first decision concerning aerial lines will be made.
 The Department of Military Aeronautics in Washington, in it's program of interfield flights, is taking it's first step in. keep ing the United States in it's po- sitiOn of the greatest flying nation of the world. Especially mail service. Mail service will be established between Chicago and New York city very soon, said Lieut.. R. H. Rogers, who acts as publicity agent as well as pilot. And much more quick ly than the people of this cOun try now realize there will be transcontinental mail routes, according to Lieut.. Rogers. The aerial mail service in addi-  tion to being much quicker will not be as complicated as train mail service.
 The establishment of air routes and landing fields, which is the purpose of the present series of cross country flights, is the most immediate and pressing need. It will go fur ther than anything else to make flying afe,according to the army aero-experts, and Capt. Dawson said to the ARGUS man that it was hop ed that the Brinkley Chamber of Commerce would take inn mediate steps to cooperate with the U. $. Aero Department in arranging suitable and per mament landing field at once.
The Brinkley argus., 1918-12-06

Three monster air ships cir cling for several times over Brinkley on Friday last attract ed the attention of our people as they were appearantly trying to find the Brinkley landing field.
 When they landed it proved to be Capt. JIM. Dawson, Lieuts Craft, Rodgers, Caun, Bartlett, and Harwood and their mission was one of great moment to our city.
 Soon after landing they call ed at the ARGUS office and made it known that their visit to Brinkley was an official one. It was to chart and map the territoryfrom Memphis to Little Rock for future aerial mail ser vice military service and com mercial aviation.
 Eberts Field is a logical station for tranScontinental , aerial route, Captain Dawson said. The ground between Memphis and Little Rock is open, making it particularly suited for an aerial route, l They naturally enough had Brinkley marked on the map as an important point-a center or diverging point for local ail routes, where local air ships would take from the fast flyers mail and matter and make delivery thereof.
 It is on the basis of such data as they are getting now that the
