 The airplane turned turtle, crashing to earth in a field not far from the imposina Reuss Castle. Of the four occupants, two miraculously escaped injury, but two others were hurt. All were taken into the Castle.
 In the arplane were Ludwig Has, senpfiug, former captain in the Ger man army; William Strltnk, famous Austrian aviator who piloted Enver Pasha from Kovno to Moscow on the famous flight when Enver was cap- tured; Toni Raab, famous German war lace" who was piloting the ma chine, and the writer.
 Captain Hassenpf1ug and Captain Strunk were caught under the falling plane and hurt. Raab and the writer escaped with only a severe shaking up.

ENGLAND LIKES
 WAY TRAFFIC IS
 HANDLED IN U. 5.

London, Sept. 26-American visit ors to London, especially prominent ones, are inclined to say pleasant things to their hosts, and Englishmen are not disincnned to listen. The lat est example of this was given by Gov the Daily Mail as saying some very pleasing things about London as a city, But would it not be better all around, asks the Daily Chronicle, if they would give us some constructive criticism? LameInting the frequency paper says: Why doesn't London initiate New York, which now leads the world in traffic regulations? It is perhaps too much to hope for the sys- tenn of signal boxes, semaphores and co1ored lights that make Fifth Avenue a model of safety and efficient traffic regulation. But at least we could follow New York's examples in for bidding pedestrians to cross the road way at dangerous crossings until the point policeman has arranged a fair way and given permission to cross This rule is so strictly carried out boy does not infringe it.
 Another rule that is universal in America and Canada compels all mo- tor traffic to stop dead until a tram car has discharged and taken up it's passengers and started off again. Why this rule is not adopted in England it is impossible to imagne."
 3'It is nice to have Americans come here and throw lovely bouquets at us," said an English writer, ssbut [ think they would do us more good if they occasionally told us point blank of some of the things they find wrong with us. This mutual admiration busi- ness that goes no now is not good for either of uS.''

the crash aroused the occupants and servants came running out to see what had happened.
 An invitation to the occupants of the smashed machine to enter the Castle and partake of it's hospitality and care was conveyed from the Prin- cess. Servants assisted the two in jured men into the imposing old man sion where all were cordially received.
 The Princess appearing and after asking a few questions took charge of the work of caring for the injured. She proved a veritable sister of Mercy.
 A wing of the Castle was hastily fixed up as a hospital for the two wounded flyers, and arrangements were made for them to remain over night, or until they were able to travel.
 The accident happened early in the morning and all four occupants of the machine spent the entire day in the Castle.
 In the evening, a motor car was placed at the disposal of the pilot and the writer if they wished to go to the nearest railway station to take a train back to Berlin.
