Washington, April 10.-Details of plans of the German general staff for bombing New York city from the air and a minute description of the super-Zeppelin in which the invasion would have been attempted, are con tained in an article by Colonel Wil liam N. Hensley, Jr., of the air ser vice ,made public today by the War Department. Col. Hensley was one of the American officei*s who visited Germany after the armistice had been signed. He says the German effort was scheduled to take place about Thanks giving 1918, and that the L-72, which he described as "the largest airship in the world," was expressly con structed for the purposed raid. Meas uring 770 feet from tip to tip and equipped with six engines, of 260 horse-power each, the L-72, the col onel said, was capable of carrying five tons of high explosives and in cendiary material. "Action for every minute of the trip was foreseen," the colonel said, "every possible contingency of the weather, fuel exhaustion, damage -to the ship or machinery failure had been reckoned. Weather charts of the Atlantic were gathered, files of the German admiralty were combed and the records of the merchant marine searched. Three hundred and sixty seven times the voyage was made on paper. The chances of real success were 367 to 1.

In Turning In turning and backingup, with the ordi nary circle iron, which is only a half circle, olsters run off the end of the track and Hang. It is difficult to make short turns and back up. The Thornhill full circle iron gives a continuous track on which the bol sters can turn. The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for life. Instead of tho usual front hound plate, a hound plate of malleable hon is used. It is a metal jacket braced at eight points that keeps gears from ever getting out of linc. On the front bolsters of ThornhiH wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom-connected by rivets that run clear through the bolster. Strength and lightness ' are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are braces on both top and bottom that extend the full length of the . hounds. Solid trust bars extend the full length of the axles giving them double strength. If you examine the beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will see at once the superiority of the construction. The bottoms are rc-iaforccd over front and rear bolsters. Come in and examine this wagon for yourself. We will take pleasure and pride in showing you a Thornhill-The wagon made of tough highland oak and hickory-with features all others lack.
