Tha ships that stand these tests will have, broken down world-old barriers. The new warfare will be terrible and wonderful. Coast defenses that have cost billions of dollar will be set at naught; fort and castle will be as so much picturesque pasteboard scenery on a playhouse stage; the armies of the world will be useless; the Ironclads will lie powerless at anchor In easy, range of pitiless aerial Dreadnaughts. On completely equipped aerial battle.in.lp could wipe, out the several thousand Vessels that constitute the navies tt the world powers, ana destroy ineir r-- mies by poweriui expiwvj uiuiv from above. Were such a destroyer to attack Great Britain, for example, the protection of insularity which : that country has so long enjoyed would be of no avail, and ths annual army budget of $138,000,000 and navy budget of $160,- 000,000 would have been as utterly wasted as so many cups of water. in the new warfare aeroplanes as swift as swallows act as scouts in the skins, sailing at rrom o to eu nines an hour, and mapping the country at -will from a height of 2,000 or perhaps 4,000 feet. Sharpshooters on looitout towers on tha land, armed with guns especially made for sighting ana nnng sKywara, will have some difficulty winging such strange birds. On sea tha object to be hit moves at about 15 miles an nour, on land it goes slower, in the air it would be going four or five times as fast On land or sea tne oDjeei wouia be following the same plane. The skip Der of the skies may change at will the plana on which ha moves, and the sharpshooter would find his rangefever changing, his shots going wide of their mark. A war Danoon oi ordinary ai inenslons would present to the land bat' teries about the same surface as that offered by a platoon of cavalry, while an airship would be very difficult to hit because the planes would be tangential to the curve or tne mgni oi tne projec tile. When actual military operations have been begun, with tne maps as guiaes, armed cruisers will invade the skies of their enemy's country. New Instru ments, which must be a combination of plumb line, range finder, and telescope, will be used to get the range f city or fortress, una tnen on mesa aeiense less places the ship will drop high ex- closlves with terrific effect.

Secrecy, the one great need for armies in war time, will no longer be possible with an aerial navy. Every movement will be known to the keen eyed watchers above, and every move circumvented. In land fighting there has been little change for centuries. It is even said that Caesar might return and maneuver an army of today, and that he would And the physical endu nnr an A the flrhtlne: strength of man no greater than when he crossed the Rubicon and went out to conquer the known world. What civilisation and art have done is to lnvi-nt machinery that will increase man's flghting efficiency. The greatest chanires have been in ses flghting, a wonderful evolution from the days of Roman trireme to those of the Dreadnaught. To perfect the airship would be to transfer the nsvy to the skies and so leave the land at Is mercy. From a point S,000-feet high missiles csn be discharged and from this height not only can the sea fighting craft be seen, but, because of their altitude, the men on the airships will be able to dis cover the submarines the mines snd the harbor obstructions laid deep In the water. The Possibilities of Attack There will be a gallant attempt to make defense keep the balance with at tack. The principle that makes wireless j telerraphv possible may be utilised to! act the air with dangerous currents that will shock the attacking patty's ahlp and explode tha ammunition as It goes I bv. or in old sun gisss will tm brought Into plsy. and. focusvd on the trailer of explosive, cause an atmospheric con vulsion that would make a tornado seem m ' summer brcese.
