TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX,, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1019. U.S. I S0UT0NN0W COMPLETELY BROKEN Cross-Country Air Derby Proves Startling Facts. DISTANCES WIPED AWAY General Mitchell Avers Aerial Su premacy of Nation Means Mil itary Control of the World. "WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 Completion of the transcontinental air derby plainly demonstrates that the isola tion of the United States with respect ot Asia, and Kurope is completely broken down." Brigadier-General Will iam Mitchell, chief of operations of the army "air service, declared in a Btatenient last night to the Associated Press. "The air line distance covered." said General Mitchell, "is 5402 miles, in less than 50 hours of actual flying time. It is as far as from Constan tinople to New York; from Berlin to Denver; from Tokio to San Francisco and twice the distance from Europe to America. "From a military aspect thera no longer can be any doubt t.baX a- com plete control of the air by any na tion means miiitary control of the world. From the standpoint of dis tance. Asia is only divided from America by 21 miles of water across Bering strait, while the greatest dis tance that has to be covered over water between the American conti nent and Europe is scarcely over 300 miles if the route through Canada. Greenland, Iceland, the islands north of Great Britain, to Great Britain itself is followed." System Explained. "The rapidity with which the air dromes were established In this race across the continent shows that air dromes can be established with equal rapidity for long stretches by any other nation. A rigid dirigible airship can carry 10 tons of cargo now, be sides its crew, fuel for a Jong trip and armament for its defense, 10 tons of material will keep a thousand air planes working for one day. If an Asiatic or European country desires to attack America a system of airdromes could be established suc cessively, a defense organized against land or sea elements and the air ships concentrated on them success fully, while their supply could be in sured by the Erreat rigid dirigibles working within their own countries. Navies in Second Place. "This is not only possible, but al most a sure accompaniment of the '.next war and will be resorted to by the nation gaining control of the air. This manner of procedure will prac tically negative navies Insofar as their abill to de 1 the first blow is concerned.

Mayor Baker's Tuxedo Big Scream at Banquet. t'hanee in Plana Makes Rxecutive (ionf of Elks' Dubisa. (iQAY Fn O Berg. Frank." suggested Julius J. exalted ruler of the Port land LodKe of Elks, "what do you say if we change the plans and go to the banquet tonight and the meet ing as well in our street clothes in stead of our tuxedos?" Frank w.as Frank L. Rain, grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Klks. vho was a visitor in Portland Saturday. Inci dentally, in connection with the ban quet and meeting in question, it had been previously agreed that all speak ers and officers of the grand lodge would appear at both functions in the hcicht of fashion. "(Josh, if you fellows are willing to forget the finery, nothing would suit me better than leaving my street clothes on," answered the chief mogul of the Order of Elks. And because the entire lot of grand lodge officers and presumably the entire lot of men who were scheduled to speak were present when the con versation was in progress It was agreed that street clothes would be the dress for all at the two func tions planned for the grand exalted ruler. Some days previously Mayor George i.. Baker, himself a loyal Elk, had been requested to speak at the ban quet and meeting, and he accepted, and emphasis was placed on the in struction that he appear in his dinner coat. Gorgeously arrayed, immaculate and trim ws the tuxedo of Mayor Baker hen e entered the banquet room at the Benson hotel. "Where did you get It?" and "Look, the head waiter is with us," was the chorus which greeted his honor as he ambled to his seat, recognizing that he alone was decked out to meet any personage from Senator Johnson to the King of Belgium. But when one Bill yelled out "Why don't you inscribe 'Vote for the 11 mill measure.' on the white front, George." the mayor stood up and ex plained that he had dressed according to instructions and that the remainder of the speakers had suddenly "got cold feet." RICHES LIE IN CITIZENSHIP MRS. Ml'MM, RE-AMERICANIZED, GETS RIGHT TO ESTATE. German ITusband's Property In France, Worth $20,000,000, Near Confiscation. (Copyright by the New York World.

PLOT IN LEAGUE CHARGED Senator Reed Says Europeans Plan World Domination. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. The league of nations was characterized as a "combination of great powers to im pose their will upon the world" by Senator Reed of Missouri, at a meet ing tonight in opposition to the league, at Madison Square garden. "Scales are beginning: to fall from the eyes of the people," he said. "They see that the league of nations is a mere conspiracy of power by which the British empire, France, Italy and Japan are to undertake to dominate the world and impress their will upon other nations and gather to them selves the profits of military expedi tion and force in which the United States is to furnish the men and money and guarantee the success of their enterprise."

