JETEEN COUNTRIES wper Read in Great Britain Foretells Futare — Tondon, Augfl 4—A most interest- 1g and instructive paper was read efore the International Air Congress pcently in session in London, by rigadier-General F. H. Willlamson, Arector of postal services of the Brit- th government. General Williamson predicted that se United States, Canada, the West adies and other parts of the North merican continent would soon be nked up by air with Great Britain. lonnecting air lines would also run » Egypt, India, The Straits Settle- \ents, Australia, New Zealand, and frica. “It is not rash to predict,” 1id he, “that the next generation will se its railways and its steamships applemented by a complete system of smmunication by air.” General Willlamson said the Calro- tagdad air mall service, now in oper- tion, saved 20 days over the old land sute which ran via Bombay, Karachi nd the Perslan Gulf. The mail planes pvered the 850 miles in a single day. Discussing the future of mail trans- ort by air, the speaker sald that the onveyance of the whole of the mails v air was an unlikely development nless and until there is a very mark- d change in the cost of air transport, ad in the financial limitations under shich postal services are compelled | » work, limitations which require sme sort of proportion between the ostage charged and the cost of trans- ort. “Moreover,” the general added, “an ssential condition of mall service is sgularity under all conditions, in all reathers, and at all times of the year. ; 18 commonly assumed that if a rethod of transporting mails can be evised which is considerably more ipid, even if more expensive, than nything already in existence, there 1 an immediate public demand that it o used for the carriage of mails. here is, of course, some truth in ais; but the experience of the post frice indicates that the importance ttached to the mere speed of mail | ommunication can easily be exag- ar the col co! sal ki th th co! co di to ju ot! di “T¢ s probable, ‘therefore, that for Vlong time to come air mails must e limited to urgent correspondence n which a special fee is charged, and 28t such eorrespondence will only be | relatively small fraction of the to- il mall. The actual volume of air \ail carried will depend on three fac- ors, regularity, gain in time, and o8t of conveyance; that is, exactly the yme conditions as those on which be development of passenger and pods traffic will depend, and to thich the technical development of ommercial aviation must be di- seted.” SAYS SCANDAL IS HUSHED. | Visconsin Semator Governor Rlocked Legislative Inquiry. + The Associated Press.

Louisville, Ky., Aug. 4—The voters of Kentucky in the state primary to- day were expected to indicate wheth- er they favored repeal of the state law legalizing parimutuel betting on horse races. The lssue was brought to the front in a contest between Congressman Al- ben W. Barkley and J. Campbell Can- trill of the First and Seventh districts respectively, for the democratic nom- ination for governor to oppose Charles 1. Dawson, the republican nominee in the November election. Mr. Barkley has attacked the pari- mutuel law on the ground that race track interests seek to control state politics. Mr. Cantrill has argued that repeal of the law would be a death blow to the thoroughbred industry of the state. HELD AS COUNTERFEITER. Seize Plates.
