In;, en route to , Washington with the
first consignment , of mail to be deliv

j America's first aerial post service be-
i came a reality today. Skimming the
skies between Washington and New
! York, airplanes which started from the
I two cities simultaneously, carried con-
slgnments of mall at the rate of 100
I miles an hour and 24 cents an ounce,
i And the Institution of the service
I marked another step in the record of
I achievements since 1832, when the sen
; ate boasted that letters had "been
, brought from New York, a distance of
j J60 miles. In 36 hours."

II m ill wiii 1 1 vi 1 1 via .u htou uuurs.
, The air route will effect a saving of at
j least two hours In the delivery of mall
i at terminals, but a much greater saving
will be made on account of the special
; delivery features in - the cities, and
earlier train connections. In some ln
stances, according to the postofflce of
ficials, tie saving may amount to as
much as IS hours, by making connection
( which will avoid delivery the following
day.

Hit at Cambrai
DR. EARL V. MORROW,
Mecorated by .Belgian
king, wounded -during
recent German drive in sector
in which his hospital stands.
Portland Surgeon at Cambrai
During Battle, Says
Dispatch.
Dr. J. W. Morrow received telegraphic
advices this morning from the adjutant
general that his son. Dr. Earl V. Mor
row, had been wounded in action at
Cambrai on May 2. The extent of the
wounds was not stated. The father has
telegraphed Senator Chamberlain and
war department for more particulars.
Dr. Earl Morrow has been in France
about a year in charge of the first aid
hospital at Cambrai. Soon after the
war broke out in 1914 .he went to Bel
glum at the head of a Red Cross unit,
and for several months was In charge
of a hospital at LaPanne, where the
wounded from the first great drive of
the Oermans were brought for emer
gency treatment. For his service there
and at other points on the Belgian front
Morrow received the rank of chevalier
and was decorated by King Albert with
the order of King Leopold, a massive
gold medal, which he brought home with
him on his return.
It is assumed that Morrow's wound
was received during a bombardment of
the hospital, although the telegram used
the words, "wounded in action."
Morrow is one of the best known doc
tors of the younger generation in Ore
gon, having practiced at Marshfield and
Portland following his graduation from
the University of Oregon medical school
and eastern finishing and post graduate
institutions. He won great renown in
the war zone from his ability as an op
erating surgeon, particularly in speed?
handling of the thousands of wounded
that came Into the hospitals daily dur
ing the early months of the conflict.

Sentiment of People in Vote Cen
ter of Eastern Oregon Indi
cates He Will Carry County
in the Gubernatorial Race.
Candidate Is Stronger Than Ever
in That Part xf State, While
Withycombe Has Lost Much of
the Support He Had There.
By Ralph Watson
Pendleton, Or., May 15. Umatilla
county, the heaviest voting unl, of the
Eastern Oregon district, is going to re
peat on Friday and give Ita vote to
Olcott for governor unless all the por
tents of political sentiment and most of
the prognosticated fall down.
It is Olcott first and Withycombe sec
ond in the majority of the guesses. All
the other candidates are counted out by
practically, if not entirely, unanimous
consent. There is soma Simpson talk
in Pendleton, and a peppering here and
there of Moser. Anderson is negligible
so far as his support goes, while Har
ley is a silent letter in the political al
phabet of the big wheat belt country.
Simpson Makes Good Campaign
All but Olcott and Withycombe are
due to draw many blanks from the out
lying precincts of Umatilla county, Just
as is the case in all of the counties of
the state, home counties and Multnomah
excepted.
. Simpson has made a striking and
spectacular campaign in the cities and
towns, but It is more than probable that
there are hundreds of distant precincts
where the voters do not know who he
is, what he Is running for or that he Is
a candidate at all.
The same thing la true of Moser.
though to a less degree, because of his
long time political activities. It Is also
true to a greater degree, perhaps. In
the case, of Anderson and certainly of
Harley.
It's All Olcott and Wltbyeombe
The result will be. In Umatilla county
and In the state at large, that Olcott
and Withycombe will draw their quota
of votes from every polling place on
Friday, addingtothelr . totals, in a
steady stream; while the engines of; the
other four candidates wlll : continually
skip and miss throughout the by-ways
and distant corners of all the counties.
Mathematically, there . is only one
answer to such a situation, and that Is
the elimination of Simpson, Moser.

