20 "AST AERO COMBINE FORMED TO OPERATE LINES IN U. S. Extensive Launching a gigantic commercial enterprise in aerial transportation is virtually assured after conferences between Dr. Johann Schuette, pat- entee of many of the innovations used on German Zeppelins and president of the Schuette-Lanz Airship Com- pany of Germany, and representa- tives of the General Air Service Cor- poration in this city during the past week. The corporation founders include R. B. Mellon, president of the Mellon National Bank of Pittsburgh and brother of the present Secretary of the Treasury; E. W. Mudge, steel operator _of Pittsburgh; Benedict Crowell, Philip N. Wrigley of Chi- cago and a number of others. The plan is virtually a transfer of the aerial industry of the Schuette lines of Germany to this country, un- der American capital and American managerial authority, and the initial . step will be the inauguration of an air line between New York and Chi- cago. Eventually it is intended to extend the system, not only to South America, but also to the Pacific and Atlantio, furnishing transoceanio and transcontinental service for freight and passengers. Research of Two Years. The announcement was made after a research into methods of pro- cedure covering the greater part of two years. Clifford Albion Tinker, in a magazine article, eighteen months ago, first suggested the formation of such a corporation as the present one has turned out to be, and, although he had had no previous knowledge of it, within three weeks plans already were being considered for the founding of a huge aerial company operating freight and pas- senger carriers. Mr. Tinker was called in to confer with the original founders at that time, with the result that today he is interested in the new organization which grew up after his first fic- tional publication. In outlining the company’'s plans Benedict Crowell, formerly assistant secretary of War and head of the |} American aviation mission to Europe and president of the Aero Club of America, said: Ameriea; Service First. “Our aim is to provide rigid air- ship service to America first and, as time goes on, link this continent with the rest of the world by aerfal Toutes, a service supplementing ex- isting methods of transportation, one which will traverse space in & mini- mum of time and supply a means of travel both safe and comfortable. “Aerial transportation is just as necessary to present day clvilization as the railroads were to civilization fifty years ago. In no country in the world is this new method of transportation more necessary than ||| in the United States, because of its great expanse of territory and its numerous urban centers of large size. The United States can and should lead the world in the rigid airship field.” The General Air Service Corpora- tion is to be the outgrowth of the American Investigation Corporation, which was formed under the laws of the state of Maryland as its parent, to collect the necessary equipment, patent rights and material for the capitalization of the child company. Officers of Corporation. ‘The officers of the American In- vestigation Corporation, which will practically dissolve into the General Air Service, are as follows: Snowden A. Fahnestock, president; Franklin D. Roosevelt, formerly assistant sec- retary of the Navy, vice president; Francis T. Homer of Bertron, Gris- com & Co., secretary and treas- wrer; Alvin Devereaux of New York, assistant secretary and treasurer. The board of directors includes S. Read- ing Bertron, president of Bertron. Griscom_ & Co., chairman of the board; William B. Joyce, president of the National Surety Company; Samuel McRoberts, Benedict Crowell, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Snowden A. Fahnestock. ‘Arrangements have been completed for the transfer of the patents and rights of the Schuette Lanz lines to the new corporation. A contract has been drawn up and will be signed this week, it was announced, after preliminary and routine dela.fls have been settled. Dr. Schuette arrived in this coun- try almost two weeks ago today. It is his visit which has made possible the ‘incorporation of General Air Service and has made the plans more | definite.

The ships will provide adequate ac- commodations for 100 p.mnnrs and thirty tons of freight.. It lanned to build larger ships for tho lines to South American and European cen- ters when the facilities for complete construction have been gathered in America. Dr. Schuette’s activities as a naval architect in Germany prefaced his entry into the airship industry. He became a professor of naval archi- tecture in Dantzig University in 1904, after experience along these lines for seven years with the North German Lloyd steamship lines. In 1904 he visited this country and ex- hibited a marine tubular boiler at the St. Louls exposition, winning a gold medal for excellence in design nnd performance. Since 1911 Dr. Shuette has bullt twenty-two rigid airships, increasing in size, and excepting in war time opera- tion and as a result of enemy attack not one man has been killed in the opertion of these airships, it was stated at the General Air Service headquarters.
