keep them from looking ready made.

wear to-day are effects that cannot he

NOLACK OF AIRMEN
FOR OCEAN FLIGHT
Aviators in Plenty Will Be Available,
Says Workman, Who Urges the
Plan-8,0OO in Training.

NEW YORK, July 5-William H
Workman, general manager for the Hand
ley-Page company in America, asserted
that America would have early next year
enough aviators available to carry out his
plan of flying 10000 heavy bombing planes
across the Atlantic, in order to speed the
delivery of airplanes and save shipping
space for troops and supplies.
There are in France at least 1000
American aviators," he said, waiting for
airplanes to fly. The congressional re-
ports recently published say that there
are 5000 military aviation students under
training in the United States, and most
of these are now waiting to be sent
abroad, but for lack of shipping space to
ship those airplanes which have already
been made and the failure of the program
of 1917, those waiting to be sent to France
are helpless in this war.
Twenty thousand pilots could be
trained easily by May l, 1919, to fly the
Atlantic All we need are 1900 in
December and 1900 each month there
after and, with those who have already
been trained, | understand there are
$4,000 applications made to the army and
navy authorities to join the flying forces.
If training were started at once, they
would not only be expert pilots, but
would receive their full instruction in the
navigation of the trip and all other nee
essary instructions in order to make the
| the project successful.
Il was also asked about engines. The
suggestion was that although each air
| plane could give at least 200 hours more
service after arrival, that this at the rate
of ten hours a night would only give TWEEN
ty nights bombing service. This being
| the case, | would suggest that double the
quantity of the engines must be put into
production at once, one-half OF them to
be made and sent over in ships which will
not take up nearly as much space as the
complete airplanes do. At the end OF
this twenty nights service, | would sng-
gest that all the engines be taken out
from the airpanes and the reserved
! quantity installed; then use these for two
or three weeks, and in the meantime all
of the other engines could be taken down
and gone over and made ready for the
next two weeks service The mechanics
necessary to do this work could be taken
over in the airplanes, and an army oil
from 10000 to 10000 mechanics would
be on hand at all times to do this work
This campaign carried on for six week,
to sixty days would give us peace anc
victory, and bring our men home safely
to the United States by a year from now.

Railroad Operated by the
Federal Government
WILL BE ISSUED
ABOUT AUGUST /
Will Be Accepted for Pullman Accom-

Persons Taking Long Journey Urged
to Buy Trip Tickets.

WASHINGTON, July Universal
mileage tickets to be sold at the basic
rate of three cents a mile are to be issued
by all of the government operated rail
roads August or soon after that date
as practicable
These scrip tickets will be good not
only on all government lines, but they
will be accepted in payment for Pull
man berths, for other Pullman aceommo-
dations,. for excess baggage and all other
charges 1t is believed that their issue
will not only be great convenience to
the public but will greatly simplify rail
road accounting between the various lines,
and work ticket selling and other econo-
mics.
The mileage scrip tickets are to be is
sued first in 1000 mile groups, but larger
ones will be issued if they are demanded
by the public
The war tax will be collected by con
ductors at the time of the presentation
of the mileage scrip.
Each coupon will represent the value
of three cents, thus making the coupons
disable for all charges by a simple com
putation
Persons taking a long journey will be
urged to buy trip tickets as an economy
to themselves On long trips when the
journey can be made by one or more
roads all fares are to be on the basis Of
the short haul route.
For instance, the fare for the New Yorl
to Chicago trip is on the short line basis
If person elects to take the long route
and pays by mileage the cost will be
greater than if travelling on trip ticket
