In response to the perceived military deficiency of the United Kingdom and Germany's successful test of a Zeppelin, "The Morning Post" announced the creation of a National Airship Fund on 21 June 1909. The aim of the fund was to raise £20,000 through public subscription to purchase the United Kingdom an airship. Lady Bathurst contributed an initial £2,000 to the fund. Ware travelled to Paris in July and signed a contract for Lebaudy Frères to build the Lebaudy Morning Post. In August, it was revealed that the "Daily Mail" had offered to pay for a hangar while an airship from Clément-Bayard was shipped to England. Ware rushed to ensure "The" "Morning Post"s airship arrived first, and by May 1910 he began helping plan the airship's route to England. However, the Clément-Bayard No.2, sponsored by "The" "Daily Mail", arrived in England on 16 October 1910. The War Office purchased the airship and the National Airship Fund was left out of negotiations. The Lebaudy Morning Post was damaged when it arrived in England ten days after the Clément-Bayard No.2 because its hangar was too small, and it crashed on its first test flight. Ware was accused of financial mismanagement and poorly managing the paper. After threatening to sue Lancelot Julian Bathurst, the paper's manager and Lady Bathurst's brother-in-law, over libel, Ware was given £3,000 and agreed to retire. His retirement was announced on 14 June 1911. After leaving "The Morning Post", Ware planned to create a weekly paper independent from political parties, with funding from various British Dominions. The project was unsuccessful. Ware became a special commissioner for Rio Tinto Limited, negotiating with the French government. In 1912 he published "The Worker and His Country", which historians John Lack and Bart Ziino describe as "an alarmist diagnosis of social unrest in France and Britain". In the book, Ware advocated for land redistribution to ease tensions between British social classes. With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the Royal Automobile Club began assisting the war effort with the creation of the Royal Automobile Club Volunteer Force. On 12 September 1914, several members of the club volunteered their services to the British Red Cross, which established the Motor Ambulance Department. Warewho was 45 years oldhad been rejected from serving in the British Army because he was too old, and obtained an appointment to command a mobile Red Cross ambulance unit with the assistance of Lord Milner.
