Air Mail Service Nothing
New, England Says
BIZ The Associated rress.

on 1H0 ASSCCtuttu lTCSS.
LONDON. Oct. Use of aerial
mail service in the recent railroad
strike in Great Britain called atten-
ton to the fact that transport of mails
by air is close upon q half century
old. The first aerial posts on record
were those conveyed by balloons out
of beleaguered Paris in September,
1870. Ten years later the British ad-
miralty conducted a series of tests to
ascertain the practicability of utiliZ-
ing balloons on an extensive scale
for the carrying of mails, but these
tests resulted in nothing of import
ance.
India was the scene of the first
experiment in the conveyance Of
mails by heavier-than-air machines.
1t consisted of the carrying of some
5000 letters by a British pilot in a
biplane a distance of one mile at
Allahabad in 1911.
Later in the same year the same pi-
lot carried the first United Kingdom
aerial post inaugurated between Lon
don and Windsor. The first long dis
lance postal flight also occurred in
1911, when a French aviator carried
a quantity of letters from Issy-les-
Molineux to Deauville-112 miles.
The world war put the %airplane to
the final test as an aid to postal com
munication. In May, 1917, Italy es-
tablished an air post service between
Rome and Turin designed to relieve
congestion on state railways caused
by the transport Of troops and war
material. A seaplane post from Ma
pies to Palermo followed to avoid the
submarine menace, which interrupted
the regular boat service.
The United States created the first
regular daily air post connecting New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
on May 10, 1918.

Better Commercial Interests
Between u. S. and Norway
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correapondence.)
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 5.-There are
abundant signs everywhere of the de-
yelopment of broader commercial re-
l~ationships of every kind between Nor
way and the United States, according
to Marion Letcher, American consul
general. In q statement concerning
the Norwegian-Ame rican Exhibition
here Mr.. Letcher, said:
Previous to 1914 our trade with
Norway was exceedingly light, but
now Notwithstanding the long and ex-
pensive freight haul American COM
modities are almost as common in
Christiania as in New York. A num-
Der of Norway's enterprising young
men have gone over to my country
during the last several months to
study these conditions at first hand
and to form connections there.
This exhibition, which Is confined
practically to goods to be displayed by
Norwegian representatives of Amer
lean firms. will emphasize the value
of doing business through direct Nor
wegian representation rather than
Through distributing agencies locat-
ed in other countries and l am sin
cerely hopeful that American business
men will not fail to see the force of
this lesson.
up to the present the trade that
has sprung up between the two coun-
tries has been largely fortuitous
American business men will be wis
to understand this and prepare for
more permanent relationship through
fixed local representatives"

WILSON WILL
ADVISE ACTION
Democrats TO Secure His Views
on Peace Treaty Rejection

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-The po-
sition of the peaces treaty today is
such that the time has come for the
President to Indicate how far he de-
sires Senate Democrats to go in Vot-
ing to reject the treaty if the fnal
reservations are pronounced impos-
sible of acceptance. Senator Hitch
cock is expected to confer with the
President today or tomorrow at the
latest if the Presidents health will
permit.
Senator Lodge has indicated how
he expects to drive the treaty
through with his hamstrinGins reser-
vations in these words:
II have always believed the treaty
will be ratified with reservations. If
they are voted down by friends of
the treaty, the treaty wilt be in grave
danger"
He meant If the Democrats voted
against it, and thus prevented ratih-
cation of the covenant, he would Ere-
vent any reconsideration that would
permit the submission of a substitute,
and so destroy the treaty forever.
vote for my treaty, or there1l be
no treaty." is a free translation Of
Lodges position.
The effort of the Democrats to OBJ
tain an agreement that If the major
ity report of the Foreign Relations
Committee, carrying the ratliylng
resolution, failed to get a two-thirds
vote, opportunity would be afforded
to introduce the minority report, &C
cupied the Senat all the afternoon.
The strategy of the situation is
simple. The Republicans want to
avoid, so far as possible, responsible.
ity to the voters for having defeated
the treaty. Hence the determination
to make the Democrats vote it Down
! or accept the mutilated thing. If the
Democrats are permitted in turn to
offer a ratifying resolution, the Re-
publicans would have to come out in
the open.

