GERMAN AIRMEN Will
TRY U. S. FLIGHT AGAIN
JUNKERs LAUD
SAFE RETURN

DEssAU Germany, Aug. 1s.-
The German aviators. Johann Ris-
ticz. Cornelius Edzard, Friedrich
Loose and Herman Koehl, who,
were forced to turn back after
starting on q nonstop flight to
New York. were assured today by
officials OF the Junkers Works
that they would receive another OPP
portunity to attemp a Transatlantic
flight.
Disappointment over the failure
Of the planes, Europa and Bremen,
is giving way to q determination
that the next effort must be a
success.
The Bremen, which landed yester-
day afternoon at 400 o'clock, after
spending p hours in the air hat
Ting headwindg, rain and fog, was
Dverhauled today and found to be
in good condition.
Prof. Junkers, head of the Junk
efs Works, who arrived at the Des-
sau Flying field soon after the Bre-
men landed. congratulated the filters
upon their courage in turning back.
Game for New Try
You did the proper thing" said
Professor Junkers. FOR it would
have been useless TO attempt to go
on under the circumstances"
Loose and Koehl were asked IL
they would make another attempt
al transatlantic flight. Both re-
piled in unison:

countered bad weather during the
whole twenty-five hours 1t was
aloft. There were alternate bursts
of rain and wind while the thun.
der shook the plane from pro-
pellers to tail. lie atmosphere
was thick, the murk varying from
rainy mist to heavy. yellow fog.
After crossing the North Sea and
the British Isles, the Bremen ran
into q fog bank so thick that they
decided it would be useless to at
tempt to 20 further.
All the time they had been bat
Ting against powerful headwinas
which held the p!ape down to SO
miles an hour despite the fact it
was kept at full speed. BY dawn
Monday morning the Bremen had
made only so miles, although the
motor had been roaring at full
power ever since the plane rose
over Desau Sunday evening.
Brought Motor
When Edzard and Risticz flew
from Bremen they brought with
them the motor of the Europa,
the body. of the machine being
left behind.
Another Junkers all-metal plane is
in readiness here when the next
flight is attempted. although Ris.
ticz and Edzard may request that
the motor be removed and the
motor of the Europa substituted.
1t Is believed that the Bremen
will he ready for another hop off
for New York by the time the
weather is pronounced favorable
for ocean flying.
