New York to San Francisco Mail Route.

Within one year airplanc flying en-
daily schedules will shoot United
States mail from New York TO San
Francisco in SO hours. The record
time for New York to Frisco delivery
now is nearly FIVE days. Otto Praeger,
head of the airplane mail system, now
connecting Washington, New York,
Cleveland and Chicago, said govern
ment plans are being prepared by
which airplanes will carry all but ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the millions
of pounds of mail now handled by the
railroads.
"Within 10 years the nations entire
mail-carrying system will be complete
" 'airplane-ized,' said Praeger. "Air-
planes will be used almost exclusively
in collecting and carrying mail from
every big city Of the country. Rail-
roads will carry only local mails over
short distances. Inauguration within
II months of the first New fork-to-
Frisco route will be the first step. The
opening of two more Atlantic-to-'FriS-
co routes will follow soon. The sec
ond step will be opening of north and
south routes, connecting cities on the
Great Lakes with those on the Gulf Of
Mexico. The Mississippi Valley will
be the line of one great north and
south line. The entire country soon
vii be netted by mail planes lanes.
Speeding along at $50 miles an hour,
they will keep nearly all parts of the
country within hourly touch of each
other. The saving to business men
will total millions of dollars yearly.
Airplane mail delivery will be a far
greater aid TO the nations business
than the telegraph or the telephone,
because contracts, checks and other
papers requiring the use OF original
documents can be transported in hours,
where the distances now eat up days"
With this almost-junk equipment,
Praegcr developed a national airplane
mail service that already has clipped
hours from delivery of mail between
New York and Chicago.
Now Praeger is preparing to put in
to commission fleet of giant planes
that will carry 1000 pounds of mail
each at more than 100 miles an hour.
Ordered by the government, these
planes will be the first especially de-
signed air mail wagons" in the world
Queries about them are flooding.
Praegers Office from many govern
ments. Some are sending trained ex-
pcrts to see them in operation.

German Traitors Arrive Here.

A story of the betrayal of the Ger
man high command through the efforts
Of the American military secret service
and of the organization among Ger
man officers of a vendetta aimed at the
lives of the traitors was brought to
light with the arrival at New York last
week of "two German prisoners of war
consigned to the director of military
intelligence, Washington, d. C."
According to information in New
York, the mysterious prisoners who
landed from the Agamemnon under
heavy guard formerly were German
officers of high rank, occupying posi-
tions of great responsibility under Won
Hindenburg. Before the Inauguration
of the American ofrenSives in 1918,
operatives of the American military
intelligence corps prevailed upon them
through inducements, which have not
been divuIged, to deliver plans of the
German general staff covering the pro-
posed movements on the western front,
probable lines of retreat, points at
which stands would he made and other
detailed information of inestimable
value.
With these plans before him, Cen
eral PerShinG was able to lay out his
campaign with great freedom, and il
is believed that result was to cut the
cost of the American advance prac-
tically in half,
The German officers later surren-
dered themselves TO the American
forces. Certain Of their former as
SociateS had become suspicious, how
ever. and arc believed 10 have banded
together TO metc out stern justice. Ut
most precautions were taken even with
in the Allied lines TO protect the in
formers, but as officials believed that
as long as they were kept in France
their lives would be in danger, orders
were given for their transfer 10 this
country.
Preparations for the moving Of the
prisoners were kept close secret and il
was only thoruGh the carelessness OF
some clerk that they were included in
the roster of the Agamemnon when
she left in France.
The plans were to send the prison.
ers TO some isolated army post where
they might be given military Proi"c-
ton for a time. Eventually, il is sup
posed, they would have been permitted
to escape" to some other country
there to begin their lives anew. or
ficials will not say whether this plan
can be asfely followed now.

The Fun of Economizing.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
was talking about economizing.
"We'd all economize," he said, "if it
was pleasanter. | heard two men dis
cussing the subject the other day at
lunch.
"'why do you live in the country?'
the first man said.
$50 as to economize,' the second
answered.
"'Grub cheaper, eh?'
"'No, not much cheaper. | can't
say do much economizing along that
line
allow do you do it, then?'
"'Well, you see, in-the country there
are no theaters to spend money on.
There are no jazz dinners, no opera
and no opera suppers, no taxicabs, and
no distractions or amusements of any
kind. Do you get the idea?'
"'Sure, old man, sure. But here's a
suggestion for you. Couldn't you do a
lot better if you died p"

More than twenty-three hundred
years ago a young Athenian, speaking
Of his wife, said to Socrates: "When !
saw that she had powder on her face
TO make il whittier and rouge to make il
redder and that she wore high-heeled
shoes to appear taller, told her it was
as dishonorable for her to try TO de-
ceive me about her beauty as for me
to try TO deceive her about my prop
erty. added that, although her arts
might impose on others, they could
not impose on me, who saw her at all
times"

Flying in Franklin's Day.
