MILITARY AERoy4rTTc POLICY

Jnderlylng the agitation for n more elaborate
provision Of military airships than England vet
possesses there may be some political bias Still
a desire not to be outdone by Germany in this
sort Of equipment is quite as inteligible and
creditable as the fear recently expressed in
Parliament that British sea power might be lost
in few years Participation In the Mansion
House meeting this week of men who are or
have been as closely associated with England's
navy Lord Charles Beresford Prince Henry
of Battenberg and Admiral Sir Percy Scott and
their sympathy with the demand for larger
aerial fleets are certainly not without signi1-
cance.
Advocacy Of a twopower standard In aerial
forces seems at first to be as logical as that of
its application TO the navy. Just now neither
France nor the United States is displaying great
activity in the construction of dirgible bal
looms or aeroplanes for use In war Hence no
great addition TO the number Of airships which
Germany Is planning is called for by the stand
ard favored by Sir Percy Scott Nevertheless
If airship is likely TO fight airship. as Dread
nought is expected to fight Dreadnought- each
in its own eement-his reasoning NAV he sound
1t is possible, Of course that attempts to drOp
torpedoes on an alrship may be made from an
other craft of the same kind Such warfare IS
anticipated by imaginative newspaper men
rather than by military men, but the chance
that the world will witness 1t perhaps deserves
official consideration 1t has also been sug,
gested that an invasion of a hostile country
with alrshps may be undertaken. but the con
ception of large army landing from vehicles
capable of carrying only a score of men apiece
may safely be disregarded
The thought uppermost in the mind OF Lord
Charles Beresford may have been that destruc-
tive missiles might be allowed TO fall on the
decl of England's Dreadnoughts and Indomit-
ables from dirigibe balloons or aeroplanes
Danger from that source is too serious to be
lightly passed over. But the question arises
how such attacks can best be met. Will it ever
be feasible to employ that method of warfare
without coming very close 10 the vessel against
which it is directed? VIII not the interference
of the wind. TO say nothing of the movements of
the target, render aim from an airship exceed
