EUROPEAN WAR TO SETTLE METHODS OF AIR FIGHTING

The great conflict ' now raging among the powers of Europe, promises not only to be a struggle for supremacy on land and sea but for supremacy in the air as well. France, Russia and England will send their vast air fleets against the giant Zeppelins of the Germans. In a measure, the present European war will settle for all time the relatives merits of tne. aeroplane and the dirigible balloon as engines of destruction. In the development of the latter type of aircraft Germany stands supreme. She has nine of the giant Zeppelins fully equipped, and five more nearing completion. Work on these is being rushed with all possible speed. They range from 450 to 525 feet in length, are equipped with motors giving from 350 to 420 horse power, and carry light three-inch guns which have been successfully fired in manoeuvers, They speed through the air at the rate of forty or fifty miles an hour. Zeppelins of Rigid Type. All the Zeppelins are of the rigid type, the outer shell and framework being of aluminum construction. Inside the framework are the silk bags, as many as seventeen in some of the largest types, filled with hydrogen gas. The advantage of a number of small bags, lies in the ability of the airship to keep afloat even with one or more of the. bags punctured or otherwise out of commission. Austria also has several rigid dirigibles and Italy has three or four. If Italy Joins in with Germany and Austria, the Triple Alliance will have at its disposal 31 of this type of aircraft. On the other hand England, Prance and Russia can muster 34 gas bag air

ships, but they are all much smaller than the Zeppelins and are of the nonrigid, or semi-rigid type. The Triple Entente, formed by these three countries will pin their faith to their aeroplanes rather , than to the balloons. It is estimated that the Entente has 1,260 aeroplanes against the 700 of the Alliance. France, especially, has developed the. army aeroplane to a high state of efficiency and

uses both the monoplane and the biplane, although the former predominates. For scouting work the monoplane has proved to be more successful because of the greater speed it

can attain and the few chances of dis covery by the, enemy. Italians Have Training.

The Italian aviators are the only

airmen who have received actual training in aerial warfare. The Italians successfully used aeroplanes in their campaign in Tripoli and also attained a certain measure of success with semi-rigid dirigibles. England has one fast, though small dirigible attached to her navy. This is the Astra Torres IV, which recently made fifty-one miles an hour against a twelve mile wind. It is of the nonrigid type and can be deflated and packed aboard a warship. The Vickers and Armstrong firms are now constructing two rigid airships for the British admiralty. These, when completed, will resemble the Zeppelins. England also has one naval parseval, 270 feet long. There are also four other airships. France has 13 dirigibles attached to her army. These range from 275 to 325 feet In length. The Spiess the largest of the French fleet is rigid. There is also under

I construction another Spiess which will be 450 feet long.

County History While It's Fresh "4 rW r i W i TTT Compiled in Interesting Chapters for Busy Readers.

In the Richmond churches tomorrow, the European war will take a prominent place. Several pastors have announced subjects bearing on the signicance of the foreign conflict and it is expected that practically every pastor in the city will make some reference to the war. Last Sunday, prayers were offered In behalf of the sufferers who are bound to feel the affects of the awful conflict, but tomorrow a number of the pastors are planning to base their sermons on the war situation. An appeal has been sent out by the national headquarters of the Christian Endeavor societies asking for prayers to be offered for peace and for widowB and orphans. "Why War?" is the subject of the sermon to be delivered by the Rev. R. C. Leonard, pastor of the Central Christian church, Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. In his sermon he will deal with the causes underlying the war, which has shaken all Europe, and will show the fallacy of such a policy. Rev. A. S. Bridge, pastor of the Grace M. E. church, will speak on "The Reign of the Prince of Peace." At the evening services In his church. He will also touch upon the war situation and compare It with the conditions in the time of Christ, who preached a different gospel than that underlying the motive of war. The war situation will also be touched upon by the Rev. Aldison Parker, who will deliver the sermon at the First Baptist church Sunday morning.
