BROCK STREET ~ THE BIG BUSY HARDWARE (| WINGS OF THE EMPIRE | Published by Special Aeroplane News Bureau. TH f | | | es Arrangement With the 'Commercial Airships. It would require more space than I am likely to be allotted to analyse {in full the very important lecture on ll "The Commercial Future of Air- | ships," delivered by Air Commodore ll E. M. Maitland before the Royal So- | | ciety of Arts on 21st April. Airships may be called the dark | | horse of commercial aeronautics. Ev- ery' authority says that in their pro- I | per sphere they have a great future, i | but outside Germany there is no ex- ll] perience to provide definite facts and i | figures. Very few people know much fj about them, and they are too expen- ll sive to erect and run for anyone to | | feel inclined to make experiments an- I | less there is a large amount of capi- il tal behind him. Many people can af- ll | ford to experiment with aeroplanes, Hl flying boats, etc., but an airship of i [two million cubic feet capacity is a fl different matter. I But if afiyone in the British Em- ll| pire can speak with authority abqut fii airships, it is Air Commodore Mait- l {land. In his lecture he admitted the j{| need of caution owing to the absence || of experience, though he was able to {| point to the financial success of the | German commercial airship '"Boden- see." In consequence the air commo- dore was very cautious in the esti- mates which he put forward, and on that account his words carry all the more conviction. Of course, he re- iterated the point that it is on the main sea routes that the airship will find {ts opportunity. With water down below, it offers the supreme at- traction of safety. Moreover, it com- petes not with speedy trains but with the far slower steamships; and, therefore, its own moderate speed (when compared with the aeroplane) is not'a damning disadvantage. Some aircraft propagandists say, or at least imply, that if. aircraft is to make good it must always provide the greatest attainable gpeed. This, of course, is a fallacy, except perhaps in the case of malls. To make air transport a; paying proposition its speed should be greater than that of competing means of transport--sub- stantially greater--but not - the greatest possible. The problem is to give sufficient speed to attract, with- out making charges which will repel. An important way in which the air- ship could gain time, said the lec- ={ turer, was by night flying. Aero- planes can do that also, but at in- creased risk. The air commodore said that airships could be flown more easily and more efficiently at night than by day. He also sald that fog does not constitute a real danger to them, though it may cause delay at landing grounds wo He proposed the following routes: Duration Present of Mail Flight. Transit. England to Egypt 2 days 4 to 6 days England to India (via Egypt).. 4% ,, 14 ,, England to South Africa .. .. 17t0 19 ,, "| England to Aus IA tralia (via South ' Africa) rive lO 25 .. As for cost, he worked out that pas- sengers could be carried on the R-38 class of ship (2,700,000 c.f.) for the | above journeys at the following | rates: 1st Class Steamer | ' Fare. £45 to £560 «+ £100 £65 to £70 South Africa, £120 £70 Australia £190 £115to £128 The extra oharges for such amazing reductions in speed certainly seem very moderate. The mail charges per ounce should™be 6d, 1s, 1s 3d and 2s respectively With .a load of 15 tons on all journeys be reckoned that an R-38 would pay 15 per cent. A ship of 10,000,000 c.b. would, of course, show. better results. Yorkshire to Holland. The journeys of the Blackburn Kangaroo from Brough to Amster- dam have shown a profit on the first month's working, and the Dutch and British post offices are considering the establishment of an aerial postal service between the two countries. This should probably be carried out by flying boats between the Humber and Dutch waters. The Hull Chamber of Commerce has also urged the P. M. G. to institute aerial mails with Scandinavia and the Baltic ports. By Airship. £50 To Egypt Indias ... ... International Considerations. It is stated that the Holland Gov- ernment has actually entered into contracts with a flying company te carry mails betwéen Amsterdam and London, but that British regulations forbid foreign pilots and machines to land with mails in England. Similar- ly, a French regulation is partially responsible for holding up the in- stitution of air mails between Eng- | land and Egypt. I take these state- ments from a daily paper, but must admit that I have not enquired as to their accuracy. I 1 Flying Club. It has been decided to form a Liverpoot Flying Club. + This is a movement which one would like to see spread. Unless flying clubs are formed throughout the country, we are not likely to have any civilian pil- ots practised in handling single-seat- er aeroplanes; and such pilots are needed as a reserve for the fighting squadrons in case of war. \ An Ambitious Owner. News comes from Bombay that an Indian noble known as the Thakur Sahib of Morvi has placed an order for a Handley Page for his personal use. Wealthy Indians are sometimes afflicted with magalomania, and will buy the largest thing they can get in- stead of the most suitable. One can | imagine a five-seater aeroplane be- ing of very great use to a rich Indian gentleman; but a Handley-Page--?? Surely a white elephant would have been a better investment. A Liver LETTFRS 10 [HE EDITOR A Farmer's Wife Writes. Verona, May 14. (To the Editor): It has amused me to read the differ- ent. pieces in your valuable paper concerning the high cost of living and the city people's idea of it. Now, Mr. Editor, would you allow me space to say a few words? I am a farmer's wife and know something about what it costs to produce pota- toes, butter, eggs, etc., to put on the market for the city friend and others to buy. In one place they say, what if they close the Kingston market place to farmers? Why, bless you, my dear city friend, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to the majority of farm- ers.

They have been going on strike and asking for such high wages. The farmer can't afford to take any less for his produce until wages come down--in fact at the present prices it doesn't pay when we consider the work as well as the expense. . It's all right for the working man, the railroad men, etc, to go on strike. But walt; did you city friends ever stop and think what you would do if the farmers'all went on strike, which they may do? The farmer can live without the city friends quite nicely, but can they live without the farmer? A great many of our city friends are talking about boycotting potatoes.

TRUST To BE OUTRIVALED Col. Grant Morden Has More to Say on His Pet ans ti Montreal, May 18--Prior to his de- parture for New York, Col. W. Grant Morden said that the preliminary British Empire Steel Corporation, which will shortly be available for analysis, exhibits an interesting con- trast with the balance sheet of the United States Steel Corporation, the only larger organization in the indus- try in the direction of comservation capitalization, as compared with ac- tual assets, of the limitation of bond- ed indebtedness, and of the provision of ample working capital. "No addition," he said, "is to be made by the consolidation to the funded debt of the various constitu- ent companies, which will thus re- main at slightly over $43,000,000. Of the total capitalization, therefore, less than 17% per cent. is in the form of bonds. The appraised valua- tion of the fixed properties of the British Empire Corporation is no less than $403,000,000, of which near; $200,000,000 is not offset by any capital charge whatever, and the ra- tio of mortgage debt to mortgage- able properities is less than 11 per cent. Current assets total about $75,- 000,000, against current liabilities of $31,000,000, leaving a working capi tal of $44,000,000, which actually exceeds the total bonded indebted- ness.