BEEF WHOLESALE
1 CENT CHEAPER
Meat Interests Say Public
Turning Down Cheaper Cuts;
Veal Is Plentiful.
Is
By Ryman H. Cohen
The price of beef is down 1 cent a
pound ! -, -T
Announcement to that effect has been
made by local packers, which means that
the price of fcest steer beef at wholesale
is 24 cents a pound instead of 25 cents
as recently quoted. The price of cow
meat also dropped a cent to 23 cents a
pound.
Joe Forstel. city sales manager of the
Union Meat company, reported the lower
prices and said that it was the policy
of the company to meet the changing
conditiona in the price of livestock. He
says that the cost of killing and dressing
cattle has about doubled here during
the last year owing to the higher cost of
labor with shorter hours.
Meat interests say that the public lc
demanding the better class of meats and
is turning down the poorer cuts, which
are considered by experts even better
aa a food than the higher priced stock.
They are passing up the "chucks" for the
loins and better class steaks and s this.
therefore, has caused the price of
'chucks" to drop 3 cents a pound at
wholesale.
This decline in the Drice here waa ex
pected in view of the still lower livestock
prices. 'Portland prices continue several
cents higher than eastern markets al-
inougn livestock vtuuco were aio ma;ner
than here. ,
That the public will benefit by the
heavy supply of country killed calves
that ia passing through the Front street
is indicated by the lower prices forced
for such offerings. Most-of the retail
butchers are reducing their veal "prices
in line with the lower cost at wholesale.
At this time veal is far the cheapest
meat on the market and the public gen
erally Is taking hold.
It Is the only meat that la sold under
a really competitive pasts in the trade
and-a big supply means an Instant re
duction in prices at retail as well aa
wholesale. r Packers state that the big
supply of veal has curtailed to a- con
siderable extent the demand for other
meats.

German and Austrian Emperors
Conclude Military Alliance of
Widest Interpretation; Eco
nomic, Tariff Questions Wait.
View Is Taken That Austria Has
Been Compelled to Subordi
nate Itself to German Control
to Save Monarchy From Fall.
- Zurich, May 15. I. N. S.) The new
AuBtro-German alliance, just entered
Into at a conference of the German and
Austrian emperors at German grand
headquarters, is to endure for 25 years,
according to advices received here today.
The sovereigns have concluded a mil
itary union In the widest acceptance of
the term, the advices stated. The
economic and tariff questions will be
settled with a view to the closest possible
union.
, By J. W. T. Mason
New Tork, May 15. (U. P.) Internal
conditions in Austria-Hungary have be
come so critical that the government of
the Hapsburgs' empire has been com
pelled to subordinate Itself to German
control in what is apparently a final ef
fort to prevent the breaking up of the
dual monarchy.
The visit of Emperor Karl to the kai
ser's field headquarters and announce
ment that new treaties are being drawn
up between Austria-Hungary and Ger
many, mean that Karl and the ruling
caste at Vienna are abandoning the sov
ereign rights of their country because
they cannot control the domestic situa
tion. Hereafter the German government
will dictate Austro-Hungary's policies
as long as the method of suzerain rule
keeps the Austro-Hungarlans from re
volt.
The food situation in the dual mon
archy, as well as the attitude of Vienna
toward the German peace in the east,
will be under management of the Ber
lin militarists; and for the time being
Emperor Karl must be regarded as little
more -than a viceroy .1'.' This sacrifice
made by the Hapsburgs, the proudest
ruling house in fCurope. can have been
accepted only as a last desperate ex
pedient to save itself, perhaps even
from the fate of the Romanoffs. The
change of front Is all the more humil
iating to Hapsburg pretensions because
