THE EEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1919. 1i 1 OK AIR MAIL SERVICE IN PLAN OF DEPARTMENT ' Route Between New York and . Gate City in Project for i .Which Appropriation Is Sought. ; Washington, Jan. 10. Assistant .'ostmaster-General Praeger at a ; hearing today before the senate postoffice committee urged appro ' priations of $3,000,000 for the main tenance and development of the . aerial mail service. He predicted a t great future for this service and ae clared that extensive plans for de : yeloping aerial mail facilities are be ; ing made by France, England and Canada, the last named now plan ' ning the establishment of an air ; plane route connecting Montreal with Boston. Extension of the present air mail service between Washington and ! New York so as to connect Boston with Atlanta is planned, Mr. Praeger said. In addition, it is al ! so proposed to establish routes con- necting New York and Omaha via Chicago and Boston with Detroit through Albany and Buffalo. Es- tahlishment of these routes, he said, ' would cost $2,034,000, while he esti- amted the revenues would total i 52,050,125. ' v Unable to Assume Duties. ' ' Lincoln, Jan. 10. (Special.) !

Millions of Letters for SoldiersOverseas Remain Undelivered Washington, Jan. 10. Blame for delays in the transmission of mail to and fom soldiers overseas was placed on the War department to day by Second Assistant Postmas ter General Praeger in testimony before the senate postoffice com mittee. Most of'the trouble, he said, was due to "carelessness" on the part of military officials and the War department's failure to co operate with the postal authorities. "Probably millions of letters ad dressed to soldiers overseas, which have accumulated and have not been delivered, will arrive in New York wjthin a few days," Mr. Prae ger said, "and 'will be sent to the dead letter office, where an attempt will be made to return them to the writers." Mr. Praeger said a re port from a postoffice inspector in France said that eight or 10 car loads of mail in France have not been delivered. Mr. Praeger said one way to im prove conditions overseas would be to send a force of experienced mail clerks to France to deliver the mail to the soldiers. "The trouble do$s not lie at tlie French ports," declared Mr. Prae ger. "It lies in the interior. The mail gets tied up somewhere be tween army headquarters, censors and the ports." Stock Bubble Pricked by Texas Land Authority Dallas. Tex., Jan. 10. Sensational advances on the New York stock market of Texas and Pacific Land Trust certificates are probably due to a mistaken belief that the lands are owned by the Texas and Pa cific Coal and Gas company or are in the new found Texas oil fields, in the opinion of W. H. Abrams, for many years land commissioner of the Texas and Pacific railroad. He said that most of the land was in wild territory and two-thirds of it was west of the Pe'cos and Rio Grande rivers. The certificates were issued on unsold land grant tracts several years ago to the bond holders. The certificates went up 37 points on the New York stock market Wednesday and 30 points more, yesterday.
