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.

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.

The plates illustrating the Chinese furniture a.re from a French collec- tion made by Odilon Roche. Cabinets of lacquered wood and low couches are shown with elaborate inlaid work and carving. The beautiful detail work of the cabinetipanels are llus- trated by individual photographs which give a clear view of the intri- cate flower designs inlaid in the wood and the pictures of Chinese scenes. with trees, hills, and tiny Chinese figures. The prayer boards are hand-cut wooden blocks from Mongolia which are used to print Chinese prayers, three languages being represented in the collection, the Mongol; Tibetan, and Manchu. The boards came orig- inally from the monastery of the Sain Noyen Lamas in Mongolia and were sent by camel caravan across the Gobi desert in Asia to"Urga. from where they were shipped by a Chinese e norting firm to the library. The Chinese exhibition at the library will 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 r- ading papers would be clearly shown as well as the weaknesses in tC-1.r teaching as brought out in the Dr. Wilhelm Marx This is the most recent photo of Dr. Wilhelm Marx, who recently ac- cepted the German chancellorship and the herculean task of finding a "serum" that might save Germany's life.
