Chicago, April 14.-Daily flights be-
tween New York and Chicago by air

inaugurated soon according to an an
nouncement by MIJs. Edith McCor-
mick. Mrs. Mccormick told a meet
ing of the Womens National Service
Committee that she was interested
in the plans two years ago.
She predicted that in a short time
rans-continental passenger planes ex-
ceiling those now in use in Europe
in capacity, appointments and com.
forts will be operated.
ut was almost two years ago, said
Mrs. Mccormick, that the plans
were submitted to me and | became
very much interested. They provide
for two passenger planes costing ST..
900, 900 each with a capacity of 200
persons and $4,000 pounds of freight
I'VE expect that they will negotiate
the distance between Chicago and
New York in ten hours. The rates
will be as reasonable as those on ouI
best trans-continental trains today
and round trips can be made easily

HARBORD MAKES
PLEA FOR ARMY
OF 10000 MEN
Says Congress Should
Decide One Way Or
Other and Not Mislead
the Country In the Mat
ter of Insuring the Ma
tons Safety

Washington. April 1.-THE regular
army cannot accomplish the task set
for ii by law with a personnel of less
than 15O. 1000. Major General J. G. Har-
bord, deputy chief of staff, declared
today before the Senate appropria-
tions committee in connection with its
consideration of the pending army
bill. To attempt to carry out the work
laid down for the war department
with less than 100000 men, he said,
would mean that something must

There is a minimum limit below
which you cannot go with safety"
General HarbOrd told the committee.
"The air service cannot he efficient
below 1000 men; the cavalry and
field artillery cannot safely be di-
minished. If 10000 or more men cam
not be had. then in my judgment Con-
gress should frankly state a different
mission for us and not mislead the
country on our national defense. be-
lieve the appropriation as passed by
the House of Representatives is dam
gerously small and imperils the ma
tional defense" Gen. Harbord con-
tinued. "Particularly striking at the
national guard. the organized re-
serves. the reserve officers training
camps and the civilian military train

estimate that the purpose of the act Of

ton" the witness declared.
Should we be again forced into
war" he said, "our overseas garri-
sons would practically remain as the
emergency finds them. 1t is doubtful if
we could reinforce them after war
had actually begun, and to do it while
relations were strained would prob
ably precipitate matters: the first
overt act in the war between Russia
and Japan preceded the declaration Of
war"

THE HUGE ARMY
OF IDLE MINERS
Union Leaders Claim
Real Progress Is Being
Made In Extending
Area of Strike, While
Operators Say They
Are Holding Own

Pittsburg, Pa, April 14.-The open
ing of the Easter holidays today
showed that fully 500 miners in the
Connellsville coke region failed 10
renort for work. This was hailed by
organizers for the United Mine WORK
ars who are seeking to extend the
coal strike as a victory, but was met
nv the declaration of the operators
that the men were only following
long established custom and were not
expected to return untiP Tuesday.
Both sides were surprised by re
norts from the Indian Creek valley
on the tte-Westmoreland county
border. where four independent mines
were tied up today. Last Monday
the mines were shut down on ac-
count of an accident in the power
plant. Tuesday union organizers ap-
peared in the field and worked dill
gently while repairs were beng made
to the machinery. Today the power
plant was started, but there were no
miners. Union leaders announced
that a local CT United Mine Work
ers was to be formed this afternoon,
with a membership of about 200.
In spite of the strike prosperity
beamed on the region, for paymGsters
were today completing the statement
of "a payroll of approximately $1,OOO,-
900 to miners and coke workers for
their labors the last two weeks in
March Part of the money went to
men who have since struck.
The only untoward accident to
come to the notice of the authorities
was the Filbert mine of the Frick
Company when a detail of state po-
lice was sent there to disperse par
ty of women who was making it un-
comfortable for men on their way to
work. The crowd was dispersed and
the women were told that the incl
dent was not to be repeated. The
influence upon the region was again
shown by decreased shipments, the
most pronounced falling being seen
in the Point Marion district. The
loadings were 115 cars of coal as
compared with 160 the day before.
The normal shipment from that sec
ton is $50 cars daily. The Mononga-
hela River section also reported a
continued decrease in shipments.
