MAIL SERVICE BY AIR
Postofhce Deparrc mt Says It Has Speeded Delivery
All Over the Country
Se1asd

for its novelty, and the letters car
ried we're unimportant, apparent
ly. At any rate, after a few
months, the sale of airplane stamps
dwindled, as did the mail.
Then the postoffice department
decided to fill the pouches when
possible with ordinary first class
letters. This was continued until
July 18, when the rate for air-
plane postage was reduced from
fifteen cents to two. It is probable
now that this rate will be con-
tinued, for while the service does
not pay for itself the added
facilities in deliveries are regarded
by the postofice department as
worth the price.
When the service was started
the postofice department CO.
operated with the war department,
which supplied the airplanes and
the aviators. This arrangement
had been suggested by the chief
signal officer of the army, who
saw in the project an additional
means of training aviators for the
western front.
Army participation continued
until last November, when it was
agreed for the sake of efficiency
that the entire project should be
taken over by the postoffice de-
partment.
For this reason the service now
is entirely in the hands of the post
Office department and the aviators
are of civilian status. However,
the pilots now engaged in the
work have come largely from the
army, being officers discharged
from the service at the end of the
war.
The type of airplane used is the
ordinary Curtiss machine, but the
postofice department is preparing
and, if congress provides the
funds, will soon put especially
built airplanes at work.
These new airplanes are de-
signed primarily for carrying
mail, stabilized automatically, so
that there is no danger of crash.
In this regard they will be differ
ent from the army type machine,
in which ability to maneuver
rapidly is an element of safety.

mail along the eastern seaboard
and from New York city west are
being established daily by the air
plane mail service which now is
we'll along toward its fifteenth
month of existence. The service,
according to Otto Praeger, second
assistant postmaster general, who
is in charge. has speeded mail
delivery all over the country.
Letters mailed in New York city
or arriving there from New Eng
land before eight o'clock in the
morning are sent by airplane so
far as possible, insuring their
delivery in Washington by noon.
Those for Washington are sent out
on the first mail delivery in the
afternoon and those intended for
cities farther south are forwarded
in earlier trains than otherwise
would be possible.
The same is true of the New
York Chicago airplane mail route.
The time from New York to Chi.
cago is cut down to between nine
and ten hours. There is a cores
ponding saving on mail from Chi
cago and western cities intended
for New York.
There are two airplane mail
routes in the country, one between
Washington and New York city
ane the other between New York
city and Chicago by way of Cleve-
land.
Flights are made in both direc-
tions over these routes every day,
with such success that the post
Office department is about to insti-
tute other routes which will link
up Omaha, Neb., and St. Louis,
Mo. These latter routes are to be
opened almost Immediately, to
care for the volume of mail and to
assist in quick deliveries to and
from the Pacific coast.
Airplane mail service started on
May Is, 1918, largely as an exper-
iment, with route between New
York city and Washington. Two
trips day had been arranged, one
in each direction. The first fight
from Washington was a spectacu-
lar affair in which President Will
son and other officials figured
prominently, and sent letters just
before the aviator started. Since
that time the service has continued
without interruption.
Postage for airplane mail at the
time was fixed at fifteen cents an
ounce, the postofice department
figuring that speedy delivery made
that price fair. In addition to be-
ing carried by airplane the letter
was to be specially delivered which
ordinarily costs ten cents in addi-
tion to letter postage.
Airplane mail service continued
on q paying basis for a time, until
the novelty wore off. Many per-
sons at first used the airplane mail

