The World Aloft.
With tate eetubliehinent of contmtt-
t .ficin rates, air travel has become
r au.�la clue„per en the London -Paris
line. It has been arranged that a
I a einese, man in London who goes
i.'te;,x to Paris can buy a season ticket
for 3698. This is good for twelve
trips, saving $12 a trip over the old
site.
American planes will be used in
a.triul transportation lines which are
to re established in Japan, China and
Korea. According to advices re
eeived lay the Aero Club of America,
s. number of the machines which will
'be first put into service are to be
chipped to China by a New York
hanker.
A dash to the South Pole by air-
Ilane will be the big feature of the
British Imperial Antarctic Expedition.
which will set out next summer tinder
the direction of Dr. John L. Cope. The
airplane to be used will be so designed
that it can land on the ice by means
cif skids. Three men will make the
dash for the Pole from the top. of the
great ice barrier at the Bay of
Whales. This ice barrier has peaks
11,000 feet high. The machine will be
fitted with a patentedsledge attach-
ment which will be used to carry pro-
visions and equipment if anything
happens to prevent the journey being
completed in the air. With a full load
and crew the plane will weigh 12,600
pounds, and will average a speed of
ninety-three miles an hour.
One of the latest creations in the
flying world is America's smallest
flying craft, the `Butterfly," which
recently made a successful flight at
'.ollege Point, Long Island. The
"Butterfly" weighs 595 pounds, and
two stiong men can lift it from the
ground. It is only twenty-nine feet
and nine inches wide and nineteen
feet long. The motor is smaller and
weighs less than the motors in even
(the lowest powered automobiles, yet it
(develops 68 to 70 horsepower. ' The
>rnaximuna carrying capacity is 383
Iteunds.
MINIMUM
IRISH CONTROL
OF FINANCE'
British Gov't. to Grant C's -
toms and Excise ControL
A despatch. from London says: -
Considerable concessions to Irish feel-
ing are likely to be made in the Hem
Rule Bill when it comes up agailz in
a few weeks' time for consideration,
clause by clause, in eceernittee.
The Government has found that a
great deal of opposition to the
measure is based upon its financial
clauses, and is prepared to modify
them to meet the views of critics..
One of the chief points on which
the abortive convention of 1917 broke
down was the impossibility at that
time to get the British Government
to consent to giving Home Rule Ire-
land control of its custom. The
Government is now prepared to
change .its attitude on this point,.
As the bill reads to -day the two
new Irish Legislatures will not he
permitted to levy any .excise duties
on manufactured articles or customs
duties on account of the risk of 'Ulster
and South Ireland embarking on a
tariff war, and the only promise held
out to the .Irish is that after the two
Legislatures are united, control of the
ettstorrts and exeise may be transfer-
red to the new Melt Parliament.
Provided the llrtish Parliament
agrees, it is now likely that the Gov,
ernment will consent to an arrange-
ment by 'which power to levy excise
duties will pass automatically to the
Irish Parliament as soon as it is set
up, Definite pledges may also be in
sorted in the hill as to the speedy
transfer of control of the customs.

Britain to Get
Three German Ships
A despatch from London says: -
Britain is preparing to make a strong
bid for the three largest German pas-
senger ships now building and due to
the allies under the Versailles treaty
-the Bismarck, Columbus and Hin-
denburg, aggregating 126,000 tons.
New.Canadian Dry Dock..
An enormous dry dock, 1,150 ft.
long, 133 ft, wide, and 42 ft. deep at
high tide, is being built at St. John,
N.B., by the Canadian government.
The dock, which will easily hold the
largest ships, is so arranged that a
650 -ft. er 500 -ft. section of it'may be
used alone.
Boundaries Defined --Norway
and Sweden to Assist in

