_ THE PRESENT Will

and Aeroplaneu '

American, New York)

M6899 as the news that comes from

Europe must of necessity be. there is

all excuse for scientific speculation on ue most interesting of technical ques- ons to be decided by the present war

-the military value of the highly de- veloped air fleets of the Powers en- Based.

I The French equipment offers the 938! Dlllzllng problems. The war started before any French diriglble was completed even .one-half as large as the standard German types. If any 01 those planned and reported building should Dull ln an appearance at the eleventh hour, there would he no ques- ton but the lack of any experence in handling units so vastly exceeding in me any familiar standard migml prove disastrous under the rough con- ditions of war. The disaster that be- fell the British ‘Mayfiy' proved that conclusively. A

There is little secrecy about mili-

fllfy “"°Dlaning except as to the number and organization of flyers, which is least known in the case oi Germany. Little difficulty has been opposed to studying every detail of French and German army aeroplanes. But of the largest type of German dir- iglbles, which doubtless are in a class by them selves, very little is known.

The New Zeppellns and The Old

Barring the latest passenger airshlp

'Saclisen’ and the military one that got into temporary control of the French anthoritles after the famous lending at Luneville, none of the new- er Zeppelins has been publicly pictur- ed or described. A foreign traveller who recently attempted to snapshot the l‘Z I' after it had been damaged in a stormy landing had his camera prompt- ly confiscated. In spite of the secrecy maintained, a close observer can glean not a few important data on the capa- city of the newest rigid alrships, so far the only representatives of the largest and most potent size of dirig- lbles, by piercing together odds and ends of news. The most advanced craft-the new naval airship ‘LllI'- has the enormous displacement of 32,- 000 cubic meters. After a trip of thir- ty-five hours, at an average speed of 62 miles an hour, it had enough fuel left over for sixteen hours more. That trip touched Basel, Frankfurt, Metz, Bingen, Bremen, Heligoland, Stettin, the Baltic, Potsdam, and Berlin, but not over the shortest distance. Be- tween Metz and Blngen, flying with the wind, a speed of 94 miles an hour was l realized. The wireless equipment cov- ered a range,..both in sending and re- ceiving, of 469 miles, and kept in com- munication with Fredrichsliafen, on Lake Constance, while flying over I-Ieligoland. 'Lili' mounts an electric searchlight of 40,000 candle-power, capable of brightly illuminating the ground from an altitude of 4.500 feet,

tobe used intermittently, especially in

wtlns bombs. simon- sem-cniignta‘ are carried by all German airlhips.

The second dlrigible built tor the

Davy is the wooden ‘SLIl,' the sec- ond improved vessel of this type. With its new framing, it looks much like 4 Z9lJl>elin. The hull, however, is more spindle-shaped. Four cars car- fyills motor of 180 horse-power each, “fe 1°°l6\Y suspended, and one pro- Deller shaft, is directly placed behind each car. There is a navigating car, in front. and platforms for artillery pn both sides, in thecentre. The SLII’ displaces 23.000 cubic meters, and supports a useful load of over eight tons, but it can, nevertheless.. reach an altitude of 7.500 feet. The - speed is well over flftymiles an hour. ..

Bomb-Dropping Practice .With Zep-

pellrls .

In addition to these two naval air-

ships, there are completed eight ml- lllry Zepplins; the older ones recently lengthened to ipcrease their capacity, the newer of very considerable size. It goes without saying that the three passenger ships of the ‘Delag’ are by now converted into armed warcraft identical with the rest, and that in the dockyards at Friedrichshafen and Potsdam work is going on night and day on reserve ships. This gives a fleet, barring the 'Z I,' under repair,of just twelve rigid, monster dirigibles,to which the enemy can oppose nothing adequate. Successful target practice wth machine guns and cannon, and in dropping great weights of explosives has been long conducted on these vesV sels, as well as in the.accurate drop png of tons of the highest explosives. The only art yet to be learned is dodg- ing the enemy’s fire. That only the experinece of actual war can teach. For this reason it seems unlikely that the actual dreadnoughts will appearai the outset in an aggressive,role,whlch would be so much more dangerous than long-range scouting . The potentlalit- ies of a skilful use of their fighting. strength appear so vast that a com- mander would naturally hesitate tc risk their loss by trying to do tor: much before experience has become adequate.

