A FACTOR IN NAVAL WARFARE, One factor which no doubt has checked soro nautical development with ae, apart from the apathy of our amateur astonsuts, is the fixed
military idea that airships are caly of utility in operations. Accordingly the work has been entrustel to the Balloon Corps, in addition to their ordinary tasks; or rather the enterprising. head of that department, by dint of mnoh labour, obtained permission to spend a few thousands on the work. But for Colonel Capper tid his assistants nothing at all might have been done, and to praise can be too grest for the upbill Bght they have had to make in getting the inadequate funds and facilities at their disposal.
to
One of these days it may be brought home to as in apple saut fashion that the airship matt ze from be considered from the naval as well the military standpoint, and then, perhaps, the authorifice may come to see the necessity of attaching an aeronautical section to the naval sa well as to the military forces In effect, we ought to have one great arostatical department which would specialise in both branones of the work, one section being devoted to military ro nautics, the other to the creation and training of over-es work. Few people realise how close const defence, raid repelling, and airships for Germany is to us as the crow flies-that is
say, by serial routes-nor have they calou lated that the distance is now well within the range of the Zeppelin airships. A direct run of 230 miles would bring a Gorman airship from. such a point as Air-la-Chapelle to Buserness, and 80 miles way by taken as fair average distance for a Gorau airship to travel in order to reach any important strategic poiats ja this country, where at the present moment we have neither special guns nor airships to mest them;
The Zeppelin ould make thirty miles au hour OD a calar day, or forty with an assisting wind. Even with a ten-mile-sn-bour off-shore wind sbe could average twenty miles an hour. Let na for purposes of argument assume her mest speed to be only fifteen miles an hour, and we find that she could reach London or Sheerness or Dover within twenty boxca. At a thirty-mile-au hour speed her time would be but ten hours; at twenty miles an hour she would take iftion hours,
The shortest was route for a naval raid on similar points would be over 450 miles, and allowing a mean speed of twenty miles an hour the time to reach our abores would be over twenty-two hours; and twenty-four hours wight be taken as a very fair average..

A naval raid could thus hardly be accom plished under twenty-four hours, and would be THE GERMAN HIGH SEAS FLEET, detectable for at least half of that time. An
PROJECTED' LONG CRUINS.
A Berlin telegram to the Times dated the 18th ult says:-
aerial raid could be made in ten hours, at thirty miles an hour, and in twenty hours at a speed of filtean miles an hour. The airship could leave its barbour with absoluta soracy, could orom the intervening spada at a height which would practically prevent its being observed, and quite conceivably might