Establishment.
A despatch from London saes: -
Armenia, as defined by the Supreme
o ncil at San
C Remo, u nsi ca , sta of the
Republic of Erivan and the vilayets
of Erzcrum, Bities and. Van, says a
San Remo despatch to the Daily News.
The Supreme Council has abandoned
the idea of giving the mandate for
Armenia to the League r f Nations us
a result of objections raised by the
Council of the League of Nations, and
will ask' neutral Norway and Sweden
to help the Armenian people establish
a free state, an international loan be-
ing floated to finance it, says a Havas
despatch from .San Remo.

port which for so long has been a

Explorer Amundsen
Has Reached Siberia
A despatch from Norrie, Alaska,
says: -A wireless flash from Anadir,
Siberia, announces the presence there
of Judson Amundsen, the explorer.
The details and manner of his ar-
rival are not given.
• The message from Anadir suggests!
that the explorer may have reached
that point with a vessel.
Last August Roald Amundsen was
reported to be drifting, in his ice -
locked schooner Maud, somewhere
north of western Siberia. Nothing
has been heard from Amundsen di-
rectly since September 1, 1918, when:
his schooner was reported to be tak-
ing oil for her motois at D.ixsob Is-
land, a White Sea point.
From the White Sea Amundsen ex-
pected to drift east with the ice to
the new Siberian Islands, which lie in
the Arctic off Siberia. At the new
Siberian Islands it was believed the
drift would carry him toward, if not
across, the Pole. The explorer is re-
' ported to have carried two airplanes
as part of his equipment.
He expected to use these if he found
the drift would not carry him across
the "top of the earth."
The' rule of the road is to turn to
the right -and the same holds true
morally.
There is nothing too -severe to be
said about the dirt roads in the spring,
but it is well to remember that talk
never mended a chuck hole.
AFTER YEARS OF CLIMVIi31NG.
Question of Canada's
Next Governor-General
A despatch from London says:-
Although it is practically certain that
the Duke of (Devonshire will return to
Canada to finish all or part of his
terns as Governor,.General, some quiet
lobbying has been going on recently
in connection with the appointment of
a successor, A large section of the
London press will have it that the
Earl of Athlone, who, as Duke of
Tech, was practically assured of the
post had it not been for the war, is
to have it now. Another name recent-
ly mentioned is that of the Duke of
Sutherland. It is said that the Duke
and i)t, che.a would not be averse to a
terns as vice-regent.+, The Duke has
large lam} interest. in Canada, prin-
eipaily in Northern British Columbia.
He is .o'arg, however, only 32, and
doubt is expressed whether he would:°
be a Strikh°ntly ,olid nominee for
suck app
osition. An appointment
p �
fleck would ti ` v meet ct w th more favor
would be That of Lord Byng of Vbnv.
Trial of War Criminals
at Leipzig Being Delayed
A eiespateh from Leipzig says: --
The preliminary proceedings for the
trial by Supreme Court of German
war criminals has begun, but, accord-
ing to The Neuste Nachrichten, they
are being rendered difficult by the
pertly incomplete and partly erron-
eous data supplied by the allied lists
of acetited.
The date of the main trial has not
been fixed.
The preliminaries also have begun
in the ease against Wolfgang Kapp
and Major-General Baron von Luett-
witz and their associates in the recent
uprising;. who are charged with high
treason. The mass of evidence in the
case is still increasing.
Cattle Industry in Canada
is Growing.
Duringthe year cental December 31
,
1919, Canada's export trade in live
cattle exceeded 500,000 head and was
valued at 350.000,000, or at a sum al-
most equal to the combined values of
live cattle exports during the five pre-
vious fiscal year,. Over ninety per
cent. of the exported cattle went into
the United •States either as butcher
cattle or as stockers and feeders.
During the same period the domin-
ion exported 112.709,517 pounds of
fresh and pickled beef, valued at $20,-
937,848. The total export value, there-
fore, of the cattle industry during the
calendar year 1919, exclusive of can-
ned meats, exceeded $70,000,000.

Can a mau eee t on as little oxygen n