Scouting flights, on the other hand,

can be made in such secrecy, especially at nght, that doubtless many of them could never be reported. Travelling leisurely over great distances, thesi diriglbles, in enabling the German commander to know exactly how the enemy‘s uiobilizatlon was progressing would enable him to play a gami successfully, which to the uninltlated might appear unreasonable and dar- ing.

Where The French Air Fleet Stands

The French air fleot‘s time seems

on the contrary, not yet to have come Their slow dirigibles would risk much more in starting out on long trips over an enemy's country, not only from at-. tack, but from the craft’s own limi- tations. For very extended aeroplane trips,wlth only hostile soil below, cv- en the French flyers do not seem to have so far shown great inclination.

Attacking aeroplanes run infinitely

less risk than bomb-throwing dirigl- bles, yet with all the numberless flock of French machines available, one solitary instance of dropping abomb, near Nuremberg, has been reported.

American travellers have reported

though they had been governed large- ly by theirludivdual feeling as to risks to be taken. The attempt at Nuremberm 0f.destroying ,s railway far inland. where trains are easily switched to another route, seems use- less. yet would be less risky than at- tacking more importpnt and more C1080!! S'-llfded Jllnclilbns. The ease of bringng every rifle within several 'square miles to bear .on the same

aeroplanes _Blight account for the al- leged shooti down of a French liyer over the fortress of Wesel. lt seems especially _surprising that not more has been heard, of attempts to destroy the all-important dlrlgible sheds. Tire news mlsht be _suppressed in Germany, but if such plans had suc- ceeded the news would surely _have come fr_oi_n French~sources. As each shed is surrounded by an aerodrome, it is easily guarded by aeroplane pa- rols. The .great plant in Friedrlchs- chafen is fortunate in being close to the lake, and a great hydroplane fac-, tory, that of Potsdam, is being pro- tected by the monster aerodrome 'Jo-i hannethal.' That dazzling search- lights (blinding an aviator so that he cannot determine the location of the` shaded shed). and special artillery will not be lacking seems a foregone con- clusion, One might also expect an en-. campment of infantry, supplemented by machine rifles, to fringe the grounds on all sides, ready to concen- trate fire on anything above'at a mo- ment's notice.

Protecting German Alrshlp Harbors

the mounting of machine guns on the Cathedral of Cologne and on the roof of an hotel in Cologne, but little sus pected their true purpose of protect ing one of the principal airsliip sheds of Germany The French may now regret having neglected the Germans' systematic development ol’ night ily ing The stories of the whole night sky between Paris and the Eastern frontier blazing with searchlights read picturesquely enough but if one re members that all the searchlights of the fortress of Toul failed to pick up a French dirigible whose time of coming had been announced, they lose significance, if the aircraft’s aim is merely unobserved passage Noth ing is seen at a distance and dodged so easily as the long, pale shaft of a searchlight. If target practice against the ground with cannon should bc -equally far developed as against acr- lal foes, to' plant a shell from afar out of the dark as some point guarded by 1 searehlight, without the risk of be- ‘ng detected-which in dropping bombs would be very real-seems perfectly feasible, but hardly worth trying, when victory itself depends on gath- -ering information without the enemy's suspecting it. At war altitudes, Zep- \-uns are now perfectly silent. With their great inernal resources they may lnow be hovering, nighifiy, over the enemy’s country for whole nights, re- porting observations by their long- range wireless, as unseen as the Eng- lish crulsers"now off New York. Little inf the 'LlII’s' 35-hour trip could be ‘ traced from the testimony of observers on the ground, although most of it was made in daylight, and there was no attempt at concealment. Great damage could doubtless be done by bomb throwing, but the possible use-

- g .. ' 3;

A Zeppelin is too hard to replace. com- pared to an aeroplane, to risk it in an air battle as long as it can influence the issue fer more by silent. unsus- pected scouting at long rs/nge. The chances for attack by‘Zepplins will be much improved after the mass of French aeroplaues is established in the field with the army. French dirig- ibles hardly count, as .they are quite as vulnerable. cannot mount real can- non on top of the gas bag, and are hopelessly outclassed in speed.

