AMERICA HOLDS FUTURE

route that planes will be most useful
for will be from Berlin to Paris OF
London, Rome or Constahtinopl
That is where the great savings In
time will count.
"Going from one city to another in
Germany, for example, will be all
right for small planes, but it, will not

overland routes from country ito

air must be internationalized, for the

most remarkable development in An,
erica, where there are vast areas un-
covered by railroads, or where rail
roads have to go around mountains.
"Planes can follow routes ,that will
save hundreds Of miles and Hundreds
of hours, both of which will appeal to
Americans. In addition, Americans
have the energy and capital TO de-
velop the air route possibilities, while
European concerns are depleted in f.

Rasch says the Zeppelin people, are
expecting Americans to take up the
Zeppelin engine. and build factories
to produce it in America. Dirigibles
require house big enough to enclose

wind changes. These factors make
the plane the cheapest and most use

Berlin, March 81. (By Mail. y
Flying to America can be done, but
lit will never be practical means of
navigating the oceans, either the At
lantic or the Pacific, according to
Ferdinand Rashc, director of the Yep
pelin works at Staaken. Rasch devel-
oped the giant German planes for use
in bombing London, planes which
would carry several hundred bombs
and were three times as large as a
"gotha."
Rasch said the Zeppelin people
have decided it is not worth while
trying to develop air navigation to
America. Planes would have to
carry so much fuel that there would
be little room for either passengers
or baggage AS mail service, the
planes would be useful, but they
would not be as fast as the cable,
and using them for post would be an
ments did it.
For shorter distances, ,Rasch sees
no end Of possibilities and the Yep
pelin people are preparing to use
their works producing a new peace
machine. For cross country work
there is nothing to compare to aero
planes, according to Rasch, but the
air must be internationalized, every
where, except possibly in America, il
air navigation is to be made the most
of.
European countries are too small
to make air service worth while

over, mining on the range this year
promises to keep up with war rec

which with a long shipping season
may outdo the war-year records
Shipping is opening up earlier this
spring than in previous years and
hundreds of cars of ore will be NOV
ing to the shipping docks. shortly
The first trainload Of ore went to the
