WAR BALLOON STATION

VICES TO BE TESTED.

written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The army is about to convert Omaha
Barracks, Neb., into a signal corps post.
A modern war balloon train will be in
stalled there by Cen A.. w. Greedy, chief
signal officer. Experiments with airships
and dirigble balloons will be undertaken
at the new post, which will be the aeron-
auto proving ground of the army.
A permanent plant for making and COM
pressing hydrogen gas viii be an interest
ing adjunct During the past few years II
has been impossible for the Signal Corps to
do any balloon work, partly because OF
impossibility to obtain this gas in Amer
lea. Repeated application to scores OF
manufacturers who formerly furnished 1t
as a by-product have been futile, although
compressed hydrogen gas is absolutely neo-
essary to rapid and successful aeronautical
work with war balloons.
An propelled vehicle will be part
of the new balloon train, If experiments
now progressing under General Gfeelys d.
rection are brought to successful issue.
While automobilism in its present state
seems to be unsuited for general army
transportation in the field, the recent tests
by the signal corps have demonstrated the
practca bility and ACCESSIBILITY of adopting
self-propelled vehicles for special military
purposes-not only in balloon, but tele-
graph trains. Recent experiments in for
eign armies confirm our results.
All great nations have equipped their ar
mics with captive balloon trains. The in
dividual processes of manipulating these
strictly guarded as military secrets.
OF course, ability to discover the move
ments and position of the enemy is an alb
solute necessity of modern war. This can
be accurately accomplished by an operator
in a balloon 2 500 5000 feet above the
earth. He can scan the country round
with a good telescope and telephone at
once to his army whatever he may see.
The value of this observation work has
been proven already in the Russo-Japanese
war. Experiments during that conflict in
the use of cameras in war balloons for the
purpose of furnishing views of the enemy's
camps and Notifications have not been so
successful. At the height at which such
pictures have had to be made it has proven
difficult to distinguish Russians from Jap
