The action of the Admiralty is bound to expedite matters so far as airship enterprise generally is concerned, and at the same time it is practically certain to settle once for all the vexed question of whether that Department or the yesterday afternoon | Air Ministry is to control our air- at about half past three, ships when we get them.

He went a long way up and got past the Happy Valley Race Course, when he says that the first warning be received of anything out of the ordinary was a stunning blow between the eyes, which knocked him to the ground. He got up and saw to coolies, who must have come up from bebiod. His Sealants set upon bim and knocked him down three times, after which he could not rise for some time, being nearly stunned. The robbers, for such they proved to be, snatched his watch and chain, value about $65, and bolted into the busbes. This was in the afternoon and Mr. Escom saya that he only met one policeman in his walk on the Bowen Road.

The range of operation from. its base of an airship, as he al- ready often been explained, is vastly greater than that of a cruiser, and the strategic value of the aircraft over the seacraft is superior in that proportion.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

and highly qualified engineers, and the development of new markets abroad. Following upon an exhaustive inquiry into the

possibilities of developing an air- ship service between Spain and South America, a report has been drawn up highly favourable, under certain conditions, to the project..

From this report it appears that there is a genuine desire on the part of the Spanish company con- cerned, and also of the Zeppelin Company, to have some of the airships built in Britain. It is realized by the firm that there is but a small possibility, however, of building in Germany, and ne- gotiations have been opened with Commander Bumey with a viSW to the construction of the dirigi- bles here. The value of securing such a contract as that here re pretented is considerable, for the ships would be built to Zeppelin design under Zeppelin and Spanish inspection, and a useful insight into German methods and design would be obtained.
