The warfare OF the future what

To answer this question, The Times
commissioned those expert warriors

Adolph as an accomplished diver. to
conduct a battle between an armed
airship and a submarine destroyer.

CHAPTER LxvIII-(continued.)
By W. Holt Whtfs

And all through the night the
searchlights from the airships played
about the city, giving the people there
an enormous sense OF security and
peace.
At the searchlights were extln-
guished, and Strong steered a strait ht
course for Berlin, leading the way In
the Victor. The Princess. with Ar
buthnot, followed, and then came the
State and the Di.
Ii was high noon when they reach
ed Berlin. and above the city they
could see-her huge bulk shaking and
quivering in a stiff breeze-the I'M
wieldy war balloon, the Deutschland
Then Strong's heart smote him. It
seemed so unfair, so miserably mean,
to take such defenseless vessel Bu,
with the plan that he had at the back
Of his mind IL was necessary 10 de-
stroy even the feeble Deutschland.
He was determined, however, To do
the business In as sportsmanlike a
spirit as he could. and so he tele-
graphed TO Churston In the Di TO say
that to him would fall the task OF
either destroying or capturing the
enemy single-handed.
Now. Churston was merely lad,
/ and being enormously healthy, grin
ned delightedly to himself at the
prospect OF coming TO grips with the
! Germans; and while the three great
airships hung In line overhead he
descended on a level with the Deut
schland and slgnaled to her to sur
render.
He was careful. however, not to APP
proach too close. for he saw that the
Deutschland carried six men and thai
those men were armed. And he knew
that one stray bullet getting home
would suffice, not merely 10 destroy
him. but TO set the Di adrift, and
thereby lessen Strong's chances.
Strong. indeed, had done an exceed
ingly risky thing in selecting the "Di'
for battle. The "Di" was the small
est and most mobile Of the craft. and
therefore It was upon the DR. that
he relied for making the rapid as
cents and descents which he bad
/ planned for himself IN Berlin.
| He had, however. immense faith In
| Churston. and. moreover, he desired
| to see for himself as very practical
experiment how such an airship as
the "Di" would shape in battle with
war balloon such as the "Deutsch-
land"
And so. though u was with Just a
pang OF anxiety that he loosed the
DIR on the Germans, he was none
the less sure In his mind that he was
choosing the better way
The Germans stolidly ignored the
signal calling on them TO surrender

Some minutes were spent In these
exercises. when Churston, not desiring
10 receive peremptory instructions
from Strong, which would practically
signify that he was not conducting
the battle as he should, decided that
II the "Deutschland" would not sur
render. and that the difference in his
resources and those OF the enemy pre-
