AIR SHIPS CAN CRUISE
NOW FOR 4,000 MILES
LONDON, Dec. 19.-For the imme
diate future, according to further ex
tracts from the reports just completed
by the Civil Aerial Transport Commit
tee of the Air Board, the commercial
airship offers a great advantage over
the airplane, particularly concerning
passengers where comfort and ease of
navigation, safety and a high ratio of
disposable life are vital considerations.
Airships now exist, the report says,
with a range of more than 4.000 miles,
and they can travel at a speed of sev-
enty-eignt miles an hour. By running
their engines slower a maximum range
of 8.000 miles can be obtained.
On first speed Cape Town, South
Africa, is todav aerially only a little
more than three days from Southamp

Atlantic and return without stopping.

Happily has this Christmas Eve been
chosen by the American Red Cross to
appeal once more to the people of this
country for the needed funds to carry
on its humanitarian work.
The Red Cross has done more than
all other organizations to soften the as
perity of the bitter conflict and to as
suage its cruelties. It feeds the hun
gry and clothes the naked; it gives
shelter to the homeless and consolation
to the bereaved.
The American Red Cross has built in
this country a platform where all re
ligions and and all races find strength
and kinship. Necessity alone is the
open sesame in its ministrations.
One memory is sure .to survive the
war. It is the consciousness of the
blessed and kindly work during these
years by the American Red Cross. In
these brighter days it will be for each
of us a privilege and a joy to give
generous support to the Red Cross and
help develop its efficiency, and make
more kindly its ministrations.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. For the
first time in years the United States
senate yesterday bowed its head to the
opening prayer of a Jewish rabbi. Rev.
Dr. Gustave N. Hausmann, author, of
New York City, opened the session
with a thanksgiving prayer of peace,,
and a plea that American people com
port themselves modestly in victory.
Rabbi Hausmann opened the session
at an invitation extended by Senator
William M. Caldcr, of New York. The
prayer follows :
"Merciful God and Heavenly Father,
Thou who didst grant unto us the priv
ilege of being victorious on the side of
right against might ; Thou who didst
choose America to enlighten the na
tions of the earth; Thou who didst en
dow us with the gift and spirit of
democracy, we beseech Thee to con
tinue to guide and lead us. Make us
worthy of these blessings. May our
victories, triumphs and successes not
make us arrogant and haughty. May
it not be said of this new-chosen nation
vvnat was sata ot tne ancient cnosen
people: 'But Jeshurin waxed fat, and
wicked then he forsook
the God which made him, and lightly
esteemed the Rock of his salvation.'
'"Bless. Oh God, this great republic
with abundance and honor, with peace
and good will.
Thee to bless, shield, and protect the
president r.f the United States, the
crusader of modern democracy. Bless
the congress of the United States of
America, that it may truly exemplify
democracy, equality and justice. May
the deliberations at the peace confer
ence abroad result for the great bene
fit of humanity and redound to the
honor of this nation. May Thy name
thus be glorified in and through us."

facilities for producing mustard gas
at the rate of 100 tons a day, to say
nothing of our resources for deluging
our enemies with chloririe, phosgene,

Colonel Bradley Dewey, commanding
officer of the Gas Defense, reported that
in May, 1917, production of gas masks
was started by a group of five volun
teers. In eight weeks they had shipped
20,000 masks. He said there had been
produced in this country, up to the time
of the armistice, 5.000,000 masks, 3,

masks, and quantities of mustard gas
