AIRCRAFT ARE NOT
DANGEROUS
ARNOLD LUPTON, MEMBER OF
PARLIAMENT, SAYS EXPENSE
OF AERIAL INVASION OF ENG
LAND WOULD BE PROHIBITIVE

London, June 24.-Arnold Lupton.
the member of parliament for Slea-
ford, and a well-known engineering
and scientific authority, has been
making series Of calculations in re-
gard to the possibility of an aerial
fleet destroying London, which should
do great deal to allay the senseless
panic which has been so evident of
late"
ITO destroy London with explosives
carried in aeroplanes or airships."
says Mr.. Lupton. would cost the at
lacking nation $4,000. 900"
This is how he works 1t out:
IAN aeroplane as at present con-
structed could not carry more than
200 pounds of dynamite. 1t would
need 10000 pounds of the explosive
to destroy the Bank of England, and
therefore fifty aeroplanes would be
necessary for that exploit alone, as
thdt CNCly &c vi
dropped hit its mark.
ITO lay waste the Royal Exchange
would require twenty-five more
aeroplanes, and another dozen for the
Mansion house.
eff we take the case Of airships, :"
says Mr.. Lupton, eft would need six
Zeppelins to wreck the Bank Of Eng
land. To effect the destruction of
every square of London, 10000
bombs Of fifty pounds each would
have to be dropped, or, for the whole
of London, 1000, 900 bombs That is,
that every one hit it's mark,
which would be impossible to vessels
in midair. The number would
probably be nearer 100000.
ITO carry these explosives fleet
Of 100000 airships would have to sail
