WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. It is Hot

beyond the bounds of possibility that - within the next year various aerial freight and passenger services will be In operation on a large scale in various sections of the country. Aerial transportation is no longer considered a commercial hazard and capital is only awaiting Industrial stabilization before proceeding with its general development. Commercial aviation in Europe has

made rapid progress the past two years. Various lines are in operation in France and Germany and a regu lar freight and passenger service between Paris and London has been maintained almost since the close of the war. Aviation Lags In the United States, which gave the airplane to the world, commercial ' aviation has lagged. There are a few aerial services between large cities in operation in this country now, but these services are for the most part, . irregular and not on an extensive scale. -The post office department of , the federal government has been the most active agency in the promotion of commercial aviation. It is steadily increasing the number of its aerial mail routes although congress nas not been particularly generous in its apnrooriations for the service. And the Dost office department has found aeri al transDortation of mail not only practical but economical. It has been reported that one of the contemplated commercial air ser vices calls for the operation of freight and passenger aircraft between St. Louis and the eastern seaboard, one terminal in New York, the other in . Washinerton. This route would be ' over Richmond. Indianapolis and Terre Haute, probably with stations in each city. It has been estimated that : the actual flying time between St. Louis and Washington would be not . more than 12 hours. Makes Fast Time Recently a not particularly speedy : army airplane made a flight from Day- ' ton, Ohio, to Washington in 6 nours and 4a minutes. The airline distance between the two cities is about 450 miles. It requires 17 hours for one ' of the Pennsylvania express trains to mnke the trip from Washington to Davtnn about 550 miles. The recent successful experiments in vrancp and Germany with gnaer3, ' motorless aircraft, will hasten the development of commercial aviation in this country, it is preaictea oy au nantivai authorities here. These ex periments have demonstrated that the aircraft of tomorrow will be able to remain in the air without any unpen tn fnmi. Recently the German Heutzen. remained aloft in his glide for three hours. Expects Development American aeronautical experts as sert that shortly experiments will be made with motorless aircraft in this country which will be rar more astonishing than recent accomplishments with gliders in Germany. American capitalists who are interested in the development of comrrrcial aviation In the United States figure that the cost of operating aircraft will not approximate the cost of operating railroads and steamship lines. There will be no maintenance of way overhead for aerial transporotih that is nne of the heaviest - items of expense the railroads have, i

Equipment costs for aerial transpor-1 oi i,eeas, jngiana, at me tation would be decidedly less than round table discussion on the future equipment costs of the railroads and;Peace work of the Society of Friends the steamship lines.

UN M.HI III A VI Willi VII - UWIIWU 1V7 PROGRESSING RAPIDLY Foundation work on two building projects, the east side junior high school and the indoor field at Earlham college, is progressing rapidly and it is expected by the contractors on each job that the ground work will be completed in another month , The numerous foundations of the east side junior high school building will extend the time of completion of this work more than that on the indoor field.

Free Casualties in the recent se. attack of the Irish Free State troops on the iwbcl a'-ronghold in GHAMBRUN DEFENDS ATTITUDE OF FRANCE IN ASKING PAYMENTS (By Associated Press) WATERFORD, ,Pa., Aug. 30. "France tirelessly pursues the ideal of justice and democracy which is yours," Count Charles de Chambrun, acting counsellor and charge d'affaires, ad interim of the French embassy declared in an addrss today at the unveiling of a monument to George Washington on the site of the historic French fort La Boeuef. The statue represents Washington at the age of 24, when as a Colonel in the Colonial army under Braddock, he visited the fort. "When we claim that our German neighbors, whose factories are as prosperous as ever," asked Count De Chanbrun, "would take their share in the reparation of the damage they have done, is our claim unjustified? When we assert that they who are responsible for the laying waste of a rich country, should, on behalf of reparation pay taxes as heavy as the taxes paid by those who have had their homes destroyed, is there in such a contention any touch of unfairness? There is not an honest man in the world even among our former antagonists .who can conscientiously deny the justice of our claim." Citing "repeated" statements that France's military and naval expenditures "are excessive" Count DeChambrun declared these expenses which are reducing from year to year, are at this moment less "than those of the United States" and "one-half less than those of Great Britain." HARVEY HOPES FOR UNION OF FRIENDS Greetings from the English Friends to the general Friends conference here were expressed by T.

(By Associated Press) ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 30. The wet and dry issue has been dropped, in the congressional contests thus far in Minnesota for the November election, because of an absence of wet candidates.

AH incumbents . including Andrew J. Volstead, have been renominated on the Republican ticket and all are avowedly dry.

The Republican nominees are: First district, Sydney Anderson; Second district, Frank Clague; Third district, Charles R. Davis i Fourth district Oscas E. Keller; Fifth district, Andrew J. Volstead; Eight district, Oscar J. Larson; Ninth district. Halbor Steenerson; Tenth district, Tnomas h.. Schall. The sharpest conflict is expected in the seventh district, where the Rev. O. J. Kvale, Democrat of Benson, probably will oppose Congressman Vol stead. Both are dry. In the third district, Mrs. Lillian Cox Gault is Democratic candidate to'oppose Charles R. Davis, Republican nominee. Mrs. Gault also is dry. There are Democratic candidates in only three other districts and they have not announced a position on the wet and dry issue.
