found their place in this great mass

Much of the mail was passed with

fee. rice, tobacco, sugar. and SO on.
Some even contained rubber hiddtn be-
tween the pages of the papers.
The most-sOught-after evidence was
that of military character, and the
censorship of mails more than repaid
its expensive outlay In detecting in
formation that might have wrought
havoc with allied arms, or at least
helped Germany In no uncertain de-
gree. There is little doubt that none
of that character of information which
the censorship obtained will be made
public, but officials directing Britain's
war machines have not been slow to say
that thanks to the postal censorship
much valuable military information, of
every conceivable character, came to
their attention.
Propaganda was the greatest and
most constant effort of the Germans.
The most harmless appearing sets of
newspapers and magazines, some of
them with covers dated before the
war, dispatched from neutral nations
to individuals or societies, such as SCI
entific organizations, were often found
to contain the latest German accusa-
tions of British mismanagement in
Egypt, India or Ireland. Books, not al
ways In German, were found to con-
tain everything except what the title
proclaimed. The postal censorship to-
day possesses an intensely interesting
museum of many of the propaganda
carriers the Germans sent out, or
caused to be sent out from their agents
in neutral countries.

In August, 1910, the first wireless
transmission from airplanes was made.
In the years following the development
Of the airplane radio was carried on
through series of accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows:

Voice Orders

miles Of distance; radio messages
transmitted between airplanes in
flight; airplane radio telephone con-
structed.
l917-The human voice transmitted
by radio telephone from airplane to
ground.
Talk Thousands Of Miles.
Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development Of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use by
engineers of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culmi-
mated in a successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Airing
ton to stations thousands Of miles
away.
In May, 1917, steps were taken to
combine the experience of the engi-
neers and of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later the airplane tele-
phone was fact, and in October, 1917,
long-range test was made. Tele-
phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in flight up to 25
miles apart and from airplane to
ground up to distance of As miles.
The development Of voice command
ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst-
ner field, La., in May, 1918. On June 1
an aerial review was given by an air
fleet of two squadrons of IS planes
each, followed by close order drill
by section of six airplanes.
Throughout the review and the drill
command was exercised by the voice
of the commander flying with the fleet.
In September following, voice COM
manded flying was instituted at sew.
eral other fields.
Avoids Many Accidents.
By using the airplane radio tele-
phone in instructing aviators in aerial
gunnery it was found possible to reach
the same efficiency with saving of
one-third of the time BY exercising
control over pilots in the air, accidents
We're practically eliminated.
At the signing of the armistice, de-
yelopment and training in voice COM
manded flying was well under way.
Numerous demonstrations were held
during November and December and a
fleet Of 2O4 airplanes was unanswered
in the air at San Diego by voice COM
mand.
In the practical application of the
airplane radio telephone to airplanes,
over G,00O flights have been made with
this apparatus in this country. In the
last 1000 flights there have been only
"A cases of airplane trouble and only
25 cases of radio trouble.
Shipments of the apparatus to
France in quantities began August and
September, 1918, and of trained air
service radio personnel in October.
Had the war continued the voice COM
manded military air unit would un.
doubtedly have made itself felt.
