The newspaper points out that all

Akron, 1915, 900, was paid before
the airship ever was accepted, after
which it was learned that the vessel
is from 10000 to $4,000 pounds over
weight.
The Sun calls this "a remarkable
error in an airship designed to
carry a total military load of only
10000 pounds"
Inclined to Go Whole Way
Having accepted the dir%ible,
the navy department seems in
clined to go the whole way and
generously waive the penalty for
failure to comply with specifications.
ut is still more astonishing to
read that after all this the secre-
tary of Nhe navy, who recently felt
compelled to make cuts of SCI ,000,-

to go ahead with the construction
of the sister ship to the Akron"
