Burleson Replies to
Steenerson's Charge
About P. 0. Report

Washington. Dec. s-Postmaster
General Burleson, replying to state
ment by Chairman Steenerson. of the
House Post Office Committee. attack
ing Mr.. Burlesons annual report. said
Mr.. Steenerson docs not seem to un"
derstand that a postal audit is not
made by the Postmaster General, but
by an independent official of the
Treasury Department, who happens TO
be member of the Republican party,
to which Mr.. Steenerson belongs.
'It is true, as stated by Mr.. .Steen-
crson, that the Postmaster General
did not utilize the services of the Of
fcials of one particular telegraph
company" the statement continued,
but this was only after he had found
that while America was involved In
the world war its directing officials
had not only proposed to boycott the
handling of press matter, but had in
every way. possible discouraged the
handling OF government business.
LAS for the compensation allowed
the railroads for mail transportation,
this is fixed by the Congress and not
by the Postmaster General.

Sensational Claims of
Air Victories by Marine
Results in Dismissal
BIZ Associated Press

Washington, Tee. S.-Sentence of
dismissal imposed by naval court
martial on Captain Edmund George
Chamberlain, an aviator in the ma
rine corps on charges growing out
of his sensational claims of having
defeated q vastly superior force of
German airships on the western
front, was approved to-day by Sec
retary Daniels.
Chamberlain is a native of San An
tonic, Texas. His case became one
of unusual interest to the service
and officials of the Navy Depart
ment and Marine Corps were sent
overseas to investigate every point
involved.
Chamberlain claimed that on July
2S, 1918,~on a trip over the British
front, he had fought with twelve
German planes, destroyed five of
them, damaged two others and
sweeping earthward. with a dam
aged machine, scattered a detach-
ment of German soldiers. He said
that after landing he took a German
prisoner by pretending that COM
pass was a bomb. and then carried
q wounded French officer back to
safety.
Denial of the exploit by British Of
ficers led to an investigation. Cham
berlain contended that the failure
of the British flyers to corroborate
his story was because the admission
that an American officer had used a
British machine would have resulted
in their court-martial. Witnesses in
Chamberlain's behalf testified that
he had landed in a British plane on
the date mentioned IN his official re-
port.
Cham mberlain's case now goes to
President Wilson for final decision.

BRAZIL is K UP

Brazil has been able to export to
Europe foodstuffs which a few years
ago she was not able to supply to
herself. In the same way animal hus-
bandry is making strides which point
to making meat products one Of the
country's chief exports. While Bra
I'll has always been a cattle produc-
ing country, 1t is only during the last
three or four years that she has been
looked upon as a world supplier. More
recently several large modern pack
ing houses have been constructed or
projected. These are financed princi-
pally by American packing interests.
In the last year the federal govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, has devoted considerable atten-
ton to the importation and purchase
of animals of pure blood. 1t is pro.
posed to carry on an extensive educa-
tional campaign among the live stock
breeders Of Brazil to improve the
standard of cattle. For this purpose
the government intends to make lib
eral money appropriations.

FOKKER DEVISED
RADIO AIRPLANE

through the air by means Of explosives.
Their idea was to put all their ex-
plosives into the shells, and then move
the shells to their destination by pc
troll power. They had really lost faith
in the S of big guns.
"0f course, each one Of these air
planes with its engine would be blown
up when the bomb exploded. The
whole thing was not much more ex-
pensive than firing long-range shells,
and 1t would be far more sure and
more deadly.
War Office BungIed.
"My plans were accepted by the
authorities and then the war office
made their great mistake. They de-
cided to make the airplane Itself. The
war Office bungled along with the
manufacture of planes for many
months, and when they had finally
turned out a few machines they found
that they could not be depended on.
"In the summer of 1918 they came
to me and gave me a huge order for
the wireless-steered ~airplanes. / had
just got ready to manufacture them in
wholesale quantities when the end Of
the war came"

LONDON SHUNS SKYSCRApER
American Architects Get No Encour'
agement to Extend Building to
Great Height.

London.-The old question Of
whether or not London is to have sky
scrapers is being revived because Of
the high price of property in the bust.
ness section and the lack Of space in
Office buildings. Generally speaking,
London does not like tall buildings.
Percy Tubbs, past president of the
Society Of Architects, declared that II
the skyscraper was to come it would
be necessary to widen the streets.
space in London, however, is not
so scarce as 1t is in New York, which
is an island" he said.
American architects who are here
erecting a huge apartment store have
repeatedly asked permission to extend
the main building high enough to &C
commodate not only the present bust
ness of the concern, but to provide for
the future, aud have met with no en-
cnnragement.
