AIR PASSENGER
SERVICE COMING
This Together With Freight Service
Be Inaugurated Between Prin-
cip.e Cities England.
A Associated Press

LONDON, March 29-Just as soor
as aircraft regulations have been def
initely arranged by the Peace Con-
ference, an arplane passenger and
freight service will be inaugurated
between the principal cities of Eng
land and the continent, it is announc-
ed. 1t will be an experiment only in
scfar as the Whims of the public are
concerned, as the fifteen machines to
be used all saw more trying service
in night bombing work during the lat
ter months of the war.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the promoters that the project will
be popular at first among those who
enjoy adventure and are not hamp-
cred by lack of fund but, in making
the announcement of the new service.
F. Handley Page said that his COM
pany wanted to put the service purely
on a business basis and that charges
would not be out of reach of the av-
erage merchant who might want
goods transported quickly or make
quick trips in Europe.
Announcement of the plans made
simultaneously with the first public
exhibition of passenger carrying
airplane in London. The plane is one
of the night bombers with the fusel-
age to accommodate seventeen pas
sengers. 1t saw service over German
cities but appeared much different on
exhibition. Huge glass windows had
been cut into the sides of the fuselage
showing the saloon fitted with heav-
lily upholstered leather chairs lined
on each side of the carriage with a
narrow isle between. Space is pro-
vided for sixteen passengers inside.
The Seventeenth one sits outside in
the very bow" of the machine in the
seat formerly occupied by a gunner.
The machine has a lifting capacity
of six and one half tons exclusive of
it's own weight, is fitted with four
motors, two tractors and two push
ers, md travels at an average speed
of 100 miles an hour.
The company which will operate
the service already has laid its plans
for getting business and for feed
er" services tapping it's main lines of
travel. E. ]. Bray, formerly Europ-
can traffic representative of the Nat
ional Railway of Mexico, has become
traffic manager of the Handley Pare
Ltd. and is at work on purely the
traffic end of the enterprise.
Those interested in the project point
out that as far as the machines are
concerned this is not an experiment
and maintain that it is the most am
bilious plan yet conceived for COM
mercial use of the airplane. No es-
pecial effort will be made to get
great speed but every effort will be
made, as the service increases to
construct larger machines which will
give passengers greater east and free
dom and will be capable of carrying
several tons of freight.

Consume Much More This

Washington, Jan. 22.---How $780,
100000 was spent in the first year of
government operation of railroads
Was sxpla,tersfm ,ny ratnerss dnr
Tnifistfator Walker b. Hines The
necessity for a large additional appre-
priatioa. was pointed out. Mr.. Hines
declared that the $500, 100000 was
not lost to the government and would
ultimately be returned when the roads
were returned to private control Mr..
Hines said:
I'm view of the constant discussion
OF the railroad problem which natur-
ally Is now going on because of the
pendency OF the issue before congress
and since a great deal Of stress is be-
ing laid upon the financial condition
of the carriers, il should be helpful
to comprehend some outstanding facts
regarding the so-called revolving
fund of $500. 900 900 appropriated by
congress.
THE mere fact OF taking over the
railroads as going concerns involved
the temporary absorption of about
$40. 100000 OF the governments
money 1t must also be remem bered
that 1t has been the policy of the
government that the railroad admins
tration shah finance temporarily a
large part of the permanent improve
ments which have been made ana
which still must be made by the rail-
roads during federal control. The
amount required for these purposes
promises to be several hundred mill
lion dollars, which ikewisc viii uit-
mately he returned to the govern
ment 1t is evident, therefore. that
the absorption of the original $500
900, 900 appropriation and the making
Of very large additional appropria-
ton will be needed far these essential
purposes entirely apart from any
question of losses which were incurred
in operation during the war condi-
