Munich Stores Cease Ad-

Munich. Bavaria Dec. 9. (Asso-
ciated Press.) Munich looks much
less changed after four years of war
than those who knew it would have
thought possible. The city appears
far livelier and gayer than two and
a half or three years ago. when the
correspondent ivislted It. Part of this
impression is unquestionably due to
the profusion of Bavarian -German
flags everywhere emphasized by the
red banners of the socialists. Al-
though fairly dark in the evening
because coal must be saved the streets
are crowded during the early hours-
Restaurants are open and a fairly
palatable imitation of beer is served.
It is in minor details that changes
are most apparent at first glance.
For instance even many of the larger
restaurants and prominent hotels nave

the work srenerally has been done so
ineffectually that the letters stare
out from beneath coats of black

coils of steel.
The streets are as clean as ever
and the stores as before although
filled with articles the prices of
which would have been unoenevaoxe
four years ago.
Food nentlinl lis pensive.
Food apparently is obtainable easily
in restaurants although expensive.
The suffering seems to fall heavily
on the poor people. Food now is
more plentiful than a month ago be-
cause the signing of the armistice
brought oat stocks which have been
held In reserve. The people are per-
haps paler than their wont but the
street crowds appear to be warmly
dressed and give no sign of suffering.
The most interesting ieaxure oi jiu-
nih as in every other German city

egation Meets With Men
Mapping Mail Eoute.
At a luncheon tendered Slaj. Albert
Smith commander of the aerial sqdad-
ron which is mapping an aerial mail
route from coast to coast at the Paso
del Norte Monday noon by the mili-
tary committee of the chamber of
commerce Maj. Smith said:
"In regard to CI Paso's chance of
being- designated as one of the per-
manent landing places of the proposed
aerial mall route I cannot yet make
any positive statement but will say
that El Paso possesses every edvan-
tage for a permanent landing1 place
for aviators."
o Definite Statement.
Maj. Smith said he was under the
Impression that a record had been
broken In their flight from Deming
X. 1L Sunday morning. "The air line
distance from Deming to El Paso Is a
little over 0 miles" said Maj. Smith
"but in our flight we made a circuit-
ous route to avoid the mountains cov-
ering 100 miles In 40 minutes; and
while I do not care to make a definite
statement I am under the impression
that we broke a flying record. I am
positive that we at least equaled any-
thing made previously."
Those- present at the luncheon were
Maj. Albert Smith In charge of the
squadron; Lieut. Robert Worthlngton:
mayor Chas. Davis chairman of cham-
ber of commerce military committee:
a M. Newman Z. T. White H. B. Mc-
Dowel O. C Coles president of the
chamber and C. E. Stratton. manager
of the local telephone company.
The birdmen left the field at Dem-
Ing Sunday morning at 8:30 oclock
and arrived in El Paso at 9:35. where

Port Bliss. Five minutes were utilized
in circling and setting a course mak-
ing the actual flight time 40 minutes.
A letter from the mayor of San
Diego CaL to mayor Charles Davis
was delivered by Maj. Smith upon his
arrival here Sunday. The letter said?'
"I take pleasure in sending you the
greetings of the people of San Diego
CaL by the first letter ever delivered
by aerial transportation between two
of the best hustling young cities in
America. Enclosed are they keys of
this city and my own personal re-
gards. Sincerely
1 J. Wild."
The two keys had a picture of Camp
Kearney on the" handle and the re-
mainder of them bore the legends:
"Business Is good; "Ask the Mayor;"
and "Don't Knock. Come In."
Instructions to proceed to Wash-
ington were received by Maj Smith
after his arrival here. At 8 oclock.
Tuesday morning the planes will leave
the field at Fort Bliss and proceed to
Carlsbad Tex. and then to San An-
tonio. Maj. Smith's party consists of Maj.
James It McKee flight surgeon;
Lieut. James Evans official photog-
rapher; Lieut Robert Worthington
commander of aerial gunnery at Rock-
well field; Lieut. Hubert D. McLean;
Lieut Albert Pyle and two mechani-
cians; Sergts. Lewis and Blanton. will
be the first military aviators to cross
the continent
One accident so far has marred the
flight A machine piloted by Lieut
Bruce Johnson became lost from the
others on the start in a desert fog
and landed at El Centre CaL Instead
of Calexico. Then in attempting to fol-
low the instructions he received to
join the party at tbe latter place his
machine collided with a telephone
pole wrecking the plane to such an
extent that he was obliged to return
to San Diego
C E. Stratton manager of the local
telephone company kept In touch with
the flight of the aviators to El Paso
Sunday getting reports on the prog-
ress of their flight from the several
telephone stations along the line.
The planes which are scheduled to
leave here for the east Tuesday morn-
ing may take the air late today If
the necessary repairs to them can be
made in time. The aviators are anx-
ious to continue their Journey which
they have made so far in record time
and will therefore make their depar-
ture as soon as possible.
To Take Aerial Picture.
It was announced at the chamber
of commerce later in the afternoon
