TO Replace AIrshIp Reported

London, Sept. 14.-Reports that the
American and British Governments
may arrange for the transfer of one of
Great Britain's remaining airships to
American ownership to replace the
wrecked ZR-2 have received some
credence in American official circles
here. where it is stated the American
Government, some time prior to con-
tracing for the ZR-2. considered the
desirability of obtaining one of the
former German Zeppelins for expert
mental and instructional purposes.
When these German air fighters were
turned over to the Allies, Italy, France
and England received one each and
America none.
Great Britain's Zeppelin. the LII,
is the largest rigid airship in exiytence
now that the ZR-2 is gone. Her cubic
capacity is 2,420, 900 feet, or $4,000
feet less than the ZR-2. The length
of the LII Is T43 feet, as against COS
feet for the ZR-2.
