"Men-of-war will be protected best

"The attraction Of gravitation, be-

the repulsion which some way or

shipbuilder, graduate of the United
States Naval Academy and for several
years one of the chief constructors OF
the American navy, fouts the theory
that the airship in any OF its forms
will become a formidable war ma
chine.
Instead, Mr.. Nixon believes that
the death-dealing terror of the war OF
the future will be the electric shock.
This conclusion has been forced
upon his judgment by careful study
of the subject of new war agencies
and by closely watching the rnanoeu-
vres of the Wright aeroplane as 1t
sailed up the Hudson and circled the
representatives OF the worlds great
est navies.
In Mr.. Nixon's opinion werships
can guard against the danger of ex-
plosiyes that might be dropped upon
them by airships by specially pre-
pared armor. He believes. though,
that sooner or later there will he per,
fected gun or some other piece of
mechanism for hurting thunderbolt
that will shock to death every man
aboard a warshtp, irrespective of Its
protection.
"I am convinced" said Mr.. Nixon
to reporter, "that the thing could
be done now, but the mechanism is
SO crude that the thunderbolt, or cleo
tric impulse, would kill the man who
should release it. as we'll as the en-
amy It Ia, nossihle of coNrSa that

owing to its smaller dimensions seems
best adapted to such uses, especially
to be carried on men-of-war.
