REGRET EXPRESSED HERE.
Comes Home With Tragic Force to
SIGNAL CORDS Men

To the officers of the Signal Corps OF
the United States Army who are abOu. to
begin experiments with dirigible balloons
and airships the news of the loss of Count
Zeppelins airship comes home with al
most tragic force. and genuine regret is
expressed on every hand over the counts
misfortune.
Brig. Gen. Allen. the chief signal officer
of the army. who has been watching the
operations of Count Zeppelin closely. said
today that to his mind the accident il
Illustrated more than anything alse the
necessity for having balloon houses for
the protection of the airships when they
are on the ground.
Danger Ever Present.
With their enormous area of canvas
and no protection, they are, he said. in
constant danger. They are as a ship
without a harbor or dock. Moored to
the ground. the air may get around
them at any time without the slightest
warning and play havoc with the whole
outfit. nor these reasons Gen. Allen is
going to make an effort to prevail on
Congress to provide for the erection of
balloon houses a preliminary to the
securing of a balloon outfit for the United
States Army. In the case of the Baldwin
balloon now undergoing preliminary trials
at Fort Myer, tent has been erected
for protecting 1t against the elements,
particularly the wind. but this is far
from safe.
Attention was called by Gen. Allen and
his associates to the accident which befell
the French balloon La Patria
At Omaha the signal Office is having
constructed a balloon house of generous
dimensions for the use of the army.
1t is to be 200 feet long. eightythree
feet wide and seventy-five feet high.
Here Is the Trouble.
In this connection Gen. Allen called at
tention to the remarks of Col. Capper of
the British army in a recent article on
the subject as being particularly appl-
cable to the case i'm point.
LAS long dirigible balloon remains
in the air it may be looked on as being
tolerably safe. both in itself and as con-
veyance for passengers. Even If the en-
CINE breaks down 1t is in no worse case
than an ordinary free balloon. When,
however, it is brought in contact with
solid ground it is different matter Even
in light winds unless it is very heavily
overweighted 1t constantly rises a few
that the fragile framework containing
machinery and passengers is liable to Sc
rious damage: while in high winds. the
pressure tending to tear 1t away is so
great that even large numbers of men are
inca pable of holding it. and it's struggles
to escape become so violent that any rigid
structure attached to it will be dashed
to pieces.
