PLANES TO PICK UP MAIL ON THE WING Success of the Cleveland-Chicago airmail route, may lead to the inauguration of a route between Omaha and St Louis this fall, the Postoffice Department announced today. The report also stated that experiments are now being made to deliver and take aboard mail bags while the airplane is in flight.

This, it Is be-i licved, can be done by the airplane swooping down close to earth and snatching the mail bags from specially prepared apparatus. Another scheme it was stated, is to drop mail and possibly take on mail from roofs of buildings. If either of these prove practical, it will be possible on the Xew York-Washington route, to make nonstop runs, eerving both Philadelphia and Baltimore and a the same time eliminating 35-minute stops at each place. COBLENZ, June 23. German cannon boomed in Coblenz in connection with the religious celebration of Corpus Christl day.

permission having been granted by the Americans to fire a certain number of shots, according to ancient custom, during the bestowal of the sacramental benediction, as the procession passed through the streets. During the hours of the procession the movements of American supply trucks, on their way to the cast bank of the Rhine, in connection with the troop concentration due to the uncertainty of the peace situation, were diverted to other routes by the military police. Blank charges in mortars, relics of the eighteenth century, were fired at the moment of the benediction near altars at different points, as the procession moved through the streets, shots echoing and re-echoing among the hills along the Rhine, which swarmed with khaki-clad soldiers preparing to advance farther into Germany, if the peace conditions are finally rejected. Not desiring to interfere in any way with the religious celebration, the Americans not only suspended traffic in certain of the principal streets of Coblenz. but supplied powder for charging the mortars fired by the priests.

The Corpus Chr.sti procession was not held last year due to fear of daylight bombing raids by allied aviators. Oopyrlxht: 1919: ByJohnT.McCntcheon.l NO YANK NSURANC DROWVS SHLP "WITH DEER.

Finding, on arival. that one company had been separated from the others, he personally returned through the barage and lod the company to its place.

In going through the barage the third time he was severely wounded in the neck, but held his post of duty for sixteen hours before lie received atention. Lieutenant Hamond. while com manding his platon in the Thirty-ninth infantry, broke up a German counter attack at Montfaucon. then discovering a party of Americans being led away as prisoners, he rescued them with a small detachment and though so badly wounded in the chest so that he could not proced further, he urged his men on and was suc-cesful in the movement. Lieutenant Hammond was decorated In France on June 14, and has since returned to this country, where he was discharged.

He has made his home at times with his uncle at 2001 Kalorama road. Major Snow, soon after graduation, was detailed for duty with the Second engineers at the border, and went on the punitive expedition into Mexico with Pershing.

The number of Mudents to graduate this year i.i slightly above the normal, according to hool the fa-t that the army, navy am marine cirp. took many of the boys during thr war, and the Government service an unusually large number. It indicated that the attendance at the schools will be increased by Fie thousands next fall, both as a result of the normal increase, and the fact that the pupils in the military, naval, and Government service are planning to leturn to their studies. The high marks being leceived by many of the students in tnrir examinations, say school officials, constitute a striking tribute to the capability of the teachers who have guided the 57.000 boys and girls through the school year.

Very few of the children will be kept hack in their present grade when school starts next fall, according to reports received by the Doard of Education.

Most of our men and girls arc working, and those not working are being taken care of by our financial committee. Our finances arc in good shape, so we can hold out a year, if necessary, until we win the strike." President McDonald, of the local branch of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union, said the outlook for victory was bright, and the union men had nothing to worry about. The of the Postal Company and the Western Union declared today they were taking care of their business, and the strikers could stay out forever, so far as they were concerned. 'harles H.
