ALL RUSSIA
PLEASED BY
PROSPECTS
First Move Toward Recognition
By United States Causes Jubi-
lation In Soviet.
KALININ READY TO TRAVEL
Foreign Minister Expected To
Visit Washington Early In
November For Conference.
Bv EuGENE LYONS

MOSCOW, Oc;. 21.-Russia dis
played unconcealed jubilation today
at the prospect of recognition by the
United States, and regarded the ex-
change of letters between Roosevelt
and President Kalinin as the most
important event in it's recent his
tory.
Officials were openly enthusiastic,
in contrast to their usual reserve.
Popular sentiment was apparent ev-
eryWhere In streets, street cars,
and in Shops-wherever the ordin-
ary people gathered, the prospect of
recognition was the only topic for
talk.
The news dominated the front
pages of newspapers and evoked
comment throughout the country.
Officials said that Maxim Litvin-
off brilliant foreign minister.
would leave within very few days
for Washington to conduct the ne
gotiationS.
Soviet Russia, in agreeing to ne
gotiate outstanding problems with
the United States before formal re-
cognltlon, has made a concession
that marks new stage in its for
eign policy, it was emphasized to-
day.
Heretofore, fearing rebuffs that
would dim its prestige, the Russian
government has insisted that for
NAL recognition by world powers
precede negotiations on claims,
trade, propaganda activities and
other problems.
President Michail Kalinin's letter
answering President Roosevelt's Of
fer of negotiations made it plain
that Russia, in the United States
case, departed entirely from the pol
icy of prior recognition.
From Rusisas viewpoint the con-
cession is one of great moment, an
indication of it's desire in the pre-
sent stage of world politics to con-
sclidate relations with the last great
power to hold aloof.

SAILOR LOSES
LIFE SEEKING

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. U.R
The U. S. transport Chaumont

without Gunners Mate Shephen
Orban, who lost his life in a futile
effort to swim to the ship after it
cleared the dock here.
The crowd watching 1000 en-

ice was startled when a man ran
down the pier shouting, "wait for

The ship was yards away from
the dock and his call was not
heard. The man, in naval uni
form, plunged into the water and
started to swim toward the ship.
Three hundred yards out he sank
while two naval tugs rushed to aid
him. His body was not recovered.
Naval records showed the drown

have faced court martial and pos

The obstacles they must over

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 81. -
Why are the farmers striking?
Because all other efforts have
failed to bring results. Becau;\ they
refuse to be evicted from the homes
they have builded, the lands they
have cultivated, as result of an
unjust economic condition that was
planned and is made possible by
those who have amassed great for
tunes by exploitation. Because every
pledge that has been made to them
has been violated every promise
broken.
Agriculture has been made the

indianapolis Filler Won High
Praise for His Record
in u. S. Service.
BY MRS. c. o. ROBINSON

Dispatching letter by air mail
today is such commonplace event
that neither the sender of the letter
nor the philatelist who collects the
air mail stamps realizes the hazards,
long hours and anxiety of the pio-
neer fliers in air mail infancy. How
ever, Robert F. Shank, president Of
Hoosier Airport, Inc, indianapolis,
as he is the only living member of
the first quartet of United States
postoffice department air mail pilots.
He is also the sole Indiana mem
Der of The Early Birds; an organi-
cation of pilots who learned to fly
during the first thirteen years which
followed the historic flight of the
Wright brothers, Dec. II, 1908.
Shank purchased Stupar Trac-
tor airplane in 1915, Eddie Stinson
taught him to fly, and with only
four hours of solo flying he began to
give exhibitions which he continued
until he became an instructor in the
Stinson school of flying at San An
tonic.
Later, with Stinson, he conducted
the National School of Flying at
Houston, Tex, and when the United
States entered the world war he
served as instructor at both Kelly
and Love fields.
Since experienced f1iers were in
the aviation service because of the
war, the governmnt on May IS,
1918, attempted to establish, under
army control, an air mail route be-
tween New York and Washington,
using army planes and pilots.
TWenty-four cents an ounce was
fixed as the air mail rate and a
"a cent air mail stamp was issued.
1t was bordered in red, with the
central design in blue showing a
mail plane in flight, and was used
for this brief venture.
In July the poStoffice department
assumed the direction of air mail
activities, bought six planes and
selected four pilots, Bob Shank, Max
Miller, Edward V. Garner and Maui
rice Newton. Just as in the days of
the pony express, bringing the mail
through safely was paramount, and
the four men were chosen because
of their records.
The air mail rate was lowered to

Bob Shank Was Pilot ON
First Air Mail Journey

IS cents an ounce and another
stamp was issued, to be used for the
first time in the new service. 1t was
the same design as the first stamp,
only green in color, of 16-cent value
and now catalogs for SO unused
Shank and Miller were given the
privilege Of making the first flights,
Aug. g. 1918, and started sinful
taneously from New York and Wash
ington. The photograph above shows
Shank in his plane landing at Col
lege Park airport, Washington, with
the first consignment of mail under
postoffice jurisdiction and postoffice
mail truck No. l waiting to re-
ceive it.
This was a momentous occasion
and the field was thronged with in
tereSted spectators. About 100
pounds of mail was carried the first
trip, but later the average was fl
teen or twenty pounds a day.
The course selected was COM
paratively easy and perfect rec
ord was maded for the first three
months. With the coming of fall,
however, fog along the Atlantic sea-
board made flying complicated and
dangerous. Although aviators can
fly blind today with the aid of
modern instruments, the compass
Of that day was useless in fog.
AS a result, Shank had many
narrow escapes in forced landings.
At one time lie almost landed on a
moving train. Again, with a broken
water line over New York City, by
luck he barely glided over the fence
into Belmont Park landing field.
His most thrilling experience that
year, however, was flying over the
GilliSpie Shell loading plant at the
time that it exploded
In spite of all difficulties from
plane construction and weather con-
ditions, the pilots performed such
dependable and accomplished flying
that the postoffice department was
assured of success of the air mail.
The rate was cut to cents an ounce
and another stamp was issued in
design like the first two, but orange
in color.
Too much praise can not be given
these pilots, who demonstrated for
the government the feasibility of
transporting mail by plane, for to
the success of the airmail venture is
attributed the rapid aeronautical de-
velopment in this country.
Of these four pilots, Miller and
Gardner gave their lives to aviation.
Newton died several years after
leaving the service, and Bob Shank
alone remains to recount the hard
ships and hazards.
