INTERNATIONAL AIR
f SERVICE IS PLANNED
Plans Are Being Worked Out by
French Government—May be
Inaugurated Soon.
(By The Associated Press!
{PARIS May 7.—Elaborate plans fur in-
ternational air service are now being work-
* ed out by the French government and it is
probable that some of them will be inaugur-
t ated soon after the Peace Conference* has
finished work and promulgated its decision
I for the control of aviation. In addition
France will establish air routes which will
be entirely within her own boundaries and
| therefore under her control alone.
«« Obc! «£-tho most pretentions sc he mes is
that for a service which will run 'London
- Paris Marseilles. Rome. Naples. Ilrindisie
I Constantinople. Another line will be es-
tablshed between Paris and Moroeeco and
Paris and Madrid probably will be linked
up.
There are at present two services out of
Paris one to London and the other to Lille
and Brussels. The former is at the moment
for military business only but plans have
bert laid down for a service that will benefit
the general public. So far there is no in-
tention to make this a passenger service
but the feasibility is l*eing discussed of
sending telegrams and special delivery let-
ters between the two capitals by air. It
takes only about three hours for the trip so
that a telegram could be delivered quicker
in this manner than by wire. It is probable
' that a charge of perhaps three francs would
b* made for the carrying of letters.
The line between Paris and Brussels is
for passengers and an airplane is making
one trip a week each way. The fare is
about three hundred francs. This service
is private^enterprise run by one of the big
airnlane firms although it is government
controlled.
Two other firms are about to start simi-
lar services with the permission of the
government. In view of this it is probable
that no regular government service will be
established although of course military
airplanes are carrying supplies and <li>
patches to the front daily. TM.e time re-
quired to fly to Brussels from Paris is
about two and a half hours.
MAKING ARTIFICIAL LEGS
FOR THE BALKAN PEOPLES
American Superintendent and F
U. S. Superintendent and Workers
* n Open Plant at Athens.
a —
(By The Associated Press>
ATHENS May 7.—The Balkan commis-
sion of the American Red Cross has brought
to Athens an American superintendent and
asistants with supplies in the rough fur
the making of artificial legs. At a Greek
workshop in Athens American worsmen
are making American artificial limbs and
are instructing Greek workmen in the art.
The American workmen have taken tern
porary charge of the school for the muti-
lated of the Groek army until a Greek sup-
erintendent and Greek workmen can be
trained to take over the plant. The arti-
ficial legs will be fitted and given to Greek
soldiers. It is the intention of the Greek
government to see that every soldier who
needs one is provided with an American
artificial leg.
Artificial limbs weighing only four ounc-
es are now being supplied to hundred of
mutHuted soldiers who formerly had crude
peg legs and cumbersome twenty-pound
limbs of another pattern. The joy of these
men in being able to once more move
around easily is daily expressed in the
American Red Cross workshops by dancing
about on their new limbs with expressions
of gratitude which if it were not so pitiful
would be amusing.
As a corollary jmrt of this work tl** Am-
erican Red Cross also is supporting a sch. ol
for the re-education of the mutilated. At
this school the disabled are being taught
useful trades of all kinds including tailor-
ing shoemaking carpentering metal work-
ing basketry and stenography and typing.
For this latter work a large number of
American typewriter with Greek characters
are needed.
MEXICO WILL REBUILD THE
PALACE OF THE CONQUEROR
In Court Yard Are Ancient Trees
Under Which He Rested.
(Itjr Tlir A'•<*«• tat«*»1 Press)
MEXICO CITY May G.—The palace « f
Cortez in the suburbs of Coyoncun is to
be reconstructed by the government and
used as a museum for relics of the Spanish
conquest. The structure 400 years old.
has been allowed.to fall into ruins. In the
court yard are ancient trees under which
Hernan Cortez and his familiars were wont
to rest. These are hundreds of years older
than the ancient building itself. The chapel
attached to the palace is still in good condi-
tion. *
TRAIN HAULED 320 MILLIONS
OF MARKS FOR THE BELGIANS
Escort of 100 Soldiers and a Ma-
oiine Gun Provided.
BRl SSEI.S .May 7.—The official train
from Germany which transported to lirus
sels 220 million mark* in gold also carried
J00 million marks in thousand-mark bank-
notes. M»*t of these are to be < xchanged

demand from the Reischbank which lacks
banknotes of small amounts.

gold was escorted by 100 soldier . and a
machine giin was pevv oji en< 1 i
