A light snow was falling, the wind
was at velocity of II miles and dark
ness was falling when the huge dirigi-
BILE was hauled from it's hangar short
ly before > O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
Carrying it's full crew of nine officers
and men, under Lieut.. o. A. Anderson
of Springfield. Utah, the big bag was
nosed into the north wind, and, with it's
four 300-horsepower Liberty motors
humming,, took off. 1t carried 1900
pounds of gasoline. It's capacity is
5000 gallons. and it is capable of a sus-

Lieut.. Anderson reported his maxi
mum speed as 45. miles an hour, and
the average'was 40 miles,. The airship
is capable Of attaining a speeds of 30
