OVERSEAS AIR MAIL:

Weekly Service by Zeppelins

BERLIN, November 2S.-A weekly
mail Zeppelin service between the
United States and Europe will soon
be started. DR.. Hugo Eckner, di-
rector of the Zeppelin Company, who
had charge of the ZR-3's trans
atlantic flight, said today.
The Zeppelin-G combination
does not intend to establish a passen-
ger service for the present, he indi-
Gated, but believes one Zeppelin each
way weekly, carrying a half-million
letters, at 25 cents per letter, would
be a business success.
Service to Argentina.
DR.. Eckner expects soon to leave
for Spain to arrange for a Madrid
Buenos Aires service operated on the
same basis as the weekly service to
and from the United States. The
dirigibles on this route would take
four days going from Europe and
four and one-haf days returning, <e
estimated.
The airship of the future will b
larger than the ZR-3, according to
DR.. Eckner, who predicted the ca
pacity at from 100000 to 10000
cubic meters. With such a ship, he
declared. the North Pole region could
be easily explored.
AS a measure for effecting an easy
landing for the big dirigibles, making
a repetition of the trouble expert
enced on the occasion of the Wash
ington christening of the Los Angeles
unlikely, DR.. Eckener suggested
starting and landing at night when
the sun is not shining and little gas
need be blown off.

tries must in their personal rela-
tions, as well as their diplamatic
households, observe simplicity of
form and economy of expenditure.
Their refusal to participate in the
customary diplomatic and social
functions of foreign countries does
not arise from the position they
occupy and should not be re-
garded as an unfriendly act.
1.-The same view should be taken
regarding their refusal to partici-
pate in manifestations which have
a monarchical character or which
generally are not in harmony with
the Soviet principles. Such acts
should not be considered in the
nature of propaganda or as DEM
onstrations of a political charac-
ter.
"On the other hand, the Soviet
government will not regard as an
unfriendly act the refusal by for
eign diplomats accredited to So
Wet Russia to participate in func-
tions which they consider con-
trary to their custom or which
appear to have a revolutionary
character.
I'VE believe observance of these
regulations will establish better
understanding between the Soviet

PARIS, November 2s.-France is
threatened with Communist revo-

Cardinal Dubois to be published to-
morrow in the Semaine Religieuse,
an official Catholic organ.
Appealing to all French Catholics
to fight against the danger which
menaces us SO imminently," the cardi-
nal writes: THE hour Is grave We
must react today: tomorrow, perhaps,
will be too late. God protect France"
The cardinals manifesto, which is
circulated throughout France by the
Agence Havas, deals with the red
demonstration at the ceremony at
tending the transference to the
Pantheon of the ashes OF Jean Jaures,
the martyred Socialist leader.
1t continues: rs victorious France,

Communist army, compact and disci-

of red flags stamped with the hammer r

danger that one believed to be remote

the consequences of a policy that can
lead France to the worst Of catastro-

For communism would be the ruin
OF that which is dearest to us-re-

MOSCOW, November 2S.-The
Soviet Russian government today
issued regulations on social and
diplomatic etiquette for the guild
ance of its representatives abroad.
The rules are intended to meet
the wide social and other differ

exist between the ''proletarian-

capitalistic nations.
There Is no need to AFFIRM"
say the regulations, that foreign
missions are being appointed by
both sides not for the purpose OF
carrying on propaganda in the
countries to which they are ac-

