TESTING MATERIAL
 FOR CONCRETE BOATS
 FOR JAPAN NATION

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. r. = Testing silico-concrete as a mate rial for shipbuilding, the Japanese government has supervised the con- struction of a boat at Fukuyawa, near Tokio, according to an official of a Japanese steamship company here.
 If the experiment is successful a number of 100-ton vessels for Jap anese coast trade will be built of the concrete mixture it was said, 9s lumber is expensive in Japan. The silico-concrete boat is said to be 40 per cent lighter than she would have been under ordinary concrete construction and 25 per cont. lighter than if steel had been used. ~

LONDON, Dec 20.-Councillor Ju Illus Meinl. probably the wealthiesi man in Austria, in discussing the present and future of the Dual Mon archy, said: "Austria-Hungary will itself be future League of Nations, and l would not be surprised to see the organization of this league es. poused by President Wilson" Dr. Meinl expressed the fear that for some years Austria Hungary will be so split up by the false idea of self domination" that all economic ties will be broken and each new nation will rear an economic wall against every other nation which will be dis. asterous because every section is de pendent on every other.

Lieut.. Holman and Lieut.. Finnegan, Alaska Army Officers, Say Air Serv-\
 ice Is Feasible.
EXPERIENCED Al R M E N
Both Pliers Have Made Good in Army and Both Are Familiar with all
 Alaska Conditions.

Lieut. Crit Holman and Lieut.. anxious to be given an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility Of an afrplane mail service throughout Ai- aska. Both are in the aviation ser training camps. Lieut.. Holman was among the first to join the aviation service after the war, and he quickly became so efficient that he was re- tained throughout the war as a train CT at American aviation training fields.
 Both Lieut.. Holman and Lieut.. Finnegan feel certain that airplanes would be practicable as mail carriers in Alaska. Both of them have years of experience in various parts of Alaska, and speak with experience.
 Lieut.. Holman spent a number of years at Nome with his parents, and then moved to Seward where his ia ther was game warden for many years. He has been all over the Ter ritory and is familiar with it under both Summer and Winter conditions
 Lieut.. Finnegan is a brother of Capt. J. J. Finnegan of Juneau. and has spent years along the coast of the Third Division and in the Inter. for. He has been with the aviation service for some time, and won his  commission in the Army some months ago by his work on the train ing fields.
 Lieut.. Finnegan writing to Capt. Finnegan about the plans of Lieut.. Holman and himself. says:
 From now on there will be little training done at the various aviation fields. and some fields will be dis. continued entirely The Government has more training planes than it can possibly use and many of them are equipped with Hespano-Sulza motors just the thing for an experimental, tryout. These planes will travel 90 miles per hour and can be easily constructed with runners for landing on snow and also with an auxiliary gas tank, so as to be in the air for at least six hours.

train will take mail to Anchorage and from there, or any place where there is a frozen lake so as to make 'take-Off we could go to Fairbanks in three and a half or four hours
 If this could be put through and the affair started as soon as possi ble, Crit and I would like to be rec commended for the experimental work We think we are fitted for this more than any other flyers on ac count of our knoweldge of the coun try and it's conditions.
 ''The machines could be shipped this Winter and we could make sev eral trial trips in March and April and then, after proving it to be a success, we would apply for the Lib erty motor, which would carry COG pounds of mail The Hespano will carry 200 pounds without in the least overlooking it.
 As an experimental requirement we would need not less than five machines, but would prefer ten.
 q think if action was taken i'm mediately we could make our trial trip on the 18th of March and I also think we are the logical ones for the job. It would be but a small rsatter to extend the route to Nome and other interior points after once established.
 Do not think this is a pipe dream because it would be the easiest thing if Washington would sane tion it and give us the opportunity of proving our contention.'
