As HOUR AIR MAIL
SERVICE TO PACIFIC
TERMED PRACTICAL
Major Albert Smith Predicts Route
VIII Be In Regular Use Within
VnaR

I 4 Is
The most practicable transconti-
mental airplane mail carrying route is
from either San Francisco or San
Diego through to Texas. and thence
up the Atlantic coast to Philadelphia,
Washington and New York believe
that the Tying time of this service be-
tween New York and California can
be cut to fcrty-eight hours, and that
an uninterrupted service can be main
tanned every day ID the year.
This statement was made by Major
Albert Smith, commander Of the
Transcontinental Air Mapping squad
ron, at San Diego, Calf who recently
completed q successful flight from San
Diego To New York and return.
Major Smith said that the San Fran
cisco-New York transcontinental aerial
mail service should include the fol-
loving stops: Yuma, Phoenix and
Tuscon, Ariz,; Ell Paso, Big Springs
Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas; Mont
gomery. Ala. Jacksonville. Fla; Sa-
svannh. Ga; Raleigh, N c.; Petersburg
and~EIampton, va; Washington, Phil
adeiphia and New York II necessary
the service could include Arcadia and
ST. Augustine, Fla, but this would
add at least two hundred miles to each
landing place. where mail could be
dropped and fuel and oil taken aboard.
Major Smith believes that the most
suitable type Of airplane for the trans
continental serial service is Martin
bombing machine, equipped with twin
Liberty motors Of 4O0-horse power
each. Should one Of the mo .ors de-
velop trouble the airplane should reach
It's destination with the remaining
motor. thereby insuring one hundred
per cent flying efficiency, said the
major
He said he had conference q
Washington with officials Of the postal
department, and ne predicts that a
trans continental aerial service be-
tween San Francisco and New York
will be established within year

in nine hours and thirty minutes He
had breakfast al Fort Bliss. luncheon

Major Smith said that an average
altitude OF 5000 feet should be main
tanned, and that an average speed 81
los miles an hour easily could be made
with the twin motored aircraft carry
ing load OF from one and one half to
two tons OF firstclass mail

MAKE OVER HUNDRED
PER CENT ON MEAT
INVES DISCLOSES BIG
PROFITS BY RETAIL DEAL
Frs IN MACON.

MACON, Ga, Aug. 20.-Charges
are made by C. NJ Muse, of the bu-
reau of investigation, who has been
in Macon investigating food prices,
that the retail meat dealers of Ma
con are making more than 100 per
cent. profit on every carcass they
sell. He declared that a carcass
which is bought for $50 brings the
dealer $123.80.
Fifteen or Is cents a pound is
the average cost to the retailer of
the western meat sold on the mark
cts in Macon" the investigator said,
while the average cost of native
meat is much less, about 1212 cents
pound.
Calculating on this as basis it
is safe to assume that under the
prevailing prices in Macon the deal
ers are doubling their investment on
every carcass sold," he declared.
81 learned of one instance where
the head of family in Macon or
dered several pounds of loin steak
for which he was charged As cents

it was found that the dealer paid

the attack which centered about
Shantung, but he met it fairly and
openly. In fact he stood his ground
we'll at all times, except once when
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, plain
ly got the better Of him and had the
president sparring for time. The pres
dent had been insisting that any
amendments or reservations to the
league of nations would require a
resuhmittal of the treaty to Germany.
Senator Fall insisted Germany was
not a member of the league and
would have to accept the amend
ments when she became member.
The president insisted, however, that
as Germany had signed the treaty
containing the league she had con-
sented to the league and was beng
governed by it even without being a
member. Senator Fall then counter
ed with the fact that the covenant
of the league itself provides for
amendments. If these amendments
were made before Germany becomes
member, the senator asserted, they
would not be referred to Germany
for ratification, for she would not be
a member.
Il will admit that the point had
not occurred to me-" said the presi-
dent. "No, she would not be consult
ed"
'Then, so far as we are concern
ed, we could make a recommendation
in the nature of an amendment" per-
sisted Senator Fall.
The PRESIDENT, sitting well back
in his chair at the time, did not an
swer, but Senator Pittman, of Ne
vada, one of the administration lead
ers, rushed into the breach and made
an argument that Germany had sign
ed the treaty and had agreed that
members could amend it. Other dem
ocratic senators chimed in.
Everybody Gathered
Around the Dinner Table.
Senator Johnson fired a parting
question On the subject of Shantung.
He asked the president if it was not
true that the American experts had
that the Japanese plan for
a restitution to China of certain
parts of Shantung meant returning
the shell and keeping the kernel"
Il remember their saying that;
yes sir" said the president.
That's ALL" said Senator John
son.
But I don't agree with them, add
ed the president.
The hearing broke up and lunch
con was served after a senator want
ed to know how the United States
would have Jared under league OF
nations in the war of 1912 and in the
Spanish-American war.
"You can answer that as well I
can," snapped the president.
"And now, gentlemen, will you
join me at luncheon?" he added a
later.
Delighted" said the committee.

