THE GIANT DIRIGIBLE, R-A.

The British have the distinc-
ton Of having constructed the
worlds largest dirigible. 1t was
originally planned as a war
measure, contemplating the
bombing Of Berlin, and other
German cities, in exactly the
same manner as the early Zep-
pelin raids stirred London. As
a battle-cruiser it carried two
four-inch guns, several machine
guns, four bombs weighing SO
pounds each, capable of destruc-
ton in area CT 10000 square
feet, and, eight smaller bombs Of
2o0 pounds each.
When the armistice was
signed in Novmber, it was de.
cidcd to transform her from a
monster death dealing terror t,
a harbingef CT future CON-
nlercial intcrcoarze across
oceans, and tie weight given to
carry guns and bombs were
transferred for petrol in order
TO give her a larger cruising
range.

1T COULDN'T BE HELPED.

In his report on the activi-
ties Of the Training Camp Com
mission MIR. Fosdick speaks Of
some criticism directed against
the Y. M. C. A. as being entire
ly unjustified. But, in one par
ticular, he admits some short.
comings. He says:
Another ground for critic
ism of the Y. NJ. c.. A. which
Mr.. FOsdick said was somewhat
justified, was in the character
of its personnel. While many
of it's own men were well quail
fed for their work HI said,
many others were utterly un-
adapted to this purpose and had
no common ground in mixing
with our virile, ad-blooded
young soldiers" He found al
SO. however, the field of caoiea
was limited naen Of pr per quail
fications beiEg in most cases in
the army"
But, while tn were a few
in the organization, even these
were probably doing their best..
Their poor equipment for the
work should not discount their
zeal to perform a public service.
We doubt if there were many in
this organization who were act
uated by entirely ignoble mo-
tives.
