A strange case is reported from New

could induce any one to credit the ac-
count. Briefly told, the city Of New
York decided to procure 1--WE Belgian
hounds for the use OF the police. and
sent q man named George Wakefield to
Belgium to purchase them. Here is

paper:

signal Corps Officers Said 10 Have Inter-
ested President.
washington Special to New York Globe.
The success OF the experiments in. France
and Germany with dirigible balloons has
aroused q great degree Of interest among
army officers. and especially among officers
OF the signal corps. For years signal corps
officers of the American army gave com
paratively little attention TO the use OF d.
rigible balloons or flying machines. Early
Investigations into feasibility OF the use
Of any mechanism for navigating the air
led some of the leading officers Of the
signal service TO the conclusion that aerial
navigation was of little practical value
from q military standpoint. But the de-
velopments in the fields Of airships of the
heavier than air type have been meeting
with much success, involving machines that
are eaDabie Of, navigating the air in I'm
favorable weather and at high speed.
Recently an important conference on the
use Of air ships or dirigible balloons In war
was held at the White House. The President
has been led to take an interest In the sub
ject. He called for q conference with
Chairman Hull of the House Committee on
Military Affairs: General Allen. chief sig
nal officer and other leading signal corps
officers. It was urged by General Allen
and his military associates that In view of
the progress France and Germany are maxi
ing It was high time for this country to be
appropriating money literally for the pur-
poses of experimenting with airships. The
President does not profess to be an expert
on baIlooning. but he inclines to the belief
that the American army should not be be-
hind other armies in what promises to, be
an essential OF success In the next great
war.

be enacted which would lessen the use
Of the things by boys. but even such
a law cannot be rigidly or impartialIy
