LONDON TO AUSTRALIA AERIAL ROUTE.
LONDON, December 11th. The success of the flight to Australia is 'made a feature in the English papers who have published editorials and special articles
a tribute to Capt. Ros Smith's triumph and pointing out the value of his pioneer work in speeding up communication between Great Britain and distant Dominion. The papers emphasise the fact that the Atlantic fight was a sensational feat, but the Australise flight was an enduring performance, immensely stimulating private enterprise and fore- casting regular commercial air travel
he Australian Government la praised for its enterprise in starting a competi tion which promises to place Great Bri tain in the forefront of world aviation.
The papers point out that the chief value of the flight lies not so much in the fact that Australia has been reached, as in the fact that four Continents have been bridged and practically every overland stage can be made a paying commercial proposition, especially the long line of commercial centres near the Indian Cxean.
The air route, from Egypt to the East, which the Government is proposing to develop largely lies in countries lacking rends, railways and ses communication whose commercial development will be best accelerated by aircraft, and, though Captain Ross Smith has not appreciably reduced the time covered in journering to the

Hence, the present fight is praised, not as a sporting event, but as definitely opening a new era of navigation which will draw the peoples of the world closer, particularly the widely dispersed territories the British Em pire.
LONDON, December 13th. The Times Sydney correspondent states that Captain Ross Smith's actual flying time was 124 hours, with an average speed of 73 miles per hour.
The machine wus sighted in Australia 40 miles away.
The longest time in the air was 9 hours, between Karachi and Delhi, when he was obliged to avoid the great desart as the fine dust would injury the engines
he worst weather was encountered in Malays, where, owing to the heat and stagnation of the air, he worked nightly, tinkering the machine.

„CLEMENCEAU IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, December 11.
M. Clemenceau arrived at Victoria and was met by Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Curzon, Mr. Walter Long, and the inch ambassador. He was accorded a great oration. The Channel crossing was most rough. The French destroyer Temeraire was continuously overswept by heavy seas. This necessitated a gling at Daver instead of Folkestone. At mid-day M. Clemenceau had a conversation with Mr.-Lieyd George at Downing Street. It is understood the discussions will include the subject of French exchange, which is now forty-five francs to the sovereign, the coal supplies of France, the League of Nations, the peace treaty, the situation in the United States, and in, Russia, Turkey, and the Adriatic.
