An arrangement has been made with Messrs. Imperial Airways, Ltd., in accordance with which the Imperial service between London and Amsterdam will be flown on and from August 10 last with a large aeroplane (except Sundays) in each direction, connecting at Amsterdam with services of the Aerotransport Company running from Amsterdam via Hamburg to Denmark and Sweden, with connections to Norway and Finland ; also connecting at Amsterdam with the services of the Nederlandsche Wereldverkeer Maatschappij to Essen and Berlin, with connections at these places with the Europe Union system to Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Danzig, Poland, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Thus some thirty important European cities are being connected by air lines with London.

South Coast Newspaper Deliveries by Aeroplane THE advantage of commercial transport by air over the ordinary road or railway service is expounded in a very- practical manner by the service inaugurated by the Evening Standard on August 2. "In order to meet the demands of the enormous holiday crowds on the South Coast, and to overcome the difficulties caused by necessary train delays," this journal contracted with Imperial Airways, Ltd., for the distribution of many thousands of papers along the coast. A D.H. 50 from Croydon aerodrome, proceeding to Lympne, dropped its huge consignment of papers before reaching Maston, and these were delivered by special fast motor cars to Folkestone, Deal, Dover, Margate, Ramsgate and Canter- bury. A second aeroplane, a Vickers Vulcan, dropped papers at Bournemouth, and cars distributed these throughout Hamp- shire and the holiday resorts of Dorset. 557
