LONDON AIR MAIL LETTER

A Flight To Rangoon: Green Breeches And A Red Shirt: "Mangled His Kill:" A Former Viceroy: Admiral Blake's Statue: Queen Mary's Arms: America's Cup Challengers:

From Our Own Correspondent)

London, July 6. Lady Louis Mountbatten is leav- ing London this afternoon on a fight to Rangoon, Malaya and Java,

She is being accompanied by her cousin, Lady Brecknock, as far as Amsterdam.

After a night at Amsterdam Lady Louis Mountbatten will catch the Royal Dutch air liner which shortly after dawn leaves on its weekly 9,000 miles run to Batavia

She will reach Athens to-mor- row night after a day's trip of nearly 1.500 miles. If she decides to continue her flight in the same machine throughout the whole of the journey she will cross the Mediterranean for Cairo on Fri- may, flying over the battlefelds of Gaza, to Rutbah Wells a station laid down in the middle of the desert by Imperial Airways.

Premier of Prussia, and Air Minister, has been able to add one more to his long list of titles. He is now designated "Head Hun- ter of the Reich":

To enable him to carry out in fitting form the picturesque duties which now devolve on him, the versatile General has himself de signed a uniform," which will not seem out of place in Germany's woods and glades,

LORD READING Lard Reading, who is to become chairman of Carreras, Limited, in succession to the late Sir Louts Baron, may be congratulated on best-run companies in the country. his association with one of the

Carreras, Limited, may consider themselves fortunate in having secured the services of a chairman who brings to his duties a com. bination of qualities which must be rare, in any country.

In spite of his seventy-three years, Lord Reading retains the same active mind and the same ability to get quickly to the root of a matter which have been his chief assets in the numerous high offices he has Alled.),

A business colleague who has sat on boards with him ranks him highest among all non-business chairman in this country, both for the impartiality and for the des- patch with which he conducts a meeting.

Lord Reading, as a former Viceroy, should bring grist to Carreras business in the East. The Indian Carreras Company began operations in March of last year.

Lord Reading is on the boards of seven companies, which have an aggregate ̈ capital of about £120,000,000. As the Nationaļ Provincial Bent and several in- 'surance companies are among them, he assist in controlling funds of several times that sum,

ACCLIMATISING ENDEAVOUR

American experts declare that our America's Cup challengers do not get sufficient time in their waters before the races.

Endeavour's programme shows that Mr. T. 0. M. Sopwith's challenger will not be much better off in this respect than Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock V. After racing row, Endeavour will have her last at Plymouth to-day and to-mor·"

races in British waters, consisting of special trials against Velsheda." at. Torquay, on Monday and Tues- day."

She will then 'ge to Gosport to be converted from a catter to a ketch for the ocean voyage, This process takes about ten days. The voyage occupies a further three weeks to twenty-five days,