observing and will observe this
principle with unbending strict

Cost of Zeppelin Service Held Pro
hibitive at Present.
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
American postal officials are much
interested in the plans of Dr. Hugo
Eckener, contemplating a weekly air.
ship mail service between the
United States and Europe, but they
know of no definite steps to that end.
Paul Henderson, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, who has charge
of the mail service, has been study
ing the possibilities of using airships
of the Zeppelin type in connection
with the future Of the United States
recent acquisition of the ZR-3, now
the Los Angeles. There has been
much discussion among. Army, Navy
and postal officials. and some idea of
the approximate costs has been
worked out. The Government is in
friendly attitude toward any pro-
posals which will permit of trans
atlantic mail transmission by air
ship at cost within reason, but thus
far no proposals have been made to
Washington by airship manufactur-
ers.
There is doubt in the minds of
American postal authorities as to
the correctness of the belief of the
Zeppelin-Goodyear combination that
weekly service each way across
the Atlantic carrying letters at 25
cents each, would be a business sue
cess. To compete with the present
steamship services semi-weekly
airship service would be required.
Five ships Required.
To carry on such services at least
five ships would be required and a
hangar on both sides of the ocean
capable of housing two ships. The
cost of eQuipping such service
would be at least $20,000,000 1t is
roughly estimated. The cost of hand
ling an airship II hydrogen were used
for imitation would be somewhere
about $1,000 weekly and If helium
| were used it would run several times
| that amount.
The accuulation Of American mails
| for Great Britain and France at
| present Is about 100000 letters week
| ly To carry this amount across the
| Atlantic, about $4,000 week is paid
the steamship companies. Only a
small proportion of this large foreign
mall in the opinion of American
postal officials. would be dispatched
| by it's senders at the rate of rs cents
suppested by the Zeppelin-Goody
| combination.
While the American Government
might consider proposals for carrying
this foreign mail by airship at a
slightly higher cost than at preseI\
Is paid steamship lines, the opinion
of postal authorities is that the
| Government would not undertake the
full cost or even the major portion
of any such experimental service.

Basis for Funding of

Informal discussions have been in
stituted between representatives of
the French and American govern
ments relative to basis for funding
the formers wartime debt to the
United States.
Ambassador Jusserand has held
several conferences with Secretary
Mellon of the Treasury. during which
the whole French situation was gone
over. 1t was made clear at the Treas
ury today. however, that Mr.. Mel
Ions talks with NJ. Jusserand had
been most informal; that thus far

finances, and that the subject Of ac-
tual terms had not been broached
except as these are governed by the
ability Of France to pay.
United States Position Unchanged.
Dispatches from Paris indicating
French belief that cut in principal
and interest will be made by this Gov
ernment were received without COM

officials asserted that the American posi-

to full payments, but tempered with a
willingness to accommodate terms of

acquainted with conditions indicated
their belief that until Congress gave

Debt Commission to express a view.
1t was indicated that such sugges-

The Treasury now holds French
government obligations of face

sum due this Government as a result
Of its wartime aid to allied powers,

has made a funding settlement, the

outstanding.
A move toward a settlement was
made last Summer when Edward n.

American Debt Commission, laid be-
fore Secretary Mellon a plan which

of the French payments for reinvest-

to aid in the upbuilding of France in

Nothing has come from the plan. and
Secretary Mellon has steadfastly de-
clined to talk of its possibilities.
M. Jusserand Is shortly to retire
from the diplomatic service, and there
was a belief among some officials to-
day that his conferences with Mr..
Mellon were designed to enable him

American view to his government

SLIDE bALKS WORK
ON NEW CONDUIT
Soft Rock Impeding Con.
Struction of Tunnel Near
Great Falls.

