Wilson to Wales Only
Air Missive Astray

OF all the various letters car
ried by sixty odd fliers be-
tween New York and Toronto
during the last two days, only one
seems to have gone amiss. That
is the letter from President Will
son to the Prince of Wales. In
Capt. j. M. Foote'S L. w. F.
SHARK" it was blown by storm
onto a mountain farm near Bing-
hamton on Monday night and the
Flying Club has heard nothing of
it since.
The letter was described as the
Presidential invitation for the
Prince of Wales to visit the
United States.
Both Mayor Hylan and the
American Flying Club, due to the
disrespectful storm in the Helder-
bergs, get their invitations to the
Prince first. Both reached
Toronto to-day and were de-
livered.
Though many letters were also
delivered at Roosevelt Field, none
of them, so far as could be
learned, were from the Prince
of Wales. One was from Sir
Robert Borden, Premier of
Canada, to President Wilson.

PARIS. Aug 26.-It was a strange and
expectant group of passengers that
boarded the first London-Paris air
train yesterday morning with your
correspondent. With one exception
none had travelled by air before. and
they experienced all the novelty and
excitement Of a first trip and all the
sense OF participation in an epoch
making event.
Their objects in leaving London for
Paris by air were various. One man of
business wished to complete finan-
cial transaction of great importance
in Paris and return to dine with a
business acquaintance In London.
"The day will come" he said. when
London will be city OF commerce for
us. We will complete our transac-
tions in London by day and seek
pleasure in Paris at night. At in the
1 will be able to leave London and at
1880 dine in the best restaurant in
Paris"
The fact that another passenger had
for last night which a friend had sent
him showed how easy the business mans
idea was capable of fulfllment
II am carrying securities with me-"
said the business man, land II is OBJ
vious financiers generally will send se-
curities by airplane. this resulting in
big financial deals in record time"
Another passenger was fashion ex-
pert. endeavoring to OUTRAGE rivals by
getting fall styles to America ahead of
others. while still another passenger was
merely on pleasure bent, more interested
in the silk socks OF Paris than in gilt
edged securities.
As We left London we climbed 1000
feet. The pilot handed us written
note 81 will cross at Boulogne" Soon
the channel was in sight. and then the
white cliffs of Dover were in the rear
We were over the sea, looking down
upon ships OF all kinds. In three min
utes the coast of France appeared in
view. 1t was the smoothest passage
over the channel ever experienced
The airplane ran perfectly.
I'VE crossed the cliffs and pier of Bou-
logne. At 110 miles an hour we flew
inland across the Somme River to Beau
Gals. Near here on the River Oise there
was a great column of smoke, A fac
tory on flre was blazing below.
In fifteen minutes we passed the
River Seine and then-Paris A mist
obscured a part of the city. but we
landed smoothly, found the customs
officers waiting to examine our baggage
and photographers to take snapshots of
the happy passengers"

said. and pleasant" the fashion cx-
pert added.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-"Sentiment
is growing" among the postal en-
ployees for a nationwide strike be-
cause of the attitude of Postmaster
General Burleson toward them,
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary treas
urer Of the National Association of
Postal Employees, told the House
Committee on Expenditure In the
Post Office Department to-day.
Throughout the service" Mr.. Fla
herty asserted. "the post office en-
ployees are beginning to wonder
whether they must strike before the
attention Of the public is drawn to
their demands. Wages have been in
creased only 25 per cent. In twelve
years. while living costs are up 100
per cent. in that time"
In answer to questions Of Represen-
tative Byrnes Is. c. Mr.. Flaherty de-
MED the leaders of the organizations
were fostering this strike spirit. but
! said the men fcc' they are being over
looked.
Il deplore the fact that the men feel
that way, but the truth is that Con-
gress must act to relieve the situa-
tton.' he said.
The postal system, Mr.. Flahertv and
other leaders OF the EMPLOYEES told the
committee. is in a virtual condition of
collapse as the result OF Mr. Burleson,s
management. against which he made
these charges:
That while the volume of mail has
increased so per cent the number of
employees has been increased only
IL per cent.
That thousands of trained en-
ployees have been driven out OF the
service because OF intolerable condi-
tons and the refusal of the DEPART
ment to hear them.
That Mr.. Burleson has dismissed
officers of employees organizations
for seeking relief by appealing to
Congress.
In place of trained men dismissed
unskilled men and even boys in
knickerbockers have been employed
The efficiency of the service is
lower than in nifty years, and Is
facts showing this have been repeat
edly withheld from Congress
That TO cover up delays in mail
the practice of falsely postmarking
mall has been resorted to-
After stating that the postal service
was undermined Mr.. Flaherty charged
that the Postmaster-G General had sent
his Chinese cook and negro coachman
d. TO the local post office as overtime en-
ployees and that this had caused much
dissension in the office here
THAT was the Postma ster- Generals
idea Of relief In times when extra help is
needed" he said. The Chinese cook
was shown special favors. being allow ed
to loiter, while other employees were
forced to speed up"
Mr.. Flaherty directed attention TO ac-
tion of employees at Sioux City, Ia, who
said they would have 10 resign on or be-

Local Auto Dealears to Aid in Fight on the Federal
 Law.

The Pine Bluff Automobile and Ac- cessory Dealers association at their regular fortnightly meeting at the Hotel Pines yesterday agreed to pledge financial as we'll as moral support to the national association in its fight against the government s ruling which provides for the confis- cation of automobiles used for the transportation of liquor.
 The action, according to members of the association, is because cars are often confiscated before they are paid for, and the dealer, having no lien on the car, has no recourse.
 According to an interpretation of the state law, made in decision ren- dered by Judge Sorrells several weeks ago. the car cannot be- confiscated Federal judges interpret the federal law to provide, however that the cars can be confiscated, and for that req son, the local association will join the national association in it's fight against the federal law.
 Slate McGehee was admitted as a member yesterday, with Harold Fow- les. as his associate. Linsell Boyles, of the Automobile Electric company, al so was admitted to membership.

 Austria Split Dual Empire

Washington, June 2.-The follow ing official summary of the official Austrian peace terms was made avail able today in diplomatic circles here:
 The frontiers of Austria: The north ern frontier facing Czecho- -Slovakia follows the existing administrative boundaries formerly separating the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia from those of upper and lower Aus tria subject to certain minor rectifica- tions, notably in the regions of Gmund and Feldsberg and along the river Moravia The southern frontier facing Italy and the Serb- -Croat Slov- enc state is to be fixed by the princi- pal allied and associated powers at later date. In the eastern part the line passing just east of Bleiburg crosses the Drave just above it's fon- fluence with the Lavant and thence will pass north of the Drave so as to leave to the Serb -Croat- -Slovene state, Marburg and Radkersburg, just to the north of which latter place it will join the Hungarian frontier. To wes- tern and northwestern frontiers fac ing Bavaria the western frontier fac ing Switzerland and the eastern from tier facing Hungary remain unchang- ed.
 Political clauses-Europe The high contracting parties recognize and accept the frontiers of Bulgaria Greece, Hungary. Poland, Rumania the Serb Croat- -Slovene state and the Czecho-S -Slovak states as at present or as ultimately determined. Austria re- nounces in favor of the principal al lied and associated powers all her rights and titles over territories for merly belonging to her which though outside the new frontiers of Austria. have not at present been assigned tc any state undertaking to accept the
