TranSIantic Flight

The American people generally Will
watch with the deepest interest the
forthcoming flight Of the ZR-2, the
great new rigid airship from Howden.
England on August % on its trip
across the Atlantic Ocean. Members
of the naval air service predict that
the big arship will establish new
record for transatlantic flying and
estimate that the ZR-2 should make
the trip in ninety-six hours-tour
days and four nights.
The ZR-2 is the largest rigid air
ship yet constructed in any country.
Her length is 695 feet, her diameter
s. feet i inches, her capacity IS p
100000 cubic feet and she is capable
of lifting SO tons. She is the first Of
two rigid airships to become part
of the American fighting forces. The
other is the ZR-l, which is now
building.
The United States paid $2,OOO.OoO
for the airship. The hangar at Lake
hurst. n. ]. cost another $2,OOO,OOO.
A crew Of 500 men is required to get
the craft in and out of the hangar.
In July, 1919, the British dirigblc
R-3l, made the first transatlantic
nonstop aerial trip in history, going
from East Fortune. Scotland. to New
York in 1O8 hours and II minutes.
The ZR-2, larger and faster ship,
expected to clip considerable tine
from the record established by til"
British dirigible provided westerly
winds do not prove too much Of
handicap She viii have a cruising
speed varying from sixty TO eighty
nautical miles an hour and will be
able to remain in the air about
week when not in motion.

Plans for Reduction Made
By Senator Borah, of
Idaho.
SAVE $50, 100000
Wants Army Brought Back From Ger
many and Also Wants Ship Work
Stopped.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Reduction in
army and navy expenditures is the
only hope of reducing taxes, Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, declared in
the Senate today, supporting his reso-
luton to cut the army from 10000
to 100000 men.
"There are no places where we can
cut expenses to any appreciabIe ex-
tent except the army and navy" said
Senator Borah. IF we are not will
ing to do that we might just as well
tell the country that we will do very
we'll if we hold expenditures and
taxes where they now are and that
there is no hope for reducing taxes. !"
His proposed reduction In the army,
Senator Borah said, would alone save
S50,000,000 to $70,000,00o.
Senator Nelson, Republican, Min
nesota, urged reduction also in super
numerary" officers. Senator Borah
agreed that it was "ludicrous," to
have $4,000 officers for the present
army, adding that S25,00O,00O more
might be saved by reducing the Of
>ficer personnel.
Another way to save about $3.50
100000, Senator Borah said, would be
to abandon construction of navy ship,
that air navy tests off the Virginia
Capes had shown to be obsolete.
1t was Somewhat discouraging"
the Senator added, to see Great Bri-
tain planning four new great ships
now the eve of the disarmament; con-
ference and "even more discouraglng
to have Secretary Denny announce
right afterward that he would pro-
ceed with our building program The
British program probably followed
the American decision to proceed
with its building program he said.
Senator Borah interpolated de-
mand for return of the American
troops in Germany.
"One of the solemn pledges of the
campaign" he said. "was that this
army would be brought out Of Eu-
rope just as soon as the new admin
istration could issue the order. II
was repeated more than once and is
matter that is within our power to
fulfill. | would not ask it if condi-
tions had changed, but pe are no:
informed that they have changed"
Expenses Of about $1.000,000
monthly for the troops in Germany are
chargaablc to that county. Senator
Borah said, but are actually being
borne by the American taxpayers. as
Germany is unable to pay. If the
American troops are unnecessary
there. the Senator said, it was unfair
to pile up expense for Germany which
might retard her recovery.
Senator Brandegee, Republican,
Connecticut, said he also was "ai q
loss" to know why the troops were
being kept abroad.
"a reply ought not to embarrass
the administration, now that the war
is over" he said.
Senator Borah said the Senate
would have cut the army to 100000
men and Topped S100,000,00O more
from the Naval bill if it had not been
for opposition from the executive de-
partmentS.
Reduction of the army would be
demonstration of the United States
good faith, Senator Borah said, if done
just before the disarmament confer
