Germany, which already controls the civil air lines of Central Europe, is now making a great bid to establish air lines from Ireland to the Continent across the very.

How Germany rules the world in civil aviation may be gauged from the fact that 2,325 foreign sirplanes made fights between Great Britain and the Continent last year.

Germany operates 14,500 miles of air routes in Europe, France has 8,800 miles, Britain 1,000 miles.

Great Britain is on the point of": losing the potential Irish service, owing to lack of initiative.

I am able to reveal that a Ger- man company, operating German machines, will probably shortly open a service between Queenstown and the Continent.

American liner passengers will be picked up at Queenstown and raced to Europe vid Dublin, Liver pool, and Hull, Seaplanes from Hull will carry them across the North Set to Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, Branch lines will link" up with London, and will enable travellers to reach Paris, Berlin, and Vienna from thirty-six to forty-eight hours ahead of the present time-table.

It takes by boat and train some fourteen hours to reach Cork or Waterford from London. An air plane will do the journey in leas than four hours.
