PEACE BULLETINS

Refusal Of Senator Norris, Of Ne

vide a clew to the Republican policy
toward the covenant An effort will be
made, it is thought, to discard the
present covenant and build league

gestions
Two German soldiers said to have

eral Pershing arrived here as prison

The remaining sections of the Aus
trian peace treaty were presented to
the delegation at ST. Germain with q
note giving the members Is days to
present written observations. Aus
tria's army must be reduced to 10000
men and she must give up fifth of her
river feet and restore stolen treasures.
Austria is assured that the repara-
tions committee will "bear in mind the
diminutions Of Austria's resources and
capacity of payment resulting from
the treaty."
1t is indicated that the policy OF
the Republicans will be to listen to
the President with respect but not to
swerve in their determination to adopt
notifications of the league unless de-
finite information Is given that would
warrant them in accepting the cove.
rant They do not expect to receive
such definite information.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD
May Settle Bridge Cases.

Hagerstown.-It is reported that the
case Of the Pennsylvania Steel Com.
pany against the Washington and
Berkeley Bridge Company, Williams
port, involving many thousands OF
dollars, and which have been on the
dockets of several courts for the last
1--WE or six years, may be settled out
of court in view Of the proposition o.
the States of Maryland and West Vir-
ginia to purchase the defendants s
bridge across the Potomac River at
Williamspor. along with the bridges
at Hancock, Harper's Ferry and Shep-
herdstown.
The suits grew out Of the collapse
Of part of the Williamsport bridge
when it was being constructed about
eight years ago. Several persons were
killed and others were seriously in
iured. The Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany had the contract for the steel
work on the bridge. The cases have
been tried three times before Judge
Dayton, of the Federal Court. A petit
ton is now pending in the Federal
Court of Appeals asking that another
Judge sit in the next trial of the case.

LETTERS BY AIR
MAIL z CENTS NOW
BurIeson Cuts Plane Rate to
First Class Postal Matter
Level.
SPECIAL STAMP GIVEN UP.
Big Extension of Flying Service Pre-
dicted-Letters Which Miss Train
Connections Will Go BY
Airplane.

Washington. Postmaster General
Burleson reduced the postage rate on
airplane mail to two cents an ounce,
the regular rate for first class mail
matter, and placed the air mail sery-
ice on the same footing with all other
means Of mail transportation.
The effect of the order, Otto Praeger,
Second Assistant Postmaster-General
explained, is to put all first class mail
on the same basis and the question OF
time in mailing will determine
whether or not a letter will go by air
plane instead Of by train. Letters IN
transit which miss train connections
will be forwarded by airplane to make
up for lost time.
1t was stated that there was no guar
antee under the new arrangement that
il letter would go by airplane, but that
persons might go to post office stations
where airplane mail sacks were made
up and request that their letters be
put in these sacks.
Special airplane stamps will be
abandoned and letters need not be
marked via air post"
Postmaster-Genera Burleson, in
making his announcement, said:
1.-The successful operation of the oil
mail for more than one year and the
great development for commercial
work in the airplane in that period
have taken this phase Of mail trans
portation entirely out of the class OF
experimental work. The great saving
of time now effected over the fastest
railroad train between New York and
Chicago will enable the department to
make a saving in car space of more
than twice the cost of the operation OF
an air mail service on that route. II
will therefore no longer be necessary tC
charge more than the regular rate ot
postage for the transmission Of air.
plane mail
"The success of the airship in carry
ing the mail, together with the great
development that has taken place in
speed, in quantity of mail that can be
carried and in certainty of operation
makes it improbable that the air trans,
portation Of mail, whether by the gov
ernment or commercial air transporta,
ton lines, will ever be stopped, but
will increase from year to year by
leaps and bounds, especially over long
distances. The great expedition OF
mail by this means of transportation
constitutes a service which the public
throughout the country is now
demanding, and in course Of time will
receive, as supplementing the train
service"
