SUBJECT TO EVICTION IF
I HOMES ARE NOT BOUGHT
LONDON, March 1 (by mail).—
l Frequent charges that landlords all
. over England, taking advantage of the
i scarcity of houses, have assumed the
attitude of "buy the house at my price
or get out” have been carried to the
House (if Commons with the result
thht the government has promised re
lief. During the Commons discussior
it was stated that hundreds of families
have eviction notices and cannot find
i a place to live.
In many instances tenants have
been forced to pay three times the
pre-war rental and in addition re
cently have received notices that
they must purchase the property it
they wish to remain.
The demand for houses at fancy
prices is unprecedented. Landlords
who invest in renting property are
anxious to realize handsome returns
on sale3 and argue that they are under
no obligation to re-lease property, par
ticularly when by so doing they lose a
big profit.

AIR SERICE TO ALL
PARTS OF AFRICi
LONDON, March 13 (Corresponc
ence of the Associated Press).—Actc
al construction work already has bee
begun in connection with the prc
jected Cape to Cairo air service, th
British air ministry announces. Aerc
dromes are being set up every 60
miles, the present non-stop limit, froi
one end of Africa to the other, th
principal ones being built at Cain
Khartoum, and two in German Eas
Africa, at Kampla and Ujiji,
The route then passes into Rhodesi;
and along the course of the railway t
the Cape. Long before the famou
Cape to Cairo railway is in operatio
it is confidently expected that the ail
plmes will be covering the routes o
regular schedules. The distance i
5,200 miles.
After establishing this service, th;
plan of the air ministry is to hand i
over as a going enterprise to a Britis!
commercial company.
The air ministry is acting as a pic
neer in various undertakings and, ac
cording to one of it3 officials, its pos!
tion to commercial flying will be an
alogous to that of the britisli admii
alty and merchant marine service, i
“Lloyd’s Aircraft Register” is expect
ed to make its appearance in the nea
future. Already wireless stations oi
tho continent signal the passage, af
parent condition, origin, nattonalitj
cargo and destination of passing air
craft.
“England,” said the official, “if onl;
on account of empire communication
has more to ask of other powers h
the way of flying rights than she ha
to grant. Air travel will not be, ii
the main, over the sea. That is toe
circuitous.”

ANDHOMESARE
; DESTROYED
' ROME March 10 (Correspondent
1 of the Associated Press).—An Ameri
" can Methodist commission has re
'* cently returned to Rome after an ex
1 tensive trip through Italy to study so
cial and economic conditions here st
1 that American Methodists may know
3 how best to aid Italy in her great tasl
3 of reconstruction. The commissior
1 consists of Dr. Frank Mason North ol
New York, Theodore S. Henderson ol
3 Detroit, Bishop William F. Andersor
3 of Cincinnati and Dr. B. M. Tipple
head of the Methodist Episcopa
! church here.
1 “Our journey through the redeemed
1 regions w'as a sad revelation to us,’
said Dr. Tipple. We have passed
through hundreds of devastated cities
and villages of the northern provinces
City after city, village‘Ytfter village is
utterly and completely wrecked. Tens
of thousands of homes have been en
3 tirely destroyed. Even where a house
is left standing nothing remains but
r the bare walls, and all the furniture
1 has been removed.
“Here and there we passed groups
’ of returning refugees. They looked
cold and forlorn yet did not complain.
Until w!e saw it with our own eyes we
' did not begin to appreciate the magni
’ tude of the difficulties which Italy has
1 overcome, the enormous sacrifices she
* made to win the war in the Alps.”
FRENCH ARE INTERESTED
IN BOXING EXHIBITIONS
PARIS, March 2!>.—All records for
attendance at, a boxing program were
shattered recently in the little city
of Lo Mans, in France, when 25,000
spectators gathered to watch the con
tests arranged by the Knights of Co
lumbus.
The ring was set in an open square
in the heart of the French city, and
so great was the interest taken by
the French residents that more than
9,000 of the natives gathered to watch
the fighters. Vehicles of every de
scription were seen near the square.
The French peasants drove-for miles
to watch the affair, which drew, it is
said, the largest crowd ever in at
tendance at a boxing show in Europe.
