EVEN AIRSHIPS ARE IN
THE STATES CONTROL

PARIS, Aug. 14.-The various In
ventors and others interested In aerial
navigation propose an amendment to
international law defining the extent
OF a countrys sovereignty In the air.
According to international law, a
states sovereignty over the waters
surrounding IL extends as far "as a
cannon ball will carry" When that
law was enacted, the maximum carry
ing capacity OF cannons was between
twenty-five thousand and thirty thou
sand feet 1t is much greater now.
Krupp constructed cannon that car
ries more than 20 hlometers lover IL
miles,, while the latest American can
non is reputed to carry 35 kiloneters
(about 81 miles,.
As cannon shooting straight up
in the air carries only half as far as
1t does In a horizontal position, a
states sovereignty over the atmos-
phere would be between six and ten
miles, II the new amendment Is adopt
ed.
Accordingly all modern airships thus
far constructed would be under the
jurisdiction OF the states over which
they travel
