Elected. Dr. Hugo Eckener of Germany, 62, Graf Zeppelin commander; to be president of the Aero Arctic Society, succeeding the late Fridtjof Nansen of Norway (died May 13); in Berlin...

The pilot of the airplane, diving into the Zeppelin, jumped, parachuted, escaped with his life...
Capt.

When Germany delivered...
