BURLESON REPORTED
IN AIRPLANE MATTERS
Sensation In Senate Over
A Story Of Former
Air Man

Washington, Dec. ia letter
from b. b. Lipsner, former chief of
the aerial mail service of the Post
office Department, making a series of
grave charges against the postmaster
generals management of the service,
was filed in the Senate to-day by Sem
ator Sherman. of Illinois. to whom
the letter was addressed.
Lipsner makes the charge that Otto
Praeger. second assistant postmaster
general. told him that Postmaster
General Burleson was financially in
terested in the Glenn-Martin Airplane
Company at Cleveland, o. He charges
that the department is spending mil
lions of dollars in constructing special
planes for carrying the mails, instead
of utilizing the planes turned over by
the War Department.
The charge is also made that in
competent men have been placed in
charge of the airplane service under
Postmaster General Burlesons direc-
ton, and that the death of an aviator
and the serious injury of another last
Monday are directly attributable to
the incompetency of men.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-12-27
inexperienced Staff.

THE apparent reason for the APP
pointment of such an inexperienced
stan is that expenditures are con-
templated which experienced engin-
GERS would refuse to sanction.
THE second assistant postmaster
general has politically announced that
Congress will be asked to expend
S1S6. 100000 in the extension of the
aerial mail. This is to come on top
of an authorized expenditure of
$3.50. 100000 for army aviation.
"It seems to me that the time has
come to ask why the costly army
equipment and personnel has been al
most totally disregarded by the post
master General. who has embarked on
an independent course of experiment
tations which seems to threaten a
great waste of public money.
'In this regard | wish to state that
| was told BY second assistant Post
master General Praeger during the
discussion regarding the taking of
certain War Department equipment
that the postmaster general was fl
nancially interested in the Glenn
Martin Company, of Cleveland. o."
Lipsner's letter was dated Deem
Der 10, and in a telegram sent to
Senator Sherman December 16 he
said the department had decided to
ask for $2,185,OOO for the purchase
of airplanes instead of S1S6,00O, 900.
December IS Lipsner telegraphed
Senator Sherman to the effect that
Aviator Smith was killed and Aviator
Sykes injured by being forced to
land, and said that more deaths will
occur under present supervision.

ALSO Be PRUSSIAN
FOREIGN SECRETARY

Amsterdam, Oct. 4-Prince Max
milan of Baden has been appointed
German chancellor. says an official
announcement received from Berlin.
Deputies Groeber, Centrist and
Scheidemann, majority Social Demo-
crat, have been appointed secretaries
Of the state without portfolios.
The official statement adds that
Prince Macmillan also has been
named Prussian foreign secretary.
He will announce his program at a
full meeting of the Reichstag on Oct.
8.
The official title Of the chancellor
is president Of the Prussian council
of ministers, Prussian minister Of
foreign affairs and imperial chancel-
lor. Prince Macmillan succeeds
Count Won Hertling, who was ap-
pointed chancellor last November in
| succession to DR.. George Michaelis.
Adolf Groeber Is one of the leaders
Of the Centrist party. Recent before
the main committee of the Reichstag,
he criticized the government and at
tackled Count Won Hertling, the leader
Of the Centrists. In the Reichstag in
March 1918. he defeated Germany's
methods of making peace with Russia
at Brest-Litovsk.

| Philip Scheidemann is vice president
Of the Reichstag and the leader of the
majority Social Democrats. He, with
his wing of the party. while nominally
opposing some Of the governments war
policies, has swung to the governments
aid whenever the German arms seemed
to be in the ascendancy. This was not
ably the case when after the passage OF
the mo annexation and indemnities'
resolution of July, 1917. the majority So
cialists acquiesced in the negotiation Of
the notorious Brest-Litovsk treaty. AL
though anything but an international
Socialist in practice. he has been active

helping her peace offensives as much az
possible He has been called tool OF

New Casss

So far as was learned Friday there
was but little change in the situation
az regards the presence of the grip
and influenza in the city as compared
with that Of the preceding day. The
estimated number Of cases in the
city on Thursday was between IS and
80. and the number Of cases reported
yesterday to the Board Of Health by
local physicians was Is. some Of
which had undoubtedly been includ-
ed in the estimate Of Thursday. The
physicians are expected to make daily
reports to the Board Of Health. and
the future statements regarding the
number Of cases in the city as report
ed to the board. will doubtless be
more accurate. In the meantime pre-
cautions are being taken by the au-
thorities to prevent the further

Germans Fighting With
Energy of Desperation
On Western Front

tors Of the western front tells Of re-
cent efforts by the enemy to stem
The Germans are putting in their
best troops, and. according to all
correspondents, are fighting with the
energy Of desperation.
Still there is no sign Of any great
retreat, except the withdrawal in the
Flanders sector, where the British
have occupied Armentieres and Lens
and are closely pressing the retiring
enemy. The recapture Of the great
French coal region affords great sat-
isfaction here. In the Sequehart-
Bony sector the Allied breach in the
Hindenburg system was extended
today and the fighting reached the
outskirts of Montbrehain, where
Australian units with tanks are op-
Grating.
The importance the Germans at
tach to the retention of this por-
ton of the line is indicated by the
Frankfort Gazette, which states
that in order to prevent a frontal
break-through between Cambria
and st. Quentin, General Won
