REPORTED AS HALF WAY COMPLETED WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30— As the world's largest dirigible, ths British R-100, forces its way acros: the Atlantic, workmen passed the half-way mark in construction of the United States airship, larger |than the R-100. Besides being nearly one-third larger than the British ship, the American aircraft named Akron, Incorporated, has half a dozen revo- lutionary features designed to in- crease effectiveness. The American ship will be 785 feet long and have a cruising rad- ius of 10,580 miles, without re- fueling. It will have an airplane hangar housing five fast planes, There will be eight motors and will carry machine guns. The airship constructors expect to complete construction by next June, MUSK OXEN FOR ALASKA 1S PLANNED y to Be Ob- tained from Greenland— $40,000 Appropriated WASHINGTON, D.
