Obsolete Machines
Especial corrospond-ncel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-As the re-
suit Of a conference between Post
master General Burleson and Secrc-
tary of War Baker and with the ap-
prevail Of the President. Congress is
asked TO authorize the Secretary OF
War to turn over 20 the Postoftice De-
partment all military aeroplanes and
motor vehicles not serviceable for mil
itary purposes or which after the war
may be dispensed with for military SER
vice
As soon as authority Of Congress is
secured and any aeroplanes are turned
over to the Pos.ofYice Department, aero
plane mail routes will be established in
the country, as they now are IN ltaly
and France.
Having the approval OF the Presi--
dent, the following was to-day adopted
by the House Postofiice Committee as
an amendment 90 the Senate ol!i
authorizing experiments in motor truck
delivery by the Postotice Department;
provided, That the Secretary Of War
may, in his discretion, deliver and turn
over TO the Postmaster General from
time to time and without charge there
for, for the use in the postal service,
such aeroplanes and automobiles or
parts thereof as may prove TO be or as
shall become unsuitable for the pur-
poses Of the War Department; and the
Postmaster General is hereby author
lied to use the same, in his discretion,
in the transportation of the mails and
TO pay the necessary expenses thereof
out of the appropriation for inland
transportation by steamboat or other
power boat, or by aeroplanes, from the
appropriation for inland transportation
by star routes"
The bill as amended was favorably
reported to the House to-day and is ex-
pected to be adopted speedily. By the
provisions of this bill aeropisnes which
have become obsolete for military use,
but which have carrying capacity and
speed, will be placed at the service OF
the Postoflice Department for mail de-
livery.
Italy and France both make use of
aeroplanes no longer suitable for mill
tary use for the purpose Of mail de-
livery.
Italy has an aerial mail route from
her coast to Sardinia, and is able to de-
liver five hundred pounds of mail in two
tours. France has a similar aerial
route between her coast and Corsica.
The motor trucks procured from the
War Department at this time or at the
close of the war will be available for
the parcel post truck service.