Official News Chopper Discards Scissors for More Congenial Work of Peace. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by 'raneement.) PARIS, Oct. 19. (Special Cable.) At length the French censorship, both political and military, has been abol ished. Commander Nusillard, who for five years held the ungrateful post of chief censor, willingly put down his pen on the day France ratified Its peace treaty. Then for the first time he opened his heart to newspaper men to recall his experiences. Hitherto he would flash a huge pair of scissors at any correspondent who dared to question him about his work. He was also skillful in manipulating a chisel, which he used in cases of extreme urgency to make holes in newspapers. Today he is busy counting the gray hairs in his head, which, prac tically, is all he got out of his job. "Yes, it is all over," he said to the World correspondent when seen the day following the censoring of the censorship. "I can hardly believe it. What a time I've had and how heavy my head feels! I am glad to get out, but sorry to part with my co-workers in the office, among whom are judges, lawyers, authors. playwrights and high officers of the French and allied armies. Equally sorry am I to part with good friends among the corre spondents for I had plenty of them in spite of the divergencies of our views." D'AIUNZIO WARNS FOES HOSTILITY TO CAUSE OF FI UME MEANS DEATH. Most Rigorous Martial Law to Be Invoked in Dealing With Per sons Under Suspicion. FIUME, Oct. 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Gabriele d'Annunzio flas announced that the most rigorous martial law will be invoked in deal ing with persons suspected of being unfavorable to the Fiume cause. "The city of Fiume will be con sidered as a fortress in time of war, the announcement says. "Whoever professes sentiments hostile to the cause of Fiume will be considered a public enemy and the penalty of death will be immediately carried out." Taken literally, ft is pointed out in some quarters, the decree would automatically make the Croats ene mies of the d'Annunzio cause, but the belief is expressed that only those who actually carry on a cam paign against the d'Annunzio regime will be affected.

MINERS' STRIKE LOOMS 500,000 BITUMINOUS WORKERS WANT FIVE-DAY WEEK. Operators Decline to Negotiate Un less Order Calling Walkout on . November 1 Is Withdrawn. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. There seemed little hope last night of avert ing the strike of 500.000 bituminous coal miners, called for November 1. After a series of conferences with labor leaders here and telephone talks with others In the central coal terri tory, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, an nounced that the miners would go out unless all demands, including the five-day week were granted. The operators, standing by their decision not to consider any proposal looking to a shorter weekly schedule, and refusing to open negotiations unless the strike order was with drawn, charged that the miners were trying to freeze the country Into sub mission by insisting upon acceptance of impossible demands. "The strike will not be called," Lewis declared. "We will not arbitrate while the strike order stands," said Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the operators' scale committee. Meanwhile pressure was being brought to bear on both sides from many quarters to adjust .their dif ferences and save untold distress. Lewis said there would be enough coal on hand November 1 to keep the country warm 30 days. Secretary Wilson, at whose Invita tion the scale committees of the miners and operators will meet with him here Tuesday, continued to hope that he would be able to bring about peace. BANK HITS SUGAR SALE Sacrifice of 22,000,000 Pounds of Sweetening Is Condemned. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Simultane- usly with the prediction Saturday by Arthur Williams, federal food admin- strator, of a sugar famine in New York by next Tuesday unless the long shoremen s strike is settled, the Har riman National bank published a paid advertisement In an evening paper as serting that the surplus war material recently sold by the United States to France included 22,000,000 pounds of sugar. It Is obvious, said the advertise ment, "that inquiry need go not far to discern the high cost of living is a great measure due to the ineffi ciency of official Washington." The advertisement added that the war material sold for about $400. 000,000 and estimated to be worth 11,760,000.000 included almost every thing In the list essential to our pres ent day needs.

FAST TRAIN TO BE RACED All Operations Centered in Motor, Which Provides Power, Light, Heat, Compressed Air. (Copyright bj- the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 19. (Spe cial.) In the Ford experimental shops at Dearborn, the internal combustion engine with which Henry Ford ex pects to revolutionize street railways of this and other countries, has been given Its initial tests and pronounced ready for installation in a car to race the Wolverine flyer within 40 days. The first street car will be eent over the Michigan Central tracks at the express speed of 70 miles an hour. It will leave ahead of the Wolverine flyer, the fast train between Detroit and Chicago, and will race it for a time record. The power unit which will move the car represents a new combination of functions. It Is a motor, an air com pressor, an electrical generator and a heating and lighting plant all In one. All operations necessary for the control of the- car are centered in the motor. And all this is accomplished with a 75 per cent reduction In weight as compared with the power and con trol equipment of the ordinary elec tric car. The motor is of double-opposed type and generates its own electricity for ignition and lighting. Opposing pis tons are linked to the same throw and entirely new designs of linked rod are used. The power that moves the car also compresses the air for the brakes and generates electric current for the lighting and signal system, while a sirocco fan bolted to the front end of the starter draws air in through the housing of the motor where It is heated and then exhausted through heating pipes to warm the car. The combination includes a whole series of new applications which are of patentable importance and have been adequately protected. Another feature of the new car will be the front and rear drive, the power being transmitted by light flexible shafts to both the front and rear trucks. Ordinary electric cars have only rear truck drives. The power plant of the new tvne of car weighs about 1150 pounds. The whole car, when completed, will weigh aDout seven tons. MILK SCARCE IN BERLIN City Has 200,000 Quarts Daily for 5,000,000 People. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by ArrBnKement.J BERLIN. Oct, 18. (Special cable.) Berlin faces a collapse of its supply of milk. The city, with nearly 5,000, 000 people, is receiving only 200,000 quarts of milk dally, 50.000 less than is needed to feed infants and the sick. Sad to say, too, Berlin confronts a catastrophai shortage of beer. All the north German brewers must shut down soon because they have little malt and hops. The people murmur loudly because of coal shortage. AH Berlin municipal baths are closed down while extravagant bars, cabarets and movies are permitted to run wide open. The coal shortage, however, prtoves a boon to school children of Leipzic. Because of it all the public schools have been consolidated and only one kept open for boys and one for girls. The result is that each child has to attend school only eight hours a week. Other German cities probably will be forced to follow Leipzic's example. Phone your want ada to The Orego nlan.
