Aviation Is safer than any other
means Of locomotion. according to NJ.
Flandin, Minister of Aviation here,
whose plans for next year include an ex-
tensive programme which will easily put
France in first place in so far as civilian
flying Is concerned. At the present time
the established air routes aggregate
$500 miles. They will be increased ten
fold next year, when new interior lines
will be in operation and France will be
connected with her African colonies
through a daily aerial service. the pilots,
flying machines and hangers for which
are ready now.
During the first ten months OF this
year French aviators flew million and
n half kilometers. with accidents only al
the rate OF one for every 100000 kilom-
eters flown and only one death for
every 215,000 kilometers flown. Even
bad weather did not prevent successful
flying. the official records showing that
80 per cent. of all flights were success
full. Meanwhile fear on the part of pas

The Air Ministry shows that while In
1919 less than q thousand air passen-
gers were carried between Interior points
and across the Channel the number OF
passengers already carried this year ex'
ceeds 1000. Thirteen tons or freight
were carried last year. while this year
100 tons have been carried. Despite the
high postal rate for aviation despatch
five tons OF mail have been carried by
French pilots since the air service was
inaugtIrated last February.

Two famous yachts and the famous
voyager and oceanographer. the Prince
of Monaco. have been brought again into
public notice by his latest cruise lie has
just returned from an expedition along
the Spanish coast aboard the beautiful
Glralda. belonging TO tho King OF Spain.
The yacht originally was the property
of Col. McCalmont. VI. r.. well known
racehorse owner.
In the ninetles the colonel aroused
much comment by running the Giralda
in strictly man-o'-war fashion When
the Spanish American war broke out
Spain bought the yacht and used her as
a cruiser on this side OF the Atlantic
She has since been retained for the use
OF King Alfonso.
The reason the Prince OF Monaco bor-
rowed the vessel was that his own ia
nous craft. the Princess Alice. is now
on the Clyde, where she is being con-
vertcd into an American cable steam
ship The Princess Alice is already
equipped with elaborate oceanometric
and other scientific devices She is ex-
pected TO create new records In laying

Hundreds of farm tenants in the De-
partment of the Landes are again
threatening to seize the properties they
occupy unless the proprietors abandon
the ancient system Of extortlng large
share OF the farm products. as well as
q percentage Of the farmers yearly in
come. According to social investigators
the movement is being furthered by
radicals, who are calling attention to
the success of a similar movement In
Italy a few months ago. when farms
were taken over from their owners, with
the semi-ofiicial approval of the Gov
eminent, on the sole condition OF n
nominal payment made for legal title
to the property.
Projectors in the Landes. however
declare they will fight the movement
in Parliament. and meanwhile they are
bringing to bear all the influence they
possess to retain what Is almost the
last isolated relic OF the days when
feudalism ruled all European countries
The farms as a rule consist OF sixty
acres with the farmhouse in q more
or less dilapidated condition and with
ramshaclle barns and plgpens, which
have been passed from father to son
through many generations, the only re-
pairs having. been made being those
which were consid cred absolutely vital
to prevent the total collapse Of the
worn out structures.
BY an unlxind trick Of fate the families
OF these tenant farmers are invariably
large. with the result that since the
high cost OF living began TO affect the
rural areas the farmers have been I'M
able to maintain even their meagre pre-
war standards of living.
The tenants have formed a protective
association under the auspices of syn
dicalist leaders and will demand that
the landed proprietors fix an acceptable
yearly rental system, with an oppor-
tunity for the farmers to buy their
farms at the expiration of their rental
period. II the proprietors refuse. the
farmers say they will refuse either to
share their products with the proprietors
or to pay them in currency.
They call attention to the fact that the
public would be affected considerably for

region of Cosse do the proprietors de-
mnnd half the animals raised on the

fruit produced often amounts TO as
much as three-fourths OF the total crop.
In some sections the proprietors have
furnished their tenants with modern
farm implements. but where they have

torted another ten per cent. OF the farm

MILAN, Dec. 1.-THE situation Of
D'Annunzio in Fiume is unchanged.
The Commandant refuses to acknow-
ledge the Rapallo treaty because 1t
renounces Fiume and Dalmatia on the
ground that the annexation Of cara
alone without the hinterland and
corridor to the sea is absurd and
equivalent to a sentence of death in

The majority of the Italian people
have accepted the Rapallo treaty as
of bitter necessity.
To gain the Nevoso Mountain from
tier Italy gave up all of Dalmatia ac-
corded her by the pact of London eX-
cept cara, and the promise of friend
ship by the Jugo-Slavs remains in doubt.
1t is hoped to avoid declaring civil
war on DAnnunzio and that further
conciliatory attempts may succeed lie
has asked official recognition, but has
openly declared against the shedding OF
fraternal blood. calling himself the
Netherlands faithful servant.
Every Italian wishes for a prompt So

ready improving internal situation All
trouble with the working classes move
ment may be considered as finally ended
and national discipline is gradually
being reasserted over the labor masses.
Once the Adriatic crisis Is settled.
Italy will finally settle down TO resume

Italy, in the enormous majority, ac-
cepts the Rapollo treaty without liking

feat and his successful defense OF Fiume.

But President Millerand merely smiles
and keeps his kisses for madame and
their two charming daughters. from
whose company it is almost impos-
sible to lure him, once his days duties
at the Elysee Palace are finished.
The ukase is not without regrettable
features. for while bearded veterans
willingly forego the Presidents en-
brace, pretty school children, who have
the habit of presenting flowers when
visited by the President, also come
