DECLARES AIR RACE
SHOWS ISOLATION OF
j. s. IS BROKEN DOWN
America No Longer Distant
from Europe or Asia, Says
Army Officer.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Completion
of the trans continental air derby
"plainly demonstrates that the isola-
ton of America, with respect to Asia
and Europe is completely broken
down." Brigadier General VIM. Nit
chell. chief of operations of the army
air service, declared in statement
| tonight to the Associated Press.
i "The air line distance covered, y
said General Mitchell, "is 5,4O2 miles
in less than so hours OF actual fly
: ing time. 1t is as far as from
Constantinople to New York; from
Berlin to Denver; from Toxic to San
Francisco; and twice the distance
from Europe to America.
"Naviation in the air is easy if one
has visibility, because the pilot Of an
airplane can see greater area OF
the earth's surface than from any
other transportation device. A great
impedient to air navigation is the
fog, and this will have to be counter
acted in the future, first, by selecting
routes that are free frof fog; second,
by having a meteorological service
which will show exactly where the
fog is, its height, thickness probable
duration, and third, by obtaining in
struments which will allow naviga-
ton in fog, and will develop sys-
tenn Of dispelling fog over an air.
drome.
1.-THE most important thing to be
done for the future of aviation is to
develop a motor more sure of oper-
alton than any we have had. The
landing gear on airplanes can be
greatly improved and can be adapted
on the same machine for landing in
the water, on the ground, and for
landing in the snow and ice. In the
future, it will be possible to supply
airplanes while in the air without
necessitating their landing on the
ground during the voyage. Other
airplanes can fly above them and
transfer oil, gas and food by means
on tubes and pipes from one to the
other.
development along all these lines
is not difficult, but will require
time"

10 Met Death.
The grim spectre of death winged
its tragic flight with the army's
great trans-continental air derby
Ten lives had been the toll to the
time Lieutenant Maynard crossed
the finish line. Seven had died ac-
tually in the contest, and three in
connection with it.
From New York to San francisco
the route of the flight was dotted
with disabled planes, which were
forced to land and quit the race, OF
crashed to destruction from the air
Many fliers were injured. and the &c
control stations between terrninal
points saw first aid work from day
to day as the derby progressed.

Burleson Orders Wires Back To
Private Hands.

The telegraph and telephone companies
whose lines have been controlled and OPP
Grated by the Government since last Au-
gust have been ordered to resume imme-
date operations for their own account by
Postmaster General Burleson. The Post
Office Department. however. under terms
of Mr.. Burlesons ORDER retains measure
OF control of the services, pending final
legislative action by Congress.
Regulations prohibiting discrimination
against wire employees because Of union
affiliations. maintaining existing rates and
charges and instructing companies to keep
special accounts to facilitate cost settle
ment between themselves and the Govern
ment. are retained in effect under the or
der issued by the Postmaster General.
Mr.. Burleson accompanied the order with
a statement giving the reasons which i'm
PEELED him to take the action. He asserted
that the President having recommended
the return of the properties. the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee having in
Dictated that immediate return was advis-
able, and the House committee having,
through hearings, manifested desire for
action toward that end, he felt it his duty to
return operative control to the various pri-
waite owners.

The Suffrage Amendment.
From The Baltimore Sun.

The Sun regrets that the suffrage con-
stitutional amendment has passed the
Senate. because we fear that 1t will
involve many things that will not
make for peace and that may endaneer
progress. II is another step toward the
complete notification Of the doctrine Of
local lf-government. formerly regarded
as an essential bulwark of our national
structure, and still. in our judgment, of
practical concern and value 1t is curl
Gus commentary on the difference between
theory abroad and practice at home that
while we are emphasizing the Importance
Of self-determination in Europe. we are
depriving the States which compose our
own Union of this very right.
Congress has now made its bid for the
vote Of the women in the Western and
other States which already enjoy the fran
chise. but the suffrage amendment is likely
TO have much more difficult road to vic
tory than the prohibition amendment. Con-
gressmen generally think in political terms.
A good many Of the States to be affected
by this proposition will think of II from
their local standpoints alone. There are
enough Of them to make the result doubt
ful and the struggle protracted. to say the
least. And they will need only few
allies to hold up the amendment indef-
nitely. II the Democratic party should at
tempt to coerce the recalcitrant States. il
may be counting disaster.

Getting Ready For DecenniaI
Census.

Uncle Sam is rapidly getting ready to
take stock" To put it more clearly. prep
arations are well along for the fourteenth
decennial census. to be made in 1920
The last Congress granted an appropria-
tion for the work. and a force Of several
hundred clerks is busy in the Census Bu-
reau making the necessary preparations
for the huge task. which must be accom-
plished in few weeks
For this immense job the bureaus reeu-
lar force Of about four hundred employees
will be expanded to $4,000 or more The
The appropriation which Congress has
made for the work is SIC. 100000. This
amount covers also the ordinary expenses
Of the bureau during 1919.
The census will include not only emu
meration of the population Of the United
States. continental and insular, but also a
canvass of the agricultural. manufactur-
ing. mining and quarry, oil and gas and
other interests for all States as well as for
the District of Columbia. Alaska. Hawaii
Porto Rico. Guam. Samoa and the Canal
Zone.
For the purposes Of the enumeration.
the country has been divided into 37S
supervisory districts. with a supervisor for
each, to whom about $4,000 enumerators
will report.
The actual enumeration will be COM
pleted in few weeks. although il will be
several months before results will begin to
be known. Nevertheless. the figures will
be available much earlier for the 1920
census than was the case in 1910, because
this time the census will be as of January
|, instead Of April IS, as in 1910. The
change was made because it is believed
the agricultural census will be more rel-
able on the earlier date.
Chief interest in the census, of course,
will be in the population. but great many
interests require much more detailed in
formation. such as the ratio Of males and
females. distribution. degree of illiteracy
proportions Of whites and blacks, proper.
ton of foreign born to native population
and many other facts that can be learned
only through Uncle Sans decennia "stocl
taking" The 1920 census is certain t.
bring out many changes. for the past dec
ade has been one of wonderful growth anC
development.
Next to population. the greatest interes
will be in the census Of agriculture Thi:
will show the number and acreage Of farm,
in the country and in each State anC
county; the number Of acres OF improved
land value Of farms and the stocks o
machinery; number and kind of live stock
and practically every detail of infOrma
ton relating to agriculture.
The census of manufacturers is takeI
every five years. unlike the other inqui
ries This will be Of unusual interest thi:
time because the last census was taken il
1914, when the world was at peace. Sine,
then the greatest war in history has beer
fought and America has accomplished al
industrial expansion that is unparalleled
This census. therefore, covering the calen
dar year 1919. will present statistical por
trayal Of the transition of American in
dustries from peace to war and from wa
back to peace basis.
