Arrangements for administering the Thelis Disaster Fund, now totalling £112,000, were made at the frat meeting of the council of the fund, over which the Lord Mayor presided, at the Mansion House.

Assuming that the fund renches £120,000, a preliminary calculation by Lieutenant-Colonel H. J. P. Oak- ley, President of the Institute of Actuaries, shows that it will provide £100 year for widows of comunis- sioned officers and £50 a year for widows of noval ratings. For widows of civilians, dividing them as far as

can be judged into the same classes, similar incomes may be provided. Chlidren of officers muy receive £20 a year until the age of eight, and £30 thereafter until the age of 18; and the children of ratings £20 until the age of 10,

The Lord Mayor said that 90 men went down with the Thells, and so for us present information went the left 170 dependents, including 69 widows and 62 children.

Paris, July 10, The former French Air Minister, Marcel Deat, who gained prominence some time ago by insisting in an article published In Oeuvre that France should not go to war over Danzig, has now written a second article in which he advocates the settlement of the problem by nego- tiation.

He bases bis remarks on the rumours that the Danzig question is to be the subject to mediatory action by a third power.

The British Government, he de clares, shares his opinion that it would be much more sensible to negoUnte over the Danzig question than to open fire.
