THE AIRSHIP BILL

Six hundred and forty million dol.
lars is to bo spent by the United
States for aerial warfare. Some little
significance can be- attached to the
great speed with which the appropria-
ton bill was rushed through both
branches of congress and enacted into
law. 1t was the one measure ON which
little time was wasted. A budding up-
position was quickly smothcrcd with
only slight, though steady, victories re.
ported for the allies ON the western
front the airship looms up as one OF
the real effective weapons OF the war
CharactorlstIcally enough, the United
States Is SELLING it and soi2ing il
quickly Congress- action is commend
able.
