GERMANY TAKES LEAD IN AIR AS • AMERICA LAGS Foreign Commercial Aviation Makes Unprecedented Progress. Uu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Forv< B Yi coinmercien aviation made uni precedented progress during 1925, I <hlle American commercial flying vntinued to lag, according to a survey of world air commerce made by the Department of Commerce. Aided by governmental support and by extraordinary pubVl interest foreign travel routes are rapidly being expanded and consolidated into continental systems. This expansion is continuing in the face of profitless operation, in some cases as government supported experiments and in others as a necessary outlet for manufactured stocks on hand in some of the larger European airplane companies. The most marked progress during 1925 was made in Germany, where the total airline distance of all routes it'gularly operated amounted to 11,067 miles, compared to approximately 4,000 miles at the end of 1924. Government Aids •The extraordinary growth of com rcial flying abroad is attributed here principally to cooperation given projected and established lines by the respective governments. ( Several European governments stimulate commercial aviation by direct cash subsidies or the equivalent in supplies. Others render support by furnishing landing fie:.ds, wireless service and weather reports. Asa result commercial air routes are offering keen competition not only to railroad and ship lines, but to other air lines. In an attempt to arrive upon a profitable basis most foreign air lines are increasing freight and passenger charges. It is expected that within a short time all commercial aviation routes will be operated without actual loss if not at a profit. According to the world wide reports gathered by the Department of Commerce here this general expansion in the commercial use of the air is now being directed more -along lines .of safety development and conservative extension of existing routes than in the evolution of radical changes ip existing ty. es of planes or methods. Most Efficient In spite of the serious limitations In power and design imposed by the Treaty of Versailles Germany leads in this development as well as in general growth of traffic. German routes are considered to be the safest and most efficient of any now Jn operation. The record of safety fl|d reliability established by the NMerman lines is regarded as one of the most important factors in securing notable increases in traffic. The United States is a conspicuous laggard in this respect. A survey of commercial flying in this country during 1924 shows a total of 89 accidents, with 75 killed and 91 injured, or a ratio of one death to

every 13,500 miles flown. In contract France, with a typical European commercial system, estab-' lished'a record of but 6 deaths with 2,266,649 miles flown. It should be noted, however, that the United States air mail made a creditable record in this respect, with but one death to 463,000 flying miles. Pressure is being brought to bear upon the present session of Congress to secure greater governmental support of commercial flying in this country and observers are confident that several,, at least, of the many j bills now before each branch of Congress will be adopted. SONG SENT TO SCHOOLS Hesser Gives Music of “Iloosier Capitol Song” to Students. Copies of the new Indianapolis song, "Indianapolis, We Love You,” have been sent to the seventh and eighth grades of the public schools ; by Ernest G. Hesser, director of music. The song was adopted recently by several local organizations as the "Hoosler Capitol Song." Hesser said the song typified the spirit of the city and will be "fine musical and civic training for the pupils." Allan?'
