said these had been contracted
for by Great Britain before the
outbreak of hostilities and could
not be delivered until the war was
over.

The inspectors reported that
none of these boats could be com-
pleted for several months, and
that none of their
parts have been shipped by the
builders.

So far as the officials here
know, no breach of the agree-
ment between Mr, Schwab and

the government is contemplated
but it was-evident that, notwith-
standing the legal opinion secur-
ed by the steel company affirming
its right to ship parts of war ves-
sels to belligerents, the govern-
ment will not permit this to be
done without appealing to the Su-
preme Court if the courts are*in-
voked by the shipbuilders.

NO CHANCE OF AX
AEROPLANE RAID

Aeroplanes Don’t Fly by Night—
Mr. J. A. D. McCurdy
Explains Why.

 

Toronto, Feb. 25.—Disecussing
the possibility of an airship raid
from the United States, Mr. J. A.
D. MeGurdy, the Canadian avia-
tor, said te The News correspon-
dent:

“It is possible, but it is not at
for unless the ma-
chines were built for a
raid, it would not be possible to
get four high-powered machines
in any town in the United States.
Apart from machines at the fac-
tories, and those held by the mili-
tary authorities, there are only
about twelve machines in the
States which could make such a
flight, and these are flying boats.

“It is a comparatively easy
matter for a person to be deceiv-
ed as to the sound of the en-
gines,” added Mr. McCurdy. “Rail-
way engines in blowing off steam
often make a purring ‘Sound
which is almost identical with the
noise made by the aeroplane.”

Mr. MeCurdy further explained
that nearly all the aeroplanes in
the States weressmall ones, used
solely for exhibition purposes,
and these had only a short radius
and could only fly about 200 feet
high. For a long flight it needed
much larger ‘engines, and the
ability to carry a large supply of
gasoline.

Another and an important rea-
the story looked wrong

all probable,
secretly

son why
was that aeroplanes are practi-
cally never used at night. This is
because of the great difficulty in
landing after a flight.
