First of Type Makes Fine Show
ing on TfaI-Unifed States
Will Supplement Submarine
Chasers and Destroyers With
Airships.

Washington, May 3O.-Navy Off
cials, enthusiastic over the successful
builders trial of the first of 16 nom
rigid dirigible balloons ordered by the
department. two months ago, said to-
night that the dirigible program
was assured of completion much SOON
er than had been expected. The air.
ship left Chicago at midnight Mon
day night and arrived without accI-
dent yesterday afternoon at Akron.
Ohio. The contract called for deliv-
cry within four months but the build
ers will turn the first ship over for ac-
tive duty in coast patrol within less
than 80 days of the date of the con-
tract and thereafter one or more will
be delivered every week.
The trip from Chicago to Akron
covered more than 400 miles. 1t was
made under direction of the builders.
the Goodyear Rubber company, and
did not constitute an official test but
1T was so successful navy officials are
confident that valuable type similar
to the "Blimp" of the British navy
has been produced. They have little
fear that the airship will not make
the required 40 miles an hour during
her official trial trip within the next
ten days.
The ship was designed by Naval
Constructor j. G. Hunsaker of the
bureau of construction and repair and
the unofficial test is regarded as hav-
ing proved conclusively that the
weight problem has been solved. The
second of the craft, also building at
the Goodyear plant, will be ready for
trial within few days and the seven
others awarded to that concern will
come along at intervals.
The ships will be added to the coast
patrol service as rapidly as they are
completed. Crews are being trained
at the naval aviation station at Pensa-
cola, where the first navy dirigible
DN-1, an older type craft suitable
only for training purposes, is in daily
operation.
The navy department expects the
entire 16 ships will be in service bv
the middle of August and that thew
will be distributed to operate in pairs
along the Atlantic coast, working
from special bases ashore, and supple
ment the operations of submarine
chasers, reserve destroyers and other
naval craft now on guard duty.

slons of fear that Union would be
taxed to capacity to accommodate the
annual gathering of the grand lodge

and grace of the host cast off every
fear and kindled new feeling among
the Pythians which rebound to the
good OF Union. The reception and en-
tertainment provided by the Knights
and citizens of the Getty that suits"
were warmly commended by the Wis
itors. The plans showed that Union
is firm believer in preparedness"
and after every official and delegate
had been looked after there were
many homes still open for the
Pythians. Old Sol did his best to
break up the plans for the entertain
ment of the grand lodge and succeed

had to be abandoned, but several hum
dred braved the weather to enjoy the
hospitality and friendly greeting of
the good people of Union at the re-

THRILLING BATTLES
FOUGHT IN THE AIR

British Front in France. via Ion-
don, May 30.-(From a Staff Core
spondent of the Associated Press.)-
The recent lull in the fighting has had
no effect whatever on the British
aerial offensive which continues dav
and night with unrelenting intensity.
In the last few days there have been
witnessed some of the most desperate
air battles of the entire war. One or
two of these have been fought at the
unprecedented height of 10000 feet,
or more than three and one-half miles
from the earth.
Recently there was a duel in which
a British pilot, having run out of am
munltion for his machine pun. oot
close enough to his antagonist to
shoot him down with his revolver
This incident served to recall the fact
That when the war began the only
weapons which aerial pilots had were
pistols and carbines.
Old Machines vs. New.
Commenting today on the dazzling
attitudes at which many combats oc-
cur nowadays, a pilot said that when
he first went to war in 1914, he flew a
machine which took an hour and a
quarter to reach 5000 feet.
That's nothing" said one of his
comrades, "the old bus I had in those
days couldn't reach 5000 feet at ALL"
