MAIL BY AIR

One editor, commenting on the
flight Of Postmaster General Hays
from Washington to New York and
his statement that he enjoyed the
trip. remarks that he returned to
Washington by train. general Hays
nevertheless made the trip, possibly
encouraged by knowledge of the ac-
tual conditions of the air service
Donald Wilhelm in June World 8
Work writes that an air mail pilot
can nearly always get down at the
cost of a crash-not one mail pilot
has ever fallen out of the sky. He
tells us that although we have flown
the mail two million miles only twelve
pilots, not half as many as were
killed in recent train wreck, have
met their death by flying.
According to information from the
Postoffice Department the postal air
service covered nearly one and q
third million miles the past year, car
ried over a million pounds of mail
and did this at cost of s1,342, 362.67,
or an average of s1,02 per mile. On
the Washington New York route for
eight consecutive weeks the perform
ance was 100 per cent. The record
of the PostofIice Department, how
ever, shows greater fatality than does
the report of Mr.. Wilhelm, being for
the last year IS pilots, 5 mechanics
and one official, or nearly twice as
many fatalities as occurred the two
previous years. The explanation Of
fered for this increase in deaths is
that the establishing of the service to
the Pacific coast required flying over
the mountains; also that the plane
used-now discarded-was found to
have defects.
The total loss of life. is NOT such as
to deter the development of the serv-
ice. OF course the necessity of aerial
transportation is not such as to war
rant it's maintenance at great sacri-
flee of life. The utmost should be
done for safety of those engaged in
the work and it would seem there
could not arise in the future any ex-
cuse for the use of ~-4ective or mad
equate planes.

Tyrone, N. NJ, Queen
of Mining Camps, Is
Now But Deserted SPOT

Tyrone, N. NJ, May 23-Tyrone,
queen of the mining camps of the
state built at cost of 100000 and
given an artistic atmosphere through
the influence of Mrs. Cleveland H.
Dodge, is an empty shell.
A few short months ago $500 men,
women and children worked, lived
and enjoyed life in what probably is
the most beautiful mining camp in
the world. Now the Phelps Dodge
corporation big copper mines are
closed, there is no ore awaiting ship
ment, no means of livelihood re-
mains, stores have been closed, in
habitants are leaving, the. railroad
has served notice that trains no long
er will run.
Within a short time only a dozen
men. left to guard the mines and
their expensive machinery. will be
left. Even the Phelps Dodge Corpor-
alton general store has closed and the
entire stock has been shipped to
Douglas.

bloating, and my heart palpitated so

husband had to be up with me, and
during the day I felt more like stay
ing in bed than being up about the
house. also suffered dreadfully
from constipation and spells of sick
stomach, and was weak and tired out
all the time. 1 had rheumatism in
my hips awful bad, and neuritis in
my arms that panied me so bad
could scarcely sleep. Words can't full
ly describe how dreadfully I suffered.
Il took my first Tanlac about three
years ago, and keep it on hand all the
tirely Of the neuritis and rheumatism,
has relieved me Of indigestion and
palpitation, and I am free from con-
stipation for the first time in years 1

already told a great many people

The Lusitania Claims.


Six years have passed and yet the
claims of the survivors of the Lusi-
tania are still unsettled.
Six years ago. on the 9TH of May,
Germany brought the lesson of the
war home to America
Twenty-three months of ignomin-

nineteen months Of war But the
Lusitania claims remained unsettled.
There followed thirty months OF
peace discussion, during which many
apologies for poor Germany were
made. But the Lusitania claims re-
manned unsettled.
The government has in it's posses

be made to give the claimants what

Hunt for Concealed
Irish Arms and
Ammunition

dublin, May Shy Associated
Press)-A new feature of military
administration in Dublin is the sue
cess of the authorities in discovering
concealed arms and ammunition. Most
active in this work has been the F.
Company of the Auxiliaries to the
Constabulary. which, as communica-
tons regarding it are always issued
by General Headquarters, and not by
the castle, must be supposed to be
operating by military orders.
After months of almost fruitless
searches important finds are being
made. Search is not confined to the
poorer districts and the most fash
ionable houses are exhaustively ex-
amined. Suspicion is not directed so
much against the owners of such
houses as against their servants,
while in some cases it is probable
that neither master nor servant were
cognizant Of all that the premises
contained.
Dublin has numerous streets Of
houses each with stable at the back
relics of the time when the occu-
pants kept carriages. In many cases
these stables are let to car drivers,
or to anybody willing to rent them,
and several of these stables have
been found to contain supplies of re-
volvers. rifles and bombs. Some
houses in the suburbs have long gar
dens to the end of which the owners
do not often penetrate, and in some
OF these. bombs have been discovered.
Despite all this activity the official
summary of outrages records each
week no diminution in the number or
character of the attacks made in the
city. which have grown in excess of
all anticipations. ~

Sec. Weeks Views
On Church and
Universal Peace

Winona Lake, Ind, May 23-In
connection with the efforts Of the
Presbyterian Church to promote
universal peace. John w. Weeks,
Secretary of War, was asked
to present to the Presbyterian Gen.
eral Assembly, now in session here. q
statement giving his views regarding
the function of the church in the So
luton of the nations problems. AS a
result, the following message from
Secretary Weeks was read today to
the Presbyterian commissioners as
sembled from all parts of the coun-
try:
1.-The nation is gradually putting its
house into order, but neither the
President by executive degree nor the
Congress by the enactment of legis-
lation can wholly return the country
to a normal state. The solution of
our problems, both social and indus
trial will not be very difficult when
the citizen himself decides to return
to a state of normally; and it is in
this connection that the church. l
think, has duty to perform, the i'm
emphasized.
1.-THE first line of defense of the Re-
public from the enemy without and
the enemy within is not the Navy nor
the Army. but the Home. This great
nation was founded on the little
group of sturdy Christian homes that
constituted the Plymouth Colony,
and it is to the American home that
America owes it's greatness and
power, not to its commerce. it's
mighty fleets, or it's victorious armies
1t is the source of our strength and
we cannot lessen it's influence or i'm
rortance without dangerously weak
ening the very foundation of the
Republic. Keep the home fires burn
ing and bolshevision and I. w. W.ism
and anarchy viii die of malnutrition.
There are abroad in the land in
fuences which are steadily under
mining the home life of America. and
the tendency of our modern life is to
seek substitute for the home. In
returning the nation to a state of nor
malcy, our first duty is the restora
ton of the sanctity, the integrity,
and the importance of the American
home. The church is in more init
mate relationship with the home
than any other agency in the body
polite, and in these days of recon-
struction the church can if it will
exert steadying and SOLDERING in
huence in a time when men are not
inclined to think clearly, and can
render the nation and itself no great
er service than to undertake, as it's
part in the readjustment of the af-
fairs of the country. the establish
ment of the old fashioned American
home.
