Sept. 22. -No more depressing seen ? could have been selected to determine the fu ture of lighter' than air craft, at least so far as the I'nited State* Navy Is concerned, than tills, where a high court of imiulry Is delving Into the causes of the Sheuandoah tragedy. It is In the Shenandoah office*, high up ?? ?* mezzanine balcony of tlie maiti luoth hangar at the naval air sta tion. whence the "daughter of the stars" sailed forth to meet- her doom. I?ooklng down from their Krli perch, the court members could -tee ail of value that was left of the Shenandoah - llie trucks on which she was trundeled forth fur her last flight, a set of paint ed markings on the floor whete the hlg ship bad rested. And a mass of tangled wreckaK*' I netting their eyes stray on a little farther, the Investigating of ficers would see the great hulk of t lie Shenandoah's sister ship, the l?os Angeles, almost entirely dis mantled. Her gas baas have been taken out for patching. Her en gines have been removed and sent uway for overhauling. She will not be back In commission f-?r sev eral months. A couple of half Inflated blimps, which also have not flown for months, complete the picture save for a couple of bl^ black boards which still bear the Sh? n Hiidoah's last sailing orders- -on thein have since Ik- en pinned notes ex prensing the gratitude of a half doaen Shenandoah widows for ten dernesses shown them by the post. I.akehurst Is undeniably a dis aplrited air station. The fliers iiave lost none of their daring. They would sail today In the 111m alest aircraft imaginable. were they ordered to do so. llut the shock ??f losing 1 4 of their fellows, and with them the Shenandoah, has left the post a little apathetic; more than a little discouraged. If the Shenadoah. with Its val iant crow, could not BMt?r ih* elements, they wonder what air ship could. Moreover. sunn of lliein nre recalling the scant men nure of success as a military wea pon. which the dirigible was able to score In the World War. Tie dirigible, these critics say, cannot do anything In wnrfare that an air plane cannot do. They are no match for airplanes In combat, and they are far more costly and rnotu dangerous. Defenders of the diriicihle con cede that big airships have yet to prove themselves as effectual war weapons. The Hermans spr? ad a certain amount of terror with ? heir night raids over l/ondon and Paris, but the lirltlsh quickly d< veloped an airplane defence that put the Zeppelin fleet out of com mission. The dirigible advocates concede Alpo that |H?Bt-war experience with lighter than air ships, particular ly America's experience, has been most painful. Hot they contend, the airship Is yet in its Infancy. If It ran be rendered safe It prom ls?s to revolutionize long distance travel, and America cannot afford to fall any further behind in the , development of aeronautics. The court of inquiry will sit two wei'ks. maybe three or four. It will amass ream* and reams of tes timony. much of it technical.
