus campaign the Rus
sians are making continued progress,
having captured Tchoruk in Turkish
Armenia,, driving the Turks west
ward after dislodging them from
fortified positions. The Ottoman
troops are offering stiffer resistance
on the Black sea Cjoast, attacking
Russian positions, but being repulsed,
according to Petrograd.
