HUNT Adee wasttnaron Dec. 21.—Althe Uncle Sam's aerial army is still only in process of organization and devel- opment, and is just beginning to take its place in force on the fighting field in France, a study is being made of possible after-the-war uses for our thousands of aeroplanes and trained aviators. It is hoped that, at the end of the war, this immense organization can be turned immediately inte prof itable peace-time pursuits, This study is being undertaken by 2 special committee of the national advisory committee of aeroutica, Chairman Durand hopes to be able to map out comprehensive, but thoroly practicable program, by which our war planes and aviators can at once be put to work after the war, in the mail service, in coast guard and patrol work and in direct transportation. Of the need for developing such an organ ized program, Durand says: “The first and most obvious use of aeroplanes in the future lies in the delivery of mails. Al ready congress has ap) $100,009 for initial steps in aerial mail delivery and the war department has agreed, subject to congressional, to turn over to the postal service all planes no r adaptable to military use, xtensive plans already -guarding by and for mepping the nited States from the Vessels in distress at sea can be located and derelicts de- stroyed most easily from the air, Congress has authorized 10 coast guard air stations, and these will be organized as soon men and machines are avail- able, a possible achievements of ait anes in speed and distance seem to be limited only by the imagination, Already planes have been built to carry 25 passengers; to travel 150 miles an hour; to ascend four and one-half miles high; to cover 920 miles without a stop. Such proofs of power and endurance indicate that commercial aviation is so close at hand that its problems must be foreseen PLAN TO | OCCUPY SIBERIA Japan is anxious to strike ording to advices here This information, coupled with Russian publication agreement to pounce on any in China, created a profound impression in official and diplomatic circles. re said to favor the Siberian |move, in view of the possibility of Teuton domination of all They pointed out that the Amer- Vladivostok had claimed there is need for Confirmation of the Russo-Japanese pact was not im- owever, it was stated that in- China is now concerned, the Japanese are discourag- and that of- rward with a view to Ameri- hina’s military, economic and it was suggested, will be the determ- factor in the decision as to whether Japanese troops