FAILED TO SATISFY
OPPONENTS OF TREATY

endeavor to defeat any amendment
of that provision of the treaty on
the ground that such amendment
would not help China in any way,
and would throw the entire treaty in
to the air.
The president will fight for a
straight-out ratification of the treaty
and acceptance of the league of ma
tions without reservations of any
character whatsoever.
He has absolutely no objection to
the senate adopting certain lnterpre-
tations to the treaty and to the cove
nant of the league Immediately al

ed today that putting reservations IN
the resolution of ratification would

Allies Concealed Secret
Pacts From Wilson.
AS frankly as he admitted his dis
appointment over the Shantung set
tlement the president just as openly
admitted that he had heard of none
of the secret agreements among the
allies as to the disposition of terri
tories until some time after he had
reached Paris" He frankly said that
his famous fourteen points had been
framed without any knowledge of the
secret agreements. He sailed forth to
Europe with his fourteen points and
his fine ideals, only to have spread
before him there host of secret ar
rangements of which he had had no
intimation whatsoever, and to which
he ultimately was bound.

gave the president an mixing of their
secret arrangements. Neither Official
Iy nor unofficially was he warned of
the barriers he would find raised
against the very fourteen points the
allies had accepted for basis for the
armistice and the subsequent nego-
tiations.
"Was any investigation ever made
by the United States to find If such
secret treaties existed" the president
was asked.
There was not" he replied, grim
ly. Apparently the white house be-
lieved the allied statements that this
country was being kept 'fully in
formed"
The secret agreements were mann
tanned at the conference table and
we're written into the treaty of peace.

League Treaty Fight to Be-
come Bitterer Than Ever
After Duel of Words Be-
tween Wilson and Senators.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Following
the conference between the president
and the foreign relations committee
of the senate the republican members
of the committee boldly asserted
that they had been confirmed and
justified in the fight they have made
against the treaty and covenant.
The democrats asserted with equal
emphasis that the president had dis
armed the opposition and had made it
impossible for them to delay action
on the treaty much longer.
The republicans say the president
concealed everything that happened
in the so-called council of four,
which secretly arranged the entire
treaty.
The republicans left the white
house after the conference with the
president prepared to redouble their
attack upon the treaty and the league
of nations covenant.
Instead of speeding the ratifica
ton of the treaty, as the president
demanded, the league opponents said
the fight over the treaty would be
prolonged as the result of the discus
sion. The president gave them
no information beyond his own in
depreciation of the treaty, the repub-
lican senators declared, and they
would have to make efforts to secure
the information they want regarding
the negotiation of the treaty else
where before the document will be
ratified.
"We did not get so much informa
ton as we got confirmation" said
Senator Fall, republican, of New
Mexico. His statement was Endorsed
by the other radical republican men,
bers of the committee.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
speaking for the democratic members
of the committee, however, was
greatly pleased with the result of the |
conference. He declared that the
president had cleared the situation,
and had answered all disputed ques-
lions concerning the treaty.
Gave Shantung for
Signature of Japan.
The president was bombarded with
questions regarding Shantung, and it
must be said in all fairness, he left
the decision of the conference in no
better light than it has appeared in
the past.
"You made an attempt to defend |
China's interests at the peace con-
ference?" asked Senator Johnson, of
California.

responded the president.

Secretary Lansing told the COM
mittee last week he believed Japan
would not have refused to sign the |
treaty if Shantung had been denied |
her. His testimony was read to the
president.
"My conclusion is different from
his" said the president.
|You could not have got the sig

CLUB DISCUSSES
THE RAILROADS
Members Of FortnightIy Society
Society Favor Government Own
ership Of Great Carriers

The railroad question was discussed
on Friday evening by members of the
Fortnightly Literary club at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. HI. E. Cole. Two pa
pers were presented, one by G. w.
Andrews, and the other by S. J. Hood.
Mr.. Andrews first stated that due
consideration should be given the rail-
road corporations for the development
of the country, this phase of their
influence having passed before rail-
road regulation commenced. Many
have made fortunes from railroads,
but were these not entitled to make?
Have we not been going through a
period when manufacturers, bankers,
mercantile institutions, farmers and
all, have been making money?
He spoke of the effect Of govern
ment regulation dating from 1887;
many evils being removed.
During recent years there has been
much agitation for government owner
