SUBJECT TO EVICTION IF
 HOMES ARE NOT BOUGHT

LONDON, March l (by maiD.- Frequent charges that landlords all over England, taking advantage of the scarcity of houses, have assumed the attitude of "buy the house at my price or get out" have been carried to the House of Commons with the result that the government has promised re- lief. During the Commons discussion it was stated that hundreds of families have eviction notices and cannot find a place to live.
 In many instances tenants have been forced to pay three times the pre-war rental and in addition re- gently have received notices that they must purchase the property if 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 sales and argue that they are under no obligation to release property, par ticularly when by so doing they lose big profit.

FRENCH ARE INTERESTED
 IN BOXING EXHIBITIONS

PARIS, March 29.--All records for attendance at boxing program were shattered recently in the little city of Le 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 5000 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.

ITALIAN TOWNS ANDH0MESAR

ROME March 10 Correspondence of the Associated Press) An Ameri- can Methodist commission has re- gently returned to Rome after an ex- tensive trip through Italy to study so- cial and economic conditions here so that American Methodists may know how best to aid Italy in her great task of reconstruction. The commission consists of Dr. Frank Mason North of New York, Theodore S. Henderson of Detroit, Bishop William F. Anderson of Cincinnati and Dr. B. M. ripple, head of the Methodist Episcopal church here.
 Our journey through the redeemed regions was a sad revelation to us," said Dr. ripple. We have passed through hundreds of devastated cities and villages of the northern provinces. City after city, village after village is utterly and completely wrecked. Tens of thousands of homes have been en. tirely destroyed Even where house is left standing nothing remains but the bare walls, and all the furniture has been removed.
 Here and there we passed groups of returning refugees They looked cold and forlorn yet did not complain. T1nti1 wa saw if with oTr own aVnS we did not begin to appreciate the magni- tude of the difficulties which Italy has overcome, the enormous sacrifices she made to win the war in the Alps"

AIR SERGE TO ALL
 PARTS OF AFRICA

LONDON, March 13 (Correspond- ence of the Associated Press) .-Actu- al construction work already has been begun in connection with the pro- jected Cape to Cairo air service, the British air ministry announces. Aero dromes are being set up every 500 miles, the present nonstop limit, from one end of Africa to the other, the principal ones being built at Cairo, Khartoum, and two in German East Africa, at Kampla and Ujiji.
 The route then passes into Rhodesia and along the course of the railway to the Cape. Long before the famous Cape to Cairo railway is in operation it is confidently expected that the air plcnes will be covering the routes on regular schedules. The distance is 5,2OO miles.
 After establishing this service, the plan of the air ministry is to hand it oNOI eio n 6oluS cuICIpIlSc tO DIlIloh commercial company.
 The air ministry is acting as a pio- neer in various undertakings and, ac cording to one of it's officials it's posi- tion to commercial flying will be an alogous to that of the british admir- alty and merchant marine service. A "Lloyd's Aircraft Register" is expect ed to make it's appearance in the near future. Already wireless stations on the continent signal the passage, ap- parent condition, origin, nationality, cargo and destination of passing air craft
 England" said the official, eff only on account of empire communication, has more to ask of other powers in the way of flying rights than she has to grant. Air travel will not be, in the main, over the sea. That is too circuitous."
