Department Gave Money.
In 1895 and 1899 the Board of ord

Its allowance for experimental purposes
and made him a similar allowance in
1888 from the same fund. This is all
the War Department has ever done for
aerial navigation.
The Signal Corps disbursed this
money. Hence General Greedy and his

story seriously, and the Signal Corps
is thoroughly sick Of writing denials.
