Melbourne, Jan. 26-Progress is be-
ing made toward the establishment of
a gigantic air service which will con-
nect Great Britain, Egypt, India and
Australia. Details of the plan have
been discussed in Melbourne with the
postmaster general and the minister
for defense, and it is expected that it'
will be carried out.
At present the journey from Aus-
tralia to London 'occupies practically
a month. The proposed airship ser-
vice would cut this to a little more
than nine days, which would include
a stay of six hours at each of theM
stopping nlaces. The airships would
carry mail and passengers.
The proposed route is as follows:
Great Britain to Cairo, from Cairo to
Pagdad, Bagdad to Bombay, Bombay
to Calcutta, Calcutta to Rangoon,
Rangoon to Singapore, and from Sin-
gapore to Perth.

two days, from November 9 to Novem-
ber 11, 1918. He marked the transi-
tion into the democratic period. After
his two days of service a commission
of six socialists: Ebert, Scheidemann
and Landsberg of the majority party
and Haase, Dittmann and Barth of the
Independents, took over the govern-
ment and there was no regular cabinet
until February, 1919, when the na-
tional assembly met at Weimar and
Philip Scheidemann became chancel-
lor. He resigned the following June
rather than sign the Versailles Treaty,
and Gustav Bauer took the office for
about a year.
uHermann Mueller became chancel-
for in March, 1920, and remained in
office three months.
Then Constantin Fehrenbach, of the
Catholic party became chancellor and
held the post for a year. Joseph Wirth,
also of the Catholic party, came into
office in May; 1921, and retired in No-
ember, 1922.
Dr William Cano took over the post
of chancellor upon Wirth's retirement
and held ft till last August under the
trying situation brought about by the
occupation of the Ruhr by the French,
and the efforts of the German govern-
ment to defeat the French by passive
resistance.
The catastrophic financial collapse
and the decline of the mark to a point
never before reached by any other
great power's money forced Dr. Cuno's
retirement, and Dr. Gustav Strese-
mann attempted to patch up what re-
mained of the republic after the dis-
astrous attempt to finance Ruhr re-
sistance at the sacrifice of the inter-
ests of the rest of the republic.
Stresemann held on till November
with a coalition cabinet, but the food
shortage and the mounting bread
prices, together with wide-spread un-
employment and the clashes of author-
ity between the Bavarian and Saxon
governments and the Berlin central
government, proved his undoing and
he made way for Dr. William Marx, of
the Catholic party, the present chan-
cellor. Dr. Stresemann remains in
the Marx cabinet as minister of for-
eign affairs.
Of the nine men who have held the
chancellorship under the republic
four were social democrats, Ebert,
Scheidemann, Bauer and Mueller.
Three belonged to the Catholic party,
Fehrenbach, Wirth and Marx. Cuno
was a non-parliamentary chancellor,
having been selected as the represent-
ative of no party, and Stresemann
held the chancellorship as a member
of the People's party.

wooden blocks from Mongolia which
are used to print Chinese prayers,
three languages being represented in
the collection, the Mongol; Tibetan,

were sent by camel caravan across
the Gobi desert in Asia to"Urga. from
where they were shipped by a Chinese

probably continue for two weeks.
SUGGESTS UNIFORM
SECONDARY EXAMSl
Moderator-Topics,' an. educational
magazine, carries -.n article in its
issue of January 17 by Professor Jas.
B. Edmonson of the School of Edu-
cation in which the author advocates
a system of uniform examinations in
high schools of supposedly equal
rank.
Prof. Edmonson suggests a defin.V i
nlan, whereby each year there would
be appointed by the Schoolmasters'
Club one college and two high school
representatives to direct preparation,
of uniform examinations to be given
the high school students in May. The
papers written at that time would be
graded by local teachers and sent toj
the central office for review. Thus
the practices. of local instructors 1i

shown as well as the weaknesses in
