WASHINGTON, May l6.Thc air mail
service between Washington, Philadelphia
and New York has been in operation one
year yesterday This year OF carrying mail
through the air is less significant for what
has actually been done than as furnish
future.
The two airplanes which started year |
ago are in the. service today and are pro- |
PEELED by the same motors One has been

and has carried 4s5.i20 letters 1t has

TO this machine have cost Sl,S74.76.
The record OF the entire service between
New York and Washington shows 81 per
cent of performance during the entire
year. representing l2S,037 miles travelled
and 7,120,S40 letters carried. The reven-
ues from airplane mail stamps amounted

From the Inauguration OF the service
until the 10Th OF August, the flying OPP
erations were conducted by the army
in connection with its work of training
aviators for the war Since Aug 10 it
has been operated entirely by the post
office department.
The service has been maintained
throughout the year With record OF

; and. heavy snowstorns being encountered
and overcome. Out OF 1861 possible trips,
], 206 were undertaken. and only IS were
defaulted on account of weather condi-

l2S.037 miles We're flown. Only 81 forced
'landings were made on account Of wealth
or and 81 On account OF motor trouble.
