Representative DELANEY. Has that not been published? Captain ELLIS. It probably has. It has been published in our naval institute, with a complete record of every German Zeppelin. The paper I have just submitted gives a summary of these, giving the total built and what happened to them.

Colonel BRECKINRIDGE. That is pretty well contained in the first document?

Captain ELLIS. Yes, but not in detail. Here I have each one. Representative DELANEY. When you speak of each one, what do you mean by that?

Captain ELLIS. Each one that was constructed.

Representative HOPE. May I ask from what source these figures were compiled?

Captain ELLIS. They were largely from the Zeppelin Co. itself. Representative DELANEY. If there is no objection, the compilation will go in the record.
