PLAN AIR ROUTE.

London.-A big step forward in
commercial airpiaue communica-
ton is proposed from Norway in a
plan TO inaugurate at once a regu-
lar air mail service between Sta
vanger and Aberdeen
The submarine warfare has made
the sea mails irregular across the
North sea, and the scheme for an
airplane service is being energet-
ically pushed forward by a Nor
wegian company with the backing
OF the Norwegian government. The
journey across the North sea has
already been made in five hours.
and Il is estimated that. in a regu-
lar service, the average time would
be under four hours and half.
The British government, while 1t
has no airplanes to spare for such
purposes In war time, is prepared
to give the Norwegian company ev-
cry facility, The belief IS general
here that the British Isles should
be the most important center for
airplanes communication between
nations after the war.

is already an accomplished fact,
and America to Britain In Is hours

Food Situation in Central Europe.

A detailed survey of the food situation Germany
Austria Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey during 1917
has just been published by the bureau of labor sta
tiscs of the United States department Of labor This
is based exclusively Iass DEGREES orders,
utterances of public officials civic bodies of the
countries covered, and comments Of the daily
press and leading economic and trade journals Of
these countries
In general, the survey shows that Turkey is ac-
tuaIy starving because the corruption of her own
officials and the greed OF Germany; that Germany
and Austria are not starving but are having very
hard struggle feed themselves; that Hungaryis in
better shape than either Germany or Austria, and
that Bulgaria far food is concerned is suffer
ing the least of all the countries covered The sur
vey also shows that Germany has failed by wide
margin to live up to her reputation for efficiency in
her attempts food administration, having been
obliged poIcities in an effort to rem
edy in part the fatal results of official bIunders 1t
shows concusvely that the civil populations of Ger
many and Austria are suffering permanent physical
deterioration from lack of proper food that the
death from tuberculosis is rapidly increasing
that growing boys and girls not getting half the
nourishment they should have, and that manual
laborers are underfed about the same extent
Politically, the most interesting thing revealed by
the survey is the fact that the traditional hatred
tween the two parts of the dual monarchy Austria
Hungary has been manifesting itself the refusal
of Hungary share her comparative abundance with
Austria and in the official and public resentment of
that fact in the latter country.
Profteering, greed, breakdown of transportation,
and faulty organization big factors in the food
situation OF Germany ana her allies.

exceedingly difficult for his department to carry out
its program to secure increased production of food,
and to conduct Investigations demanded by military

ton the senate committee has heard testimony from

urgent and essential activities Of the department The

service
. That the personal interests Of the employees
we're not considered nor was the employee consulted

vice law and Of the regulations issued by the de-
partment hereunder. only for men who are neces-
sary to the adequate and effective operation Of the
service in which they were engaged and whose quail

outlined. Alice devoted the week to
tender attention for the lover who
