The closing date set by the postoffice for transatlantic Christmas mails is Dec. IA, although that is very close to the margin, with possibly no mail reaching certain destinations in European countries.
 South American Letters
 South American mail and parcel post have better chance of adher- ing more closely to schedule. Mail may be sent by transatlantic Clip per at 30 cents half ounce, there by expediting quicker delivery The Pacific Clipper departs Tuesday from San Francisco and Los Ange- les to China, Guam, Philippines, Hawaii, Macao, Hong Kong, Canton Island, New Caledonia and New Zea- land. At times connection is made with British airmail route to Ma lava and Dutch East Indies.
 Mail sent to Japan goes from Hongkong by steamer, where Brit ish airmail stops at Kongkong and takes off for lot of different plac- es, such as Egypt, India and Ceylon, where censorship is strictly enforced. Mail leaving San Francisco, Dec. F may reach Pacific countries before Christmas. It takes seven days to span the ocean but the post office is not very encouraging as to length of time mail will take before reach ing its final points of destination.
 Transatlantic airmail should leave here by Dec. 14, and trans-Pa- cific by Dec. l for distant countries and the sooner the better.

COMMISSIONER IS
 SHOT TO DEATH

Continued from Page D high commissioner to Syria and Lebanon, has found death in dra- matic circumstances.
 "He left France last Wednesday to join his post at Beyrout, with the first halt at Tnuis. Flying over the Mediterranean the plane which car- ried him was machine-gunned in flight by an English plane Wednes- day noon.
 Halfway between the Sardinia coast and Africa, Chiappe sent the following message: Being machine gunned, plane af1re, S O s.
 "The aggression of which the Air France Qine) plane was the victim must have occurred when the plane flew through barrages during bat tie of English and Italian warships.
 An Easy Target
 From information gathered it is learned that two British airplane carriers had sent up pursuit squad rons. The Air France plane was unarmed and slow and was an easy target.
 Italian authorities immediately notified the Turin armistice commis- sion which sent planes to make an active seardch. French planes which left Tunis also flew over the scene but their search was in vain. The same vain results followed a search by the French destroyer Buffon.
 Later we learn much debris has been discovered, including an unused life boat of an Air France plane
 If the French government did not make this sad news of one of its best servants known earlier it was because 1t was hoped until the last that some passengers had been picked up by warships or other ship ping in that vicinity.
 All Are Gone
 To-day, on information furnished us, alas, leaves no doubt. The Air France plane has been a total loss with its passengers and crew. The Farman plane carried Chiappe as the only passenger. The French government bows in grief to all the victims. It desires to render a last homage to Jean Chiappe. great ser want of 8 state whose civil courage and devotion never were appealed to in vain. His disappearance will be cruelty felt by us all. In the same sentiment of gratitude the govern ment associates in that homage the pilot of the plane and his crew who have given countless proof of devo- tion to duty and who found in the skies that death they have so many times risked."

 Searchers had heard no sound to indicate that the trapped men were alive
 Members of one group of rescue workers narrowly escaped injury when a mass of rock evidently loos- ened by the explosion fell near them Five were brought out of the mine later, unconscious. They encoun- tered gas.
 The disaster was the second in Ohio this year and the third in the Ohio-West Virginia area. Seventy two men died last March in an ex- plosion in the Willow Grove mine of the Hanna Coal Co.,, and earlier in the year 92 perished in mine of the Pocahontas Coal Corp, at Bartley, w. Va.
