TWENTY PA9SENQTRS CARRIED
300 MILES ON DEUTSCHLAND.
The Voyage Wa Made In Nine Houra
and on Perfect Schedule
Time.
PesseUlorf, Germany. A new epoch
In transportation has dawned. The
first passenger airship the world ever
saw made its initial trip on schedule
time.

It was Count Zeppelin and bis giant
craft, the Deutschland, that made the
trip. The vessel, carrying 20 passcn-
ers, sailed from Frederichshafen and
anded here nine hours later, having
sailed 300 miles.
Had Perfect Weather.

motors worked faultlessly. The aver
age time maintained for the complete
course wa approximately 33 mile an
hour, but between Frederichshafen and
Stuttgart the 124 miles was covered
at an average rate of 41 miles an
hour. The best speed for a single
hour wa 4414 miles.
The hour and minute of the prob
able passing of various points had
been bulletined ahead so that not only
the people of the cities on the line,
who filled the streets, but the Inhabit
ants of all intermediate villages turned
out and cheered enthusiastically as the
mmense torpedo-like structure with
whistling screw drove over their
heads at a height of between 200 and
300 feet.
Regular trips will be made and many
Ickett already have been sold for the
first few days at from 125 to .".0 each.
The airship Is equipped with a restau
rant which will surply the passengers
with a buffet service such as is af
forded on railroad trains.
