When the United States Navy con-

larger than the RIA plans were i'm
mediately started for a hangar to
house It.
The R-34, which made the round
trip across the Atlantic. is 643 feet
long. 90 feet high. and of 100000
cubic feet gas capacity.
The new Navy hangar at Lakehurst
will accommodate two dirigibles both
more than twice as large as the R-34.
1t will be larger than any hangar in
the world, either in construction or
plan.
Plans and specifications were pre-
pared and contracts awarded last fall.
The building as originally projected
was to be 500 feet long. Changes
since then have been suggested to in
crease the length to nearly 1000 feet.

TURKS MUST GET
OUT OF EUROPE
Bainbridge Colby Signs First
Note as Secretary of
State.

The original position of the Ameri-
can government that the Turks should
be expelled from Europe is restated
in a note to the allied supreme coun-
Gil, which has been prepared at the
State Department and which will be
transmitted soon: The note will bear
the signature Of Bainbridge Colby,
the new Secretary Of State, and will
be the first diplomatic paper to be
signed by him.
Reply to Allies.
The communication is in reply to an
inquiry from the French and British
governments as to this country's 8
views on the Turkish settlement. An
early announcement at the depart
ment said the note had been dispatch
ed. but it developed that this was
erroneous. Officials were not certain
when it would go forward. nor would
they say whether it would be sent
through the British and French embas-
sizes here or through the American en-
bassies at London and Paris.
The position of the American gov-
ernment is understood to be that
there Is no sound reason for retain.
ing the Turkish capital in Europe.
The United States is said to take the
view that the contention that expul-
sion Of the Turks might be resented

open their use would soon become
universal.
AS a passenger carrier the new d.
rigible can easily accommodate twen-
ty, besides the crew. The expense Of
handling these giants of the air is
still a matter of conjecture. There
is no doubt, however. that the actual
attempt to commercialize this mode
Of travel will bring forth many eco
nomics not apparent at present.
The success of the United States
Navy dirigible experts in handling the
R-34 proved them entirely capable of
having one of their own. 1t Is typical
of the spirit Of the American Navy
that they should stand among the
leaders Of the world in this most prac-
tical method of aerial travel.
The training of men to care for and
direct the new airships will be done
in England, where the first one will
be built. SOthers are planned Of in
creased size to be constructed over
here after the experience of our ex-
perts with the English built ship.
The men who are to be given the
honor of manning and looking after
these new airships are to be specially
selected from various air stations or
recruited from civilian life. by reason
of special qualifications. Already
there is great rivalry among officers
and men to obtain the desired ap-
pointment.
