Special Correspondssce TO Tue srS.

LONDON. Aug. 25.--Recently a sum
GENTLY guarded description revealed the
fact that Britain possessed a new class
of airship comparable to some extent
with the German Zeppelin. Neutral cap
tains. it Is said, arriving at certain east
coast ports are enthusiastic in their adj
miration Of the new airships. In their
opinion the British mode Is far more
readily handled md altogether less cum
bersome than the German craft.
The difficulties which lay In the way
Of competing with the type Of airship
which is the result of Count Zeppelin's
life work were serious.
The small dirigible was not difficult
to construct. n some time ago Great
Britain was thoroughly supplied with
hat type. The large dirigible. corre-
spending to the Zeppelin. was a much
moro difficult thing to build. as 1t In
volved problems Of aerostatics with which
British constructors had little expert
ence. and the fact that France. with all
her aeronautical experience. which In
cluded the pioneer work On this SUBJ
ject. had not seen ut to create a Zeppelin
fleet, indicated very clearly the difficult
ties In the way.
But 1t wal Britain's business. for the
real value Of the great dirigible Is its
service for the fleet, and the naval prob
lem Is OF course essentially hers. The
problem to he solved involved questions
OF new forms Of valve. new kinds Of
dope. new methods Of welding and struc-
ture. and the acquiring Of sufficient guam
titles OF aluminium. which happily did
not prove very dificult. The further
work to be tackled was the creation OF air
sheds to accommodate sucn monsters.
