When reminded yesterday that if he

Washington. Feb. 12.-Promlses Oh
cooperation with the government in Its
efforts to develop satisfactory Zeppelin
type aircraft for the army and navy
was made by leading American air
plane and rubber manufacturers at a
conference here to-day with Rear Ad-
miral David W. Taylor, chief construc-
tor Of the navy and head of the joint
army-navy board investigating the
dirigible problem. A preliminary sur
vey Of the materials and plants avail
able was begun. The manufacturers
expressed belief that big aircraft sim
liar to the German machines could be
turned out.
II is regarded as probable that some
method Of centralizing the work will
be necessary so that the facilities Of
all plants which can aid can be utilized.
No definite plans were made, however,
at to-day's preliminary discussion.

in offering to the government every AID

Officials view the Zeppelin problem
more as a commercial than scientific
one. With the funds available and the
cooperation of commercial plants they
feel certain Of their ability to con-
struct ships that could duplicate the
performances Of the German craft.
Much information has been received
from England and elsewhere as to the
nature OF Zeppelins brought down dur
ing the present war. Fragments OF the
frame OF one destroyed near London
have reached the Navy Department,
showing the peculiar trussed girder
construction Of an aluminium alloy to
reduce weight and yet secure rightly.
Since American automobile manufaet-
urers have made rapid progress recent
ly in reducing engine weight, i is felt
that the efficiency Of the German en-
gines can be equalled.
The only dirigible craft for which
the navy has contracted is a small
semi-rigid machine for school purposes.
II still is TO be delivered to the ayia-
ton school at Pensacola.

and Suggests Remedy

Warning that the Atlantic coast, ana
particularly New York City, is in dan
ger Of an enemy attack from the air
within thirty days was uttered by Rear
Admiral Robert f. Peary, chairman oil
the Aerial Coast Patrol Commission
last night at the Pan-American Aero
nautic Exposition.
This country had a surprise when
the Deutschland raised its coming
tower out Of our waters" said he. ut
had a shock when the U-53 sank sew
eral ships or Nantucket.
within thirty days we may nave q
thousandiold greater shock from inc
air, with ourselves as victims lnsteaa
of spectators. Thousands Of tons OF
high explosives dropped on this city OF
Boston or Charleston or Washington
is certainly a possibility.
Peary Suggests Defences
"Such an air raid" said he, "is no
more impossible than the feats OF the
Deutschland or the U-53. To-day the
man who believes nothing is impossible
until it happens is fool. II he holds
a responsible position he may little
later be regarded as a criminal as
we'll"
Admiral Peary's remarks were not
limited to pointing out dangers. A con
structive plan Of coast defence mas
beer for some time formulated in his
mind-a plan which he presented on
February in the form OF memoran-
dunn 10 the President.
This memorandum, after pointing out
dangers, suggested cures. HE recon-
mended first that the training OF 2,oOO
aviators within six months and 5,oOo
within a year be made mandatory, and
then declared that ito give the United
States proper air power we need, III
their order, the following:
"First-A separate independent de-
partment Of aerOnautics, with place
in the Presidents Cabinet.
"Second-An aviation class of thou
sands Of young men throughout the
country.
"Third--A comprehensive aero coast
defence system of interconmunicable
air stations along the sea fronts.
Combination Is Urged
"Fourth-Some powerful interest
which can combine and develop exist
ing conflicting interests into a great air
industry
Two steps toward the realization OF
this idea have recently been taken
One was the unanimous recommends
tion OF the House Committee on Naval
Affairs that the government obtain
control of the basic patents governing
