Washington, July 21.--President
Roosevelt Is much interested in tho
aeronautical work of the signalS corps.
and 1t is believed In army circles that
ne VIII lend his personal assista nce
TO induce Congress next winter IN
provide sum of money sufficient tn
construct large dirigible balloon of
the La Patrie type for experimental
purposes.
Last winter the president intended
10 urge large appropriation for
aeronautical experiments, but aban-
doned the idea when he met the on
position In Congress to his battleship
program.
The dirigible balloon which Cant
Thomas S. Baldwin of New YORK has
contracted to deliver to the signal
corps within the next few days win
De not more than 100 feet long. In
side the bag there will be two smaller
oalioonets, having total capacity OF
at least one-sixth of the volume or
the gas bag. 1t will carry two men.
one OF whom will be an operator ana
the other an observer The speed Of
the balooon must be at least sixteen
miles an hour, and a bonus will be
given for speed greater than twenty
miles an hour
AS soon as the balloon has been as.
sem mbied at Fort Myer, Va, where the
oHlcial acceptance trials will be held.
Captain Baldwin probably will make
a series of flights to test the engines.
Inc Official acceptance trial will he
held before board of officers of the
signal corps, who will decide whether
the dirigible meets the requirements
or the specifications. The fight will
start from the drill ground at Fort
Myer, and the speed will be deter
mined by taking an average of the
time over a measured course of be-
tween two and five miles against and
with the wind.
The time will be taken by a flying
start, passing the starting and finish
ing marks at full speed at both ends
or the course
The balloon must carry sufficient
[uel for the continuous operation of
the engine for at least two hours.
turing which time it must travel at an
iverage speed of at least 20 per cent
'f the full speed of the dirigible.
Three trial flights will be allowed for
peed and three for endurance.
