A despatch from London says:-- One of thé latest ideas for the conti- nental aif service is an unsinkable air- plane. It is being eonstructed by the Strgg Lane Aerodrome Company of E¢ zeware. The buoyancy is obtained by an inflated air balloon fitted into the rear end of the fuselage near the tail. It is figured that 'this will keep the machine well above water level in the event of an accident. In the roof is fitted a sliding mica emergency door through which travellers would be able to escape. In- the new machine the pilot sits behind the passengers in_about the same relation as on the bfidge of an ocean liners The Ait Ministry is said to be greatly impressed with its pos- sibilities ' because one of its other qualifications is to reduce the cost of operation. The innovations do not interfere with the speed of the ma- chine, for it will make 120 miles an hour. \ Since the greatest fear of the Channel passengers is a ducking, the new type of airplame is expected to make a great appeal to tourists who like do. travel in the air.

A despatch from London says: -- Rear-Admiral William 8S. Sims, who commanded the United States naval forces in the war zone during the last two years of the war, told Admiral Beatty, commander of the British Grand Fleet, and a distinguished' as- semblage of British and United States men and other prominent persons on Thursday, that the British had been disposed to give the United States navy too much credit for the part it played in the Allied victory. In an address at a luncheon given by thé Pilgrims' Society in his honor, Admiral Sims said: "The British Grand Fleet was the keystone ih the Allied arch, without which you in this country would to- day be speaking German with a very strong English accent." Admiral Sims waved aside personal tributes from Admiral Beatty and Lord Desborough, asserting that had the command 'of the United States naval forces in Europe been entrust- ed to one of the 40 or 50 other (inited States officers eligible: in rank, the result would virtually 'have been the same, SRNR LE sa FL NORWAY SUFFERS GENERAL STRIKE Troops Called to Assist Police in Chief Towns.

If two men will only. meet and tin- burden themselves to each other, it is hard to find any inveterate misunder- standing -that will not ultimately be| cleared away. The trouble between nations and between men too offen is a long-range bombardment of charges and recriminations that piles up a voluminous correspondence and drags on in a wearying and seemingly in- terminable quarrel.
