ADVANCE OF AVIATION. SERVICES TO EUROPE. LOXDON, March 7. The evidences of the coming great boom in air services a.rc daily multiplying. Regular commerci'n 1 . aeroplane trips are being made to France, Belgium and Holland. These services will soon be extended to Spanish and Italian capitals. At the principal summer resorts of England companies are leasing pleasure flying privileges, or considering such projects. An English newspaper is sending by aeroplane free copies of the paper to British troops in France. These are delivered at breakfast time. The German Government is employing hundreds of aeroplanes in order to bridge tiie gaps in interrupted telegraph • and railway services, and to distribute proclamations in disaffected 'districts. correspondents investigating the Austro-Germau distrubances occasionally use aeroplanes to. escape from tight corners. The Times adds interesting particu* Lars to the recent description of the Admiralty's airship, the largest in the world. It was built at Armstrong's, and is a huge, .five-cngined. blue-grey structure, beautifully proportioned, and giving a wonderful impression of size devoid of weight when poisdd ready for the trial flights. The ; range will be at least 4800 miles'. There is a crew of 2:5, and among the luxuries promised are ample hot dinners, an advantage which airships have hitherto not provided. It is believed that, the Admiralty I will compete for the Atlantic prize. ] Lord Armstrong says that "tlie voyage j is quite feasible at GO miles an hour, j It is expected that the airships in the j near future will defv the worst ocean j 'HAWK TALK."

D r j Baylcy's "Hawk Talk" lectup to be' delivered in the Town Hall here tonight. The bird in question, when indanger. backs up against the speckled birch back in his own native woods, against which his own speckled breast is well-nigh, indistinguishable. This protective resemblance —or camouflage —Mr Bayley cleverly swings on to the liquor traffic in a way that made his huge Auckland audience laugh and think. It is safe to say the audience tonight is! going to enjoy "Hawk Talk." As the liquor hawk attempts at camouflage in front iof revenue. in feont of personal liberty, in front of the worker, and in front of the epidemic are outlined and their futility demonstrated the interest in this great lecturer and his lecture grows- This will be the last time this town can hear Mr Bayley, who welcomes quesl- - and their questions at his big inspirational meeting in the Town Hall to-night at 8.
