BIG AIR SERVICE
 PLANNED D

LONDON, Oct. 30 The propose I.iverpool-Australia and Liverpool New York air service will be an enor- nous undertaking. The problem or supplying the necessary dirigib!c air ships is but one of the items to be con sidered. They cost about $&,750.C9C each to construct. At least six oi these huge craft will be necessary to maintain these two services with any degree of regularity. There are also to be considered the problems of suit able landing grounds and mooring- posts; the intention of the Great Nor thern Aerial Syndicate being that ac'- odromes will be provided at the more important stations while moorirg posts will serve as second class stops of halts.
 Aerodromcs for dirigiblcS are TO quircd only at every 2,OOO miles and it is now possible for an airship to be moored to or released from a mooring tower in any wind up to 60 miles an hour; yet tho total financial backin" considered necessary for such an un- dertaking is in the neighborhood Of S1O,OOO,OOO.
 The mooring out station for air ships which is in the form of hign tower enclosing an elevator shaft by which passengers and cargo will be taken up and down from the ground is over 150 feet high With a revolving head the airllip can be rigidly at tached to this tower by the nose, vii, ride clear Of the ground in all weath- CTS, and be able to swing with the di- rection of the wind
 Each of these towers will be provid- ed with hauling in winch and rope by which the airship will be hauled up the mooring post; also a supply base Of hydrogen. fuel, and water ballast.

SEATTLE, Oct, 30 A special dis hatch to the Seattle PoSt-Intelhgencer from Washington, says the House ap- propriations committee, through lead CTS Cannon and Good, assisted by Mondell, cut the Alaska railroad ap- propriation to S6,OOO,OOO because Con- gress plans to hold those in charge Of the railroad to more strict account ability.
 The dispatch says the management of the railroad in Alaska is under a cloud of distruSt in Congress. Appro- priation committeeman say unbridled extravaganza would have resulted it Congress appropriated the entire sev- enteen million dollars.
 The special says that when the railroad bill was before the Senate, Senators conferred with Secretary of the Interior Lane regarding the gen eral criticism which came from Alaska like a deluge, regarding the commits Sion'S policies and extravaganceS.
 At the time. the Senators stated Secretary Lane promised to clean house in the management of the rail road.
 Now the House committeeman charge Secretary Lane with bad faith as h." has only shifted the officers.
 The dispatch says most of the crit icism is laid to the inexperience of Col. Mears. Lane said Mears formerly had charge of the operations of all the American railroads in France. The special dispatch says an investigation at the War Department office shows he did not hold such a position as he arrived in France only a few months before the armiStice was signed.

TAKES THE IRISH LADS
 TO SLIP IT AWAY OVER

LONDON, Oct, 30 A story of how one Irish pouthecn maker, as they call moonshiners in Ireland, managed for a long time to escape detection is so good that it is being told all over the country.
 The English revenue officers had detected so many stills by the smoke arising from the fires that the man in question, who occupied house ad- joining, connected his flue with the chimney of the bargacks of the Royal Irish Constabulary and his distillery remained undetected until someone be- trayed him.

Records given out in Seward dis prove the last contention in the above dispatch. Col. MearS was in France for months and did have charge of the American railroads in that coun- try, according to what is known here. Col. Mears letters from General Per shing regarding his competency in handling the railroad situation in France, shows that he must have been in charge of the railroad long before the armiStice was even thought of.
 Regarding the extravaganza of tho commission, under former Chairman Edes, there is no doubt, if only the one instance is sighted, that of spend ing several millions of dollars alone in shipping freight to the interior to start the railroad from the wrong end. But this is now ancient history and should be forgotten.
 During the few months Col. MearS has been in charge, it shows that he can do something and is doing it. He
