A statement To tho public hN the

circulated in the western territory as
la justification for the action OF en-

for the most part is wholly untrue or

"The principal address will be given
by an eminent iurist from outside the

been given over To the discussion of
needed legislation. Every lawyer has
some idea that he would like to see
made into law. You are no exception
to the rule Here is the opportunity
to formulate that idea. and by joining
forces with others to get something
done
Neither the individual lawyer nor
the state Bar association has had the
influence upon legislation that either

Because the state Bar association has
not had the support needed TO make
lii of sufficient importance to com
mand the attention or law makers.
"Wil you not make an fort to be

ern armies, where aeroplanes may be
supposed numerous and their pilots ready
to take risks, the operations of dirlgibles
will be, no doubt. chiefly conducted under
cover of darkness or in strategic recon-
noissance far removed from the field Of
battle.
A large diIigible can carry over half
"A ton of bombs or torpedoes. In view of
the great target which It presents, and
the provisions made in European armies
for The attack of dirlgibles by shrapnel
fire. it is unlikely that it Will be at
tempted to drop bombs on an army in
march or upon fortified place. Further
more, at night II may not be possible to
drop bombs with any chance of hitting
a given object. There will be cases, how
ever, where dlrigible may be sent out to
destroy a bridge, an enemy's dirigible
shed. an arsenal. canal lock or other
large object. The dlrigible can make it's
journey by night, and before dawn, as
soon as there Is sufficient light, can de-
| scend close to It's target, drop half a
dozen 1OJ-pound guncotton torpedoes and
be away before II has been fired on
The surprise is no doubt TO play an i'm

OF dlrigibles,
BOmbs from AirShips.
The effect Of bombs dropped from aloft
in no way compares with that OF shells
from great guns on account OF lack Of
penetration before explosion. The best
that can be expected is a surface ex-
ploslon and incendiary effect. The moral

Doubtless, the damage may not be very

range ~ searchlights. Its motors would

| The rules Of civilized warfare probably

upon an enemy's city. and in case the

II seems to be the general opinion that
the use OF dirigibles viii be more for
I reconnaissance than for offensive opera

operations promise a change OF success.
