GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF THE
NEW "RIGID AIRsHIPs,'
tBy Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 4.---Naval authorities
announce that the rigid airships" of
the super Zeppelin type now under
construction in Great Britain, will be
at least twice as good as anything
Britain now possesses and probably
superior to any other airships In the
world"
Although no details Of these new
airships have been made public the
naval authorities say the German
modern super-Zeppelins have ca
pacity of approximately 2,0oo,0 Gu
bic feet OF gas, and possess q range
of>action from 1000 to 5000 miles
with maximum full speed Of about
rs miles an hour and the ability 10
rise to height of about 10000 feet.
II is claimed that the rigid airships
now in use or about to be constructed
could, in settled weather, cross the
Atlantic and return without descend
ing. 1t is also asserted that q rigid
airship of 100000 cubic feet capac-
ity could carry commercial load of
about $50 tons over such a distance
as the trans Atlantic passage. Naval
authorities are quoted here as saying
that the building of these huge air
ships is a practicable proposition.
