With But One Fatality--Military
Branches Pay Heaviest Price
For Progress In Air

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Sixty-
three lives have been lost in the de-
velopment of Americas military and
commercial aviation during the year
1925.
A check-up of all accidents since
the first day Of January reveals this
as the price the nation has been
paying for its ventures in the clouds.
Fourteen of the 63 lost their lives
in the crash of the navy airship Shen-
! andoah The other 40 were killed
in airplane disasters.
Of these 40, 25 were army or
navy men, Supporters of Colonel
William Mitchell point to this heavy
toll as evidence of the truth of Mitch
els argument that our military avia-
tors are forced to risk their lives in
dangerous equipment.
The airmail, with thousands of
miles of daily flight to its credit, in
1925 has lost but one man-Pilot
Charles Ames, who died in a crash
Oct. 2, near Bellefonte, Pa.
Twenty-three of the years avia-
ton victims to date were civilians.
Stunt flying cost many of these
lives, with other fatalities laid to
flights by men who had not suffi-
GENTLY mastered the science of avia-
ton, or who set out in faulty planes.
| One of the latest civilian victims
was an air performer at county fairs.
His parachute failed to open.
Among the military fatalities, all
sorts of causes are listed. Some
seem undoubtedly due to structural
defects in planes, as in the case of
the three men who lost their lives
