NEW ITALIAN WAR BALLOON
PROVES TO BE FAILURE
DirigibIe ACCompIishes 300-MiIe
Trip with Difficulty

ROME, Nov. 26.-A long criticism of
the new Italian military dirigible bal
loon No. 2. which performed the voy-
age of 300 miles from Bracciano to
Campalton, near Venice, but only after
accidents and stoppages which pro-
longed the journeys from one to three
DAYS, is published by the Tribuna.
The critic attributes the misadven-
lures which befell the balloon to the
fact that it is supplied with a flexible
keel of iron, weighing 300 kilogrammes
(672 pounds). The original type of the
italian dirigibles, that constructed in
1908, was furnished with a rigid metal
keel but as this was found unservice-
able in the new model a flexible keel
was substituted for it.
The critic points out, however, that

schoolboys, hurting clubs, friendly So

the chief officials of the league. A de-

held aloft, on some of which were
printed the words, 1.-THE Gaelic league

One remarkable feature of the pro-
cession was a detachment of 100 jar
veys on horseback. They carried cards
on which were printed in large green
letters "Anti-Taxi association" They
were the members of the Car Owners
and Car Drivers association, who are
opposed to the Introduction of taxi
cabs into Dublin. While the process
sion was a large one some of the sec

bands present, including several bands

While thousands of pilgrims were

The elephant, which belonged to Jung
