PLAN AIR ROUTES
ACROSS COUNTRY
Chain of Landing Fields Will Per-
nit Transcontneutal FLIGHTS.

The first transcontinental air route
is being laid out by the War Depart
ment, with a chain of landing fields
and service stations stretching across
the country from coast to coast, the
War Department announced yester-
day afternoon through the Committee
on Public Information.
AS laid out so far, these stations
await the first flier at intervals of
100 miles, with landing fields. hangers,
machine-shop facilities, maps. charts,
and barometer and thermometer
ratings.
Most of the landings are on army
reservations. but the movement is
gaining momentum rapidly from the
competition of rival cities and towns
for the location of sites.
Officials OF the War Department
predict that before another year has
passed any aviator with an ordinary
powered plane will be able to make
transcontlnental flight without
difficulty or Inconvenience.

stok.
1t has been hard to keep track of
the different Siberian governments
l have seen arise in the last few
weeks. 1t is still hard to determine
Just what will be the scope and
who the head OF the new order In
Siberia now forming out of these va
rious factors.
At times there have seemed to be
five Of them:
Siberia's Five Governments.
1.-The Horvnth government.
The autonomous Siberian
government, or .Derber gov
ernment," named after its first
premier.
3-The vIadIyostok govern
ment, which for n while claimed
the support of the allied con-
suls mt Viadivosfok.
THE western Siberian pro-
Sisional government, first an
nouneed to have chosen Gen.
Alexieff as its generalissimo,
|The Czech-Slavs, on whose
sensational military successes,
one Of the most eIectrlfyInR
campaigns of the present war,
which am describing In n
later story, all the new Siberian
units have been built up.
But 1t is my judgment that, wher
all the rumors in this hotbedz OF
rumors are sifted. things simmered
down, with allied Intervention, to the
Horvath group. accused of beins
somewhat reactionary, and the auton.
omous Siberian government group
accused by Horvath of being toe
radical and socialistic.
SO great and so general was Rus.
sia's Dissemination. even here in
comparatively settled Siberia, that
without allied Intervention these two
factions would probably have re-
mained at skies and sevens, pulling
IN opposite directions, until the re-
suits OF the Czech military successes
the actual. factual basis of the hope
Tor new Siberia, had fallen down
IN the crack between them and been
lost. Even today full Siberian unity
mas not been achieved. But
Why Intervention is Timely.
The chief .timeliness of allied in
tervention lay in this:
II came at the psychological mo-
ment to summon the Horvath crowd
and the autonomous Siberia faction
70 unite with the intervening allied
troops and the Czechs. and present
single front to the Bolsheviki and
armed German prisoners who are
the mutual enemy of all these ST.
berian camps.
only outside force could have
amaIeamated Siberians. even when
the Czech-Slavs presented them
their release from Bolshevism on a
slIver platter. On that basis and
toward that end the present cam
paign Is being conducted.

LACKS
OF LOU HALL
AS MURDERER
Humphreys Deserter Now
Free from Suspicion.
Mystery Uncleared.

After more than two weeks Of
frantic searching and following will
o-the-wisp clues. the Fairfax County
authorities are now turning their at
tention to the vicinity Of Burke
Station. Va. to bnd the murderer Of
Eva Ray. the Il year old girl who
was mysteriously killed on August 6.
Every suggestion. everything that
looked ike q real clue. every. deduc-
ton made either by the county
authorities or outside sources has
turned out to be practically worth
less. judging from results.
II b apparent that the county
prosecutor. Charles W Ford, does not
care to risk bringing Lou Hall, the
suspected woodchopper. to trial with
the iimsy evidence he Possesses
against the man.
For Q while the hopes Of the
the arrest at Charlottesville Of a
deserter from Camp Hurnphries. but
even this turned out. like most all
the other clues, empty and worthless.
Today the murder Of Eva Roy Is
as much Of a mystery as II was when
her body was discovered in the woods,
two days after the crime was COM
nitted.
A New Theory.
The theory that some idiot or
maniac committed the crime Is prac-
ticaIly exploded. because IL such a
person did do 1t. 1t is reasonable to
believe that as this kind OF a person
has never been known to get very
far he would have been caught.
The new theory that the county
authorities will start to work on to-
day is-the murderer of Eva Roy Is
just as likely to be nearby and prob
ably helping them to find him.
Hall. the man under arrest because
he was the first Individual to be sus-
pected. Is being held. II seems, not
because Ford actually believes he rs
guilty, but because IL no one else Is
found or arrested for the crime he
will be In jail and the authorities
may be forced TO bring him to trial
By the pressure and demands of the
public In that vicinity.
Neither Sherin Allison or Prosecu-
tor Ford are willing to discontinue
the search for the murderer. even
though Hall Is in jail and in sub
stance charged with the crime. until
they have exhausted other alleged
clues which evidently lead away from
Hall.
Very few people believe that Hall

by Senator Hitchcock.
The coal companies of the city have
been delivering the coal on the side
walk. Owing to the lack of co-opera-
ton between the retail dealers and
the coal carrying men, exorbant
prices have been charged. In many
instances. the charge has been 81 a
ton and a man has been known to
carry in sixteen tons during the day.
The dealers. 1t Is understood, are
anxious to work in cooperation with

SET FOR FULL
SPEED AHEAD
By That Time Every In
dustry to Be Tuned to
War Needs.

The government expects by January

effective machine to win the war.
All on-essential Industries will have
been shifted to essential work; all
n-essential workers will have been
put in the army or shifted their
labor to efforts which count in war
winning.
That's what Chairman Hurley. Of
the Shipping Board. meant when he
said "within six months the United
states would be one great corporation
to win the war, and a greater war
winning corporation the world mas
never seen or dreamed Of"
That's what Chairman Baruch. OF
the War Industries Board, meant
when he said. I'VE were coming 10
live In a highly organized state OF
socialism, when the value of the In
diyidual. and his possessions was as
nothing except as he contributed his
life and wealth to further the pur-
poses Of the state. to win the war"
New steps in this program an
nounced yesterday in Washington are:
COMPLETION OF the organization OF
the country into districts by the War
Industries Board. each district to
have a supervisor. who shall point
the way for the utilization Of all ma
terial and industry under his 1uris-
diction to do its part in the win-the-
war program.
Conclusion OF the negotiations be-
tween the War Industries Board and
the automobile Chamber Of Com
merce, by which the pleasure car in
dustry is permitted to match up its
material stock on hand, so as to
liquidate 1t all by January ]. when
its full energy must be turned into
war channels, trucks, airplane. ord
nance and munition manufacture. For
the remaining six months OF the
year. each factory is permitted to
produce 25 per cent of its full pro-
duction for the year Of 1917. and ex-
cess material over the amount nee
essary for this must be turned over
to war needs.

tural iron workers and copper
smiths.
