rE he { London.--FromyLondon to Canada in two and a half days, to India in, five days, to Capetown in six days, to Australia in eleven days and to New Zealand in thirteen days. These were the possibilities of the air which Sir Sepeel Hoare, British Air Minister, has submitted to the Imperial Con- ference. "There is to-day no technical of operational reason," Sir' Samuel de- clared,. "why, by aeroplane or airship, - London should not be brought within a fortnight of the farthest cities and territories of the Empire. Sir Samuel devoted himself to civil aviation, and proposed the organization of long- distance Empire air routes beginning in the Far East and from Australia to Ou, on the mosaic plan. "We must," he said, "each of us insert our particular stone in the design." His proposal, Sir Samuel suid, in- volved no subsidy. It involved nothing more 'than co-operation between one Government and another, and between military and civil flying. Sir Samuel pressed that the Dominions and de- ies should create and maintain landing grounds in good order. He held that the airship would carry out the long-distance, non-stop air jour- neys of the future, and indicated that two airships were now being built in England which should, with a normal load of freight and passengers, be able to fly without refuelling in good wea- ther a distance of 4,000 miles, There! would be promenade decks outside the rooms, The aeroplane and the airship were really complementary to each other, the British Air Minister said. Tt was Hcsatary to organize both. along lines of long-distance flying, the aeroplane being invaluable for short-stage traf- fic, and particularly needed at pres- ent, when the airship program was still in the experimental stage. Sir Samuel pressed that the Domin- jons should co-operate in preparing for airship development. To this énd two things were essential--highly effi- cient meteorological information and the erection of mooring masts. "In a year's time," Sir Samuel pro- ceeded, "these two airships should be completed. It is then .proposed to carry out adequate home trials and subsequently to fly one of these air- ships regularly to and from India for a full period of trial in tropical coun- tries. When these trials are com- pleted it 1s hoped, if the Dominions so desire, to make demonstration flights to the Capitals of the Empire." Sir Samuel's wish was to see a commer- cial airghip line started at the eariiest possible moment between Great Bri tain and the Dominions. He further suggested that before the next Imper- tal Conference there should be an Em- pire air conference to discuss develop- { ments, Premier Stanley Bruce observed that flying had developed so much in Australia that taking an aeroplane was now like taking 2 a taxicab. THREE KILLED WHEN TRAIN STRIKES AUTO Small Hope for Recovery of | Woman Injured in Level Crossing Crash at Milton. Milton, Ont.--Three men were killed | anda woman was seriously injured when a C.P.R. westbound Toronto- | Guelph passenger train struck a so- dan at a level crossing about 300 yards | east of the station here at 2.256 Wed-! nesday afternon. The dead are: A. B. Couch of Montreal, Jesse Kipps of Hamiiton and A. E. Jones of Hamil ton, while Mrs. A. E. Jones was very serious,y injured and little hope is held out for her recovery. The sedan, driven by Mr. Jones, was struck in the centre and carried along the track for about 200 yards until the train came to a stop. The three men were instantly killed, while Mrs. Jones, found to be living, when extricated from the red, was taken immediate'y to Dr. A. King's resi- dence here, and re was rushed by ambulance to the Hamilton 'General | Hospital, where she lies in a critical condition. The men were members of the exe- cutive of the Zimmerknit Knitting Company of Hamilton, and, accompan= fed by Mrs. Jones, they had completed an inspection of the Milton Yard and Spinning Mills, on the north side of the C.P.R. tracks. When crossing the tracks on their return it is supposed that Mr. Jones' attention had drawn by a shunting freight in the yards and he did not notice the ap- proach of the passenger train. A mass of twisted iron and wood, any part of which could be lifted by a boy, was all that remained of the motor car. Hamilton.--A. B. Couch, president of the Zimmerknit, Ltd., lived in Mon- treal. He is said to have been middle- aged, married, and leaves several children. He came to Hamilton on Monday to visit the local plant, as he was accustomed to do from time. to time. . Mr. Couch took a keen interest in the Zimmerknit softbail team. He « is said to have been prominent in busi- ness circles in. Montreal. Albert E. Jones, who was president of the Hamilton Hosiery Company, a selling company of the Zimmerknit, Ltd, lived at 104 Flatt avenue, Ham- Nton. * Jesse Kipps was superintendent of * the Zimmerknit, Ltd.
