Yanks. who caught up with the Bucks
yesterday. The Bucks likely Will
have to take the measure of Sherrod

the Nationals were due to lose ground
in the flag race today, but they are
not a superstitious lot, and that de-
feat yesterday left them in fighting

Dr. Moore said that the export of

possesses Il practical monopoly of

far-reaching possibilities in com
mcrcial aviation, but these would be
endangered by the construction of
hydrogen ships, which, he thought,
would probably burn up.

necessary to rip the bags to pieces
by means of large bomb or shell
before the airship could be brought
to the ground. In future wars, air
ships will be built sufficiently large
to carry a number of small fighting
airplanes and these can be dropped
or recovered by the airship at will.
at is not difficult to appreciate
what fleet of such airships could
do to a city like New York, London
or Paris. Fifty 100000 cubic foot
