AERIAL TORPEDO IS
new WAR INVENTION
Terrible Engine of Death May
Be Controlled by Wireless
Telegraphy.

Nantes. France.-Special: A new and
hrrible engine of destruction whose
junction in the air will be the same as
that of a torpedo at sea. has been de-
Iigned by Captain Reboul. Of the mill
harry general staff in Paris.
Captain Reboul's experiments with
Ais aerial torpedo made comparatively
little progress until the recent discoy-
cry of a stabiiizing device for aero
planes by the French inventor Moreau.
Mareau was able. by means of his in
vention, to fly in a strong wind for
over half an hour without touching his
hands to the levers OF his machine,
only using his feet on the pedals for
steering purposes. Captain Reboul has
applied Moreau's stabilizer to his own
invention and is able to foresee the time
when a fleet of winged torpedoes con
trolled by wireless telegraphy may be
launched against the enemy's air fleet
Immediately on its appearance.
1t is not impossible to believe that
in the warfare of the future dirigible
balloons and aeroplanes will go into
the air accompanied by q fleet of pro-
tecting satellites. Under control Of the
eirmen these torpedoes will act as es-
to the principal ship, and then be
launched against the enemy.
