LONDON. June 22.-An air voyage from
Paris to London is about to be attempted
by hitherto unknown airship. The an
nounoement Is made by Arthur Philip
Du Cros. managing director OF the Dun

and secretary OF the Parliamentary aerial
defence committee.
Writing to the Daily Mdil Mr.. Du Cros
says that the assumption Of the Morning

perfect understanding Of the facts both in

tary committee.
Negotiations have been going on for
some time. says Mr.. Du Cros. and, follow
ing upon the recent trials abroad before
British military and naval experts. 1t has
been arranged to attempt before the end
Of the present parliamentary session to
sail from Paris to London in a modern
airship OF approved type, the largest and
most powerful Of its kind yet constructed.
This ship. which is now approaching
completion. will have capacity Of 277 500
cubic feet, will have two propellers driven
| by two motors each Of 220 horsepower,
and will carry twenty-five passengers in
addition to supplies and petrol sufficient
to last 100 miles. The speed will be from
thirty-five to forty miles an hour and the
ship can ascend to a height Of 5000 feet.
Tho Aerial Defence Committee. accord
Ing to Mr.. Du Cros, has secured an option
on the purchase Of this ship by the nation.
1t tried to arrange for the ship to remain
in England long enough TO dem onstrate
its praoticability for military purposes, but
owing to lack of shelter big enough to
house 1t the airship must apparently re-
turn to Paris.
Mr. Du Cros concludes by appealing to
the generosity Of any body who is willing
to provide valuable asset for the nation
