...While recognizing the propriety and necessity of the legally constituted authorities in the naval service being the sole judges of the sufficiency of the reasons actuating all orders to naval craft, and further recognizing that the practice of ordering movements of naval vessels for the purpose of complying with public requests is in accord with long-established custom, it is considered that such movements should be limited to essentially naval and military operations in so far as possible, especially in the case of new and experimental types...

...arrived at after full and careful consideration by the most expert officers of the Navy in the operation and design of rigid airships, and do not in any way involve negligence or culpability."

...died last week in Washington. Most of his paintings are unsalable because they are plastered to public buildings or warships, but even were they salable there would be no fluttering of art dealers excited by unspeakable profits.