France haslrecently completed a

squadron of armored aeroplanes,car- rying great weight, but they are, comparatively slow, and their ar- mor offers no protection against the Zepplins' shell fire. No doubt they will be needed for risky scouting at the front. It does not look as though this war, except_for the Zeppelins would be very different from the con- flicts in Tripoli, the Balkans,and Mexi- co, except for its vastly larger scale. The many French and Russian dirig- ibles would not seem to count for much,because they tre too slow, in- sufficiently armed, ond, therefore, far less prepared to iight aeropianes than the German diriglbles, while inferior radius of action and speed makes secret scouting also more difilcult. They have not been claimed, so far, to have made good their former threat of destroying the 'Rhine bridges dur- ing mobilization. The most formidable dlriglble so far constructed in France, a medium-sized Astra Torres, is in English hands, and the English pos-- sess in. their Parseval also the second fastest airship of the Trlble Entente. The readiness of he Gorman Govern- men in allowing the sale of that Par- seval speaks volumes for the superi-

‘ority of the larger type.

Russia’s Aeronautic inefficiency

- There is one inorcnnknown factor- the Russian mammoth aeroplane. its speed is littlo more than that of a Zop- pelin; its radius of action with allu- quatc load very much less, and its use over liostlle country beset with the gravest risk, duo to its dependence on good ground for starting and landing its ponderous bulk. It is also equipped with German motors, and new motors would seem hard to procure even from France under present conditions. The whole Russian aeroplane fleet was incomplete when the war broke out, arrangements having been made just previously to add more than two hun~ fired. lf Russia should be left for some time to its own mechanical resources, it would bc worth while to know that. as a well informed Finlander told the writer ii year ago, she boasted then of one automobile factory inthe whole empire, whose sole customers were grand dukes and high officials.

The ordinary type of military aero-

plane following tlio troops and oper- ating right on the battle ground may be expected to be much in the fore- ground ln it war that started at the present development of military aero- nautics. its role will not appear so spectacular since \ve had become so used to it in previous wars. But. Llue to the immense number of such machines, we may not only expect ‘frequent ilistanees of inconclusive bomb dropping, but irregular, unsys~ tematized fighting in the air with ma- chine guns or rifles. All indications point to the fact that hostile aero- planes can avoid clashing in the air

being set upon by flocks of aeroplanes.

at least as easily as cruisers at sea. Aerial tactics have hardly been per- fected. Only if French or English aer- oplane went after Zeppeline, which received them with machine gun and artillery fire, and German or Austrian aeroplane came to the rescue. would we be likely to see some lively fight- ing in the upper regions. The regulon. army machine gun weighing some titty pounds, -has been known as a regular installation only on specially heavy French fighting aeroplanes, ow- ing, no doubt, to the weight of am- munition required for sustained fire. But there aro lighter types, and we may expect at least a rifle or automat- io istol on an air machine The

large aeroplane mounting a light can non. But it is a foregone conclusion that the ammunition supply of sucha gun must be very limited if compared to tlist of a 30-ton Zeppelin, and close proximity of gun and motor with re- sulting vibration will make aeroplane ilre much less certain than Zeppelin fire.

Theoreticaliy Zeppelins by the

efficiency and range of their fire, could be employed to keep away aeroplanes from positions which it would be lm- perative to conceal, better than other aeroplanes compared to the number of Zeppelins, this use could be resorted to only on very special occasions. It will hardly be expected as long as long-range scouting remains, a much more important task for Zeppellns. ,

As long as the new aerial equipment

is still so very small compared to the old-fashioned fighting apparatus, scouting in the air will take preced- ence over fighting.

DECISIVE BATTLES IMPENDING.

PARIS, Sept. 16.-The Matin dlsf

cussion of the withdrawal of the Ger- mans points out that in order to cover its retreat und avoid blocking of roads open to it, the German army will have to mark time and flglit a second and perhaps a third battle. These bat- tles will he fought under conditions according to the Matin, certainly most favorable for French troops which, thanks to their reinforcements and rapidity of movements assured them by the railway, will be able to face all cvcntualities without anxiety.

SAVED SOISSONS.

PARIS, Sept. 16.-A story has reach-

ed here of the courageous action of Mme. Macherez, of Soissons. When the Germans arrived there, they de- manded to sec the Mayor. who was nhscnt. None of the ofiicials respond- ed to the call, whereupon Mme. Mach- erez went to the Germans and said:

“There is no Mayor here, but 1 am

here and I answer for everyone and everything as you will have to do, if depredations are committed.”

After disputing the requisitions and

the conditions of the Germans the courageous woman saved Solssons on easy terms.
