GERMANY'S VAST AIR FLEET.

1,300 Aeroplanes of Modern Type.

.

WY ZEPPELINS RAVE NOT INVADED FRANCE,

The story of the ramming of a Zeppelin sihip by the famous French ariator Roland Garre story which still tacka ene irmation and is disbelieved by those who know Marrow best-probably arose from the is that a Zeppelin aast be attacked in any other way owing to its being defandel amint assault from above by quick-fing granted on top of the rigid immework of the gas inodder.

In order to make certain of his aim, bomb-dropper in an aeroplane would have to get within 100 feet or so of the airship's roof, and so would be well within nye of the gun mounted there.

Only three or four of the very latent Zeppelins, however, are equipped with these gun platforms, and, fisthermore, 1, learn in good suthority that none of them is mounted with guns, for it is now known that if there was lank any of the ga

gs near the mid-ship portion of the frame, the escaping hydrogen would finst its way out or the gun platform, and` would be almost certain to catch trea poon as the gun was discharged.

PAKILDES GUNS

It is believed that the explosion of the Appelin which caught fire, and i llall

it crew at Johan sihat near Burlin, unly

a few months ago was cutaw) by the gam

on top dring blank cartridge as an experi

ment, though at the time it was at steal that the cause was a petrol fire in one of the ezrína zou $ 1.

It in, therefore, a comparatively simple matter, in the absence of a gun, to appri ach quite close to a Zeppelin from abure, for the crew in the cars below cannot hit the seroplane su kong as the pilot of the seroplane keps the envelope of the airabi batwora himself and the cis. The kack- ledge of this fact on the part of the German probably acounts for out not having hosed any thing of Zeppelins dying over Finace. but only over Belgium, whose flying curse is so amal? that it hardly counts.

Since I wrote accently of the number of seroplanes which the German army har available for active service, I have been tak, os quite reliable evidence, that the German, numbers have been enormously increased during the past few months.

The pamber mentio ol to me by, one.. who has just returned from Germany is 1,300 aroplauna of modern type, exclusivo of school machines, and the lower military: maschines of a yo y ago. In support of this

It is known that for some time the Marcodes' mutor firm has been turning our 130 to 110 ser engines a month, these all. being of the 100 hp, cyclinder type, which bas, during the past six weeks, "broken all the world's records for height and duration.

MACHINES AND PILOTA

In addition, the Banz Company haz`hoen producing about half as mary, and the minot firms, such as the "Azgun and N. A. G have alaa bean contributing large number. One can safaly put the German iero-engine output down at something liko 250 a month, and an each engine mesos an seroplane in which to ât it, the estimate of 1,3.0 may not be far from the truth.

The number of pilote to By these machines may not be as great, bat is la larger than that of any other country, thanks to the German system of encourag- ing civilian flying schools.

Under this system each aeroplase krm

well, allotted to its school, to be trained

by the firm's own pilota. This training of theas aviators was paid for at a Price which

permitted the firm to use "first class machines and to pay reasonable wages to the pilots. The Bens could afford to pro ide confortable quarters for the pupils, "and could lo avery way do things on a scale which dose not exist in any other country. In order to stimulate progress in 19lation, inilitary ariators were souraged to enter for the big ring competitions, And various Government departments gave handsome prizes. For this reason one w thirty startar in the Pruce Henry Competition this year, whereas our London. Manchester-and-back race only brought ost six staters.

It is now practically certain that the German and Anatian air scouts together bataamber all the French, Ruslan British, Belgian, Berrian, Swa, and Dutch plots so that Germany will bars a
