orators. This may be extended later to
include great aviation base In order
that there may be closer cooperation
between the two branches of the air

Army men say that the recent voyage
Of the R-84 has done more than all the
efforts OF American sirmen to centre
public opinion In the United States on
the Importance Of the rapid development
Of the American dirigibls.
From what can be learned unofficially
this week regarding the commissions

made the most important in the country.
Not only will It be q school In which
all branches Of flying lighter than air
vessels will be taught and the great
dirisibles constructed. but It will be the
chief air base in military defence plans
for the Atlantic seaboard.
The Navy Department Is said to be
planning to construct the nrst great