Slow descent of a heavy mass Of
soft rock" is impeding the work of
drilling a tunnel through the base of
large hill Of rock formation just
this side of the dam at Great Falls,
and is causing the contractors con-
siderable trouble. 1t is officially
stated, however, that the situation
will not prevent the completion by
January 1, 1927, of the new aqueduct
system, now under construction. The
slide began several days ago, and the
engineers have not yet been able to
check its steady movement They
say 1t is just "a pocket" of soft rock,
In an otherwise solid formation, and
that the slide soon will exhaust itself
by natural, processes. The direction
and extent of the soft mass has not
been determined.
The tunnel under construction Is to
be about three-quarters of a mile in
length. 1t begins near the influx of
the water at Great Falls, and is to
extend to a point about a mile west
of the Anglers Clubhouse, at Crop
ley's. There 1t is to connect with the
big surface concrete conduit which
extends to the Dalecarlia, or receiv-
ing, reservoir at the District line.
diameter and is lined with concrete.
Roof Caved In.
A force of so men, working "a
hours a day, in three rotating hour
shifts, is engaged on its construction.
operating from both ends. The gang
from the west end had penetrated
about 1000 feet through solid rock to
point where the workers were about
140 feet below the surface of the
hill, when suddenly the roof caved in
and the tunnel head was filled by a
mass of what is described as soft
rock"
Fortunately no one was hurt, but
further progress will be impossible
until the mass can be removed
through the long passageway alfeady
constructed to the ground surface at
the end. That would not have been
such a difficult job if 1t had meant
the removal only of the soft rock that
fell at first, but the work had only
fairly started again when it was
found that the slide was a long and
persistent one, and kept coming in
through the top whenever space was
made for 1t, and was Of such a char
acter that it could not be checked.
Engineers declare that further
Roadway is impossible at that point
until the rock stop sliding and is all
removed, or some method is devised
to stop the flow. They have been un-
able to establish the area of the
pocket" but from the fact that 1t
is in the hill at its highest point 1t
is feared that it may be a long and
possibly wide one. Maj. O'Connor
says that the accident will probably
delay the completion of the tunnel
few months and add to the troubles
of the contractors, but that it will
not otherwise interfere with the gen
eral plan of completing the entire
new water supply. system by January
1, 1927. He added that work is going
on as usual in the construction of
the tunnel from the east end and,
with no setbacks, should soon be
completed to the connecting point
where the rock slide occurred. The
material being removed is used in the
construction of nearby roads.

spiracy Charge to Fleece
Indian Prince.

LONDON, November 29-The jury
in the Robinson conspiracy suit. in
volving an unnamed Indian prince.
rendered a verdict this afternoon
finding that conspiracy had existed
to extort money from the prince,
known as "Mr. A." but that Robin
son and Mrs. Robinson were not par
ties to it.
The jury also found that "Mr. A"
was induced to part with two checks
for G150.000 each through such fear
and alarm that his mind was unset
tied and that the act was not free
and voluntary.
After these findings the jury again
retired to consider further questions
put to it by Justice Darling, the pre-
siding judge.
Says Prince Gained NothinS. ~
Justice Darling. who previously
had refused to permit the jury to
consider the question whether or not
the bank was negligent in paying
the money involved in the suit to
William Cooper Hobbs. the solicitor
engaged by the parties to the scheme,
rather than to Robinson, to whom
the potentate's original check for
f150,000 had been made out. pointed
out that in the whole transaction the
prince had gained nothing. With all
the publicity and scandal that had
developed it was extremely unlikely,
said the Justice, that people who
know him had not learned of his part
in the affair.
Let me say again." Justice Darling
declared, that nothing would have
induced me to have the name con-
cealed but that 1 was requested to
do SO for reasons of state"
solicitor IL Witness.
At the continuation yesterday of the
suit, Solicitor Waters, who was con-
suited by Mr. A. in 1919, when the
prince is said to- have been 'badgered,"
was the chief witness.
Waters said he advised the prince
to do nothing, but asserted he was
subsequently, informed by the prince
that the matter had been settled for
100000. Waters testified that he ex-
pressed amaZement, but his client in
formed him it was absolutely essen
tial that there should be no publicity
about the case. The prince asserted
that the money had been paid under
pressure.
Accuses Attorney.
Waters added that he subsequently
saw William Cooper Hobbs, solic-
itor, who it has been declared on the
witness stand was a party to the plot
against the prince. Hobbs, Waters
said, was Informed by him that the
matter had been disgracefully handled
and that a good deal of the money
would have to be returned. Hobbs,
the witness said. declared there had
been no plot, but he apparently ac-
quiesced in the stopping by the bank
of the second check of f150,000, al
legged to have been given the band
by the prince, but which had never
been cashed
Sir John asked the jurors not to be-
lieve the story of Montague Noel
Newton to the effect that Mrs. Robin
son told him that the eastern prince
was enormously wealthy" and sug-
gested that Newton take the part of
her husband in the apartment room
where the prince was to be caught
with her.
Sir John had not finished his sum-
ming up when the court adjourned
this evening. 1t is expected that the
case will go to the jury tomorrow.
