BLIMPS CARRY LOAD OF DEATH
 DEPTH BOMBS

An American Balloon Base In Eng land. Sept, z. The" Bump IS '"' nickname which the American pilots have given to the little dIngloIe ar ar, sbips which are technically termed D. s.", or Submarine Scouts.
 The gas-bag or the Bhmp Is about 15O feet long and 50 feet m diameter The lower structure is virtually that of a scouting airplane of medium pow ger, so that the whole effect IS that ot a sort of a cross between alrplane ana balloon. The crew Is usually one pilo' and an observer. and the Speeu 's about 40 miles an hour. ,,
 The cargo is a load of bombs which work like a deStroyer'S depth charges exploding by water pressure depth of 20 to so feet. The carraige contains steering gear, bomb lever, wireless ap -paratus, camra and observation m strumentS. Al.
 Hundreds of Bhmps are constantly on duty around the coasts ot France and England. American pilots ana oO- servers are just beginning to take up this work. It IS the greatest U-boa' destroyer in existence If the men who work the BhmpS are to be beheV- ed One enthusiastic. American plIo: who had been dropping bombs up and down the Irish sea for month re- marked to The Associated Press cor raspondent, "The Bhmp is not only one of the ways of destroying U- Boats it is the way.
 The advantage that the BIimp mas over the seaplane is that it can stan' still in the air. If a C-boat diVe' down and lies out of sight on the oo' tom the Blimp sits over it until 1t de' cides to move on or come to the sur face. If the submarine does not move the Blimp is just as well content, fol ;r the meantime the wireless has beer at work. and trawlers are coming uI in the course of an hour or two wit' the necessary equipment to s'hoN' Mister Submarine out of hlS hole'
 If the submarine rises before maya boin arrives. the Blimp tackles alone with bombs. If the submarln tries to move away along the bottom of the sea. the Blimp follows its shad nv until it comes, sooner or latter q

a shallow spot where it can be effect lively dealt with.
 Subject to the Blimp's fuel supply and it's duration power in the air, there is little chance of escape for a U-boat once it has been sighted by one of these handy little dirigibles. The sighting or spotting of the U- boats is the great difficulty, for the seas around England are large places and the range of the individual Blimp is comparatively small.
 A larger type of Blimp is now be- inc used, known technically as the C.. r. or Coast Patrol. 1t carries a larger crew and greater supply of fuel and is used for detecting mine-fieldS as we'll as submarines.
