Irkutsk, Siberia, Saturday, April IF. (By Canadian Press.)-Some improvement is noticeable in the operation of the trans-Siberian railway since the interal- lied railway mission began it's work, representatives of the mission say, all thouEn the mission has done nothing bey- nd making a preliminary investga- tic 4 The reason for the improvement is believed to be due to the fact that allied officers have been visiting the vari- o,,s stations and jogging up the local officials.
 The trans -Bailxal line is hampered seri- ously by the operation of General seme- noff. whose arniored trains demand much needed rolling stock and whose levies on railway funds tend to disorganiza- tion.
 Rumors of bolshevik uprlsings have caused the officials to use the greatest vigilance in operating the trains.

BRITISH DISAPPOINTED

London, April 19.-The keenest dis appoin tment is felt in Great Britain at the failure of Major Wood to reach Ireland. whence he intended to attempt a flight across the Atlantic, because it had been hoped here that an airman starting from this side would be the first to accomplish the feat.
 It is believed certain that Major Woods departure must be delayed greatly, for even if his machine can be salvaged, it will take a long while to get it tuned up again. There have been conflicting reports as to how seriously the machine is damaged. if at all
 Since the airplane was built, many engines have been tested In her and the one used in Fridays attempt was found in trials to suit the machine per fectly.
 Major Wood, it is believed, must have got out of his course as the hour he fell into the sea off Holyhead--7 o'lock Friday night-was the hour at which he had expected to reach Curragh on the other side of the Irish channel.

 It was upon this side of the questienI that he stood, he said. adding: f-
 There are others, however in high and responsible positions. who defend the system, who stoutly insist that ~ is modern, liberal, has not resulted inl injustice. and these have taken almost. every means to assure the people thai this system is worthy of the highest. popular confidence. I am led to believe that the people themselves, upon thu information they have. are inaDrssseA with the injustice of the system.
 There are many investigations about the system. It is announced that a, judge advocate has recently been dis patched to Europe to investigate ths European system of military justice, aI field which I covered just one year ago and made a report which was never read A commtte of the American Bar association IS making an ihNestteesion1 So far as I can discover from the press hardly think that investigation is likely to prove beneficial. They seem to have called the available major gent erals of the regular army. and I under stand they intend to call all living for- mer secretaries of war. It is rather a pity that Gustavus Adolphus, from whom came considerable part of our code, could not also appear before them. to commend the system which he ad-I ministered."
