unwilling to continue using the
highly inflammable hydrogen, laid
up the Graf Zeppelin and suspsn-

for helium at home. Helium was
found in Germany at least enough
to run the one large airship sue
cessor to the Hindenburg, then
ready to go into service. But the
war struck before Germany could
exploit her own helium supply.
Loss of the Shenandoah, Akron
and Macon also had dampened the
ardor of even some rigid airship ad-

Rear Admiral Rosendahl and
