"A direct airplane mail service be-
tween Philadelphia and Chicago will be
installed when the business demands
such a service" said Charles y. Right
Of the Postofflce Department, at today's
luncheon of the Rotary Club at the Hotel
Adelphia.
con outlined the achievements of his
airplane mail service. and at the lunch
con. outlined the achievements OF his
department and its plans for the future.
He said that within six weeks a per-
manent airplane mail service would be
established between New York and Chi
cago, which would insure the transpor-
tation of mail from one city to the other
in six and one-half hours.
The speaker made no attempt to gloss
over the faults of the New York. Phila-
delphia and Washington service, but
made it plain that the faults are being
ironed out and that in short time
the service will run with clocklilie pre-
CiSion.
Since last June the planes have COW
cred more than 1O0.00 miles and car
ried more than 100000 letters. which
is "a notable record when we consider
that the service is in its experimental
stage" lie said. To-day the schedules
are being maintained. and despite bad
weather conditions the airmen are es-
tablishing records.
"The airplane mail service has be-
come a permanent institution, and as
fast as new planes are obtained and
pilats trained for the service new routes
will be established. The Postoffice De-
partment has planned to criss-cross the
country with airplane mail routes and
has been given assurances by South
American republics that they will link
up with our service in the near fu-
ture."
speed Assures Success
Mr., Knight confided departmental
secret to the diners by saying that when
the New York, Philadelphia and Wash
ington service was established. friction
between the Postoffice and War De-
partments developed.
The airmen were connected with the
War Department and would not take
commands from the Postoffice Depart
ment. If the day was cloudy they would
not work, and If all airman became
hungry he would drop from the clouds
for lunch. These delays were bad and
reflected on the efficiency OF the serv-
ice but they have been eliminated. for
the airmen are now part of the Post
office Department. Airplane mail service
will revolutionize mail-carrying systems,
It's wonderful speed makes for success

The Associated Press.)-From a
parapet of the Fortress Ehrenbreit-
stein, more than four hundred feet
above the junction Of the Moselle and
Rhine, Secretary Daniels. had his first
glimpse this afternoon Of American
marines on duty. Patrol boats were
darling back and forth among the
barges and tugs on the river, the
American flag streaming from the
stern mast Of each little boat.
At the point where the Moselle
joins the Rhine stands a heroic
statue Of Emperor William First, said
to be the largest Of its kind in Ger
many. Beyond the statue there are
great piles Of lumber which aroused
Secretary Daniels curiosity. 1t was
explained to him that the lumber was
intended for new buildings which will
serve as recreation centers and bar
racks for the American soldiers of the
army of occuption.

Orchestra and
SOlOiStS Please
People of City
APPEARANCE Of Emil OberholRer and
His Famous Band Of Musicians 1t
Metropolitan Thursday Night PrOv-
ed to be Musical Event Here.

Under the direction Of Emil Obet-
hotter, the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra appeared Thursday at the
Metropolitan with a concert quite in
accord with the reputation of the ia
nous company Of musicians. Solo
on the program were given
by Miss Harriet Mcconnell, contralto;
bert Lindquest, tenor.
The Symphony orchestra has been
in Grand Forks a number Of times
during the 10 years Of its touring, and
each temperance begets an anticipa-
ton always fully realized. Emil Ober-
hotter led his musicians through a
program Thursday night which was
effective both through its choice Of
numbers and its quality Of production.
1t was thought that other programs
heard here have been more popular
no feeling Of disappointment connect
ed with last nights performance. Ex-
cellent work was done by both orches-
ira and soloists and Grand Forks was
again inspired by a presentation Of
excellent music.
Symphony No. S in e minor, by
Tschaikowsky. done in four move
ments held the popular place on the
program. Excellent work on the clari-
hSS was cS1OcuL LII LuS UISL move"
ment. and the whole composition was
a piece OF beauty. The three move
ments of the Lyric suite. the most ia
miliar part of which is the March
of the Dwarfs," proved to be a special
delight. Saint Saens' symphonic poem
Dance Of DEATH" had an especial
appeal to students Of music. and pre-
sented some beautiful effects. Violin
work by Guy Woodland was a most ef-
fective part Of the symphony. Excel
lent solo work vas done by Karl
Scheurer and Carl Steffensen, with
the viola n English horn, in two
Caucasian sketches.
A beautiful Interpretation Of the
Dvorak "Andante'' was given by the
cello soloist. Herman Beyer-Hane,
and his encore. Wood Spirits" was
equally beautiful. Mr.. Lindquest sang
an aria from Les Huguenots,' and
responded to an encore. Miss McCon-
nell sang a Gounod aria, 20 ma Tyre
1mmortelle," and proved to be most
popular as a soloist.
