COMPANY MATTERS J. Samuel White and Co., Ltd. THE directors of J. Samuel White and Co., Ltd., East Cowes. I,W., recommend a final dividend of 4s. 6d. per share, less income tax. The annual general meeting will be held at the registered offices at Cowes on August 25 at 12 o'clock noon, and dividend warrants will be posted on that date. Whitehead Aircraft (1917) Limited AN extraordinary general meeting of Whitehead Aircraft (1917) Limited was held on July n to consider a resolution " That the company be wound up voluntarily and that liquidators be appointed." Lord Wemyss, who presided, said he had not been informed of the unseaworthiness of the vessel of which he took command. He recommended the shareholders to carry the resolution of voluntary liquidation, so as to preserve the company's assets. He alluded to a proposal by Mr. Ambrose Taylor, who, he said, was not a philanthropist, but a business man, and proposed fair terms. Mr. Taylor was now investigating the books of the company. He had been told that various accusations had been made to the effect that all money subscribed had not gone into the coffers of the company. He had ascertained that that was not the fact. He concluded by moving the resolution, which was seconded by Maj.-Gen. Sir Henry de Bras. A shareholder proposed that the winding up should be compulsory, so that the affairs of the company might be investigated, and this resolution was carried by a show of hands. A poll was demanded and showed a great majority in favour of voluntary liquidation. In the Companies Winding-up Court on July 8 New Pega moid, Limited, and another petitioned, before Mr. Justice P. O. Lawrence, for the compulsory winding-up of Whitehead Aircraft (1917) Limited. Mr. Cecil Turner, for the company, said a meeting of creditors had been held at which 70 appeared, and a special resolution was passed unanimously to the effect that it would be in the interests of all that there should be a voluntary liquidation. It was hoped that all would be paid in full and that there would be a surplus. He suggested a fortnight's adjournment. Mr. Owen Thompson, for the petitioners, said he would not oppose a fortnight's adjournment if there was a prospect of the company's suggestion being realised. His Lordship said he thought a week's adjournment would be more advisable at the present and made an order to that effect. K K * K Another Trial by the Martinsyde MESSAGES from St. John's during the week-end indicated a possibility of an attempt on the Transatlantic flight by the Martinsyde, but after an hour's trial flight on July 14 Mr. Raynham decided that the radiator was still not satisfactory, and the start was postponed. The Canadian Air Force THE Canadian authorities are being urged by Brig.-Gen. Odium to hurry on the organisation of a small but efficient Canadian Air Force, as he fears that otherwise Canadian pilots will go to other countries to take up civil occupations. Aerial Services in Argentina AN aviation company has been formed at Buenos Aires, mainly with British capital obtained locally, to establish a regular air service between Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Rome to Tokyo by Air AN announcement in the Popolo Romano indicates that Signor Gabriele d'Annunzio has accepted the post of Director of Civil Aviation in Sardinia, and that he will shortly undertake a flight from Rome to Tokyo. The flight is expected to take 14 days, and the route will be via Asia Minor, India, Tonkin, and China. Aerial Services in Germany THE Prussian Minister of Commerce has sanctioned the establishment of a company for aerial traffic which will have its seat at Frankfort-on-Main, states the Morning Post correspondent at Amsterdam. The capital of the company, it is said, has been fixed at 15,000,000 marks. The promoters of the company are negotiating at present with the authorities for planning out six routes for the despatch of letters with Cologne as the chief distributing centre. Eventually a service for passengers will also be established. The following routes are under consideration :—Cologne- Frankfort-Munich, Cologne-Stuttgart, Cologne-Basle, Cologne- Hamburg, Cologne-Berlin, and Cologne-Breslau. It is proposed to open the service with a fleet of about 200 machines. JULY 17, 1919 Aeronautical Specifications Published Abbreviations:—cyl. = cylinder; I.C.=intemal combustion; m. = motors.
