right hand man in France. passed
through Omaha on the@ Overland
united .rain yesterday, on his
way to his post at San Francisco.
General Liggett was commander
oSthe First army in France. He was
ooc of the first high officers to ar
rive in Europe after this country en-
tered the war, and opc of the last
nrn to leave. He was i'll command
OF the army of occupation for a
time.
s'Every thing there is to say about
the war has been said" the general
declared when interviewed II am
just returning from conference of
generals at Washington. where the

Ten Giant Lawson Airliners Operating :
Across the Country by May l, PROMISED
string Of Light Houses to
Guide the Way by

crete Landings.

Lighthouses that will guide the
sir pilot at night, just the same as
the mariner of the sea is guided by
ocean lighthouses, are to be IN
stalled by the Lawson Airline Trans
portation' company. These light
houses are to be built in string
rom coast to coast and will light
ap the path for the giant Lawson
passenger ships that are to be in
Dperation this spring These lights
Vill fash out so that they can be
wen for a distance of at least
SO miles, and i'll case of fog, the
r1ariner of the air will have his
radiagraph to fall back on. SO that
even if his way is blinded by dense
logs he will still be able to tell by
this useful little instrument which
direction he is flying and how far
nc is from given point.
"All of our ships will be lighted
qp at night so that they can be
seen great number OF miles off,
making it impossible for ships going
in opposite directions to collide with
Zach other" said Mr.. Lawson in dis
Nssing his plans with newspaper
nan, but accidents will be doubly
avoided by reason of the fact that
ships flying in different directions
Will fly at different attitudes, so
that, even in foggy weather ship
uaveling east at height of 1000
fset would be in no danger of rum
ding into a ship going west at
height of 5000 feet We will have
