BALLOON TARGETS
USED by GERMANY.
Holes Made by Ordinary Bullets
Fail to Drop Air
ship.

Berlin, January 15.-As Germany now
owns the finest aerial fleet in the world,
It is not at all surprising that the mil :
itary authorities should be concerned
greatly about the question Of firing
successfully upon military airships.
Anew days ago two companies Of in
fantry fired at captive balloon, thir-
ty-scven feet In length and nloored at
a height of S,S4O feet; 1880 cartridges
We're used by one company in five min
utes, while tho second company fired
400 cartridges in two minutes; the
balloon continued In the air, and on
being brought down it was found that
over seventy-slX bullets had struck 1t.
Thus, the uselessness OF the ordinary
bullet In damaging balloon has been
'Ahown once more. The holes made by
the bullets are Very small, and they ar
closed automatically as soon MS they
are made; thus the loss Of gas EisS al
most inappreciable and the balloon is
unaffected. OF course the results OF
firing at an airshtp would be stillmore
unfavorablc. The military authorities
have decided either to discover an In
candescent bullet. which Will ignite the
gas. OF balloon, ana cause It to eN-
plode or to give UP all further att
tempts to bring down a balloon by rifle
hiring.

This credit Belongs to George Walk

In Memphis after winning almost every
turf classic in Germany IN the course
OF SIX years. The German statistics
show Walker trained horses In pos
session OF 100000 marks. but Walk

lower figures named.
Two triumphs In the German Derby,
n pair OF victories In the Grand Prix
OF Baden and two Futurities of the
German turf were won by Walker In
the course of his worl. for the Vein

as the Kniser's Shield Ga trophy offered
by the German Emperor) and other
classics were won. and American turf
