TO CARRY MAIL
BY AIR ROUTES
Postohce Department
Makes Use of Plan Re-
Gently Adopted Abroad.

As the result of a conference be-
tween Postmaster General Burleson
and Secretary OF War Baker, and
with the approval of the President,
Congress is asked to authorize the
Secretary of War TO turn over to the
Postoffice Department all military
aeroplanes and motor vehicles not
serviceable for military purposes, or
which after the war may be dis
pensed with for military service.
As soon as authority Of Congress is
secured and any aeroplanes are turn
ed over to the Postoffice Department,
aeroplane mail routes will be estab-
lished in the country, as they now are
in Italy and France.
Having the approval of the Presi-
dent. the following was yesterday
adopted by the House Postoffice Com
mittce as an amendment to the Sem
ate bill authorizing experiments in
motor truck delivery by the Postoffice
Department:
Provided: That the Secretary of
War may. in his discretion, deliver
and turn over TO the Postmaster Gem
eral, from time TO time, and without
charge therefor. for use in the
postal service, such aeroplanes and
automobiles, or parts thereof, as may
prove to be, or as shall become, un-
suitable for the purposes of the War
Department; and the Postmaster Cen
eral Is hereby authorized to use the
same, in his discretion, in the trans
portation of the mails and to pay the
necessary expenses thereof out of the
appropriation for inland transporta-
ton by steamboat or other power
boat or by aeroplanes from the ap-
preparation for inland transportation
by star routes"
The bill, as amended, was favorably
reported to the House and is expect
ed To be adopted speedily.
Italy has an aerial mail route from
her coast to Sardinia, and is able TO
deliver 100 pounds of mail in two
hours. France has similar aerial
route between her coast and Corsica.
The motor trucks procured from the
War Department at this TIM or at
the close of the war will be available
for the parcel post truck service.
The bill authorizes the Postmaster
General to conduct experiments in the
operation of motor vehicle truck routes
in the vicinity of such cities in the
United States as he may select. and
under such rules and regulations as
he NAV prescribe, and the cost OF
such experiments may be paid by the
Postmaster General out of any of the
unexpended appropriations for the
postal service, not TO exceed SnV'"".
