The Supply of «« FLIGHT." Important Notice. Order " FLIGHT " to be either delivered or reserved for you regularly. , As the demand for " FLIGHT " is so great each week, it is of the utmost importance that readers should place their orders firmly for copies of " FLIGHT " at the bookstalls, their newsagents, or direct from the publishers, at 44, St. Martin's Lane, W.C., if they wish to secure a copy every week and avoid disappointment. The stringent Government restrictions in regard to the supply of printing paper necessitates this precaution in order that only actual numbers required are printed, and all wastage by unsold copies may thereby be reduced to a minimum, if not eliminated. THE PUBLISHERS. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Y the courtesy of the Naval and Military authorities we are enabled this week to publish a very complete series of photographs and descriptive articles dealing with the Zeppelin airship " L. 33," which was brought down somewhere in Essex on the night of 24th September. The photo graphs—which were taken by our own photographic staff—form a complete record of the essential parts of the wrecked airship, and are of surpassing interest in view of the halo of mystery which has hitherto surrounded the construction of the ««L. 33." latest of the "super-Zeppelins," and we may thus with some amount of justice claim for the present issue of FLIGHT a more than ordinarily historical interest. In no case of the destruction of one of these craft during the present war has the wreckage retained so well the original lines of the structure as in the case of the " L. 33," nor has one been brought down in so favourable a situation for the eye to take fh the immensity of these air-strafers. And, we think, our pictures, supplemented by the letterpress, make the most of the circumstances. That, however, is for our readers to judge. • • <•> The President of the Board of Trade ^X*de has appointed a committee to consider the War. the position after the war, especially in relation to international competition, of the lead, copper, tin and such other of the non- ferrous metal trades as may be referred to the com mittee, and to report what measures, if any, are necessary or desirable in order to safeguard that position. The composition of the committee is one that must meet with thorough approval, since it is lacking altogether in the official element, every single one of its members being closely identified with one or other of the trades concerned. Initially, this is just as it should be, inasmuch as such a committee should be able to carry on its investigations and discussions, and to make its report, free from the deterrent influence of officialism and politics. So far, so good, but we always have to keep in mind the fact that no matter how carefully a committee may investigate and report, the last word lies with the official departments.
