KINGS CUP FOR AERIAL

Many of Most Famous Pilots

London. July Is. !
The King has offered a cup for an
airplane race around the British Isles
to be held in September. The race has
aroused intense enthusiasm among air
plane manufacturers. and many Of the
most famous British racing pilots will
compete. A special machine has been
ordered by a duke, whose name has not
been revealed. This has almost been
completed at the London air station.
The race will start either at Hendon
or Croydon and will take a course
slightly inside that which the unfortu-
nate Hawker followed in 1913 when.
through the slipping of his foot from
the rudder bar. the machine fell into
the sea and he failed by short dis
tance from completing the circuit.
One problem facing the flers is the
construction of plane which will be
sble to land at a much slower speed
than usual owing to the uncertain ma
ture Of the landing grounds. In air
circles the race Is regarded as the first
step toward the establishment of fleets
of private racing planes whose owners
win enter In races throughout the world
just as is now done with racing auto
mobiles and horses.

The insistence of the fnancial ex-

that France must abolish the tobacco
and matches monopolies already Is
arousing the subtle opposition Of the
French press. which advocates the re-
tention Of tobacco shop and manufac-
tory appointees as political pawns.
Nevertheless. the Government will
prepare during the summer a bill cal
culated TO open the door to foreign
tobacco dealers. with the view to in
creasng revenue. Offers made during
the last threo years by American and
British chain store interests are being
studied over. and there is a strong
possibility that the Government before
formulating the terms of the bill may
call in American negotiators for expert
advice as to probable profits.

that the starving not only ate the dead
but killed their neighbors In order to
eat them, adding that everybody In
Russia knows Of it. the Bolshevist Jour-
nails frequently publishing the accounts
of such occurrences. He has received
certified descriptions Of cannibalisin
from persons who have dwelt for months
In the Volga region.
In them 1t appears that women are
more often the cannibals. not because
they are more addicted than men to
cannibalism. but because they take less
trouble to escape the vigilance of thG
Cheka police. The photographs seen
by Eric were sent by these police.
The authorities in Moscow gave him
samples of bread, made of pulverized
leaves, animal refuse and bones. and
also furnished data regarding a restaI-
rant in the village of Pongstcher, in tho
province of Samara, where, until it wa
suppressed, human soup was served
