TREATIES KEEP GERMAN PLANES TO SMALL SIZE By Dr. Roswell T, Pettit (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) Frankfort, Germany. — The German commercial airplanes are not ai large as those of Belgium or England, probably because of treaty requirements in not permitting them to lie as large for military reasons, but the German machines are exceptionally trustworthy. The pilot who brought our plane from Brussels to Cologne explained that the British Imperial Airways line ended at Cologne and I would have to take a German plane to Frankfort. Airplane lines in Germany are operated by the Deutsche Lust Hansa. This company operates more air miles dally than perhaps any other European company. The planes are monoplanes with single engines. Less Passengers There were only two other passengers on the Frankfort run. myself and a priest. The plane carried two pilots. The cabin had seats for only six instead of twelve to eighteen passengers like the English lines. The roof has no “rip panel" above. These safety devices are provided only on the larger planes which cross large bodies of water. Two years ago in the only serious accident the Imperial Airways of England has had, the plane came down in the channel. Fortunately the fusilage was large enough to keep the plane afloat. The passengers rip-' ped out the panels in the roof, climbed on top. put on their life preservers and were soon picked up by passing fishermen. No one was seriously hurt. Among other things in the cabin of our monoplane was the ever-present "Ranchen Verboten” —"Smoking Prohibited." Under no conditions is anyone permitted to strike a match in an airship cabin. The gas tanks are directly overhead and the engines are too close. Other signs suggest that passengers stuff cotton in their ears to deaden the noise. The control tower “gave us the flag” and the plane taxied slow'# to face the wind. We zoomed into the air without apparent effort and soon the city of Cologne was far beneath us. We were furnished a magnificent view of the famous cathedral, the winding Rhine and the busy barges. Over The Rhine We headed east over a thicklypopulated plain that was soon replaced by vineyards. The grapes were planted in terraces. Off to the south
