HOUSE VOTES MONEY
FOR ARMY AlReHlPs
OBy Walter wellman.o

(By Walter Wellman.)
WASHINGTON.-Airships are to
form an important branch Of the
American military service. provided
the senate agrees TO an action taken
by the house. The house voted $780,
900 for army purposes, 100000 of
which 1t Is understood can be used
for construction and maintenance Of
airships. The vote was accompanied
by a number OF short speeches, most
OF the members taking the patriotic
view that inasmuch as all the other
first-class powers are going ahead with
aerial craft as a military adjunct the
United States should not lag behind.
Both Democrats and Republicans
spoke and voted for the appropriation
and men OF both parties were against
1t. But 1t carried by handsome ma
jority and 1t Is believed the senate will
agree. Thanks to the vigorous educar
tional efforts of General Allen, head
of the army signal office. and others

An illustration of the possible uses
OF airships In war Is found In the
siege of Port Arthur. The valiant
efforts and great sacrifices made By
the Japanese In forcing the fortiflcar
