 Post Office Department

WASHINGTON, August 25.-The army air service took vigorous is- sue Saturday with the postoffice de- partment in the latter's claim that one of the air mail flyers had beaten all time records for transcontinental flights.

 Particular mention was made by the post office department that Smith had beaten the time record of First Lieutenants MacReady and Kelly in their nonstop flight across the con- tiuent It was declared that Mac Ready and Kelly took 26 hours and 50 minutes for their flight
 Army air service officials stated that in the first place, MacReady and Kelly took 35 hours and IS minutes for their nonstop transcontinental flight. which was not made with any purpose of attaining a speed record, but purely to accomplish flight across the continent without a stop.
 In the second place, air service officials said. if the post office de- partment wants to dispute a speed record of the army air service, the air mail was referred to the flight by Lieut.. James Fl. Doolittle, Septem- her 4, last, between Pablo Beach, Fla, and San Diego, Cal, made in 2l hours and 20 minutes flying time and 22 hours and S5 minutes total

WASHINGTON, August 25.- Political significance of Governor Pinchot's activities in the coal crisis shared interest Saturday with the economic effect of q strike.

SCOTLAND YARD MEN DON'T LOOK THE PART
Have Trouble Where Fake Sherlock
 Holmes Finds Easy Pickings

LONDON, August 25.-Scotland Yard is lamenting that the regular sleuths apparently lack the "Sher- lock Holmes look" Recently an in- genious crook has been victimizing London storekeepers by a method which the official habitues of Scot land Yard find almost impossible to get by with in the regular way of business.
 Describing himself as Detective Inspector Stevens, Scotland Yard" the crook has been calling on store keepers to search for forged treas ury notes, and as he Hooked like detective" the storekeepers made no difficulty about showing him all the notes they had. Stevens selected proportion of the notes as doubt ful" and announced that he must take them to Scotland Yard for ex- pert examination. He produced an official looking receipt book, and the storekeepers raised no objection to parting with the alleged forgeries.
 Scotland Yard is filled with ad- miration and chagrin for, as a high official explained, when our own men go on similar quests they find all sorts of obstacles placed in their way. All the credentials of Scotland Yard seem unagailing at times, and suspicious storekeepers frequently st&mon policeman to interrogate the detective. Apparently our men do not look like detectives" he said sadly.

Premier Baldwin Taking A Short Vacation At French
 Water Resort
By CARL VICTOR LITTLE


 PARIS, August 25.-Traveling In- cognito and without the official knowledge of the Quai d'Orsay min istry, Premier Baldwin of England passed Through Paris Saturday on his way to a To-day rest Alx-Les- Bains.
 During the Sabbath lull, eyes were turned toward Ondecourt. a small village in the Mouse department, north of the former American gen eral headquarters at Chaumont, where Poincare will make the anni- versary celebration of the srrival or American troops in France the oc- casion for his regular Sunday ser- mon on European relations.
 M Poincare Is understood to have completed a thorough study of Chancellor Stresemann's speech to German industrialists a few days ago. It would not be surprising if his speech were addressed to the new German ministry.
 Short shrift is expected from him for Stresemann's e-enInciation of the Cuno proposals, but his allu- sions to German willingness to un- derwrite the separations payments
  portant reaction in Poincare's ad- dress.
 Thus far no definite steps have been taken toward arrangement of the personal conversations between Baldwin and Premier Poincare, and possibly other ministers, after he has recuperated from his recent pressure.
 Srch final arrangements, how ever, were believed to await a con- sultation between Baldwin and Mar quis Curzon, the British foreign minister, who is also spending a holiday in France.
 Between them, they are expected to settle, durng the next ten days, whether another inter-Sllied confer ence, or one of even wider scope, is timely to attack the separations problem afresh and endeavor to eliminate the decided divergences of the trans channel views.

 "The situation in Germany and for that matter throughout Europe. Is most menacing," said Representative Aswell. after hls conference.
