The new craft has been offered by a Middle West corporation, which, agrees to furnish what they call a semi-dirigible that wil 1 surpass the Zeppelin in size, speed, carrying capacity and general serviceability. All details of the super-airship are guarded, because if it does anything like what its inventors claim it will be a tremendous war machine. They promise a speed of 70 to 100 miles an hour and a carrying capacity of six men and thirty tons of cargo, and say they are able to exceed these specifications. They say they will use the Newfoundland Toute, not caring as much about the uncertainty of weather conditions as the airship folks Gen Brancker in his suggestion of an over-ocean airship flight adopted the route via the Azores and Portugal. These people say they will make London by direct flight and that the> will deliver letters in the English capital in fourteen hours and have them in the hands of the men in the trenches thirty hours after they arc mailed in New York.
