Here the new airship R-100, and nearby the R-101, are being rush- «d to completion. These aerial liners will bring India, Australia South Africa and eventually Can- ada within two and three days distance of London. The specifications 'of" the dirigic bles are filled with astounding figures. The airships will be 730 feet loug, capable of carrying 100 passengers in the utmost comfort and 150 tons freight. Even ¢ dance floor of unsurpassed quali ty will be contained within the lners. There will be a dining room for 50 covers and sufficien! sleeping accommodations for al on board. Accommodations on the wholc will equal those of a steamship but the government air engineers point ‘out that a large airship hus two advantages over an ocean going vessel: The airship fliec “with considerable less rolling and pitching, and there is no vibra tion, since the engines are car ried in cars slung away from tho main structure, The airships will have a speed of 70 miles an hour at 5,000 feet, with a cruising speed of 63 miles in hour.

The Cardington and Ismaiia are rea for the India service, and a shed is_mearing completion at Karachi The masts are of a new and improved design, nearly twice high as the mast at from which the R-33, famous forerunner of the R-100 and R-101, operated. They are designed to resist a2 pull at the mast head six | times greater than that which the Pulham mast can resist. Powerful and sensitive winches to draw the airships to the mast- heads are operated by oil-fired bailers -and. controlled electrically from the top of the mast. Pumps can deliver fuel at the rate of 2,000 gallons an hour to the moored airship. A fast elevator is located in the center of the mast structure. Similar masts are being constructed near Durban, South Africa, and in Australia. The return to airships opens up the old conflict between propon- ents of heavier-than-air craft and advocates of lighter-than-air ves sels. The advocates of the air- ship say that the cost per ton per mile by airship is 12 cents and by airplane 60 cents. They point to The fact that in the early days ot flying, between 1910 and 1914, five German airships, constructed for passenger traffic, carried 42,000 passengers in 2,000 flights without mishap to a single pas- senger. “Another Hopeful Willie Smith, bantamwelght cham plon of Europe, arrives in Ney Pulham, | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, DEC OUR BELOVED ANGORA ,BRETMER GOOGLE. .

LONG REST FOR PLAY IMPROVES POPULARITY BERLIN, Dec. 29.—<For the first time in 28 years, “Troilus and Cressida,” known as the step- child among Shakespeare’s dram- as, has been revived this fall in Berlin. It is proving So great a success that it will probably run at Max Reinhardt’s “Deutsches Theater™ for months. When last given 28 years “Troilus and Cressida” did not appeal to the Berlin theater Roing public. It was taken off the rep: ertoire after a few matinee per formances, Since then, there has been al- most annual talk of reviving i Reinhardt planned to direct it per- sonally. Leopold Jessner, dires- tor general of the Prussian state theaters, also was slated to bring it out. The “Volksbughne” had even begun rehearsals on it last year, then dropped it again. When Erwin Piscator organized his com- munist theater a few months ago, it was generally rumored he would bring it out.
