A note addressed to Parliament by the British War Office con tains a comparative statement of the sums expended in l'J08 by the governments of the principal na tions of Europe in the construc tion ot airships and the prosecu tion of experiments in aerial navi gation. The approximate amounts, m American money, are: Germany, $ 1,900,000; France 225,000; Austria-Hungary, $20, 000; Great Britain, $25.000., The German government con tributed $1,250,000 to the Zeppe lin fund, expended $510,000 in the purchase of Zeppelin airsips, and $125,000 for the pay and mnintenanceof the ballooon corps. .France spent $34,00Q on aeronaut leal schools, pay, and experi ments, $57,000 for material and construction, and $135,000 for the maintenance of existing airships. Austria-Hungary spent $14,000 for schools, pay, etc., and $12, 000 for airships. Great Britain spent $9,500 for dirigible balloons and $2,500 lor aeroplanes.