Agg ly enough to pay the en-
tire cost of running the American
government from 1871 up to the
outbreak of the European war.
For every hundred American SOL
diers and sailors who served in the
war with Germany two we're killed
or died of disease during the
period of hostilities. The number
of men serving in the armed forces
of the nation during the war was
100000, of whom 1000, 900
served in the army.
These facts are set forth in sta
tistical summary of The War
With Germany" compiled under
the direction of Col. Leonard P.
Ayers, chief of the statistics
branch of the general staff of the
army.
This summary, just published
by Colonel Ayers by direction of
the secretary of war, is a complete
review of Americas participation
in the war against Germany con-
densed into less than $50 pages.
1t is detailed summary of Ameri-
can military operations, and yet
the long statistical tables usually
found in official reports are entire
ly lacking.
Col. Leonard P. Ayers is the
only officer from civilian life who
has risen to the position of chief
of a division of the general staff.
Before the war he was a director
of the Russell Sage Foundation.
He was chief statistical officer of
the peace committee. After his re-
turn here he received the distin-
guished service medal.
Some of the statistical sum-
maries in the report show:
The war cost the United States
considerably more than 81, 900, 900
an hour for over two years.
Americas expenditures in the
war were sufficient to have carried
on the Revolutionary war con-
tinuously for more than thou
sand years at the rate of expendi-
ture which that war actually in
volved.
During the first three months
expenditures were at the rate of
$2,000,000 a day. During the
next year they averaged more than
$22, 100000 day. For the final
ten months the daily average was
over S44, 900, 900.
The total war costs of all nations
were about $1S6, 600, 100000, of
which the allies and the United
States spent two-thirds and the
enemy one-third.
The three nations spending the
greatest amounts were Germany,
Great Britain and France, IN that
order. After them come the
United States and Austria Hun
gary, with substantially equal ex-
penditures.
The United States spent one
eighth of the entire cost Of the
war aud something less than one
fifth of the expenditures of the
allied side.
The total battle deaths of all ma
tions in this war we're greater than
all deaths in all the wars in the
previous hundred years.
Russian battle deaths were "a
times as heavy as those of the
United States. those of Germany
80 times as great. France % times
and the British Is times as large.
In the American army the
casualty rate in the infantry was
higher than in any other service,
and that for officers was higher
than for men.
For every man killed in battle
seven were wounded.
Five out of every six men sent
to hospitals on account of wounds

Autunln's Sunset

Thou golden orb Of Autumn's hazy days.
That sinks to rest beneath the veil of night,
Thy ustrous beauty sets the world aglow,
Ere thou hast vanished with thy ruby light
The quivering beams are dancing on the stream,
That ripples down the rugged mountain side;
While far-off peaks display thy beacon bright,
Rejecting rays on fast receding tide
We see thy kiss on distant silvery clouds,
That idly sail like shipsscn quiet seas,
And rustiDg leaves display their finest tints
When touched with parting halos, 'mong the trees.
May sunset cheer be with US at the last,
When life shall set behind those mystic clouds
To rise again more beauteous than before,
Triumphant from the darkness that enshrouds.

NESS2SSH OranC, - q or m an nd
lG1eNl Sheridan, three great
lA-Al leaders in the civil war,
Gen. John J. Pershing, the COM
mander-in- chief of our armies in
Europe, finds himself on his return
home, after a little more than two
years spent on foreign soil. The
act of Congress in bestowing upon
him the rank and pay of general of
the armies is one which the whole
nation approves. He faced a mon
umental task when he landed in
France in June, 1917. How that
task was accomplished will some
day be written in detail. Its salient
features stand out in the battles of
the Marne, St. Mihiel and the
Meuse-Argonne. where American
military genius wrote an imper-
ishable record. And now the vic
tor returns home to be acclaimed
by the nation, whose might and
honor he upheld on the battlefield.
If Gen. Pershing's parents had
decided on the day of his birth to
train him as a soldier they could
not have planned better. His
father was Missouri section fore
man, and in the stratum of life to
which young Pershing belonged as
a STRIPPING be received no undue
coddling, but was allowed to grow
a rugged boy with all the bare
foot, swimmin' hole" and play
privileges of the ordinary country
lad. When he was old enough he
went on the farm and there laid
the foundation for the marvellous
physique which at his present age
has been the comment of Euro
pean military circles, writes Will
bur Forrest in the New York
World.
Pershing left the farm at the
age of %. In this sehoolroom
work he led his classmates. Later
he taught school, but being force
fully ambitious, he entered CON-
petitive examination for West
Point and won. During his entire
career at the Military Academy he
won in things military. He was a
first captain, the highest military
honor that can be had among
cadets. He was also accorded the
highest personal honor in his
class, that of class president, and
he remains today president of the
West Point class of '86.
The first 10 years of Pershing's
military life were spent on the
western plains. Living in dreary
army posts, fighting and pacifying
Indians, he attracted considerable
attention as a 'sshave tail' or
second lieutenant. He handled
his platoon of cavalry when argu-
ment failed. But, with diplomatic
argument wherever possible,
among the redskins he settled
many a problem and saved many
an American life. From the west
he went to the University of
Nebraska and while acting as mill
tary instructor there he took a law
course, eventually being graduated
a full-fedged lawyer. From
Nebraska he went to West Point
to act as instructor in tactics.
About that time the Spanish
American war broke out. He
asked for permission to rejoin his
regiment Tenth Cavalry and ac-
company it to Cuba.
From Cuba he went to the
Philippines for a time and then to
Washington, where he was the
first to organize Bureau of Insu-
lar Affairs. Then he returned to
the Philippines in command of
troops in Mindanao. Here, as on
the western plains, he argued with
the hostile natives until diplomacy
failed and in that event admins
tered the chastisement they needed.
Pershing remained in the Philip
:
