The Many Uses Of a Successful
Airship - Information
Worth Reading and
Retaining

ITS MANIFOLD UsEs.nAIRsHP MANOR
The Importance Of aerial navigation in con-
nection with maneuvers may not be over
estimated. During the Franco-Prussian war
Of 1901 balloons were used by the garrison
at Paris to send messages to Gambetta at
Tours These balloons. however, were at the
mercy of the wind. and many of them were
captured by the enemy, who thus secured i'm
portant information, which used against
the senders. A Baldwin airship would have
reached Its destination with absolute safety.
AS A COAST DEFENSE
As means Of coast defense 1t is far supe-
rior to modern fortihcations, with their expen-
slve armament of floating coast defense yes
sells One the Baldwin airship can
destroy n hostile fleet or coast defense fortih-
cation of an enemy quickly and surely
than any offensive tactics in vogue. 1t
will also be of inestimable value in discover
ing the location Of hostile fleets. Had the
United States government possessed such
machine as Mr. Baldwin has now perfected
II could have discovered the location OF Ad-
miral Cerveras feet in the harbor of Santiago
during the Spanish American war withln an
hours rns % SStteres ete CT could have
been readily ascertaned at Port Arthur. and
this fortress by so many months. Every fort
on seaboard will have BALDWIN airsnip'
A MIGHTY ENGINE OF DESTRUCTION
The terrible destructive power Of an airship

oned with in all wars of the future. That this
feature OF aerial navigation has come to pe
sy ths fact @ that Various not
only devoting great sums OF money money 10, Ior en- en-
testants $ an incentive to inventors and sci
entists to apply their best brain power IN an an
effort to construct airship that is not only
ordinary atmospheric cOn0ltlonS
but that may be successfully steered ana ana
turbances. The Baldwin Airshp fills all these
requirements. In 1889 The Hague tribunal
pepiod of Ave Ave 1Se Years, for the reason that
that time there had been no machine invented
fore noncombatants would be exposed to in
discriminate danger The inh5bition mas ,rsbin nom
will be in immediate demand by all nations
UNIVERSAL PEACE
As factor in establishing universal peace
theaBaldwin Airship must be regarded as OF
the utmost Importance. for the reason that as
an instrument OF terrible destruction to life
and property and business paralysis nations
must settle differences by arbitration.
LIFE-sAvING STATIONS
within the past few months there have been
a number of steamships and sailing vessels
wrecked near the Long Island coast, where
life-savers were unable to throw their lines to
the distressed vessels account of rough seas
With the Baldwin Arship line could have
distressed sailors saved by the breeches buoy.
TO BE USED BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
There can be no doubt that foreign govern
ments will negotiate with the BALDWIN Alrsnp
Company for a large number of airshlps, ana
there is no doubt that the United States gov
ernment may enter into an Arrangement win
the company for series of demonstrators,
which. when satisfactorily performed. will re-
suit In the contract for the construction OF d
very considerable number of machines TO oe
used not only in time of war. but in time Of
peace in connection with instructive maheu'efs
OF the army and navy.
