AIRSHIP MAIL.
A GERMAN PROPOSAL. AVliat may be intended as a strategic manoeuvre in connection with aerial warfare is the effort of the German post Office to establish an airship mail route between Germany atiu Denmark. It is announced that Germany has approached the Danish Govermnenv with the view of ascertaining whether or not it would be interested in employing German airships for the transport of the mail across the Baltic. Denmark, according to the German proposal, would contribute a small subsidy, which would bo devoted to the construction and maintenance of a large airship station on tho island of Amager, near Copenhagen. An airship postal seryice. it is pointed out, would be particularly advantageous in winter time, when the ice often causes serious delay in the transport of the post by train-ferry and steamship. Denmark is quoted as viewing the German project “with great interest.”