Reds and Indians to Have
Same Lineups Next Year

Pat Moran and iris Speaker ear
go ahead and enjoy the winter lea
que a without worrying about
the future. Both managers will likely
stand pat on their 1918 lineups for the
1920 races. And a lot of fans and
other baseball men are expecting the
Reds and Indians to fight it out in
the big series next fall.
All the way through Moran's team
looks good. 1t is a winning combina-
ton that showed lots of fight and team
work for the 1919 season and why
should Moran experiment with
changes for 1920? None of his men
is so old that a crack in the team is
feared.
At Cleveland iris Speaker has a
corking good catching staff, a fast and
steady infield and an out1eld that
ranks well with any other in the game.
There Is only n department that may
see a change-the pitching STAFF.
There are too many on the saff now
and some may be dropped, Speaker
also may procure q good left-hander
before the start of the 1920 grind.

SaIOOnkeepers on Strike

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 4.-Saloon-

fad o gaining such wide popularity
in other cities. They went on a strike.

look at it, according to Thomas VIII
liams, their president in an interview
after the meeting:
1.-THE majority of us concluded that
there is no profit in selling near beer.
We find it is most unsatisfactory to
our patrons. If the Householder Is
open he is selling something besides
this peerless beer the law permits us
to pass over the bar. Saloons Will Sell
near Deer as a mere camouhage to en-
able them to supply something else

RATIFICATION
To LIFT DRY BAN
President POWeTIeSS to Act as
Law is Automatic

WASHINGTON, Nov. At was
again asserted today at the White
House n at the Department of JUS
tice that the President cannot legally
lift the ban on liquor making and
selling.
If the Senate adopts a German
peace treaty ratification resolution
that the President will approve and
the Allied Nations accept peace, the
rehabilitation of the army be pro-
claimed. the War Prohibition Act
will automatically expire. 1t was
pointed out that the law plainly
took all responsibility for war Pro
htpition off the President by provid-
Ing that the law shall be operative
until the conclusion of the present
war and thereafter until the termina-
which shall be determined and pro-
claimed by the President.
Government officials were interested
also in a New York report that the
Prohibition restriction would soon be-
lifted to save the whiskey loans of
certain banks mat hold large guam
titles of warehouse certificates, but
they know of no foundation for it. 1t
was explained that the President will
not mention Prohibition in his peace
proclamation. The law was not of his
making, n he can have no part in
its death further than to declare
peace.
g. The reported jubliation of the vets
and the bankers who have been
financing them is thought to come
from the belief that the President
will lot wait for the declaration of
peace until the treaty with Austria is
ratified: that the German peace treaty
ratification will be considered the end
of the present war; and a proclama-
ton to hat effect will be issued. The
Anti-Saloon League contends hat the
present war" includes Austria and
the War Prohibition Act will con-
tinue in effect until a treaty with that
country Is ratified.
1t is held by those who would close
the period of wartime prohibition as
soon as possible that it never was in
tended that the law should be opera
tive after the army was demobilized.
The debates in the Senate and House
on the bill before a final agreement
was reached, they argue, show that
In a letter to Senator Sheppard at
that time the officers of the Anti
Saloon League said: I'VE feel also
that ample provision should be made
for continuing prohibition during the
period of rehabilitation, which may
be quite as important as during act
ual hoStilitieS."

There are well defined rules as to
the assumption of territorial titles.

to a new peer taking his title from
a place over which the former has
rights" Lord Fisher. for example,

Norfolk manor belonged to w. d.

70 be Lord Glencoe. but the rights OF
