OUR NEW AERoPosTAL SERVICE.
New York washington AirpIane Mail a
Complete Success.

A few weeks ago airplane mail serv--
ice was inaugurated daily Except Sun
day. between Washington, Philadel-
phia and New York city. The three.
hour schedule calls for speed of Is
miles per hour for the entire distance
of about 225 miles. While slight de-
lays occurred during the first few
trips, soon the pilots learned the
route, and they have since been carry
ing the mail between these cities pref
ty nearly on schedule time.
The postage rate was at first fixed
at "a cents per ounce, but was reduced
on July Is to 16 cents for the first
ounce and cents for each additional
ounce. This being but little more than
the cost of a special delivery letter by
regular mail and only about half the
cost of ten word telegram and the
time required for delivery being about
the same as telegram and only
about half that of regular mail, the
new service is steadily increasing in
popularity and usefulness.
The entire direct and indirect cost
of this new service per trip is esti-
mated at 500 as against possible post
age receipts Of about $500 per trip.
This makes still further reduction in
aeropostal rates both possible and
probable. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that the gasoline
consumption is at the rate of about
five and one-quarter miles per gallon,
or but little greater than that of a
large automobile. A gain in such mile
age is assured with the increasing eff
ciNhcy of airplane motors. Costs will
also soon be decreased by the use of
standardized repair parts and in vari-
GUS other ways, and there is every rea-
son to believe that rates for this new
service will eventually be but little if
any higher than for regular mail.
The project thus far is a success in
| every way, and as soon as there is a
let-up in the war requirements for air.
planes aerial mail lines will be rapidly
extended to all parts of the country.
This will be a great boon for rural
sections, since packages as well as
first class mail can by the use of small
parachutes be delivered at almost any
point without the necessity of making
a landing. Thus many who live re-
mote from town and railroad as well
as those living in our great cities will
probably soon be able to have the cur
rent daily paper dropped at the door
each morning before breakfast and
may also secure the quick delivery of
small packages of merchandise from
distant parts of the country.

THE HALF-WlTTED CAR.

Our friends the Socialists have be-
come seriously alarmed at the ex-
posure of the BOlsheviki of Russia as
being the secret agents of Germany,
or, at least, they profess to be. But
one thing they cannot evade, and they
have never shown the least desire to
evade, and that is the murder of the
half-witted Gar of Russia and the
horrible murder of the little thirteen
year-old son because he wept when
told of his fathers death.
The American people ought to real
ize that whatever the Bolsheviki have
done in Russia the Socialist party
would do in America if they could get
the start. They have been on the side
of Germany since 1914, and have tried
by every means in their power to
check and hinder any war measures
proposed by the government. The st.
Louis platform should be studied by
every citizen.

Loved One, when you come back to me
The sun will shine, and soft winds
blow,
And we will link the days of Then
With broken threads of Long Ago.
Then ours will be sun-kissed sky
Without cloud or tinge of gray
To mar the perfectness of it
When you come back-to me-some
day.
The house will hold no dread-no fear
Just waiting, with a joy filled heart
And welcome for each coming day
For Time will tear dark clouds apart
And turn them into golden dreams
That later merge to twilight gray,
And Now will be curtained Past
When you come back-tO me-some
day.
The fame-shot blackness that engulfs
Shall disappear like silvery mist,
And paths-o'er which you slip and
slide
Will bloom with flowers - rare =
beauty kissed,
For clothed gore and stench-clothed
Shall breathe to life Earth's fairest
flowers
And Vict'ry sweet will Danish night
Behind the hills and morn-bathed
hours.
And when you do return to me,
AS true as when you marched away,
With naught but mem'ry left-of
Life will be one long, perfect day.
Then Love will take the place of Fear,
For Vict'ry flashlights all the world,
And recompense for that which is
Will be our flag - unstained = I'M
furled.
And then, with all the struggle past,
Through loyalty to flag and home,
Through bitterness and sacrifice,
| knOw-My Loved One-you will
come,
And dreams that were shall be full
filed
Dreams worth the parting, waiting,
pain,
And we will walk the old, loved paths
When you come back-to me-again.

No More German Marine.

The Germans are frantically trying
to persuade themselves that they will
have a large mercantile marine as
soon as the war is over. Vain hope
They will have no seacoast, no navy,
and no coaling stations, nor colonies
abroad. 1t is of the utmost Importance
to humanity that they be debarred
from the sea forever! We should start
public meetings all over the United
States to proclaim this doctrine, so
that all citizens will have clarity of
idea and purpose when the war ends.

1t was been proved that the
present railway companies are not
financially able to execute the
urgent and necessary works for
the development Of the national
railway system in a form ade-
quate for the future requirements
of Spain, and the minister, there

fundamental Importance for the
organization of the country's eco
nomical life thai the problem of
the railways should be solved.
The minister further stated that
until this problenl is solved Spain
will not be able to increase its
military power however much is
spent on military services, nor
will any proper benefit be obtain
cd from the assistance given to the
siderurgical and mstallurgical
industries. The intensification of,
the national railway system would
open up a wide field for the min
ing industry ana would make it
possible to work in Spain the ore
now exported as raw material.
EMPLOYMENT OF CAPITAL.
The minister considers that con-
cessions, both for water power,
which the State may grant must be
limited to private individuals and
to enterprises which are domiHled
in Spain. He is not in favor of
rejecting the aid of foreignf capi-
