By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 6.—Ample proof that travel by air has now reached the same luxurious standards as travel by land was given in the seventh an- nual aero salon held here. No longer need prospective air trav- elers hesitate for lack of convenience, comfort and, experts say, also safety. Danger from fire and engine trouble has been reduced to a minimum by the latest inventions in aviation. Pro- moters of continental air transporta- tion guarantes ~smoother ~travel through the air at speed of 125 miles an hour than is possible to experience on even the slowest of trains. The airplane will play a most im- portant part in the Red Cross work of future wars. Air operating rooms with full equipment and air ambu- lances for less urgent cases are a2 practical reality. Several unusual ma- chines were shown to prove this, one a complete aero hospital, accommodat- ing two lents on stretchers, a doc- tor and an assistant with complete operating necessities including a table. The newest stabilizing appli- ances permit the surgeon to operate while the machine goes through space at 100 miles an hour. There were sev- eral air ambulances with space for two or four wounded soldliers. The last word in de luxe air travel is a tremendous machine bulilt to car- ry twenty-four passengers at a speed of 130 miles an hour. It is a veritable “air limited” with all the features of an American transcontinenta] express except the observation platform. It contains a bathroom, a smoking room with card tables, comfortable lounge chairs which are made into beds for night travel, card tables, a kitchen- ette, icebox and stove. Room is also provided for & crew of three. Increased size in wings is provided on all late machines as means of in- creasing stability. Some of the pas- senger machines have lookout cabins for observers and one machine has two tall seats for experienced air travelers. ———— will assemble for muster at its head- quarters, Tuesday evening, Decem- ber 27.

Life imprisonment would be applied in cases where the penalty of death is ‘The holding back of dues ma- terially interferes with the work of our good camps. No argument or ‘Robert’s Rules’ are needed on this point. On the other hand, the prompt payment of dues, particularly in ad- eral, penses of the year are more easily attained. “We are now coming to the joyous season of the year and nearef to that doctrine of peace on earth, good will to men, than has been for yesrs. We tope and pray that the good blood shed by our many comrades in the wars will not have been in vain, and Abraham Lincoln sald, ‘with malice toward none, with charity for all, irmness in the right as God gives us’'to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, his widow and orphans; to @o all which may achieve and cherish just afd lasting peace among our- seives, and with all*nations.’” “General orders, No. 5, are hereby promulgated from department head- quarters, 408 Twelfth street north- east, with Christmas greetings to all.
