MAURETANIA'S HOME COMING
AN AMAZING JOURNEY

The Mauretania anchored at Flsh9uard,
Wales, ut 1922 on Thursday night. In
twelve days she has crossed the Atlantic
twice at an average speed of twenty-five
knots, or fully twenty-eight miles an hour.
This new and splendid record of ocean
travel is crowned by that of MIR. w. II.
Holt, the special correspondent OF The
Duil1 Null, who, leaving London at
noon OF December 10 reached London
again at 327 this morning after a 1000 mile
tour. He visited three great cities-Wash-
ington, Baltimore, and New York-in thirty
six hours, and interviewed the President Of
the United States and many other celcbrI-
ties.
Scarcely had the Mauretania slowed down
at Fishguard on Thursday night than MIR.
Holt was transhipped to a special tender
chartered by The D0ily Mail for hlmseif
alone. 1t carried him to the quay, where q
special train chartered by The Dd&ty ma
was waiting. That train left England at 1000
p. IN. to accomplish the 26l miles to London
without stop. Paddlngton was reached at 3.2f
on Friday morning, the railway Journey be-
ing accomplished in 272 minutes. Mr.. Holt
reached this journal ten minutes later by
mOtor-car.
This journey, typical of the speed OF the
age, has been accomplished by MIR. Holt at
an average rate of travel for the whole
twelve days and nights of tWenty-threo miles
an noun.
The Maurotania's feat and his own swift
travelling have taken Mr.. Holt from London
to Washington and back in twelve days-a
record in transit neyor before remotely APP

country for home consumption as stock feed.
In New York the holiday season is pre-
sumed to be producing the prevailing mac
tlvlty of the sugar market, but its chief
cause is the European ne ws, which con-
tinucs to confirm the immense crop of beet
sugar now available there. Beet sugar be-
ing down in price to or below the cost Of
production, the producers are very reluctant
about making actual losses and are disposed
to hold On somewhat stubbornly. In this
they will doubtless be aided by the money
IN Europe available at low rates, q condition
which if reached in Cuba, would put an en-
tIreIy different complexion upon that market
and enable the Cuban planters now, as of
old, to hold their sugars until the sugars
we've actually wanted in the markets of the
world. There is even now an actual scarcl-
ty Of sugar in New York and the demand for
refined sugars seems good and the Warner
Refinery, which contemplated shutting dow
during the holiday season for repairs
and q general cleaning up, has concluded
not to do SO. The announcement is made
that the raw and refined sugar markets in
New York will be closed from Friday. De-
cember b. until Tuesday, December 27. all
OF which indicates the disposition of the
New York buyers to repress all signs of ac-
tiyity in raw sugars. With no sugars ON the
spot for sale in New York, the market was
quoted at 3. 1856 for earliest arrivals and with
an apparent anticipation on the part Of buy
ers that they would soon be getting sugars
at lower figures.

The airman was lost IN the mist over the
sea in five minutes. Some anxiety WAS felt,
but was relieved before noon when a tele-
gram announced that be had landed at Les
Buraques, two miles from Calais, q spot made
famous by NJ. Bleriot and other cross-Chan-
mel flyers. A contrary wind, and not engine
trouble, had caused Mr.. Grace to abandon
further flight into France.
At 2.1O pm, the sun shining and the mist
having cleared away to some extent, MIR.
Grace rose from Les Baraques and began
his second flight across Channel.
The two Calais tugs returned to port after
having seen the aeroplane heading we'll cut
towards mid-Cbannel and flying well.
At Ramsgate the ~coastguardsmen saw an
aeroplane quite distinctly about 3 pm. It
was about six miles out at sea, in the
vicinity OF the Goodwin Sands. Then a fog
bank rolled up again and the aeroplane dis
appeared from view. But the coastguards.
men say that they are quite certain The pilot
was heading in a northerly direction.
If this is true it appears that Mr.. Grace
lost his way in the fog and could not see
the shore. A northorly course such as he
was seen steering would take the pilot up
into the North Sea. His petrol supply was
for five or six hours.
If Mr.. Grace fell in the sea the hope is
that he has been seen and rescued by some
passing ship, He wore q cork Jacket over
his flying suit which would keep him ahoat
for an indefinite period.
The battleship London has sent out a
general wireless call to all coastguard sta
tions and lightships which might be likely
to sight the aeroplane. No news has been
received so fAr.-I6jd.

CANCER IT'S CAUSE AND CURE.

Sir Alfred Gould took Cancer as the
subject of his Bradshaw lecture last week
before the Royal College Of Surgeons.
Cancer, he said, is the result of a breach
or failure of foundamentul cell-law. The
conditions known to exert an influence on
the causatioll Of cancer are age, sex (women
beng much more subject than meu), pro-
longed exposure to X-rays, and alcohol.
Statistics of the mortality Of various occupa-
tons from certain diseases reveal the fact
that concer is twice as frequent among brew
ers and publicuns as among clergyman, and
that the cancer incidence III any trade varies
with the attendant habits as regards alcohol.
In conclusion, the lecturer referred to va
rious cases of cancer which be has treated at
the MiddIesex Hospital, and though in some
of these cases the disease was not 'cured"
in the sense Of being wholly and permanent
