To say that. combined, they can swing

In the naval battles we shall see the
aerohydros Of France and England
united against the smaller equipment
of Germany and Austria, with Rus
sias principal hydro equipment close
to her own shores on coast defense
duty.
France is, undoubtedly, supreme as
far as her numerical strength of land
machines Is concerned. She could,
within a few months, add t. her pres
ent quota OF 745 land machines, $50
to 400 Others and the pilots to man
them But Russias equipment OF $50
land machines could not be increased

in mind that these figures include all

three to four years ago, but they are

Germany total at least %. These in

French OlrieibIes Fast.
France has an excellent fleet OF
dirigibles, however. some of them be-
ing exceedingly fast, and besides hold

military dirigibles hold the worlds du-

many military machines Of one form

practical way to estimate the aero

and day to day.

it is very amusing to read the vari-
