THIRTEEN DAYS
EXPERIMENTAL AIR MAIL PROVES SUCCESSFUL
An experimental mail ment by Hongkong' postal officials to London, via the Saigon-Marseilles air route, reached its destination in 13 days.
The mail, which consisted of only 15 letters, was despatched from Hongkong to Saigon by the Mensageries Maritimes liner Athos II, on June 7. The letters arrived at Saigon on June 10, and were despatched next day by air mail, arriving at Marselies at 7 p.m. on June 19, They were im- mediately forwarded. to Paris, where the regular Imperial Air- ways service, picked them up and transmitted them to London. They arrived there on June 21. The actual transit time between Hong- kring and London was 13 daya, and between Saigon and London, 10 days.
The average
transit time for mail to the United Kingdom via the Siberian route is 20 days, al- though mail has been received in London 18 days after despatch from Hongkong. The air service thus shows a saving of from five to 10 days.
Service Open to Public. Postal officials stated yester- day that specially superscribed Imail will now be sent via the Sai- gon-Marseilles air route, on pre- payment of the requisite air mail įcharges, which, in addition to the
ordinary rates of postage, are:

Letters will be des- patched from Hongkong to Sai- gon by steamer, and will be hard- ed over there to the aerial ser- vice.
Proposed Direct Service.
The present service is distinct from the proposed direct service by air between Saigon and Hong. koug, tentatively arranged by the Campagnie Francaise Air Orlent, the French company operating the Saigon-Marseilles service. The first of the experimental flights between Saigon and Hongkong will be made soon.
Large tri-motored Breguet monoplanes are utilised in the service between Saigon and Mor- seilles, and, in addition to carry. ing air-mail, carry passengers and cargo. The machines leave- Saigon every Saturday morning and arrive at Marseilles
on the Sundays of the following week.
