II. G.. Coulter, a first lieutenant In
the coast artillery service OF the Unit
ed States army who Is spending his
vacation at the home of his parents
in ogden, Is watching with deep in
terest tho progress of aerial nayiGa-
tlon as he realizes that when airships
and aeroplanes are somewhat Inn
proved and made geTyiceable for pur-
poses. the whole plan of defense by
Notifications and battleshlps must un'
dergo radical change In a statement
made TO this paper, he says
Recent developments in earial nav
lgation lead 10 the conclusion that
aIrships will play an important part
in the wars of the future, but 1t is
doubtful if their usefulness can be
fully determined without putting them
TO the test OF actual conflict The
German government, with the aid OF
Count Zeppelin, has gone the farthest
in the work of preparation for aerial
warfare, In that it has in its pos
session few airships capable of car
rylng a very light armament In their
present state of development. how
ever, these would not be capable of
infIictlng very serious damage on an
enemy,
with the problem of the offensive
In so embryonic stage, the problem
of the defensive. has, OF course, re-
ceived very little attention.. The con-
sideration OF the problem from either
standpoint is as yet largely matter
OF conjecture. The fact exists, how
ever, that as soon as airshipa reach
state of any considerable develop
ment as fighting machines. our coast
delenSes and our navy will be pracu-
cally helpless. What the navy most
breads at the present time Is the NOR
tar. 1t Is hardly necessary TO state
that Nhe mortar is constructed to
throw shells 6llod with explosive to
great height, so that in coming
down they pierce that most vulner-
able part OF Il battleship-the deck.
BY means of carefully worked'out
position-flnding system, our coast de-
fense mortar batteries are now able
to drop from so TO 40 per cent of their
shots inside a given circle nifty yards

waterworks system and again he has
happened along" to offer advice and
collect some $3.50 for present and
past services.
He played the part of good friend
and kind counselor so ably a year
ago that we had made up our mind
there was no ulterior motive In his
gratuitous suggestions. but the
dcnouement of the last few
days has caused his deep concern TO
take on a golden hue

TO Prevent Wireless Interference.

which deiies interference and which is
now being tested here.
This Is the improved Fessenden sys-

nection OF the Weather Bureau with

The fact that interference by other
wireless systems can be eliminated Is
