The occasion will be celebrated by mass gatherings, and other appropriate demonstra. tions, but there wil be no parade through the streets. The celebra tion will be under the direction and guidance of the Provincial Kuomintang which has drawn up 14 slogans to he shouted out at the various gatherings. Four pailaus have been erected.

CHINESE LONG DISTANCE FLIGHT.

PIONEER AERIAL SURVEY.

GENERAL CHEUNG WAY JUNG STARTS FOR HANKOW,

FIRST CONCRETE STAGE IN CHINA'S

AIR ROUTES.

[BY R. VAUGHAN-FOWLER.}

Reports have frequently appeared detailing serial schemes that various Chinese Administrations propose bringing into operation, but nothing ever happens, and the general public, very naturally, gains the impression that nothing ever, will be done.

Many of these reports are unfounded, and the persons respon- sible for them are undoubtedly people who have not got the development of China's Aerial activities at heart, possibly they are only thinking, of their own gain.

It therefore gives me considerable pleasure to be able to give details of the first Chinese Long Distance Flight. My information has bem obtained from General Cheung, Wai Jun. Chief of the Aviation Bureau of Canton, who is responsible for the whole fight and its organisation.

Mme. Renet-Teaer, of Isle-Adam, Dear Paris, has been fined two franes and costs for keeping a live female panther in defiance of a municipal decree. The panther is called Cartouche.. It was given to Mme. Renct-Tener by a well-known zoologist, and kept in a cage in the

Mme Benet-Tener protested that Carbouche mewed and purred, but did not roar and could not be smolt at a distance, of a yard from her cage. It could not, therefore, be classed by law with "unclean and ferocious animals, sewage, etc." The Prefect of Police, she said, had raised no objection.

The statesmen may be right in their general diagnosis but it is a pity that, in their public utterances, they do not go a little more into detail and give their listeners clearer idea of life in China as it

is to-day. It is wrong, and unfair to residents here, to lull the Home public and Home manufacturers into the belief that all troubles are over and that a steady, uninter rupted improvement in trade may be confidently anticipated.
