The theory telegraphed from Paris is that owing possibly to n shortage of petrol, the Commander, despite dangerous weather and wireless warnings, decided that his best chance lay in trying to reach his home base near Toulon, and had almost crossed the Mediter- ranean when the disaster occurred. It is suggested in some quarters that the airship may have been struck by tightning. The fact that - zone of the homing pigeons aboard has returned is regarded as con-

A special training a view to expansion in case of college will be established with emergency. The heavy demobilisations which have already occurred, combined with the release of crer ten thousand prisoners, is likely to put a severe strain on the labour market but this will be met to some extent by a proposal by the Dail to grant immer diate leg frazergency works, chiefwien road.-Peuters
