GERMANY PLANNING
AN AIRSHIP FLEET

say anything of the moral effect of
this sudden aerial attack, or of the
panic which would be created by
single German. ship making demons
tration over London.
The majority of the people in Eng
land laugh at the whole idea, and even
aeronautical writer's pooh pooh the
possibility of attack by dirigibles, and
yet the records made by the Zepplein
in 1908 show that a ship of this type
has travelled over 300 miles and Ia
ter records show its speed to be up to
35 miles an hour with power to as
cend to an altitude of over a mile. 1t
can carry at least a ton of explosives
and sufficient supplies for a run of
over 500 miles. The Decline distance
between the most contiguous parts of
Germany and England is under $50
miles. Yet the whole notion of aerial
attack by vessels of the Zeppelin type
is ridiculed in England. AT least three
highly equipped factories in Germany
are now making dirigibles, and Count
Zeppelin alone has $1,500,000 for the
work.
No Success in England.
England has not yet built a success
full dirigible, her two attempts were
failures-too slow. too small in carry
ing capacity, too limited in range of
action, and altogether unsuitable for
oversee work. At present she has an
other vessel on the stocks, at the i'm
poverished establishment at Farms
borough, where she can not lay down
a really modern ship. This vessel will
be her product for 1909, and the ad-
miralty may add another experimental
dirigible, as promised. There is no
private factory in the British Isles
which has ever produced a really sue
cessful dirigible. Thus, by 1910 Eng
land may have at most two non-rigid
dirigibles of more or less experimental
types. and probably too small for prac-
teal work. In 1911 she may be no bet
ter off and may be content to produce
two more ships, also more or less ex
perimental, and by the critical period
of 1912 she can add only one more.
Unless most extraordinary activity
is evinced at once in making prepa-
rations England will be utterly unable
to produce, by 1912, a fleet of ships
capable of giving her any degree of
security against the attack of vessels
like the German aerial fleet 1t has cost
Germany years of well-organized pre-
paration, and the expenditure of over
So, 5000 to accomplish this. The Ger
man people of their own free will
gave Count Zippelin $11,375,000 to car
ry on his work and by 1912 most of
that money will have been translated
into a splendid and Well-tried aerial
fleet. Before 1908 France, it is COM
puted, spent over $750,000 on expert
mental work, which resulted in the es-
