The United States considers that the Army and Navy Bulletin. possess planes superior to these types, hence they are willing to sell for export.

Besides the Flying Fortress bombers, Britain can buy single-engined combat planes with speeds of 300 m.p.h., but she will not be able to obtain the newer types with speeds as high as 400 m.p.h.

Three types of flying boats for cuastat bombing will also be avall able. Engines, with a maximum of 1,100 h.p. may be exported, but the. United States retains for her own use engines of 1.500 h.p., while engines of 2,000 h.p, are reported to have been developed.

The Army now possesses super- Flying Fortress machines, greatly superior to the original design, while under secret construction are sub- stratosphere bombers, capable fying to Europe and back, non-stop. They have six engines and are launched by catapult.-Reuter.

London, Apr. 21.

The Spanish Embassy here charges that the German General Staff has decided to keep control of all operations in Spain along the Pyrenean frontier.

It is here, in the mountain passes, that the Insurgents have successfully cut the Loyalists way of retreat into France; and it is here, too, that the French have displayed concern for the security of their own border.

It is understood that simultaneously with the German decision a number of high officers have been despatched from Munich to direct the new Insurgent offensive in southern Spain.--United Press.

Ambassador Arriving Here Soon

Now In Hankow After Chungking - Visit

The Telegraph understands from an authoritative source that the British Ambassador to China will pass through Hongkong at the end of the month en route from Chungking to Shanghai.

There is no official explanation re- garding the purpose of the Ambas- sador's protracted stay in Shang- hni. It will be recalled that Sir Archibald Clark Kerr spent a con- siderable time there before actually presenting his credentials to the Chinese Government in Chungking.

His stay in the temporary Chinese capital has been of short duration, for the Ambassador is now in Han- kow.

He will leave Hankow by special train for Canton on Monday, and will arrive in the Kwangtung capital two or three days later.

After a short stay in Canton, the Ambassador will travel on to Hong- kong, and from here to Shanghai by steamer.
