still alive and telling about his record

So the span of single life covers
the transportation development of
America from the OK team and covered
wagon at two miles an hour to the
airplane at 156 miles. In between are
the stage coach, pony express, rail-
road and the march of the American
people across the continent.
Vaughan, in accomplishing the
seemingly impossible, won fame for
himself and prestige for the air serv-
ice and for his country. His flight is
epochal, from both military and COM
mercial viewpoints incidentally, a
transcontinental all-night air-mail serv-
ice goes into effect next Tuesday.
DREMIER MUSSOLINI of Italy,
whose speedy downfall had been
predicted by his opponents as the re-
suit of the abduction and murder Of
Socialist Matteotti, is today more than
ever his country's national hero. In
.cidentally he COMPOUNDED the prophets
and set all diplomatic Europe agape by
his magnificent gift to the Italian peo-
pie In an epochaI address before the
senate Tuesday, confirmed by an adj
dress Wednesday to the Fascist ma
jority in the lower house, he promised
to reform the Fascist government and
to return to constitutional parliament
tary government. He promised this:
First, l will cause the institution
of parliament to function regularly
and nobly as an organ of legislative
power, restoring to it its capacity and
its prestige.
Second, will regularize under the
constitution the situation of the ma
tional militia.
Third, / will repress the superim-
posed illegalisms in the organization
of the Fascist party.
Even the Socialists do not doubt
Mussolini's sincerity and good faith.
BY giving up the dictatorship he is ap-
parently more powerful than ever.

NJ Tuesday accepted the premier
ship of the Union of South Africa, sue
ceeding Premier Jan Christian SHUTS,
resigned. SHUTS, soldier-statesman,
reckoned in other parts of the British
empire as one of the greatest figures
of his time, is the champion of the
policy of strict allegiance to the Brit
ish home government. Hertzog, the
Natfonalist-Labor leader, is champion
of the movement of the South African
party to establish an independent
Dutch-governed republic. The recent
election campaign was fought on this
issue. The result was substantial
majority in parliament for the South
African party. Thus the first ayoWed-
" republican government in the Brit
ish empire will soon be in existence.
1t is apparently a second blow at the
principle of imperial unity. 1t will be
remembered that Premier King of
Canada declined to submit to parlia-
npnt the treaty made by Great Britain
with Turkey-the so-called Lausanne
treaty-on the ground that Canada
had no share in making it.
ORIG. GEN. CHARLES G. DAWES,
ID Republican candidate for vice
president. will have his first conference
with President Coolidge Tuesday. He
and Mgs. Dawes will be guests at the
White House for several days. Chair
man William NJ Butler of the Repub-
lican national committee and other
leaders will attend the conference. AT
an Association of Commerce meeting
before leaving Chicago General Dawes
said that he would make no speeches
until the campaign opened, when he
would do 'ellis best" Presumably
"Heu Maria" Dawes can be relied
upon to enliven the campaign.
Chairman Butler Thursday in New
York began to arrange for the opening
of eastern headquarters for the Re-
publican campaign. he SAID the Cool-
idge clubs of the country would be or
ganized and centralized in bureau
at New York, as an adjunct to the
campaign.
The Democrats are "chortling with
glee'' over an alleged discovery in con-
nection with the appointment of Will
liam Hodges, a Denver lawyer, as
treasurer of the Republican national
committee. They expect to link up
Republican funds with Wall street
through the fact that Hodges was
classmate at Columbia law school with
Dwight Morrow, partner in J. P.
Morgan & Co., who was a classmate
of President Coolidge at Amherst.
